Sony Xperia 1 VII Renders Leak Ahead of May Launch – Familiar Design, Bigger Battery?
📸 Sony Xperia 1 VII CAD Renders Reveal Design – Minimal Changes, Sleek Aesthetic
The much-anticipated Sony Xperia 1 VII has surfaced again, this time through high-quality CAD renders shared by XpertPick in collaboration with OnLeaks. Following earlier leaks, these images give us our clearest look yet at Sony’s next flagship – which is expected to launch in May 2025.
📐 Sony Xperia 1 VII Design & Build: Familiar Look Confirmed in CAD Leak
If you were hoping for a bold redesign, you may need to lower your expectations. The Xperia 1 VII sticks closely to the tried-and-tested Sony aesthetic:
- Patterned glass back panel
- Flat metal side frame
- Minimalist camera bump
- Familiar button placement on the right side
In short, the overall design mirrors the Xperia 1 VI, reinforcing Sony’s commitment to consistency. But subtle changes are present under the hood.
📏 Xperia 1 VII CAD Renders Suggest Slightly Larger Frame – Bigger Battery Incoming?
The leak includes precise dimensions: 161.9 x 74.5 x 8.5mm, making the Xperia 1 VII slightly wider and thicker than its predecessor. While the display size remains at 6.5 inches, the slightly thicker bezels suggest internal improvements — perhaps a larger battery capacity.
This could address user feedback regarding battery life in previous Xperia models.
💵 Sony Xperia 1 VII Expected Launch Date and Price in 2025
According to earlier reports, Sony plans to unveil the Xperia 1 VII in May 2025, with an expected price tag of $1,399 USD. This places it in direct competition with premium flagship devices like the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra and the Poco F7 Ultra.

📌 Final Thoughts
The Sony Xperia 1 VII isn’t a radical departure — and that might be by design. Sony seems focused on refining its formula rather than reinventing it. The minor size bump could translate into better battery life, while the signature display and camera layout stay intact. If you’re already a fan of Sony’s minimalist design language, the Xperia 1 VII could be a worthy upgrade.
