The Sony Xperia 1 VII is a capable handset that can't quite match some rivals, while coming in at a higher price.

Sony demands big bucks for its latest Xperia flagship, without really justifying why

    Headphone jack, no notch, no camera hole, SD Card slot… I am intrigued.

    The price is an issue, for sure. Maybe after some time has gone by.

      They have been for years. I had a 2016 Sony that definitely wasn’t a good value on paper. I accepted that because it was small.

      You really want pixels indecipherable to the human eye on a format that your eyes can even take advantage of? Baffling.

      I have this phone and it’s the best phone I’ve ever used. The previous generation had 4K resolution and it turned out no one could tell the difference and the panels are way higher power usage. The battery that used to power the 4k now lasts for literally 3 days of constant powered on, full use. It’s the longest lasting battery in a phone in the world. No phone lasts longer without a charge.

      So many other features have exceeded my expectations. I no longer carry a 3rd party DAC to use for the AUX cord headphones. It sounds incredible and STILL USES AUX. In this era of forced Bluetooth headphones it’s a god damn unicorn.

      You’re mad about specs that are absolutely meaningless in reality.

        You forgot Oneplus 15 with its 7300mah battery. It has nearly twice the endurance of this sony smartphone.
