Exmor T-packed Sony Xperia 1 VII likelihood improves thanks to new rumor

There are always plenty of rumors circulating about the next iteration of the Xperia 1 line, and it is no different for the expected Sony Xperia 1 VII. While some of the information comes from spurious sources, details occasionally crop up from more trustworthy tipsters. This latest rumor comes from one of the best-known tech leakers, Digital Chat Station (DCS), who has been prolific in terms of sharing leaks over the years. However, there is one caveat to keep in mind about this relevant post from DCS, which will be discussed below.

Firstly, there is the post itself, which can be found on Threads and comes off the back of a follower asking Digital Chat Station to post some news about the Sony Xperia 1 VII. The leaker later stated “Sony Xperia 1 VII to get Exmor T for all cameras”, which is something we reported on back in February. With the Sony Xperia 1 VI (currently available on Amazon) “only” having one Exmor T sensor, this would be a significant upgrade to replace the remaining two Exmor RS units with Exmor T for mobile sensors. Users could expect improved night-time photographs with the Xperia 1 VII as Sony claims Exmor T is “2x better than [the] predecessor in low light”.

But, as mentioned above, there is that caveat. Digital Chat Station is known as a reliable source and has been cited in innumerous tech site articles. However, the leaker does not add anything specific to the information, such as sensor size or resolution, which begs the question where did DCS source this specific Sony Xperia 1 VII rumor? Does the tipster actually know that the Sony Xperia 1 VII will be coming with three Exmor T sensors, or have they just repeated the previous rumor from February that made its way around social media and numerous tech news sits but originated from a somewhat hit-and-miss source? Either way, at least DCS’s involvement lends some credibility to this potentially exciting rumor.
