The Sony Xperia 1 VI is out now, but many of you are probably wondering if the hefty price tag (€1,399) is really worth it or if last year's Xperia 1 V would do just fine—especially considering the lower price tag of around €850. That's nearly twice as cheap. If it were that simple, we wouldn't have done an extensive comparison between the two. The newer Xperia 1 VI does things a little differently, and we believe that most of the changes are for the better. Still, it's hard to justify the huge price gap, so we dive deeper into the different aspects like display, battery life, performance,...

The Mark 6 Sony phones were unveiled earlier this week, but if you want one, you will have to wait until June. Do you want one? Let’s talk about the phones and have a vote. The Sony Xperia 1 VI finally gave up on trying to cram 4K resolution in a 6 and a bit inch screen and went with FHD+. And it’s an LTPO panel to boot, both of which combined result in stunning battery life. Well, that and the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, which appears to be running of two AA batteries. For all the focus on gaming in the Xperia 1 VI advertising, the phone isn’t great at it (sustained performance is bad...

This is the Xperia 10 VI, Sony's annual midranger, and on the surface, not much has changed. It follows the blueprint of its predecessor almost to the letter. A mid-sized phone with great battery life, solid multimedia credentials, and the Sony experience for Sony faithful. The Xperia 10 VI is environmentally conscious, which is to say that it ships in a recycled box without any plastic inside, but also sadly no accessories - hope you have a charger and USB cable lying around. Over 50% of the phone's own plastics are recycled too! The new phone has lost the dedicated 54mm zoom...

The Sony Xperia 1 VI is official and it's looking like a welcome refinement of the Xperia 1 V formula. The biggest change is the move away from the staple 4K OLED in its cinema 21:9 aspect ratio and towards a more conventional 19.5:9 1080x2340px panel. The diagonal is still 6.5 inches, but with the new aspect it's actually a slightly larger screen. The display is now brighter too - up from 900 nits to 1,300 nits - and smarter - the LTPO panel variably adjusts between 1Hz and 120Hz, whereas the Xperia 1 V mostly toggled between 60Hz and 120Hz. This will likely have a positive impact...

We are now only a few hours away from the official unveiling of Sony's Xperia 1 VI, its all-out flagship for this year, and as sometimes happens in these cases, a new leak has preempted basically all of Sony's event. This leak fully details all of the phone's specs, most of which we've heard of before, and that's paired with some leaked images that seem to come from an internal source at the company - in fact, we wouldn't be surprised if some of these slides will be used at the presentation itself. So let's dive in. The Xperia 1 VI will drop the 4K resolution screen, as has been...
