Product details

Function and beauty. The new, sturdy frame and the functional, textured glass on the back feel good and secure in the hand and are more resistant to fingerprints. The raised camera area draws even more attention to the powerful camera – the ultimate expression of beauty with function. Colors full of personality. The Xperia 1 VII is available in a range of colors that harmoniously complement the textured glass finish. Enhanced camera design. The premium metal camera features three pill-shaped lenses. Textures and colors seamlessly integrate with the body colors while conveying the professionalism of a dedicated camera. Photo and video trigger. A larger trigger makes capturing photos easier and activates a focus lock when half-pressed, similar to dedicated cameras. It starts the camera quickly without needing to unlock the smartphone or touch the screen. Improved sound quality with wired headphones. The Xperia 1 VII includes a premium audio circuit for rich and immersive sound. Each note sounds crystal clear for a harmonious listening experience. AI camera guidance for videos with stable framing at a professional level. With AI camera guidance, your subject stays in focus at all times. For more reliable focus, pose estimation anticipates human movements. At the same time, enhanced stabilization ensures smooth and compelling shots. The new subject position lock maintains the subject's position in the frame even while walking, allowing you to achieve truly professional results.

Sony remains true to its line and is clearly targeting the Xperia 1 VII at photo enthusiasts. Three cameras - wide-angle, ultra-wide-angle and a real variable telephoto zoom - form the centrepiece. The zoom in particular, which enables focal lengths of up to 170 mm, is a highlight...

  • NegativeAverage camera performance

Sony's current flagship takes a classic approach and offers a headphone jack, front-facing speakers, an almost unchanged Android and expandable memory. In my opinion, these are clear plus points. However, the extremely high price and the mediocre cameras detract from the smartphone's appeal.
