Little by little, rumors begin to emerge about Sony’s new premium smartphone, Xperia 1 V – at least, it is thought that this will be its commercial designation.
Now, for the first time, an image of the new model that shows the rear panel and rear camera configuration has been released. This may include a periscope telephoto sensor which is always an attribute much appreciated by users.
Sony Xperia 1 V may arrive equipped with periscope telephoto sensor
Little is known about Sony’s upcoming premium smartphone. Rumors have been emerging on the Web very slowly and there are not even certainties about its commercial designation. Most sources point to it being the Xperia 1 V.
But now, for the first time, an image of the new smartphone has been released that gives some clues about its design and also technical specifications.
For example, a closer look at the rear camera configuration shows that the new terminal does not have a ToF camera and an RGB IR sensor, like its predecessor. The module of this Xperia 1 V features three sensors, an LED flash, a microphone and of course the ZEISS branding.
But the most relevant point is that the third sensor appears to be a periscope telephoto. Which confirms a previous rumor that had already advanced that the model is equipped with an “optical telephoto zoom module” from LG Innotek, which can provide zoom of up to 9x.
If the information is confirmed, it seems that Sony wants to compete with the new Galaxy S23 Ultra that provides a 10x optical zoom on its periscope telephoto sensor with 10 megapixels of resolution.
As we said, little information is available about the new Sony smartphone, knowing only that the model should hit the market equipped with the latest generation Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor.
Previously, some rumors pointed to Sony officially unveiling the new Xperia 1 V at this year’s Mobile World Congress. But taking into account the proximity of the event, which takes place in Barcelona from February 27 to March 2, and the absence of rumors about the new smartphone, it is quite likely that this will not happen.
