To say that Sony is conservative about changing the design of its smartphones would be a laughable understatement – for anyone but the biggest Sony fans it’s almost impossible to tell different generations apart.
This, however, may change for its next mid-ranger, the Xperia 10 VII. According to a case maker on Amazon, Sony will be switching things up this time, with a different arrangement of its camera sensors compared to its predecessor which launched last year.

Whereas the Xperia 10 VI has the two cameras arranged vertically, the Xperia 10 VII goes with a horizontal arrangement instead. Sure, it’s not the biggest design change ever, but for Sony it’s pretty significant.
The images in this article come from a case listing on Amazon. The fact that this went up might mean that Sony is getting ready to unveil the Xperia 10 VII – after all, it’s very late compared to the 10 VI, which was released last June. The original Xperia 10 from 2019 was the last internationally available Sony smartphone to come with a horizontal camera island, so it’s been a while.

Unfortunately, the Xperia 10 VII’s specs are still a mystery. We’ll let you know when we find out more.
Thanks for the tip!
