Sony just scheduled its Xperia product launch event on May 11th in which the company is expected to launch the new Xperia 1 V flagship smartphone. Sony already confirmed that it will launch new Xperia phones powered by Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 Mobile Platform in 2023, so we can expect the chip in the flagship.
Next-gen Sensor. Next-gen Imaging. Next ONE is coming.

The teaser says that the phone will feature Next-gen Sensor and Next-gen Imaging. We can also expect the company to launch the Xperia 10 V alongside like the last time.
Based on renders that surfaced earlier this year, it will maintain its signature features, including a headphone jack, camera shutter button, and it will also have a fingerprint reader integrated into the power button. The company is said to offer 16GB of RAM compared to 12GB in the predecessor.
The camera flash has been integrated into the camera bump for a sleeker look. Additionally, the camera bump is expected to be more pronounced, with a sloped rim that will match the color of the device. We can expect a 6.5-inch flat 4K OLED 120Hz HDR display, and 3C certification recently revealed 33W fast charging support.
How to watch the launch event?
The Sony Xperia launch event on May 11th will start at 1PM JST (9:30 AM IST), and it is live-streaming the event, as usual. We should know the complete specifications when the phones go official in a couple of weeks.
