In terms of imaging, the camera adopts the IMX888 primary camera (24mm, 1/1.35, 52MP full aspect ratio, 48MP effective pixels, 12MP static output, 2.24um pixel size, F1.9), which utilizes the new Exmor T Layer Transistor Pixel Stacked Image Sensor, with the first layer being a photodiode, and the second layer being a pixel transistor, which works in conjunction with each other to capture more light and reduce image noise. The camera features a new Exmor T Dual Transistor Pixel Stack image sensor with a photodiode in the first layer and a pixel transistor in the second layer, which combine to capture more light and reduce image noise. It also features a 12MP IMX563 ultra wide-angle (1/2.5 Exmor RS, 16mm, F2.2) lens and a 12MP 85-125mm IMX650 F2.3-2.6 telephoto lens.

It’s worth noting that in order to localize the Xperia system even more, Sony and Meizu entered into a partnership in October 2021 to pre-install Flyme-adapted apps such as the app store, mailboxes, weather, and news on the national version of the Sony Xperia. however, this has created some additional problems.

Blogger @ZACKBUKS discovered earlier this month that Meizu Flyme added Meizu 20 series ads to the weather app customized for Sony Xperia phones. In this regard, Sony customer service responded that the behaviour of Meizu weather plus ads is not the content of cooperation between Sony and Meizu, and has urgently contacted Meizu to remove it.

Qualcomm said that through this cooperation, the two parties will work together to integrate the Qualcomm Snapdragon mobile computing platform into Sony’s future smartphone product line and work together to create the next generation of smartphones. Nuo Hamaguchi, head of Sony’s mobile division, said the new Xperia 1 V phone powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 has been more popular than expected.

Industry insiders believe that this means that Qualcomm has strengthened and consolidated customer relationships. In the next few years, regardless of the price, Sony phone products will be equipped with Qualcomm processors, reducing the chance of cooperation with other processor suppliers. Previously, the GeekBench database had exposed a new Sony phone model XQ-DS99, which was equipped with a Dimensity 8000 processor.

Qualcomm and Sony did not announce specific details of their cooperation. However, Japanese media Sumahodigest pointed out that Qualcomm has discussed processor customization services with Sony, and the cooperation between the two parties is expected to be extended to handheld game consoles. In addition, there is news that Qualcomm is expected to put some processors and peripheral chips into production at Sony’s 2nm fab Rapidus and the Kumamoto plant jointly owned by Sony and TSMC.

It is noticed that in recent years, the cooperation between Qualcomm and Sony has continued to deepen. The two will jointly establish a camera and vision laboratory in San Diego, California in 2021. In addition, the 5G NR mmWave laboratory opened by Qualcomm in Farnborough, UK was also the first to be used by Sony.

The chipmaker announced today in a new press release that it has extended its partnership with Sony to provide the Japanese company with the Snapdragon platform for future smartphones. It’s a “multi-year” agreement that covers premium, high-end, and mid-range equipment.

So there’s a good chance Sony will continue with its existing range, and since there’s no mention of “low end,” we don’t think it will expand into this competitive market.

Sony and Qualcomm’s “joint effort will focus on integrating Qualcomm Technologies’ advanced Snapdragon mobile platform into Sony’s future smartphone lineup, providing users with enhanced functionality, higher performance and more immersive experiences experience,” the release said.

Tsutomu Hamaguchi, Head of Sony Mobile Communications Business Unit, said:

The Xperia 1 V is Sony’s latest flagship smartphone powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 mobile platform and has been well received by customers. We look forward to continuing to work with Qualcomm Technologies to deliver premium and compelling experiences on future Snapdragon-powered smartphones. We’re always listening to our customers in order to develop cutting-edge technologies that meet and exceed their expectations, and we believe Qualcomm Technologies will help us continue to drive the industry forward.
