The Exmor T sensors could reduce noise in low-light shots and improve dynamic range. Last year’s Xperia 1 VI did little to improve the rear camera situation from the previous year. The hardware was largely identical to the Xperia V, but with some quality-of-life improvements. But a new rumor suggests
