New Sony Xperia 1 VI details the chipset, and cameras, battery

At its anticipated launch on May 17, Sony is expected to unveil its flagship smartphone, the Xperia 1 VI. Although we've had some insights into it in recent weeks, a fresh report today sheds more light on it, accompanied by leaked renders that you can view here.

Not surprisingly, powering the Xperia 1 VI will be Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC. The device will boast three cameras: a 16mm ultrawide, a 24mm primary (48mm with 2x optical zoom), and an 85-170mm telephoto zoom..

The Xperia 1 V's zoom camera was limited to 125mm, but this one's zoom capability goes beyond that. Other specifications seem to remain unchanged. Sony promises that the Xperia 1 VI's primary camera will rival its "full-size" cameras in terms of image quality and will even offer macro shooting capabilities.

In a significant software shift, after years of having several camera apps, there will now be just one new camera app during the major software revolution, apparently inspired by Sony's Alpha series cameras. Additionally, the Xperia 1 VI will feature "human pose estimation technology" derived from the Alpha series, allowing precise focus on objects even if their faces are obscured or they're facing away. Moreover, a new software named Video Creator will simplify video creation.

The Xperia 1 VI is anticipated to deliver improved bass and clarity from its speakers while retaining the 3.5mm headphone connector. Available in black and "platinum silver" hues, the phone will feature frosted textured glass on the rear.  The OLED panel is rumored to be 1.5 times brighter than the one in the Xperia 1 V, 

with the display boasting the often-rumored larger aspect ratio of 19.5:9. Additionally, the panel's refresh rate will be adjustable, ranging from 1 Hz to 120 Hz, with a touch sampling rate of 240 Hz.  Reports suggest that the battery will have a capacity of 5,000 mAh and will integrate updated battery health technology,

potentially extending the cell's lifespan to four years. Both wireless charging and reverse wireless charging will be supported by the phone.  Furthermore, customers in "select regions" who purchase the Xperia 1 VI may receive a year of free Sony Pictures movie streaming and up to five remastered movies with DTS sound and IMAX video.  For more information, you can refer to the source.
