The UnboxingTN Verdict
out of 100
The Xperia 1 VII delivers flagship performance, versatile cameras and excellent connectivity, but its slow charging and merely adequate display hold it back.
What is good
- Snapdragon 8 Elite and 12GB RAM provide powerful performance.
- 52MP main camera, 3.5x optical telephoto, and 50MP ultrawide.
- Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, 5G, and USB-C 3.2.
What is not
- 30W wired charging is slow for a 5000mAh battery.
- 1080 × 2340 resolution and 1300-nit brightness limit display ambition.
- The 21:9, 6.5-inch format is less practical for everyone.
