Sony’s forthcoming Xperia 1 VI is anticipated to undergo slight alterations in dimensions compared to its predecessor, the Xperia 1 V, as per recent leaks. The rumored removal of the 4K display in favor of a 19.5:9 aspect ratio would result in a shift in the phone’s measurements.
The purported dimensions for the Xperia 1 VI are 162 x 74.4 x 8.45mm, making it 3mm shorter and slightly wider than the Xperia 1 V, which measures 165 x 71 x 8.3mm.

Despite the reduction in vertical space, Sony is speculated to retain its traditional design with top and bottom bezels. This decision ensures the preservation of features like stereo speakers and a front-facing camera housed within the bezel rather than integrated into the screen.
Regarding the display, leaked information suggests a screen size of 149.6 x 69.4mm, resulting in a 19.4:9 aspect ratio and a 6.49-inch diagonal measurement.

Additionally, there are mentions of other models like the Xperia 5 VI with 8GB of RAM and the Xperia 10 VI with either 6GB or 8GB of RAM, although it remains uncertain whether these models will also debut alongside the Xperia 1 VI in May.
