Sony Xperia 1 VI design leak may have just confirmed a disappointing change
  • The design of the Sony Xperia 1 VI has leaked, showing the phone from all angles.
  • Leaked dimensions suggest Sony is doing away with the 21:9 aspect ratio.
  • The ZEISS branding is making a comeback, and so is the headphone jack.

Sony hasn’t revealed anything about its upcoming 2024 flagship, but a massive new leak has outed the renders of the Sony Xperia 1 VI. Thanks to reliable tipster OnLeaks (via Android Headlines), we now have our first look at the Xperia 1 VI’s design, confirming that the phone could be a bit shorter, wider, and thicker this time around.

The renders show the same boxy design Sony opted for on the Xperia 1 V. The camera placement at the back is also similar, with three vertically aligned lenses stacked in a row. As expected, ZEISS branding makes a comeback, and a headphone jack appears up top.
