Product details

Function and beauty. The robust frame and the functional, non-slip glass on the back feel good and secure in the hand and are more resistant to fingerprints. The raised camera area draws the eye even more to the powerful camera - the ultimate expression of beauty with function. Colours full of personality. The Xperia 1 VII is available in a range of colours that harmonise beautifully with the grippy glass texture. Improved camera design. The premium metal camera includes three tablet-style lenses. Textures and colours blend seamlessly with the body colours while conveying the professionalism of a dedicated camera. Photo and video shutter release. A larger shutter button makes shooting easier and, when pressed halfway down, activates a focus lock like on dedicated cameras. It launches the camera quickly without having to unlock the smartphone or touch the screen. Improved sound quality with wired headphones. The Xperia 1 VII includes premium audio circuitry for detailed, room-filling sound. Every note sounds crystal clear for a harmonious listening experience. AI Camera Guidance for pro-level video with stable framing. With AI camera guidance, your subject always remains in focus. For a more reliable focus, pose estimation anticipates human movements. At the same time, the improved stabilisation ensures consistent and convincing shots. Subject position lock maintains the subject's position in the frame, even when shooting on the move, for 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.
