The Sony Xperia 1 VII (released in May 2024) continues the Xperia story, blending a tall cinematic display and pro-level camera tech in a slim design. It’s only one generation old in 2025, so while not the absolute latest, its creative tools and smooth performance still hold up for those who want something a bit different from the usual flagship crowd. As ever, you get the signature Sony approach—not full of gimmicks, just focused on tools that matter to enthusiasts.
