Sony has launched the Xperia 1 VII smartphone and has brought a whole series of hardware and software updates for the company-oriented flagship of the company.
The Japanese tech giant wants to emphasize the inclusion of technologies of its various technology brands in the new phone, in particular Alfa brand photography tools, Bravia Display Tech and Walkman-Merkaudio.
It is good to know that Sony has thrown the full weight of his technical talent on the Xperia 1 VII, especially since the phone is not cheaper than its predecessors – for £ 1,399 it is one of the most expensive flagships on the market.
In addition to wearing the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, 12 GB RAM and 256 GB storage, the main functions of the telephone include a new ultra-wide camera, improved headphone connection and improved display calibration.
Sony has given the Xperia 1 VII a new 48MP Ultra-wide camera with a sensor of 1/1.56-inch, an increase of a 12MP 1/2.5-inch camera on the previous generation Xperia 1 VI.
On the official Xperia 1 VII product page, Sony states that the new Ultra-wide camera “Clear Night Shots can reach that are equivalent to full-frame cameras”, and although a larger sensor should increase the performance with little light, this claim seems dubious considering that full frame is more than twice the size of the Xperia.
This new ultra -ice is next to two cameras that have been transferred from last year Xperia 1 VI -A 48MP main camera and 12MP telephone camera with continuous 3.5x-7.1x Telefoto Zoom. The camera system is controlled by a special shutter button with a half press focus, the same as earlier iterations.
As mentioned, the Xperia 1 VII is one of the few telephones on the market that still has a headphone connection – an elegant characteristic for a more civilized age. The phone has inherited components of Sony’s line from Walkman Media Players to improve the wired audio quality, while AI-Intenschelde DSee Ultimate Processing can add clarity to compressed Audiostreams.
And in collaboration with Sony Bravia, a light sensor at the back of the phone has been added to help with brightness and color calibration in indoor and outdoor conditions.
Even greater steps have been taken on the software side – the Xperia 1 VII is the launchpad for Xperia Intelligence, a series of tasteful subtle AI tools that are centered around photography and filmmaking.
For example, the AI camera work tool helps keep video images stable, while the AI Auto Framing tool holds a human subject in the middle of the recording. That Auto Framing Tool also enables users to film a second vertical close-up video of the aforementioned subject while filming a wider horizontal recording.
The phone is also supplied with Google Gemini installed, with access to tools such as Circle to search.
The Sony Xperia 1 VII is now in three colors from-mos green, slate black and the striking orchid purple option. It is probably at the top of our list of the Best Sony -PhonesBut let us know if you think this £ 1,399 -hand set is worth its high price in the comments below.
