Sony Xperia 1 VI teaser hints at new aspect ratio

Sony is gearing up to announce its latest flagship smartphone – the Xperia 1 VI on Friday, May 17 and the latest teaser focuses on the upcoming flagship’s display.

Sony is moving to a “new display technology” on the Xperia 1 VI which is likely a new version of its BRAVIA engine which is also used on the 2024 lineup of BRAVIA TVs. The more important bit is that the Xperia 1 VI will move to a more traditional 19.5:9 aspect ratio instead of the 21:9 ratio seen on all previous Xperia 1 models.

The panel is expected to come in at 6.5-inches and is rumored to ditch the 4K resolution which was a staple on the Xperia 1 series since 2019. With just 3 days to go until the Xperia 1 VI launch we should be getting some final teaser in the next few days before Sony unveils the device.
