The stereo speakers have also received a bass boost for improved sound quality.The Xperia 1 VII is equipped with a 5000 mAh battery and offers 512 GB of internal storage, paired with 12 GB of RAM. The display technology includes adaptive brightness that adjusts based on light sensors on both the front and back of the device. The device supports Wi-Fi 7 connectivity, ensuring faster and more stable internet performance for streaming and gaming. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5][6]
