OneLeaks publishes renders of the Sony Xperia 1 V, the manufacturer’s flagship smartphone that should be released this year. The phone is very similar to the predecessor, with the main difference being that it is somewhat smaller and that the camera island now also contains the camera flash.
Just like the predecessor, the Xperia 1 V has a flat 6.5 screen, but will be a bit smaller than the 1 IV, writes Green Smartphones in collaboration with the well-known leaker OnLeaks. Where last year’s version had dimensions of 165x71x8.2mm, the 1 V measures about 161×69.3×8.5mm, according to the site.
Also the renders show that the camera flash, in the predecessor was still placed loosely at the back, is now also located in the camera island. Other than that, little else seems to have changed in terms of appearance in this fifth edition. Among other things, the headphone jack, shutter button and on/off button with fingerprint reader are unchanged from the predecessor.
Just like the Xperia 1 IV, there are three cameras on the back of the device. Green Smartphones expects that it will be a 12MP main sensor, a 40MP ultra-wide angle and a 12MP telephoto lens. The front camera is probably a 12-megapixel sensor. Based on previous rumors, Green Smartphones suspects that the Sony Xperia 1 V will contain a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 soc, 16GB of RAM and a 5000mAh battery . The flagship is expected to appear in the summer.
