Only last month Sony debuted its flagship Xperia 1 VI smartphone featuring a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor and the cutting-edge Exymor T primary camera sensor. Now, just over a month after its launch, we have the first rumors of its successor, called the Xperia 1 VII.
As per a Weibo post made by user 我打败大魔王 claims that the traditional vertical camera layout may be replaced, potentially allowing for a larger 1/2.3-inch telephoto sensor with a 70-200mm focal range, compared to the Xperia 1 VI’s smaller sensor. The ultrawide cameras could also see upgrades to 1/2.3-inch sensors while retaining the two-layer transistor pixel technology. However, the primary camera will retain its 1/1.3” sensor size.
Intriguingly, the leak also hints at the possible discontinuation of the Xperia 5 series, leaving the Xperia 1 as Sony’s sole high-end smartphone line. It is worth pointing out that the tipster lacks a proven track record, so we suggest readers this report with a grain of salt and stay tuned for further confirmation.
In related news, reports of Sony working on the successor of the Xperia Pro-I have also emerged. The device is said to feature a compact 6″ display with a 2K OLED panel and a 1″ primary camera sensor. The device is rumored to be called the Xperia Pro C and is said to use the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, with 12GB RAM 256GB storage, and a 5,000mAh battery supported with 45W PD fast charging.
