Sony Xperia 1 V Launch Date Announced by the Brand
Next-gen Sensor. Next-gen Imaging. Next ONE is coming.
In a tweet from the official Sony Xperia handle, Sony announced that the next-generation Sony Xperia One smartphone is on the way. According to the tweet, the next One is coming on May 11 at 13:00 Japan Time or 09:30 IST.
As of now, it’s still being determined whether the smartphone will make its global debut, but going by Sony’s track record, it might remain exclusive to Sony’s home market at launch. It is what the brand did in 2022 when it launched the Xperia 1 IV in Japan in May before launching it in the US in September. It remains to be seen if the brand will also follow the same strategy this year.
The tweet also mentions that the upcoming flagship device will feature a next-generation camera sensor. However, apart from this, the brand has not revealed any other specifications of the Xperia 1 V.
