Sony has confirmed its next Xperia product launch will take place on May 13, 2025, where it is expected to unveil the Xperia 1 VII.
The phone will run on the Snapdragon 8 Gen Elite Mobile Platform, as confirmed by Sony earlier this year. A Geekbench listing (model number XQ-FS54) shows the device will come with 12GB of RAM and Android 15. The same model was recently certified by the US FCC, which listed its dimensions as 162 x 74.5 x 8.5mm. It will retain a 5000mAh battery (4850mAh minimum), matching its predecessor.
The display is expected to be a 6.5-inch 4K OLED, similar to past Xperia 1 models. Camera specs include a 48MP main sensor with OIS, a 12MP ultra-wide lens, a 12MP periscope telephoto (70–200mm variable zoom), and a 12MP front camera. The Xperia launch event will start at 11 AM JST (7:30 AM IST) and will be streamed live.
From previous leaks, the Xperia 1 VII keeps Sony’s signature tall design with a flat frame. The right side houses the power, volume, and shutter buttons, while the left side is clean. The phone retains features most flagships have dropped, including a 3.5mm headphone jack, microSD card slot, and dual front-facing speakers. It also has a USB-C port and a triple-camera array vertically stacked on the back.
Benchmark results for the Xperia 1 VII include a 2,967 single-core and 9,017 multi-core score, consistent with Snapdragon 8 Gen Elite performance. Reports suggest that the global launch may take place a few months after the initial release.
