Sony Xperia 1 VII review

The Sony Xperia 1 VII runs Android 15, with a promise for 4 OS version releases and 6 years of ongoing security fixes
Damn, this is truly great phone now with that extended security promise. It was always the major thing holding back Sony's flagships, but they've addressed it without compromising on some of the things that make their phones unique (headphone jack, microSD expansion, side-mounted fingerprint reader, dedicated two stage camera button, etc).

Gotta love the sony hardware. It would be the perfect phone for me if - and thats a big if - i had the money to throw 1500€ at a phone. But yeah, SD-card slot, dual front speakers, headphone jack, sick camera setup, no punchholes, no stupid 4k screen anymore and now even with acceptable software support. I think they also still have unlockable bootloaders and the camera wouldnt be crippled by it anymore like 10 years ago? But 1,5k... nah, i'm good.

Just get one refurbished. You can usually get the latest a couple months later for 8-900

True, but thats still double to triple what i'm willing to pay for a phone. 8-900 is fair for the provided hardware though.

What's the issue with a 4k screen? I love my 4k phone, lower dpi displays just look plain worse and pixelated to me.
Especially for reading it's a game-changer, it made my eink reader redundant for me.

Finally decent software support which is nice to see. But for the price, Sony really should have updated the old, old, telephoto and also added a discrete DAC for audio. Still good battery life but not amazing like the VI

I love Sony's hardware, though I wish they still made the compact model. I bought two different phones in the last gen that claimed to be unlocked, but ended up being locked to AT&T and I had to refund them. Even if this came to the US I'd probably not be willing to risk it again.

Let me unlock the bootloader and ship it to the States and I'm in.
