Sony Xperia 1 VI might give up on the 4K display and tall aspect ratio

15 March 2024
The overall design will still be clearly identifiable.

Sort by:

Good, the current aspect ratio makes them useless or at least extremely impractical.

Still, I do have a 6.5 inch phone as well (Moto G84), and that has a nice balance of EVERYTHING, and I mean all things, the only thing I dislike about it is how lightweight it is.

      Punch hole is the cancer of modern smartphones.

      Either under display or in bezel.

            Meanwhile, there's a poster directly from Sony Xperia's Weibo profile that talks about "3". There's a high possibility that this rumour is not for the next gen 1 vi, but for a brand new Xperia line.

                  Good thing Sony still has the most iconic design yet. Still better than cheap imitations from other brands.

                    Mostafa Ahmad, 17 Mar 2024The ugliest smartphone design yet, Sony still in 2014And iPhones is so cool with it's iPhone 4 design in 2024 and Samsung with Sony design from 2017. Very ugly indeed 👏🏻.

                      Mostafa Ahmad, 17 Mar 2024The ugliest smartphone design yet, Sony still in 2014I really like Sony designs. It's boxy from the very start. No notches and holes. If u want this removed, they will also remove the headphone jack and other features.

                        Just trim the front bezel to the speaker grill and add whole punch....keep the 21:9 ratio please

                            Sony's terrible software support means that this phone is a no-go for many

                              Xperia HDR HLG (4K120), search, watch and know what is true. Low light 4K samples. New Xperia devices are really amazing and staggering but non of reviews test HDR HLG (BT2020). Why did this (not) happen? Why did 99% of testers conceal the amazing HLG quality of the Xperia 1V/5V? Why didn't MKBHD even touch the video mode on PRO-I in its test?
                              W-H-Y?
                              Why don't testers mention that you can record video hand-held thanks to the 4K120fps function?

                                210+ comments? Oh wow, typical reaction in Sony articles since like 2010...

                                And honestly, I'll rather wait what Sony going to do with Mark VI. As long, it's not pushing ROG Phone 8-ification and keeping the core features that make Xperia stands out the longest, I'm fine.

                                    So, then bye bye...I don't care about 4k display, but if they remove 21:9 display then I'm out...
                                    Maybe they can add whole punch cutout i won't mind at all, thus the phone will become a bit smaller and better screen to body ratio...
