From PC Mag: Sony’s next flagship phone is official, but it's unclear if you’ll be able to buy one. Sony has yet to confirm or deny whether the phone will go on sale in the US; it's currently available to preorder in other markets, like Europe, Japan, and the UK.
The Xperia VII design is similar to its most recent flagship smartphones, with three color options: Moss Green, Orchid Purple, and Slate Black.
The phone is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset that we’ve seen in a lot of top-end phones across 2025. That’s paired with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. There isn't a higher storage option for the Xperia 1 VII, but you do get microSD support up to 2TB if you want some extra room.
Sony has relied on its other hardware divisions for the Xperia VII, including the Alpha brand for its camera tech and Bravia TV for the phone's display. For the first time, the brand also brought in the Walkman division to help with audio tuning.
