Buying advice for Algeria
Both Sony Xperia 1 IV and Sony Xperia 1 VII are sold in Algeria, but they fit different priorities.
Sony Xperia 1 IV is 25% cheaper at 150,000 DZD versus 200,000 DZD for the Sony Xperia 1 VII, leaving room for accessories or a longer screen-protection plan.
Sony Xperia 1 VII posts a stronger benchmark score, useful for heavier games and multitasking on Algerian carriers' busier 4G networks.
Sony Xperia 1 VII reaches a higher main-sensor resolution at 48 MP, which helps with crops and lower-light photos.
Above 100,000 DZD you are paying for the chipset, camera tuning, and long-term software support, so weigh those against price.
