According to recent leaks, Sony’s upcoming Xperia 1 VI is expected to feature slight changes in dimensions compared to its predecessor, the Xperia 1 V. It is rumored that eliminating the 4K display and adopting a 19.5:9 aspect ratio will lead to changes in the size of the phone.
The Xperia 1 VI’s claimed dimensions are 162 x 74.4 x 8.45 mm, which is 3 mm shorter and slightly wider than the Xperia 1 V’s 165 x 71 x 8.3 mm.

Despite the reduction in vertical space, Sony is speculated to retain its traditional design of top and bottom bezels. This decision ensures that features like the stereo speakers and front-facing camera are retained, which sit within the bezels rather than being integrated into the screen.
Regarding the display, the leaked information suggests that the screen will measure 149.6 x 69.4 mm, with an aspect ratio of 19.4:9 and a diagonal size of 6.49 inches.

Additionally, other models have been mentioned, such as the Xperia 5 VI with 8GB of RAM and the Xperia 10 VI with 6GB or 8GB of RAM, although it’s currently unclear whether these models will also debut alongside the Xperia 1 VI in May.
