In case you’re wondering, yes, Sony still makes phones. Sometimes, it’s hard to tell because these phones do not get much press. They’re very much a niche product, but they still raise a bit of excitement every now and then. For example, a mystery Sony phone just crossed the FCC. However, it doesn’t seem that it’s going to be a flagship device.
Right now, we are all following rumors about the Sony Xperia 1 VI and Xperia 5 V. The former is expected to be the company’s next flagship phone. We expected to bring all the latest specs to the table.
A mystery Sony phone crossed the FCC
Right now, details about this device are very scarce. All we have to go on are two crucial bits of information. Firstly, this phone has the code name PY7-75946U. That doesn’t tell us much about the phone other than the fact that it’s a Sony product.
The other crucial bit of information that the FCC filing listed is the fact that this may not be a 5G phone. Nowhere in the listing does it state that this is a 5G phone. So, we don’t expect this to be a flagship handset. It could be the next iteration in Sony’s line of affordable phones or a new device altogether.
Sony Xperia 1 VI rumored specs
Right now, we are waiting for information about this phone to roll in. However, a lot of information about this phone has leaked. According to the rumors, the Sony Xperia 1 VI could sport the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 with 12GB/16GB of RAM and up to 512GB of storage. There’s even a rumor stating that there will be a 1TB variant of the phone.
Moving on to the display, rumors point to this phone sporting a large 2K display with a 19.5:9 aspect ratio. Sony doesn’t typically put punch holes or notches in its displays. The company opts for larger bezels in order to create a more seamless display, and it appears that Sony may continue this trend.
As for the battery, we are looking at a 5000mAh cell. It could support 30W wired charging along with 15W wireless charging. Those aren’t the most impressive specs by today’s standards, but they are still decent.
One of the most important aspects of this phone will be the camera package. According to the rumors, the Sony Xperia 1 VI will come with a triple camera package. This could consist of a 48-megapixel main camera accompanied by a 48-megapixel ultrawide camera and a 48-megapixel periscopic zoom camera. It may be able to zoom between 3x and 6x.
When this phone launches, rumor has it that it could cost around $1,399. This definitely makes it a very niche and luxury product. While many casual users find it hard to justify such a high price, smartphone and Camera enthusiasts may feel differently.
