Given the latest leaks, the Sony Xperia 10 VII is in for a bigger design update than previously expected. Finally, we have the Xperia 10 VII leak, which shows off an entirely new camera module and an overall polished design. Xperia-series enthusiasts should expect a mid-level phone with standout modifications, particularly for its camera capabilities.
From the Xperia 10 VII leak, we can see the device will feature a camera module that runs across nearly the full width of the rear, in pill form. In fact, this new design positions the two cameras turned parallel instead of stacking them vertically as we saw on the Xperia 10 VI. Two microphones and an LED flash are also included in the camera module. The dedicated camera shutter button probably isn’t visible either in the case images, but the Xperia 10 VII should get one too, as it’s a beloved feature for smartphone photographers.
The leak around the Xperia 10 VII also confirms the display from the previous gen is remaining unchanged, with no notch or punch-hole. With chunky bezels above and below the panel, the Xperia 10 VII takes on a bit of a retro design style, something that Sony is clearly holding onto. In the right-hand side is the volume buttons and the lock button, with the case exposing a spot for a wrist strap, so you know it won’t slip out of your hands easily.
Moving to specifications, the Xperia 10 VII is said to come with a 6.1-inch display in a long 21:9 body style that would make it one of the thinnest mid-range smartphones on the market today. According to the Xperia 10 VII leak, the frame is reportedly a metal upgrade from previous plastic build, and the device will be replacing Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 with Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 processing power.
Images of the Xperia 10 VII leak, posted via case manufacturer SpinoArmor on Amazon Japan, offer fans a first taste of what Sony’s next mid-range smartphone might look like. This leak does give us some useful information, but it should be taken with a grain of salt since the actual design could be different when the Xperia 10 VII is official in October 2025.
