As it stands, Sony appears to have no interest in challenging the likes of Apple or Samsung<\/a> in the US with the Xperia 1 VII. Potentially, the company could return to the mid-range market with the Xperia 10 VII though, which was spotted in late spring<\/a> as the XQ-FE44. Currently, the Xperia 10 VII is anticipated to arrive this October. Please see our Xperia 1 VII launch article<\/a> for full details about Sony’s most recent flagship smartphone.<\/p>\n Prior to writing and translating for Notebookcheck, I worked for various companies including Apple and Neowin. I have a BA in International History and Politics from the University of Leeds, which I have since converted to a Law Degree.
