Sony announced its new flagship quite recently. The name of the phone is the Sony Xperia 1 VII, and it actually offers the same size as its predecessor. We’re talking about the footprint of its shell, its dimensions.
The Sony Xperia 1 VII has the same size/footprint as its predecessor, the exact same
The device is 162mm tall, 74mm wide, and 8.2mm thick. Those are the exact same measurements as the Sony Xperia 1 VI. That is also not surprising as Sony decided to stick with the same design, for the most part.
The weight, on the other hand, did change, but only slightly. The Xperia 1 VII weighs 197 grams, while its predecessor weighs 192 grams. A 5-gram difference is not something you’ll actually notice when you’re holding the device.
The camera setup on the back of the Xperia 1 VII is a bit larger, but other than that, it’s difficult to see any immediate differences between the two phones. They look like Sony phones, unapologetically.
Sony is sticking with its design language
Why do we say that? Well, Sony has had a specific design language for a long time now.
