The Sony Xperia 1 VI, expected to launch soon, may come with a slightly reduced price tag in Taiwan compared to its predecessor, according to a recent rumor.
As per a report by SumahoDigest, a user on Weibo has shared a snippet of code that reveals that the Sony Xperia 1 VI will come with a price tag of 39,990 TWD in Taiwan, which roughly translates to USD 1,227. This represents a decrease of around 5% from the Sony Xperia 1 V, which was initially priced at 41,990 TWD.
While there’s a chance of a price drop in other regions as well, the new Xperia 1 VI is still a premium device. The previous Xperia 1 V was priced at $1,399 in the U.S. and £1,299 in the UK. The new Xperia 1 VI is expected to be unveiled at a launch event in Japan scheduled for May 17.
So far, reports have revealed that the Xperia 1 VI will feature a 19.5:9 aspect ratio, rather than the 21:9 ratio present on its predecessor. It is also rumored to downgrade to a 2K display rather than a 4K one.
Regarding the camera setup, there’s some uncertainty. Initially, it was claimed that the Xperia 1 VI would boast a triple camera setup with 48MP Exmor T sensors across all lenses. However, a more recent report contradicts this, suggesting a setup comprising a 48 MP main camera, a 12 MP ultra-wide camera, and a 12 MP telephoto camera. Only the main camera would feature an Exmor T sensor. Notably, this configuration mirrors that of the current Xperia 1 V.
