Sony Xperia 1 VII will not help Sony grow out of its niche market position-Last week’s survey makes it clear that 4 1,400/€ 1,500 is very high for non-folding flagship, especially with only a 12GB of RAM and 256GB storage.
Mark offers a unique combination of 7 features, but as a commentator explains, many of them do not get expensive – microSD card slot and 3.5 mm headphone jack do not increase the cost of production. The same is the same for a flat display that has no mark or cartoon hole. To clarify, while some people really value these features, they do not justify the higher price tags than any folding flagship.
Sony Xperia 1 VII
Experia 1 VII has some valuable features. But people want Sony to spend their time and money upgrading to telephonic cameras, not ultra wide.
Extended Support Period – 4 OS Updates and two years of security patches – good, but it could have been longer, because at the end of it, you will have to spend more 4 1,400/€ 1,500 (or more!) To get the latest Xperia 1.
However, extended support can help Mark 7 in a long time. Many people in the comments have mentioned that they are happy with Mark 6’s hardware – but this will only give up 3 OS updates tomorrow and an extra year of security patches. This means that Mark 6 will get Android 17 as its last OS update and security patches will be dry in 2028. In the meantime, Mark 7 will end on Android 19 when the last security patches will come up at some point in 2031.
The Sony Xperia flagers keep their prices at a very high height, even after months of their launch – until the significant discount is available, the next generation has arrived or is exactly around the corner. This means that Xperia 1 VII may see the increase in interest in his life, but the initial sales will likely be limited to good helicopter fans of this brand.
If 28 % of voters who vote in favor of Mark 7 follow it and choose a unit (now or later), it can end a small success for Sony. But then, Mark 6 found similar results from the pool and it is rare to see one in the forest.
