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...

The Sony Xperia 1 V launched last year with a choice of exciting colors: Black, White and Khaki Green... right. Well, the good news is that this year the Sony design team has added a bolder color option. The upcoming Sony Xperia 1 VI will also be available in Red as can be seen in the image below.

Sony is gearing up to announce its latest flagship smartphone – the Xperia 1 VI on Friday, May 17 and the latest teaser focuses on the upcoming flagship’s display. Sony is moving to a “new display technology” on the Xperia 1 VI which is likely a new version of its BRAVIA engine which is also used on the 2024 lineup of BRAVIA TVs.
