Sony Xperia 1 VI, 5 VI, and 10 VI RAM amounts leak

Sony is readying its trio of smartphones for 2024 currently - the Xperia 1 VI absolute flagship, the 5 VI compact flagship, and the 10 VI mid-ranger. Today the RAM amount options that all three of these will come with have been leaked.

Let's start with the Xperia 1 VI .You'll be able to get it with 12GB or 16GB of RAM. The former amount matches that in the Xperia 1 V, and the latter goes even further.

Next up, the Xperia 5 VI. This will only come with 8GB of RAM, which is the same amount seen in the Xperia 5 V, rather disappointingly for a device that otherwise has flagship specs - 8GB of RAM is upper-midrange at best these days.

Finally, the Xperia 10 VI will have two versions. The entry-level model will have to make do with 6GB of RAM, while there will also be an option for 8GB. This only goes to further highlight the issue with the 5 VI having just 8GB - an amount the Japanese company's mid-ranger is matching.

Last year the Xperia 1 VI was rumored to make its debut at MWC in Barcelona, but that came and went with no announcement - and not even a presence from Sony in the form of a booth. So it's currently unclear when we can expect the company's next smartphones to become official, but we'll of course let you know when we find out more.

Yes, be a good consumer and spend hundreds every year on a new phone. Phones should not be designed to last more than 2 years anyway because that's socialism.
