It has been about a year since the Xperia 1 V launched, and right on time, Sony is releasing its successor — the Xperia 1 VI. This year, Sony took a slightly different approach to the Android phone, which may prove to be a controversial decision. We’ll get into that and more as we tell you everything you need to know about the Xperia 1 VI.
Design
The Xperia 1 VI comes with a similar design as previous entries in the series, but features a frosted finish back panel. However, the 2024 handset is a little shorter than last year’s model, measuring 162 x 74 x 8.2mm. This change comes at the expense of the aspect ratio, which is now 19.5:9 (previously 21:9). As was eluded to earlier, Sony made a controversial change to the new Xperia 1, and that change is to the display.
