Sony’s next flagship phone, the Xperia 1 VII, has quietly appeared on Geekbench just weeks after its real-life images leaked online. The Geekbench entry is for a device with the model number XQ-FS54.
Although the listing doesn’t specify the device name, the model code aligns with Sony’s naming format for European units. So this likely is a European variant of the Xperia 1 VII.

It shows the device is running on a new Qualcomm chipset, which isn’t named outright but is paired with an Adreno 830 GPU and a CPU clocked at up to 4.32GHz. The combination makes it fairly easy to guess. It’s Qualcomm’s top-tier Snapdragon 8 Elite, as previously rumored for the Xperia 1 VII.
The listing also shows the phone has 12GB of RAM and is running Android 15. In benchmark scores, it managed 2,967 points in the single-core test and 9,017 in the multi-core run. Those are in line with what you’d expect from the latest Snapdragon platform, but the scores themselves don’t say much beyond confirming the hardware is being actively tested.
The leaked renders and hands-on images of the handheld show that Sony isn’t straying far from its established design language. The phone keeps its signature tall form factor, reportedly measuring 161.9 x 74.5 x 8.5mm, or 11mm at the thickest point, due to the camera bump.
It features a flat frame with all buttons—power, volume, and a dedicated shutter—on the right side, while the left remains bare.
The Xperia 1 VII retains some hardware features most flagship phones have ditched, like a 3.5mm headphone jack and a microSD/SIM slot at the bottom. It also features dual front-facing speakers, a USB-C port, and a vertical rear camera layout with three sensors.
The main is said to be a 48MP camera with OIS, a 12MP ultra-wide, and a 12MP periscope telephoto lens offering variable zoom between 70mm and 200mm.
Sony hasn’t confirmed a launch date for its next flagship just yet. But as the real-world images and benchmark results are now out in the wild, an official announcement probably isn’t far off.
