Sony Xperia 1 VI gets Wi-Fi 7 connectivity via software update
Over four months after its market release, Sonyâs Xperia 1 VI just gained a new feature. The device now supports Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) connectivity thanks to a software update which was promised back during the announcement.
Wi-Fi 7 brings faster connection and improved stability with lower latency (100x lower compared to Wi-Fi 6) thanks to support for the 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz frequency bands. Itâs also rated at a maximum throughput of 46 Gbit/s. The new update for the Xperia 1 VI appears to be following a phased release which means some regions will get it ahead of others.
