Sony halts sales of Xperia 1 VII due to serious technical malfunctions.

Sony has suspended the sales of the Xperia 1 VII due to technical issues. Sony announced a temporary halt to sales and shipments of the new flagship smartphone Xperia 1 VII following numerous user complaints about serious technical problems, reports NotebookCheck.

The device, which was unveiled in May, quickly went on sale, but users began complaining about spontaneous shutdowns, reboots, and other issues.

Software update as a temporary measure

The manufacturer has released an update to address the issue; however, it acknowledges that an investigation into its root cause is still ongoing. Therefore, the software update is currently only a temporary measure.

Sales of the smartphones have been suspended in Japan, China, Hong Kong, as well as in some European countries without any announcements regarding the reasons. This may indicate possible hardware, rather than software, problems.
