Contrary to previous reports, Sony will release another phone this year, at least according to a European retailer. While the information doesn't come directly from Sony, it's likely that the Xperia 5 VI will be released this year.

German online retailer Alza has a Spigen Rugged Armor case for the Xperia 5 VI listed on its website. The case costs €16.90, but it's not yet available for purchase, which makes sense considering the fact that Sony hasn't announced the smartphone.
Despite the phone being inside the case, some details remain visible. For example, while the camera configuration remains the same, the LED flash is located between the two cameras, while the Xperia 5 V's LED flash is positioned slightly to the left.
Apart from that, the Xperia 5 V and Xperia 5 VI don't differ that much in terms of design. We can't confirm that the upcoming phone is the same size as the Xperia 5 V, but since there don't seem to be any major changes, there's a good chance that the phones will be pretty similar.

Sony hasn't made any mention of the Xperia 5 VI yet, but based on previous history, the phone will be unveiled in September. Considering that the Xperia 5 V was a significant improvement over the previous model, we expect the same to be true of the Xperia 5 VI.
That said, the Xperia 5 VI is likely to be equipped with Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and a 6.1-inch OLED with Corning Gorilla Glass.
The Xperia 5 V features a dual camera setup consisting of a 48-megapixel main sensor and a 12-megapixel ultra-wide sensor. Thanks to images shared by the German seller, we now know that the Xperia 5 VI will also feature a dual camera, but there are no other details at this time.
Finally, the battery size may remain the same, as both the Xperia 5 IV and Xperia 5 V feature 5,000 mAh.
