Sony’s upcoming flagship, the Xperia 1 VII, just broke cover in one of the biggest leaks of the year. This new device doesn’t just tweak last year’s formula — it reinvents it. Leaked renders and feature details show that Sony is preparing to go all-in with a premium design, advanced imaging technology, and next-gen display innovations.
Sony plans to offer the Xperia 1 VII in three bold colors: Black, Forest Green, and Purple. Each variant will showcase a flat-edged frame and sharpened corners, departing from previous curves. The front panel boasts a flat 6.5-inch OLED display, rumored to support 4K resolution and 120Hz refresh rate, making it a dream for multimedia lovers and gamers alike.
On the back, Sony equips the Xperia 1 VII with a triple-lens camera system, carrying its legendary Alpha series camera technology. The cameras will likely include a periscope zoom lens, an ultra-wide, and a main sensor with larger pixels for low-light photography. If accurate, this setup could place the Xperia 1 VII at the top tier of mobile photography — a direct challenge to Samsung and Apple.
One standout upgrade is the new Zeiss T anti-reflective coating* applied to the lens and screen. This reduces glare dramatically, especially in harsh daylight. Combined with the rumored AI-enhanced image processing, Sony seems determined to offer unmatched camera clarity and color accuracy.
Under the hood, the device may run on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, supported by 12GB or 16GB of RAM and 256GB or 512GB of internal storage. The 5,000 mAh battery is expected to support 65W fast charging, promising over two days of real-world usage for the average user.
Sony hasn’t confirmed the leak, but multiple sources suggest the Xperia 1 VII will be officially announced on May 13, 2025. With this phone, Sony clearly wants to reclaim its legacy in the premium Android space, after years of niche appeal.
