The Sony Xperia 1 VII does not come in a 1TB storage option. Sony has announced 256GB and 512GB storage options for the phone. Not even the Japanese variant of the phone doesn’t

Sony's Xperia 1 VII is a $1,700 niche flagship built for camera nerds and audiophiles—not mainstream users. Here's who it's really for.

It's not just the video camera that's been given the AI treatment. Sony says the phone has its "best sound quality to date" thanks to AI-based algorithms that actively upscale compressed, streamed music to make it sound as good as it can. Sony has even equipped the phone with a wired headphone jack to keep audiophiles happy.
