TapTechNews May 15 news, according to Japanese media reports (now deleted but still accessible through archives), Sony Xperia 1 VI has a display aspect ratio of 19.5:9, while Xperia 10 VI still retains 21:9.
In addition to the aspect ratio, the source also revealed a rendering of the red Xperia 1 VI, which may be a model exclusive to Japanese carriers.
TapTechNews note: Apart from the different aspect ratio making the phone wider and shorter, the design of this phone is very similar to last year's model. The edges around the phone and the front and back sides will be flat. There will be no camera hole or similar on the display. Therefore, the top and bottom bezels will be thicker than you are used to.
