Sony‘s Xperia smartphones have long held a unique place in the Android ecosystem. These devices consistently boasted a 21:9 aspect ratio, perfect for cinephiles and those who valued a taller screen. However, rumors surrounding the upcoming Xperia 1 VI indicate a significant departure from Sony’s established design language.

According to leaker Zackbuks on Weibo, the Sony Xperia 1 VI looks set to become more conventional in form. That is, the company might ditch its long-favored 21:9 aspect ratio for a more conventional 19.5:9 aspect ratio.

While this shift might disappoint some fans who prefer a taller aspect ratio, it could be a strategic move by Sony to appeal to a broader audience. The 21:9 ratio caters to a specific niche, and a change could mean targeting the masses.

Apart from this, the leak also says the company may decrease the screen resolution from 4K to 2K. However, the overall design of the phone is tipped to be similar to that of its predecessor. 

While that’s all the new leak reveals about the Xperia I VI, a previous report suggests that all three cameras on the back of the Xperia 1 VI will feature 48MP Exmor T sensors.

Moreover, it’s rumored that Sony is planning to include the world’s first in-camera digital signature technology in its next-generation Xperia phones. This feature would let users digitally sign photos right into the camera, ensuring their authenticity and preventing tampering.
