Sony Xperia 5 VI Alleged Cases Listed by Retailer Reveal Design

Sony Xperia 5 V with Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC and 5,000mAh battery was launched in September last year. Now, Sony seems to be gearing up to introduce the Sony Xperia 5 VI. The company is yet to confirm its existence, but ahead of it, purported cases of the Sony Xperia 5 VI have been spotted on a German retailer website, hinting at an imminent launch. The protective cases indicate a similar design language to that of the Sony Xperia 5 V.

German retailer Alza.de has listed Spigen Rugged Armor cases for unannounced Sony Xperia 5 VI with a price tag of EUR 16.90 (roughly Rs. 1,536). The listing shows the case on the device with slight differences compared to last year’s Sony Xperia 5 V. It seems to have a pill-shaped camera module. The LED flash is placed between the two cameras, whereas the existing Xperia 5 V has an LED flash on the left side.

The renders of the alleged Sony Xperia 5 VI show a headphone jack on the top. The right spine seems to have a side-mounted fingerprint scanner and a volume rocker. The display sizes and aspect ratios seem to be similar to the previous model. 

Sony has yet to give any hints about the Xperia 5 VI, but we can expect it to go official soon.
