The Sony Xperia 10 VII is a midrange smartphone unveiled by Sony on September 12, 2025. It was revealed almost 4 months after the flagship, the Sony Xperia 1 VII. It features a new redesigned horizontal bar-like rear camera design, a departure from the vertical upper left camera layout of the Xperia 10 VI, and a 6.1-inch LTPS FHD+ OLED screen, now with 120 Hz high refresh rate support with a 19.5:9 aspect ratio instead of its predecessor's 21:9 aspect ratio, powered by the Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 chipset, a newer version of the Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 of its predecessor. The phone includes a 3.5mm headphone jack and supports expandable storage via a microSD card slot.[1]
Hardware
Camera
Sony Xperia 10 VII brings notable improvement for its rear camera, where both the main camera and ultrawide lens got sensor upgrades, where the main camera upgraded to a bigger, better 50 MP 1/1.56" IMX766 sensor with OIS from the 48 MP 1/2.0" IMX582 sensor with OIS of 10 VI, and the ultrawide received 13 MP 1/3.06" Smartsens SC1320 from its predecessor's 8 MP ultrawide 1/4.0" sensor. The selfie camera resolution was carried over from its predecessor, the Xperia 10 VI, albeit from a different manufacturer (Smartsens SC820 instead of Hynix HI846).[2][3] Sony Xperia 10 VII marks the return of the dedicated shutter button in the Sony mid-range lineup since the Sony Xperia XA2 series, albeit without the two-step mechanism of its flagship Xperia 1 series or XA series of the past.

Software
Xperia 10 VII comes with Android 15, with up to 4 major Android upgrades and 6 years of security updates promised, up from 3 major Android upgrades and 4 years of security patches of its predecessor. It received the Android 16 update in November 2025.[5] It will receive the upcoming Android 17 update alongside the Xperia 10 VIII, 1 VI, 1 VII, and 1 VIII with a new wallpaper and style features, updated quick settings panel toggles, and the new screen recording feature.
