Sony confirms Xperia 1 VII’s return to Europe
About a month ago, Sony initiated a replacement program for its Xperia 1 VII due to some units experiencing random reboots, shutdowns and inability to power on. As a result, Xperia 1 VII sales in Europe were put on hold, but Sony has now confirmed that its flagship is returning to eligible markets from August 25.
After conducting an investigation into the matter, Sony clarified that some Xperia 1 VII units were affected by a faulty circuit board and offered a free replacement program for affected users. Sony changed its manufacturing process to prevent future units from the aforementioned issues and proactively contacted customers who purchased their devices directly from the brand’s official channels.

My main phone is iphone which I always have. I bought Sony because I wanted a good android as second device with dual sim capabilities. Hence Sony.

If they went back to the 21:9 screen and gave it a removable battery with seven years of updates, I'd buy one.
