A recent report hinted that Sony might be discontinuing its Xperia V series, leaving the Xperia 1 as its sole high-end smartphone. However, new images of a case for the Xperia 5 VI suggest that the series might not be ending after all.
Xperia 5 VI Case Leak
Spigen Rugged Armor Case
A German online retailer listed a Spigen Rugged Armor case for the Xperia 5 VI. The images show the case on the device, revealing some subtle differences from last year’s Xperia 5 V.
Design Differences
One notable difference is the larger LED flash located between the cameras on the Xperia 5 VI. The renders also highlight the presence of a headphone jack on the top, a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, and a volume rocker on the right-hand side. However, there is no shutter button visible. The display sizes and aspect ratios appear to be consistent with the previous model.
Upcoming Launch
Last year’s Xperia 5 V was launched in September, which leaves ample time for Sony to start teasing the upcoming Xperia 5 VI.
Conclusion
While there was speculation about the discontinuation of the Xperia V series, the new case listing for the Xperia 5 VI indicates that Sony may continue with this line. Fans of the Xperia series can look forward to potential updates and official announcements from Sony in the near future.
