Xperia 10 VII could follow the Xperia 1 VII Receive the latest mobile news Subscribe By subscribing you agree to our terms and conditions and privacy policy Xperia 5 series remains absent for a second year What might be a more noteworthy piece of news, however, is revealed by the lack of any Xperia 5 VII mentions. Traditionally, the Xperia 5 line has served as the company's smaller alternative to the Xperia 1 series, with similar camera tech and chip performance but in a more compact form factor. But at this point, we might be looking at a second consecutive generation without the smaller Sony flagship. Uncertain future for U.S. and other global markets The new mid-ranger was spotted in a database listing with model numbers ranging from PM-1510-BV to PM-1515-BV, and carries the internal code name XQ-FE44. Based on this timing, the device could arrive later this year, possibly sometime in new information follows the recent global launch of the Xperia 1 VII , Sony's current flagship for the year. So far, it's the only Xperia phone Sony has officially released in 2025. The emergence of a second model aligns with Sony's tradition of offering a more affordable Xperia 10 variant later in the technical specifications have leaked yet, but the Xperia 10 series typically aims at the mid-range segment, offering lightweight designs, long battery life, and 5G connectivity in a more accessible package. Last year's Xperia 10 VI featured a 5,000mAh battery, Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 processor, and a 6.1-inch OLED display — specs we may see lightly upgraded this lack of new Xperia 5 seems to support speculations that Sony has abandoned this segment in favor of focusing on larger flagship phones and mid-range devices. Although, it might even be that Sony is slowly abandoning the smartphone market altogether The new Xperia 1 VII has yet to launch in North America, raising questions about Sony's commitment to that market. If this is any indication of the company's broader strategy, the upcoming Xperia 10 VII may follow a similar path of remaining limited to Asia and Europe, at least now, it seems the only Sony phones we'll see in 2025 are the Xperia 1 VII and the Xperia 10 VII. Hopefully, the latter performs better in its category than the flagship has in its own.

Sony Xperia 10 VII Leak Reveals 120 Hz OLED Display, Snapdragon 6 Gen 4, 50 MP Camera
A new report has details of Sony's upcoming midrange smartphone, the Xperia 10 VII, ahead of its official launch. According to information from Sumaho Digest, the Xperia 10 VII will have a 6.1-inch FHD+ OLED display, keeping the same size as previous models. The phone stays small, at least by modern standards, which is a big win for many. The report says the phone will likely get a 120 Hz refresh rate, a first for the Xperia 10 series. Sony will keep the device's 21:9 aspect ratio, which goes well with the company's approach to media consumption and multitasking. This phone is set to have the Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 chipset, replacing the Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 found in last year's model. This new processor is about 10–15% more powerful on the CPU side, as reported by NotebookCheck. The phone is to have 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of internal storage, with support for microSD. For cameras, the Xperia 10 VII is to have a 50MP main sensor and an 8MP secondary rear camera. The front camera remains at 8MP. The phone is to have a dedicated physical shutter button. The battery capacity is to stay at 5,000 mAh. The phone will run Android 15 out of the box and have a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, NFC, dual SIM support, and USB Type-C connectivity. Launch details are not confirmed, but the launch date is rumored to be May 15, 2025. Availability in North America remains uncertain.
