Sony Xperia 1 VII: Sony is all set to launch its next flagship phone along with its next premium headphones. Before the company made the official announcement, new renders of the phone have been leaked online, providing a clear idea of what the design and colour options look like. Besides this, the launch date for the next-generation Sony headphones has also been officially announced.

Sony Xperia 1 VII Design and Colour Options

The Sony Xperia 1 VII, which is rumored to launch as the successor to the Xperia 1 VI, has been seen in leaked images showing its exterior. According to the leak, the phone will come in Black, Green, and Purple colors. Design-wise, it continues the traditional tall display aesthetic with a selfie camera placed in the top bezel.

The back of the phone is dominated by a vertically stacked triple camera arrangement towards the top left, flanked by a dual LED flash. The main camera and the ultrawide lenses are towards the top of this module, followed by the LED flash and the periscope telephoto lens. The volume rocker and the power button, the latter also acting as a fingerprint scanner, are on the right-hand side of the phone.

Sony WH-1000XM6 Release Date

In addition to the Xperia 1 VII smartphone, Sony has also announced the launch of its new WH-1000XM6 headphones. The launch is planned for May 15 at 9am PDT (9:30pm IST). While Sony hasn’t provided detailed specifications or design images yet, leaks suggest that the headphones might include a Sony QN3 processor. The new chip is claimed to enhance both audio quality and active noise cancellation.

What to Look Out for during the Launch Event

Sony’s May 13 and May 15 launch events will probably receive interest from technology enthusiasts across the globe. Though the Xperia 1 VII is likely to uphold Sony’s flagship smartphone tradition, the WH-1000XM6 could feature significant improvements in noise cancellation and audio quality.
