If I leave it at the window and start recording video, will easily capture sound of cars, birds, dogs barking and the construction site tools without overlapping each other.
You can hear each of them clearly.

      BTW V60 has good mics, I would say comparable to decent low end.

        Also, frame is not flat, and body looks unibody design.
        If the cameras were aligned, I could believe it is 10 Plus ii.
        But it is fake obviously.

            Well since Night Mode flashlight has been reduced to just that a flashlight so maybe Sony moved it to the top?

                  Same cameras, same amount of ram/storage, about 3800 - 3900mAh.

                  Rumors point to a new Pro app for Audio that will come to 1ii with android 11 update.

                              It is fake. The cam is upside down.

                                That's just a part and mirror from Xperia 1 II's camera.

                                  Sony needs to work on its haptics. It's been using the same buzzy motor for years.

                                    How could a mini flagship not have an LED flash tho? Sounds crazy

                                      Even the camera layout is upside down(the "Zeiss T*" logo is upside down), so I won't count on the mockup for anything other than to show the approximate location of the camera cutout.

                                        Why is the camera island upside down in the renders? You can clearly see the Zeiss T* is upside down. Plus there's a possibility the camera hump is a place holder and it will have a flash embedded in the island somewhere.
