Had Sony smartphones for years. Loved them. The real issue with Sony nowadays is imho their terrible update policy which only offers two or three years if updates iirc, which is so much less than other players it was a dealbreaker for me. Last time I had one I could flash a custom rom but the camera was locked to the original firmware, with the default mode being much worse than the one Sony offered - which I considered a dick move. Dunno how they behave with their current phones though.
Just checked, the phone will supposedly be updated until 2031, which isn't bad. Battery, camera, display all seem to be fine.
They have improved the update policy. So, newer phones get more updates compared to before. The VII gets 4OS, and 6yrs security updates.
