Sony has taken the wraps off its latest flagship Xperia phone, in the form of the Xperia 1 VII, which looks a heck of a lot like an Xperia 1 VI but brings some welcome technical improvements. Above all, it looks like it will cement the excellent battery life enjoyed by its predecessor.
The new phone should now last for two days of regular use, according to Sony, with the 1 VI having already stretched nearly that far if you were careful. That isn't the result of some huge design change to bring in a bigger battery, though – it's still 5,000mAh, but the phone is just a bit more efficient this time around, with a Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset at its heart.
