Sony Xperia 1 VII gets disassembled on video
The Xperia 1 VII has that quintessentially Sony design that's unmistakable and very different from any of its competitors'. That said, it's not exactly identical to its predecessor, with a variety of small details having been tweaked. Sony isn't willing to let go of its unique design, but is constantly working on improving it.
As in most cases, the disassembly starts from the rear panel. As a first, the Xperia 1 VII has two ambient light sensors, one of which is on the rear. This should make auto-brightness better react to changes in ambient lighting that are happening behind the phone.
The RAM is provided by Samsung, the storage by Hynix, and the big new ultrawide camera is clearly different from its predecessor. The speakers and vibration motor seem to be very similar to those in the Xperia 1 VI, and the mic hole has an L-shaped design to avoid being destroyed by accidental use of a SIM removal tool - even though, ironically, the Xperia 1 VII doesn't need one as it features Sony's trademark tool-less SIM tray. The battery is not only identical in capacity to the Xperia 1 VI's, it's actually the exact same model. The screen is made by Samsung.
