Sony has officially introduced its latest flagship smartphone, the Xperia 1 VII, a powerful new device that blends Sony’s top-tier technology from its renowned Alpha digital cameras, Walkman audio players and BRAVIA televisions. Engineered with cutting-edge innovations and infused with ‘Xperia Intelligence’, this smartphone promises a deeply immersive experience in photography, audio, and visual entertainment like never before.
Bringing a whole new level of ease to video recording, Xperia 1 VII debuts two standout features: ‘AI Camerawork’ and ‘Auto Framing’. With these, users can effortlessly capture smooth, stable videos even without watching the screen. Thanks to advanced image stabilization and posture estimation, Xperia 1 VII keeps subjects perfectly framed even while you’re moving. Auto Framing, meanwhile, intelligently crops and centers your subject, ensuring cinematic shots with minimal effort. Whether you’re chasing your pet in the park or filming your kids at play, the Xperia 1 VII has you covered.
The device is equipped with an upgraded triple-camera system, featuring a new 16mm ultra wide-angle lens with a larger 48MP 1/1.56-inch sensor. This sensor captures vivid low-light images with minimal noise and impressive dynamic range, rivalling full-frame cameras. Whether you’re snapping macro shots as close as 5cm or capturing stunning nightscapes, clarity and sharpness remain exceptional. The 24mm and 48mm wide-angle options, paired with an enhanced Exmor T sensor, ensure beautiful results even when zooming in or cropping. For distance photography, the 85mm–170mm telephoto lens delivers crisp, high-resolution imagery every time.
For audiophiles, Xperia 1 VII inherits the sonic brilliance of Sony’s iconic Walkman series. Designed with refined circuitry and premium components, this phone delivers exceptional audio clarity through both wired and wireless connections. Featuring Sony’s DSEE Ultimate technology, even compressed music streams sound richly detailed and immersive. Meanwhile, Xperia’s signature full-stage stereo speakers have been fine-tuned to offer a more balanced and dynamic audio experience across all frequencies.
The Xperia 1 VII also enhances the visual experience with its BRAVIA-quality 4K OLED display. A newly added rear light sensor optimizes screen brightness and color depending on your environment, whether you’re out in bright daylight or lounging indoors. Coupled with improved peak brightness and ‘Sunlight Vision’ technology, outdoor viewing remains clear and comfortable.
Under the hood, the Xperia 1 VII is powered by the latest Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, with performance boosts of over 40% across the board for AI, gaming and multitasking. Power efficiency has also improved, offering up to two days of usage with features like “Processing Optimization” reducing battery drain during everyday use. Users can enjoy peace of mind knowing the device will receive four OS upgrades and six years of security updates, ensuring lasting performance.
Designed with inclusivity and sustainability in mind, Xperia 1 VII offers camera accessibility functions that assist users through vibrations and sound cues. The Android TalkBack feature has been customized by Sony to prioritize frequently used menu items, offering quicker access. Packaging is entirely plastic-free, with Sony’s Original Blended Material used for the box and tray. Inside, nearly 84% of selected components are made from recycled or plant-based materials, including SORPLAS, highlighting Sony’s continued commitment to the environment.
Completing the experience is the optional Style Cover with Stand (XQZ-CBFS), a sleek, matching accessory designed to complement the Xperia 1 VII. With both horizontal and vertical stand functionality, the cover adds grip, versatility, and a practical ring strap for stable filming. Available in three elegant shades to match the phone, the cover is also made with 78% sustainable resin, including SORPLAS.
The Xperia 1 VII will be available in Malaysia from mid-July 2025 in three colors: Slate Black, Moss Green, and Orchid Purple.
