No big deal.

I just saw the phonearena review for the VII camera. they think it is terrible.

it baffles me that all the big review sites always give sony phone cameras such bad reviews.

are we really missing out? are we so biased cause we're sony fans? or are they the biased (paid) ones?

They are not nicknamed "iphonearena" for nothing.

Here are some of their content titles. It seems biased and misleading / false information and its like they are trying to tarnish Sony / bring their company down.

The Sony Xperia 1 VII has a unique feature, it's a shame that it's bad

These are improvements compared to 1vi. Improvements throughout I can see less battery life which I suspect its because of the additional sensor behind and made display brighter/ more accurate.

Got a mail this morning that my preorder has arrived to Buyee Warehouse and now I just have to select shipping method and pay shipping cost. Will do it later today.

I found 1 VII 16GB/512GB on Amazon Japan, but they cannot ship to my delivery location in Sweden.
The only color to choose for 16GB/512GB is orchid purple.
If you want a black or green, it´s 12GB/512GB or 12GB/256GB.

In recent years there has been a media campaign denigrating the smartphone sector of Sony. On every technology site I have heard bad things about the brand and its devices: unfortunately from people who had almost never tried the smartphones of the Japanese brand. Sony has always stood out for its unique vision, now it is giving in a bit to the various criticisms made by users of other brands, who not being accustomed to niche technology, are dragging the brand, alas, towards a blanding...

what do they say about customs fees? I don't think they depend on them, but on the country of arrival. With wondamobile I was lucky not to have to pay them, honestly I expected them as always.
