Sony smartphones have niched down over the years, focusing on enthusiast camera features and cinema-wide 21:9 4K screens. But this year Sony seems to be going for the mainstream.
The Xperia 1 VI is, on paper, pared back in some aspects when compared to its predecessor, the Xperia 1 V. Its screen is Full HD, not 4K, it misses out on pro video features as seen in the Xiaomi 14 Ultra and past Sony phones – at least until a future update – and Sony has also ditched the 21:9 aspect ratio its phones have become known for in favour of a more traditional, squat 19.5:9 screen. What’s going on?
