we can only hope that the new sensor will be good. as far as we know, only one new sensor has been announced, right? that 200mp sensor or whatever it was.
was there another sensor in the 48mp range that was announced? i don't recall one at the moment.

So Sony is ending production of a sensor, which was only announced 3 years ago?

Sony usually change new sensor after 3 generations of xperia Mobile. I do wish they use this same sensor for their telephoto and a better sensor for their Main 😁😁😁 |

Some more CAD renders here:

Got to say that at first it looks really odd, but I'll reserve full judgement until the final pics.

Yea, definitely need to reserve judgment until official photos. it looks strange for sure. as long as the change is for a good, upgrading reason, i'm ok with it. if they continue to remove features or the "updates" are nominal, i'll be upset.

speculation based of a weibo post, not the most reliable source.

that's my render, and apparently it is not accurate 100% from what I was told. A second case photo (without the phone leaked), so I am updating my render to reflect that. Will update the post once I am done.

Rumor all 3 lenses use 48mp. Hope quality for all lenses improve much

Does this mean a seamless zoom? I know there is quite a pronounced step when zooming between lenses.

that would be a very welcome upgrade if so. but still all unconfirmed rumors. the VII was announced may 13, so we are just about a month away.

I was thinking about this. This is already mid-April, and I wonder when we will get some concrete news/rumours about 1VIII.

Yup. Shouldn't be long now. I've just purchased a pair of XM6 headphones and now wondering if I should have waited to see what deals come along.

even if it comes with a pair of XM6s, you can just sell those and recoup your purchase. the pricing in the UK is crazy even for the bundle (at least with the conversion to USD). I'll be importing from Japan and will plan to get the 512/16GB version or whatever the top end version is.
