Back in May 2025, Sony unveiled the Xperia 1 VII, but there was no price tag yet. The phone was supposed to launch in Malaysia during mid-July, and that didn't happen until today. It was silently launched on Sony Malaysia's official website here, at the price of RM6499.

Sony has reportedly made a major decision in its smartphone production strategy. Starting with its latest flagship model, the Xperia 1 VII, production of Xperia devices might no longer be done at Sony's factories. Instead, all models will be produced by external manufacturers (OEMs). So, what should you know about it?

Today, Sony gave a surprise announcement of the Xperia 1 VII. It is scheduled to launch in Malaysia in mid-July 2025, but no official price has been revealed yet. Anyway, here is everything you need to know about the new Xperia 1 VII.
