Sony teases Xperia 1 VII's Walkman capabilities
Sony is all set to introduce its next Xperia flagship – the Xperia 1 VII next week and the teasers keep coming. The latest one focuses on the Xperia 1 VII’s audio prowess.
The video showcases that the Xperia 1 VII will be powered by Walkman which should indicate some sort of audio improvements. The device will also retain the 3.5mm headphone jack, making it one of the only flagships to do so in 2025.
Sony previously posted a teaser for the Xperia 1 VII’s cameras which are “powered by Alpha” – Sony’s imaging division. Xperia 1 VII is expected to look just like its predecessor, but it will be a bit shorter and wider.
The new phone is expected to launch with the Snapdragon 8 Gen Elite chipset alongside updated cameras and Android 15 out of the box.

I would buy it if it were available in the U.S. and affordable. It has the features I want in a phone. I can obviously understand why they aren't selling it here. It's too too expensive for me but does anyone here know if an imported mode...

This was about the 4K screen. Not about the in-built DAC or anything, which actually has a purpose.

Good for Sony, i Like the specs, but I'd rather have a 16:9 waklman with smartphone capabilities (fiio for example) than a long remote controller.
