Sony Xperia 1 VI Leak Unveils Enhanced Camera App and Alpha-Inspired Features

 A plethora of details has emerged regarding the Sony Xperia 1 VI, offering a comprehensive look at the upcoming smartphone. From specifications to camera capabilities, the leaks leave little to the imagination. As reported by MSPowerUser, the device is expected to be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset and house a sizable 5,000 mAh battery, purportedly providing two days of usage on a single charge. Front and center is an OLED display, although the exact size remains undisclosed, with rumors suggesting a 19.5:9 aspect ratio, slightly smaller than its predecessor, the Xperia 1 V, which boasted a 21:9 aspect ratio.

However, the real highlight lies in the software department. According to MSPowerUser, Sony is integrating its Photography Pro, Videography Pro, and Cinema Pro apps into a unified tool, a move evidently influenced by its own Alpha series cameras.

Taking a cue from the Alpha line, the Xperia 1 VI is anticipated to feature “human pose estimation technology,” enabling precise focus even on subjects facing away from the camera or partially obscured. Moreover, Sony reportedly plans to introduce a Video Creator app, streamlining video production and content creation for users.

Camera enhancements are also on the horizon.

While earlier leaks suggested no alterations to the Xperia 1 V’s camera system, MSPowerUser suggests otherwise. While specific megapixel counts are undisclosed, the main wide-angle camera is expected to feature a 24mm lens supported by an “Exmor T for mobile stacked CMOS image sensor,” simulating a 48mm lens with 2x optical zoom capability. Complementing this is an ultra-wide-angle camera with a 16mm lens and a telephoto option offering a 95 to 170mm lens with 7x zoom capability. Sony asserts that photos captured with the Xperia 1 VI’s main lens will rival those taken with their full-sized cameras.

In addition to the impressive camera setup, the smartphone is poised to offer an array of audio enhancements, including support for the DSEE Ultimate upscaler. Sony’s developers are reportedly refining the device’s speakers to deliver improved bass and clarity.

Turning to the display, Sony may introduce several gaming-focused features, such as a 240Hz touch scanning rate for swift responsiveness and FPS Optimizer for maintaining high in-game frame rates. To mitigate overheating concerns resulting from the powerful hardware, the Xperia 1 VI is rumored to incorporate a vapor chamber cooling system.
