Sony Xperia 1 V: Leaks, Release Date, Price, and More Details

Due to its unique characteristics, the Sony Xperia 1 IV is in many respects among the most intriguing smartphones so far in 2022. However, the Sony Xperia 1 V has a number of flaws and is very expensive. As a result, we've outlined the adjustments we'd want to see made to the device below. However, before that, we've provided information on the potential release date, price, and specifications of the Sony Xperia 1 V. Although we haven't heard much just yet, we'll be sure to update this page as new leaks and rumors come in.

Sony Xperia 1 V: Release date and price

We can't be very certain when the Sony Xperia 1 V will launch because Sony hasn't been very consistent with its Xperia 1 line releases, especially in the absence of any speculations. For comparison, the Sony Xperia 1 IV was unveiled on May 11 of 2022, and released in the UK on June 16; however, it won't be available in the US until September 1 and won't be available at all in Australia. The Sony Xperia 1 III was unveiled in April of the year prior, but it wasn't until August that it was officially made available for purchase. The two versions before that were announced in February and went on sale in May.

What can we conclude from this, then? It's likely that the Sony Xperia 1 V will be unveiled in the first half of 2022. May, albeit that is not a given considering that would be a year after the release of the Xperia 1 IV. Since there is sometimes a considerable delay following the announcement, it is even harder to predict when it will actually be released. However, some places may receive it in or around June, while Australia is likely to miss out entirely. The Sony Xperia 1 IV is priced at $1,599 in the US for a model with 512GB of storage. Only a 256GB version, priced at £1,299.99, is offered in the UK. Therefore, we speculate that the Sony Xperia 1 V might cost about the same. The Xperia 1 IV is already among the most expensive non-foldable phones you can get, so hopefully it won't cost much more.

Sony Xperia 1 V: News and leaks

Although there haven't been any Sony Xperia 1 V leaks, there is evidence that Sony may be placing a lot of emphasis on the camera. For starters, Sony typically places a lot of emphasis on the cameras of its flagship models. However, the company has also stated that it anticipates smartphone still image quality to surpass that of DSLRs by the end of 2024. That implies that it anticipates significant advancements in smartphone cameras over the following two years, some of which should be visible in the Sony Xperia 1 V. One such advancement might be a new sensor, perhaps the company's newly unveiled 1-inch sensor that will initially be used in the Xiaomi 12S Ultra.
