The nearest checked phones by key specifications, with what differs from the Sony Xperia 1 VII. The first matches the Compare button above.

The useful part.

Key strengths

A dedicated telephoto camera is documented alongside the main and ultra-wide modules, with effective and recorded resolutions distinguished.

The manufacturer explicitly lists Qi wireless charging, Battery Share and USB 3.2 at up to 5 Gbps with DisplayPort output.

The checks that matter.

Before you buy

The advertised two-day battery duration is a manufacturer mixed-use claim; it does not establish continuous-video endurance or an independent battery-test result.

Numeric charging wattage and time to 50% are not established in the retained specification; USB PD support alone does not supply those values.

Every specification. With its source.

48 MP

Effective sensor resolution; separate full-aspect and recorded-output quantities are retained in the camera description.

The exact specification and model feature page identify a dedicated telephoto module. Digital or sensor-crop modes are not counted as more cameras.

Source
Published video modes
4K HDR at 24 / 30 / 60 / 120 fps

Manufacturer-listed modes. Lens, resolution, HDR and other settings can constrain combinations; this does not assert every mode is available on every camera simultaneously.

Yes

Sony explicitly lists Optical SteadyShot with FlawlessEye for videography. This positive does not assert optical stabilisation on every rear module.

Wireless charging
Yes

Qi wireless charging is explicitly listed; a compatible charger is required. This does not establish Qi2, MagSafe or an unspecified wattage.

Source
Battery and charging
5000 mAh; USB Power Delivery fast charging; Qi wireless charging; Battery Share

Manufacturer battery capacity and supported charging families. Unlisted numeric charging wattage, time to 50%, and continuous-video endurance remain unverified. The advertised two-day duration is a mixed-use claim, not 48 hours of continuous video.

Source
Continuous-video playback claim
Not listed by the manufacturer

The retained exact-model sources do not establish a continuous-video duration. Sony’s two-day mixed-use claim cannot be converted into this metric.

Source

Source
Battery Share
Yes

Explicitly listed manufacturer feature; unlisted output wattage and compatibility are not inferred.

Manufacturer laboratory rating. Sony warns against immersing the device for use, seawater, salt water, chlorinated water and drinks. Its stated water test uses tap water at 1.5 metres for 30 minutes. The capless USB port must be dry before charging; resistance is not a guarantee against every liquid exposure.
