Sony Xperia 1 V will not have a more compact design than its predecessor, according to a new report. According to the new reports, the Xperia 1 V will be smaller than the Xperia 1 IV. Leaked details of the yet-to-be-released Sony flagship included a schematic.

The Sony Xperia 1 V is expected to be released later this year and Weibo leaker, Zackbuks has hinted that it will not be smaller. The tipster has had a run of bold hits in recent times and he provided a schematic diagram of the flagship.

The leaked dimensions of the smartphone are 164.68 x 70.89 x 8.54 which is different from an earlier leak back in February by @onleaks. The original Xperia 1 model measures 167 x 72 x 8.2 mm, with subsequent models slightly smaller. The weights have also varied across the generations of the Xperia 1 with a deviation of around 5g.

According to the leak from February, Sony had overhauled the design of the smartphone with a narrower and thicker chassis. It will be slightly thicker than its predecessor, but its height and width will remain similar.

The Xperia 1 V is expected to be released in May 2023, with a sequential distribution to other markets possible. Sony has not released the full specs of the Xperia 1 V flagship yet, but we expect them soon.
