Sony’s Xperia 1 VI is getting official on May 17, and as we get closer to that date the number of leaks about it is growing. Less than a day ago the phone’s camera island leaked hinting at larger camera modules compared to the Xperia 1 V, directly contradicting an earlier rumor.
So far what most rumors have converged on is that the phone will lose the 4K display and will make it have a slightly more common aspect ratio. One piece of the puzzle that has so far not been mentioned is price, but today we have an idea of what to expect on that front too. In Taiwan the phone will allegedly cost slightly less than its predecessor, going for TWD 39,900 ($1,224 or €1,143) instead of TWD 41,990 ($1,288 or €1,204).

That’s not a huge price reduction for sure, and even if this rumor is accurate and this will indeed be the Xperia 1 VI’s price in Taiwan, there’s no telling whether we’ll see similar small price cuts elsewhere – it could just be a unique situation for Taiwan and nothing more. On the other hand, we’re happy to see that the price isn’t rumored to jump even higher than it was last year for the Xperia 1 V.
