Sony has unleashed the successor to its Xperia 1 V after a year, the Sony Xperia 1 VI. Interestingly, this year, Sony took a slightly different approach and made a few very different changes compared to the previous iterations. The display and the aspect ratio have changed slightly, while the 3.5mm audio jack remains. That’s good news for wired headphone fans. Here’s what you need to know about the Xperia 1 VI. Sony Xperia 1 VI: design and specs Image: KnowTechie We’re starting with the design, and we have a few changes this time. The new Xperia 1 is shorter than its previous iterations, measuring 162 x 74 x 8.2mm. The change in size also affects the aspect ratio of the handset, which is now 19.5:9 from 21:9. This year’s major Xperia 1 change is the display, which has dropped to an FHD+ OLED from a 4K panel. Sony has likely deemed the 4K unsuitable due to power constraints. The new FHD+ display, however, comes with the latest color reproduction tech from BRAVIA that employs AI to improve color, contrast, and clarity. Sony is also using a frosted finish on the back panel this year.
