Sony Xperia 1 VII Smartphone with Alpha-Like Camera Features
Sony has officially launched the Xperia 1 VII, a feature-packed flagship phone aimed squarely at mobile photography and videography enthusiasts, and it looks to be the closes thing to our beloved Sony Alpha cameras in the smartphone camera world. It brings serious upgrades, but if you're in the U.S., don’t get too excited just yet: Sony confirmed the Xperia 1 VII won’t be sold in the U.S. or Europe, only select Asian markets like Japan will get it at launch. If you're tempted, importing is an option, but be ready to sacrifice: U.S. carrier compatibility, official support and warranty.
