There have been several new Xperia 1 V rumors, but it seems like one of them is not entirely reliable. A potential Sony Xperia 1 V has reportedly been benchmarked on Geekbench once more; however, despite the best efforts of certain fans, the initial record appears to remain hidden from the general public.
According to SumahoDigest, a typically trustworthy source, the purported Geekbench entry is for the “Sony XQ-DT72” model, which is assumed to be an Xperia 1 for 2023. The OpenCL score for GPU testing is 11,647 points, which is essentially twice as much as the previous score (Adreno 740 iGPU vs. Adreno 730 iGPU).
Due to the apparent performance boost between the iGPU components of the Xperia 1 IV and Xperia 1 V, this specific benchmark leak appears to be rather shady, however, another rumor from ZACKBUKS comes in a more reliable form.
According to the well-known Xperia leaker, the Sony camera team may use LG Innotek’s “Optical Telephoto Zoom Module,” which has the dual advantages of providing 4x to 9x magnification and being so small as to do away with the need for a camera bump. It would be a shocking step for Sony to move away from its own camera expertise.
The Xperia 1 IV launched in China in June and didn’t get on sale in the US until September, and the Xperia 1 III likewise took its time going from China to the US and UK (over two-and-a-half months). However, according to a different insider, Sony is already two months ahead of schedule in the Xperia 1 V’s testing phase compared to its 2022 predecessor. As a result, the launch might happen as early as April 2023. With a little luck, this might mean that fans of the adored line outside of China could see the arrival of the Sony Xperia 1 V in the US, UK, and other countries by June.
