Скачать или смотреть Sony's FINAL Phone? | Xperia 1 VII Review

Reviewing the Sony Xperia 1 VII (Mark 7), one of the most expensive smartphones of 2025 - and their last if you believe certain rumours. I've been testing the camera setup, battery life, gaming chops and more. So is the Sony Xperia 1 VII worth that sky high asking price? Well, in a word, no.

As usual there's plenty to love here. Sony's slab is the only flagship to offer expandable storage AND a headphone jack, plus front facing speakers. The Xperia 1 VII also boasts one of the best gaming modes, while DSLR fans will love that camera app.

However, there's not enough new bits in the Sony Xperia 1 VII to justify upgrading. The Snapdragon 8 Elite performance is great for gamers, but you can find this in smartphones half the price. Battery life is excellent, but again that isn't uncommon in 2025 flagships.

The Sony Xperia 1 VII mostly recycles camera hardware vs the Mark 6 and the new features aren't compelling enough. Of course, creators are well catered for as usual. Plus, the display tech etc has also been lifted from last year's phone.

So, if you're desperate for a Sony, I'd say grab a deal on the Mark 6.
