Previously we discussed the rumors about Sony discontinuing their Xperia 5 series. A tipster on Weibo made the claim saying “Xperia 5 series, R.I.P 2024”. However, he didn’t provide any further reason that might support his claim. Now we are seeing real-life images of the upcoming Xperia 5 VI protective case, which not only hints about the design but also implies that Sony is indeed working on the model and that we will get to see it in the near future.
No cutout for dedicated camera shutter button appears on the Xperia 5 VI case
Tipster @无本木之人 has shared the photos of Xperia 1 VI and Xperia 5 VI cases that were selling on one of China’s online marketplaces. Notably, the Xperia 5 VI case does not have a cutout for the dedicated two-stage camera shutter button on the bottom right of the phone. Given there isn’t something wrong with the case itself, the phone won’t have the button. Apart from that, the Xperia 5 VI case also shows a similar cutout for the camera, which implies a dual camera setup just as last year – main and ultrawide.
Speaking about the predecessor Xperia 5 V, it offers a 48MP 24mm 1/1.35″ main sensor and a 12MP 16mm 1/1.25″ sensor for wide angle shots. Notably, all the predecessors of the Xperia 5 series including the original Xperia 5 from 2019 had a telephoto sensor.
Another notable change to the Xperia 5 VI looks like a revamped wider aspect ratio. Again, Sony is shifting from its iconic 21:9 aspect ratio to a 19.5:9 one, as reported previously. All of the Xperia 5 series devices have had the 1080 x 2560 pixels taller OLED panel so far, which finally seems to be changing, probably to make the phone a bit more accessible with one hand and appeal to a wider audience.
