Sony Xperia phones have always been known for their unique features, but the upcoming Xperia 1 VI may be making some changes to stand out even more. According to a leak from Weibo leaker zackbuks, the Xperia 1 VI will come with a 2K display instead of the usual ultra-high resolution 4K screen found in Sony’s flagship phones.
One of the distinguishing factors of Xperia phones is their tall screens with a unique aspect ratio that makes them easy to hold. However, Sony has decided to make the Xperia 1 VI slightly wider with an aspect ratio of 19.5:9. While some Sony fans may prefer the high-resolution panels and tall design, these features could be contributing to Sony’s low global market share.
Moving from a 4K screen to a 2K display might actually benefit users as most people do not require such high resolutions, and it could also help lower the cost of the Xperia 1 VI. This potential cost reduction could make the Xperia 1 VI one of the top smartphones in 2024.
While some users appreciate the tall design for its multitasking capabilities, not everyone enjoys oddly proportioned displays. Despite some changes, not everything about the design will be different – the Xperia 1 VI will still feature thick bezels instead of hole punch cutouts like other smartphones in the industry.
According to zackbuks, the global release of the Xperia 1 VI is expected in May. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting new Sony device!
