Sony Xperia 1 V to be the ultimate flagship phone of dreams

Sony is all set to launch its latest flagship smartphone, the Xperia 1 V, in Japan on May 11th. As the successor to the Xperia 1 IV, this new offering has generated considerable excitement among tech enthusiasts.

Recently, a billboard showcasing the smartphone revealed its design and some key features, which only added to the anticipation surrounding its launch. Now, the Xperia 1 V's pricing in the Chinese market has been leaked, providing further insight into what consumers can expect from this eagerly-awaited device.

Sony Xperia 1 V pricing in China ahead of highly anticipated launch next week

According to recent reports (spotted via Gizchina), the Sony Xperia 1 V is expected to be priced at RMB 8,000 ($1,160 or £919) in China. This would make the upcoming smartphone cheaper than its predecessor, the Xperia 1 IV, which was priced at RMB 8,499 ($1,231). The price difference between the two Xperia generations is surprisingly low, at approximately 6%.

As Xperia phones have a strong following in China, Sony's decision to price the Xperia 1 V aggressively in this market could be a smart move. However, the pricing for the global market is expected to match that of its predecessor, making it an attractive option for customers seeking an upgraded device.

Sony Xperia 1 V rumored specifications

The Sony Xperia 1 V has been confirmed to feature a next-generation imaging sensor, which is expected to deliver high-quality images even in low-light conditions. The smartphone's design aligns with previously leaked renders and will be available in White, Black, and Green color options.

The main specifications of the Xperia 1 V are rumored to include a 6.5-inch 4K HDR OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC with 16GB RAM. The combination of these features promises to provide a smooth and powerful performance, making it an attractive option for tech enthusiasts.
