The Sony Xperia 1 VII is finally official. And to no one’s surprise, the design hasn’t changed much. Sony’s sticking to its usual formula, but under the hood, there’s some good news, especially for camera nerds. The Sony Xperia 1 VII still looks boxy, with flat edges, flat front and back, and top/bottom bezels instead of a hole-punch. That means no interruptions on the 6.5-inch OLED panel.

According to the report, the Galaxy S26 series is codenamed “NPA” and will include three devices: a base model, an Edge, and the Ultra. In 2025, the Galaxy S25 Plus was widely seen as the weakest link in the lineup.

The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge is officially here, and this launch promo is way too good to ignore.

Both are available now, and they’re priced way lower than Apple’s option.
