The Sony Xperia 1 VII returns to stores across markets, Sony announced in a post on its website. The news was also reported by GSMArena.com. Sources had reported early in July that Sony was pulling the device due to random reboots, restarts, and shutdowns.

In that post on its website, Sony explained why it pulled the device, what actions it had taken since then, and when it would be available. When Sony pulled the device in July, it also announced a replacement for affected batches and how you can claim a replacement. Sony shared that information again with its customers.

They include “unexpected power-offs, restarts, or difficulties powering on.” The update further highlights steps it has taken to rectify this problem and what you can do if you own a Sony Xperia 1 VII.
