Unlike other manufacturers, Sony has a very small annual catalog. With very few exceptions, they’ve only been around for a long time now: the premium-range Xperia 1, the Xperia 5, the high-end compact, and the Xperia 10 for the mid-range.
Almost a year after the last update (Xpepe 1 V, 5 V and 10 V), this doesn’t seem to change. Sony has unveiled its two new smartphones for 2024, along with their specifications. Which ones are they? Well, none less than the Xperia 1 VI and Xperia 10 VI, whose details you will find below.
All specifications of Sony Xperia 1 VI and Xperia 10 VI
The Xperia 1 VI leaves behind 4K screens and launches a telephoto camera with up to 7.1x optical zoom.
To be honest, the design of the Sony Xperia 1 VI is slightly different compared to the Xperia 1 V. It is only a small increase in the camera module and now it is less extended mobile. however, It maintains IP68 protection, the strong color background, the sober style and the much-criticized screen bezels. However, the key is to “extend less”, because there is a reason for this.
Sony has finally given up on 4K screens. This makes sense, as it adds little quality to the viewing experience, increases battery consumption and makes 21:9 aspect ratio videos (16:9 or 16:10) look less good. The Xperia 1 VI now has full HD+ resolution, although it retains a 6.5-inch OLED panel, LTPO technology up to 120 Hz and HDR BT.2020 certification.
There is only one change in the processing department, as the Xperia 1 VI joined the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 bandwagon, which was completely preserved, albeit with 12 GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 256 or 512 GB of UFS 4.0 storage. It comes with Android 14.
Another big change is in the cameras, as Sony has bumped the telephoto lens from 5.2x to 7.1x (170mm equivalent). In addition to that, That camera now has a macro function.. And why are we talking about evolution? Because the specifications indicate that it uses the same sensors as the Xperia 1 V. We’re talking about a 48 MP main camera with f/1.9 (the IMX888, apparently), a 12 MP telephoto lens (it’ll be the IMX650) and a super-large 12 MP wide-angle f/2.2 (the IMX563). The front camera repeats with 12 MP IMX663 and f/2.0.
Finally, other similar specs are: stereo speakers, hi-res audio, 3.5mm headphone jack (yes, you didn’t read that), 5000 mAh battery, 30W fast charging and wireless charging.
The Xperia 10 VI now looks just like the Xperia 5, but remains modest in power
Another mobile phone that Sony has introduced is the Xperia 10 VI, the most modest of its 2024 line.
The most obvious thing is that it loses one of the rear cameras so that it only has two, which seems backwards to us. The same awaits. 48 MP main camera Used last year, as well as the 8 MP ultra-wide angle. Gone is the 8MP telephoto lens. With this change, the Xperia 10 VI now looks more like the Xperia 5 (aesthetically speaking).
Sony has equipped the Xperia 10 VI with Snapdragon 6 Gen 1, a low-mid-range chip that improves consumption and power over the Snapdragon 695 used last year. In addition, the version with 6 GB of RAM will disappear, they will remain in it Single configuration 8 GB + 128 GB. It actually runs Android 14.
The rest of the specifications remain unchanged compared to the 2023 device: 6.1-inch full HD+ screen (OLED), stereo speakers, Hi-Res audio, 3.5mm connector and a 5000mAh battery with 30W power.
Sony Xperia 1 VI and Xperia 10 VI price and availability
The new Xperia 2024 will go on sale across the planet in June, presumably to give time to the launch of the Xperia 5 VI. In addition to that, Sony has only announced the price of the flagship, which is 1,399 euros In 12 GB + 256 GB base version.
