Compared to its predecessor, the Xperia 1 VII sees an approximate price increase of ¥10,000, which some consumers may perceive as substantial.
Pro Tip: Keep an eye on Sony’s official website and social media channels for flash sales and exclusive discounts.
Though,Sony offers a limited-time “Loto” (lottery) on their store,valid until September 1st. Unlike previous flat discounts, this lottery provides cashback opportunities up to ¥30,000.
Early participants have reported success. One user noted,When I saw it on X,there were surprisingly many people who said that they won first prize,and I was 3rd prize,but it was still the same as last year. Above all, even a third prize can be purchased for around 195,000 yen, so the impression will change dramatically.
The Sony Store also facilitates in-store and trade-in services, potentially lowering the acquisition cost.
