A lot to love about the phone tbh. 3,5mm jack, front facing stereo speakers, 120hz, alright cameras, 168g, smallish formfactor, sd card support. But 450β¬ for an entrylevel chipset with 8/128 and only acceptable support timeline is just rough. I'm aware that inflation is a thing, chip manufacturing got more expensive, us tariffs somehow affect the rest of the world and longer software support needs to be paid somehow. But that shitty chipset will perform worse than my phone i got 4 years ago for like 320β¬. Meh.

Yeah but they make no money off the store, unlike say Apple or Google
Typical Sony pricing. They always shoot themselves in the feet with it.
Even the pricing would be ok for me because I just like their designs (and the headphone jack).
But in this price range I would definitly expect a longer term software support.
Only 2-3 years as they delivered in the past is completely unacceptable.
The Xperia 10 VII will receive four major OS updates and up to six years of security patches.
Wow, that's new!
Great to hear!
Result of the recent EU regulotions?
I believe so. They upped the support to 4 years with the Xperia 1 VI last year, and increased it to 6 this year with the Xperia 1 VII. Many other companies have started improving their commitments within the last year, too.
As someone else pointed out, this one will get four major OS updates and up to six years of security patches.
I might consider it for 300β¬ for the jack alone, I already have a G84 as an "audio phone" when I want to listen to podcasts or movies
4 mm wider than the 10V. :(
This model series used to be the only decent option for a narrow mid-range phone. Not much separates it from the competition aside from the 3.5mm jack, now. What a shame.
I'm liking this move to horizontal camera arrangement. We've been plagued by lopsided stupid bumps.
Indeed, started with Pixel ??. The Flold.7 is a fusking shocker.
