Here's an official update on the Sony Xperia 1 VII problems
Now Sony UK has an update on the matter. The company says it's still investigating the cause of all these issues, and working on a solution for those affected. In European markets, it's currently in the process of "identifying the extent of the affected stock, as this issue may only affect a select batch of Xperia 1 VII devices".
The page linked as the Source below will be updated with further information and guidance as soon as Sony has more details on how to support its European customers. In the meantime, the company recommends backing up any important data on your expensive shiny new Xperia 1 VII, so that it doesn't get lost if the device starts acting up.
Sony also mentions the workaround of pressing and holding the power button and volume up button simultaneously for about 20 seconds, which may wake up the phone from even a deeper sleep. The company advises you to additionally make sure you have the latest software update installed, though like we said last time, if it's still investigating the cause(s) of these issues, it's highly unlikely that this would actually help. Still, doesn't hurt to try, while we all wait for the big corporation to figure out what went wrong with its latest flagship device (or just some specific batches).
Thanks for the tip, Josip!

Deals: Samsung offers Buy and Try program for new Galaxy Z Fold7, Z Flip7 and Z Flip7 FE
Not sure that a foldable phone is right for you? Samsung and participating retailers like Amazon are letting you take the new Galaxy Z foldables for a spin with the Buy and Try program. This extends the return window to 45-100 days – you can return the phone (in good condition) and get a full refund if you decide that these phones are not right for you. The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 also kept its free storage upgrade offer from the pre-order period, though it seems to apply only to certain colors. Also, Prime and Prime Student members can get a £100 discount. The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 has an even better offer – in addition to the free storage upgrade and £100 off for Prime members, it also gets 10% off at checkout. In fact, several Samsung models get that, more on them in a bit. Like its more premium sibling, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 FE gets the same offer. You may have been tempted to get the old Z Flip6 instead, but right now the FE has the better pricing with these offers. Check out the Samsung Galaxy Watch8 and Watch8 Classic – you can grab a 10% discount with the GALAXY8 promo code and you will also collect an additional band and a Duo Wireless charger for free (the two are valued at £138). Remember that Samsung went with proprietary bands this generation, so you can't use the standard bands you have. And the charger will let you top up your phone and watch at the same time. The Google Pixel 9 and 9 Pro have some solid discounts of over 30% at the moment. Check out our Pixel 9 vs. 9 Pro article for a detailed head-to-head comparison. Google Pixel 9 Pro £320 off Read our review 16/128GB - £680 at Amazon UK Finally, we mentioned that some Samsungs get a 10% discount at checkout. This includes the Galaxy S25, S25+ and S25 Edge flagships (but not the S25 Ultra) and the likes of the Galaxy S24 FE and Galaxy A56 too. Some have additional discounts on top of that, though not all. You can find the full list here. We may get a commission from qualifying sales.

Weekly poll: do you have a smartwatch or other smart wearable?
The global smartphone market is developing at a healthy pace – it was up 10.5% in Q1 this year compared to the same period last year. In more concrete numbers, 45.6 million units were shipped in the first three months of 2025, of which 34.8 million were smartphones, the other 10.8 million were smart bands. This week we wanted to ask you – do you have a smartwatch or smart band? Let's include smart rings in this too. They are designed to be perfect companions to your smartphone – must-have companions, if marketing is to be believed. There are several distinct categories that can serve different needs. Some are capable enough to replace a phone in many situations, others just serve as a sports/health tracker. Smart wearables come in different shapes and sizes Then again, your smartphone already has a clock and a step counter on it, which is enough for some people. Why spend extra money and get the extra hassle of yet another device that needs charging? Charging is a pain point for wearables. The more capable ones running Google's Wear OS or Apple's watchOS are one camera short of being full smartphones, but they need charging every day or two. Less capable devices still offer plenty of functionality and can last a week – some can go as long as a month. So, first question – do you have a smartwatch and what kind is it? If you don't have a watch yet, are you planning on getting one? Or if you do have one, will you be upgrading it before the end of the year? Leave us a comment with your thoughts on smartwatches, bands and rings below.

Samsung Galaxy S25 FE storage variants and color options revealed
It's almost time for the next-generation Galaxy S Fan Edition phone, so the rumors start flying in. The Galaxy S25 FE is expected to arrive sometime in September, if we go by the Galaxy S24 FE release last year, and we already know what it would look like as well as some key specs. Galaxy S24 FE The latest leak talks about the device's memory and color options. The device will offer the usual 8GB/128GB and 8GB/256GB storage configurations, which are a bit disappointing given that most competitors in the price bracket offer 256GB base storage. As far as colors go, which are not accompanied by renders, are Navy, Icy Blue, Jet Black and White. We've already seen the Navy, Jet Black and Icy Blue colors on the current Galaxy S lineup, so we have a good idea of what to expect. Also, none of the listed colors is an option on the current Galaxy S24 FE. Source
