Sony billboard accidentally leaks Xperia 1 V's 'next-gen' camera and official design

A billboard showcases the Xperia 1 V ahead of launch.

Accidental product leaks by brands are usually minor slip-ups that are only spotted by chance, such as a premature store listing that’s quickly taken down. But Sony has leaked its upcoming flagship Xperia 1 V phone in style – by posting a massive billboard featuring the device on the side of a building.

The billboard (see above) was spotted in Hong Kong before being taken down, but not before photos appeared on Reddit  and Twitter, and they show a handset that’s pretty much identical to what we’ve seen in leaks.
