The Sony Xperia 1 VII is ‘powered by Alpha’ and launching next week
We hope the Xperia 1 VII picks up where last year's phone left off.
- Sony has confirmed that its next Xperia 1 model is launching next week.
- The new phone is launching on May 13 in Japan.
- The phone, expected to be the Xperia 1 VII, is “powered by Alpha” camera technology.
The Sony Xperia 1 VI wasn’t the most popular flagship Android phone by any measure, but we still thought it was a fantastic release. Now, the company has confirmed that a new Xperia 1 model (expected to be the Xperia 1 VII) will be launched next week.
Sony posted a video on its Sony Xperia channel titled “The next ONE is coming.” The video confirms a May 13 launch date at 4:00 AM CEST (10:00 PM ET on May 12). It also gives us a quick look at what could be the new phone, featuring a similar rear camera design as the old model.
