Key Points:

  • Confirmation of a 19.5:9 display aspect ratio for Sony Xperia 1 VI, departing from the previous 21:9 ratio.
  • The transition from 4K to Full HD+ panel, dispelling rumors of a 2K display.
  • Red-colored variant leaks, possibly exclusive to a Japanese carrier, with a design resembling its predecessor.

In an unexpected turn of events, details regarding the display aspect ratio of the upcoming Sony Xperia 1 VI have surfaced, courtesy of a Japanese media outlet. While the information was inadvertently revealed and subsequently removed, vigilant users on Reddit managed to unearth cached evidence confirming a departure from the 21:9 ratio seen in its predecessor, the Xperia 1 V. The Xperia 1 VI will adopt a wider 19.5:9 aspect ratio, signaling a strategic shift by Sony.

Moreover, rumors surrounding the display’s resolution have been addressed. Contrary to speculation, Sony is reportedly opting for a Full HD+ panel rather than a 2K display, aligning with industry standards while maintaining visual quality. However, what remains puzzling is Sony’s decision to retain the 21:9 ratio for the Xperia 10 VI, diverging from the trend observed with its flagship counterpart.

In addition to the display revelations, leaks have also surfaced regarding a red-colored variant of the Xperia 1 VI. Despite its appearance in the article, its global availability remains uncertain, hinting at a potential exclusivity deal with a Japanese carrier. Nevertheless, design similarities to its predecessor are evident, with Sony maintaining its minimalist aesthetic and iconic camera layout.

As anticipation builds, Sony enthusiasts eagerly await the official launch of the Xperia 1 VI and Xperia 10 VI, scheduled for tomorrow. With promising design updates and display innovations, Sony aims to make a significant impact in the competitive smartphone market once again.
