Xperia 5 V sensor downgrade? Information that the IMX888 is “only” on the Xperia 1 V.

Sony Mobile’s latest flagship, the Xperia 1 V.

Speaking of selling this new model, the new generation of Exmor-T sensor, IMX888.

The sensor is said to be “brighter” than the one installed in the previous Xperia 1/5 series, and camera performance at night and in dark places is greatly improved.

However, this time I found some interesting information about the camera specifications of the “Xperia 5 V”, which is expected to be released in the fall as a smaller version of the Xperia 1 V.

As reported by a user on Reddit, from the writer of a well-known site:

Information from a well-known website writer:
This may be a misunderstanding, but we have received information that Xperia 1 V is the only smartphone with IMX888. If true, the Xperia 5 V may have a different main camera sensor.

may be misunderstanding,I got information that the smartphone equipped with IMX888 is “Xperia 1 V only”.If this is true,The Xperia 5 V could have another lowered main camera sensor.

The point is that the Xperia 5 V will not be equipped with the IMX888 of the Xperia 1 V and may rely on another downgraded sensor.

The Xperia 1 and Xperia 5 series cameras so far had differences such as the presence or absence of a ToF sensor and the presence or absence of a periscope telephoto camera, but they all have the same main camera sensor.

On the other hand, from the image of the Xperia 5 V, which seems to have been officially leaked the other day, it seems that the rear camera of the same model will be with dual specifications, and the telephoto camera is likely to be cut.

So, if this information is correct, the Xperia 1 V and Xperia 5 V will have different camera sensors (wide-angle) for the first time.

In this case, it is possible that the Xperia 5 V will not be equipped with an Exmor-T-labeled sensor, or that although it is associated with Exmor-T, it will be equipped with a reduced version of the IMX888.

As in the postThere is also the possibility of misinformation due to misunderstandings.So, I guess it’s best to hear the story in half, but I’m a little worried.
