Tl; DR
- Sony interrupted sales and expeditions of Xperia 1 VII in its native Japan.
- Logged phones spontaneously reset and can refuse to rally.
- Currently, we have no confirmation that there is a problem with the Xperia 1 VII outside Japan.
For a large electronics company, there is probably no brand whose smartphones are more niche products than that of Sony. Although Xperia phones return at the start of Android, the Xperia handsets have never really taken off in the United States. But even if competitors like LG and HTC abandoned, Sony continued to do so – we were really impressed by the Xperia 1 VI of last year, and the new Xperia 1 VII sounded even better. Or, at least, he did until this moment.
On a Japanese assistance page, Sony Announcement that he suspended the expeditions of the Xperia 1 VII and took a sales break in his own stores (via the Reddit user Hashabasha). According to a machine translation, the company does it in response to problems with the phone “sometimes feels problems such as stopping the device, restarting or not lighting up during use”.
The manufacturer identifies some specific Japanese carrier editions of the phone as being affected. Until now, we have not seen any direct report on this problem affecting the Xperia 1 VII outside Japan, and a report of Kunkoku suggests that the software bug at the heart of this problem could be specifically linked to a functionality only available in the country.
That said, last month GSM Arena shared that telephone pre -orders were canceled on European markets, and at the moment we are observing that Sony UK Enumerates the Xperia 1 VII as in stock.
Sony advises that if possible, affected users reset their phone hard and try a software update. This seems to our ears as a correction can already be available, and this shipping break can represent Sony by trying to prevent the combinations currently in inoperable rendering before users have the possibility of installing it.
At least we are hoping This is just a temporary software problem. At the end of May, we heard that Sony could outsource the material manufacturing of third parties, and this practice could start with the Xperia 1 VII.
