Sony Xperia 1 VI may have exactly the same cameras as its predecessor

01 April 2024
The improvements will come from AI-powered software, it seems.

You're response would have made sense if they had said sony will go out of business.
But as they only mentioned poor sales numbers, which it's the usual case, your reply makes no sense.

    Stop making phones!.. Just disassemble it, and sell the parts to other brands to use.. You will earn more.

      On the camera sensor side, it's a hodgepodge of leaks. I've seen like three conflicting leaks so far including this one.

        YUKI93, 02 Apr 2024I keep seeing this for like billion times, yet here we are ... moreNo. Sony I remember stated that as long as their other divisons (Camera, Audio, TV, Sony Semiconductor Solutions, Playstation and their various media/gaming ventures) make their profits, they can do whatever they want.

        Unlike LG, Sony is a gigantic group that outputs a lot more money than LG, so it's not surprising that Sony is treating their mobile division more like a pet project.

                YUKI93, 02 Apr 2024Sony never been much interested with Ultra HDR looks. They ... moreActually sony needs to put separate camera apps, auto mode with ultra hdr to attract point and shoot customers, and pro mode which keeps natural processing to content creators. Yeah it needs to research two things and can be incredible expensive, but come on sony, you need to do something about your sales.

                  Xperia 1 never had 4K. Sony loves to lie about specifications.

                  Go ahead, plug it into a big 4K monitor in mirroring mode. It's painfully obvious that it's 2K upsampled to blurry 4K. Force on "second screen" in the developer options and try again. Now the external monitor is sharp.

If so, it would be nice to see more OEMs use its chips. Sadly, Samsung is unlikely to be one of them.

                          Sony really needs to separate xperia camera auto mode (with more post processing to attract point and shoot customers) while retain it's pro mode (which is already incredible for content creators). Hardware wise, its already very capable.

                            Pumpino, 02 Apr 2024$200 just for the chip? No wonder phones are so expensive. ... moreYes, Qualcomm announced that long time ago. There’s a reason why Samsung is transitioning to Exynos and will go all Exynos on the S25.

                              Xperia 1 and 5 "VI" will be a very weak series, boring, few changes, pretending to be AI. Sony will probably have even worse number sales.

                                  Xperia camera use by pro n has become main selling, hard to believe sony stick with last year hardware

                                    YUKI93, 02 Apr 2024Totally understandable. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 already cost... more$200 just for the chip? No wonder phones are so expensive. In that case, I'm more than happy for OEMs to go with economical chips and to put the money towards a decent primary camera at a decent price.

                                      Hoping this means we'll get better mobile camera software AND a lower price.
