Sony Xperia 1 VII runs Geekbench, confirming its chipset, RAM amount, and Android version

Sony's Xperia 1 VII is coming soon - that's pretty much a given considering the fact that its predecessor launched in May 2024, but it's also obvious from the fact that we've seen it in CAD renders and then live certification images already in April.

And a prototype Xperia 1 VII also seems to have run Geekbench. Thus, its chipset, RAM amount, and Android version have been revealed in the benchmark's online database.

It's not surprising at all to see it being powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite, as Sony always went with the latest top of the line Snapdragon. The SoC is paired with 12GB of RAM, and again unsurprisingly, the phone will launch running Android 15.

That's all the information revealed through the benchmark. The previously leaked CAD-based renders showed a design that's practically indistinguishable from its predecessor's, signifying the fact that Sony is still adamantly going forward with its very unique design language.

The Xperia 1 VII allegedly measures 161.9 x 74.5 x 8.5mm, which means it's ever so slightly shorter, wider, and thicker than the 1 VI, but by very minute amounts. Screen size is rumored to stay the same at 6.5".
