At least for Taiwan
The Sony Xperia 1 VI smartphone will be very expensive, like its predecessors.
The announcement of the new product will take place on May 17, but the price for Taiwan has already leaked to the Internet.
They will ask for the device from 40,000 Taiwan dollars (about 1224 US dollars), which is slightly less than what was asked for the previous generation (42,000 Taiwan dollars). It is unclear whether the flagship will become cheaper in other regions, because price changes in Taiwan may be associated with exchange rate fluctuations or some other reasons.
Recall that Sony Xperia 1 V in Europe started at 1400 euros. That is, even if the new product is a little cheaper, as in Taiwan, it will still be a very expensive smartphone.
According to recent leaks, the Sony Xperia 1 VI will not have a 4K screen like its predecessors for many generations, and the screen itself will be less vertically elongated.
