Sony is preparing to announce a new smartphone with advanced cameras – Sony Xperia 1 V. The presentation will take place on May 11, according to the official promotional video published by the company on YouTube.
A number of foreign sources partially disclosed information about the future novelty from Sony. It was reported that the flagship smartphone of the new generation will look similar to the models of the previous generation of this line.
This is confirmed by images of the device that were shown on billboards in Hong Kong:
The billboard states that the Sony Xperia 1 V smartphone will be equipped with a “next-generation dual low-noise light sensor.” This means that the smartphone camera will be able to provide an increase in quality in low light conditions compared to previous generation models.
In total, the device will receive three main camera modules. This includes a 12MP main camera, a 12MP periscope module and a 48MP ultra-wide-angle camera, the source said.
All cameras will work in conjunction with the flagship-level chipset – Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. At the same time, the smartphone can become the thinnest device with this processor. Whether this figure will be achieved through the use of a more advanced cooling system or otherwise is still unknown.
A more detailed image of the main camera unit of the Sony Xperia 1 V smartphone has been published:
You can see three modules of the main camera unit of the smartphone, an LED flash and a microphone hole. The 12-megapixel periscope module has a telephoto lens from LG Innotek, which will provide a 9x optical zoom.
In addition, the global version of Xperia 1 V will receive NFC support. The smartphone will have a 6.5-inch display without holes and cutouts, as well as 16 GB of RAM and a 5000 mAh battery. The price of the device at the start of sales will exceed $1,000 (80,000 dollars at the current exchange rate).
