The Sony Xperia 1 VII is set to launch soon, and leaked images reveal a lot about the upcoming smartphone. While some key specifications are not confirmed, it is generally easy to infer potential features based on past models and recent leaks.
The official announcement is expected on Tuesday, but new information already provides a clear picture of what to expect. One noticeable change from the previous Xperia 1 VI model is the color options.
The Xperia 1 VII will be available in black, green, and purple, differing from its predecessor, which featured black, platinum silver, khaki green, and scarlet red. Although these color updates might not signify a major upgrade, enhancements are anticipated in the camera department.
The primary and secondary cameras are likely to maintain their 48 and 12-megapixel resolutions, while the third lens, designed for ultra-wide-angle shots, will see improvements that should enhance overall photography quality. Additionally, the display is rumored to retain the 6.5-inch size and potentially match the 4K resolution of the Xperia 1 V, instead of reverting to the lower 2340 x 1080 pixel count of the prior model.
Another confirmed specification is the inclusion of a 5,000mAh battery, which, according to Sony, should provide up to two days of use on a single charge. However, uncertainty remains regarding the Xperia 1 VII’s market availability, particularly in the US, and its pricing is yet to be announced.
Notable features such as a Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, 12GB RAM, 256GB and 512GB storage options, headphone jack, microSD card slot, and a side-mounted fingerprint scanner are expected but not officially confirmed. Overall, the Xperia 1 VII appears promising but may struggle to match the appeal of other leading Android devices in a competitive market.
