Sony is preparing to launch the Xperia 1 V globally soon, having scheduled a global showcase on May 11. However, numerous details about the flagship's cameras may have leaked online, detailing Sony's new Exmor T sensor.https://www.notebookcheck.net/Sony-Xperia-1-V-Alleged-promotional-images-showcase-camera-specifications-before-global-reveal.716557.0.html
Leaks also says 10 V will have same SD695 SoC as on 10 IV, but yeah after 2021 there has been only one option for SD6x series, SD 6 Gen 1 which is made by Samsung 5nm, hotter and power hungry which sounds bad overall.
So yeah, maybe not SoC update this time. But hopefully something more interesting for it on xperia 10 series, which haven't seen yet.
