The handset measures 162mm in height, 74mm in width, and 8.2mm in thickness, and weighs 197 grams. It has an IPX8 rating for water and dust resistance.
Sony has equipped the Xperia 1 VII with a triple-camera setup at the rear, influenced by the company’s Alpha series. The configuration includes:
* A 48MP primary sensor using a 1/1.35-inch Exmor T sensor
* A 12MP telephoto lens
* A 48MP ultra-wide sensor using an Exmor RS lens
On the front, the device carries a 12MP selfie shooter.
The smartphone includes 256GB of internal storage, expandable up to 2TB through a microSD card. Connectivity options include Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 6.0, NFC, and a USB Type-C port. It also features an in-display fingerprint scanner.
