Sony Xperia 5 VI Spotted on German Retailer: Design Details Leaked

New Delhi: Sony is gearing up to launch its next smartphone, the Sony Xperia 5 VI, following last year’s Xperia 5 V. Although Sony has not yet confirmed the Xperia 5 VI, recent listings on a German retailer site suggest the launch is imminent. Protective cases for the Xperia 5 VI have been listed, hinting at its design and some changes compared to its predecessor.

Design and Features

The listed Spigen Rugged Armor cases, priced at EUR 16.90 (roughly Rs. 1,536), reveal a similar design to the Sony Xperia 5 V with slight differences. Notably, the Xperia 5 VI features a pill-shaped camera module with the LED flash placed between the two cameras. In contrast, the Xperia 5 V had its LED flash on the left side. Additionally, the Xperia 5 VI renders show a headphone jack on the top, a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, and a volume rocker on the right spine. The display size and aspect ratios appear to be consistent with the previous model.
