Sony announced the Xperia 1 II flagship premium smartphone late February in a pre-recorded video as part of its MWC 2020 presentation, which was called off due to coronavirus outbreak. But this smartphone is yet to hit the shelves and hence some of its specs are still unknown, apart from those shared by the company. But now, thanks to a new leak from Japan, we know more details about the phone’s cameras and storage.
According to a couple of pictures from Japan, the new Sony Xperia 1 II smartphone features camera sensors by both Sony and Samsung and comes with UFS 3.0 storage. Almost all Sony premium smartphones have used the company’s own sensors but this time the Japanese Electronics giant has taken a different approach.
The first picture shows us the list of camera sensors included in the device. The primary camera of 12MP 24mm with f/1.7 aperture uses the Sony IMX557 sensor, which as per its model name could be an improved version of the Sony IMX555 sensor used by Samsung on its Galaxy S20 and Galaxy S20 Plus. Whereas, the 12MP 16mm ultra-wide camera with f/2.2 apertures uses the old tried and tested Sony IMX363 present on Google Pixel 4 and Pixel 3A series.
Further, the phone features a Samsung ISOCELL S5K3T2 sensor for its 12MP 70mm telephoto camera with f/2.4 aperture. Also, for the front 8MP 24mm f/2.0 selfie camera, the phone uses another Samsung made sensor with model number ISOCELL S5K4H7.
On the other hand, the second picture confirms Xperia 1 II to come with UFS 3.0 storage, which is slightly slower than the new UFS 3.1 storage standard. Although this does not make much difference, a premium smartphone is always expected to have the latest tech.
