The best way to buy stuff in JP is to do it in-person right in the store and get the sales tax back with foreign passport.

For sure. I wasn't sure if sony store offered tax exceptions for tourists on xperia phones as I said in my post (i.e., the duty free part). Haven't researched too much about it and have never done it myself. But if you can, that will save 10% off the price.
That makes the 16GB/512GB model Y213,00 ($1480 USD).
That would be good for me as it saves money on purchase price and saves money on tariffs.
and just because... unboxing video:

I failed with the purchase request. Tried from some other PC:s with no luck. Even installed a Japanese keyboard.
Then I searched my "buy from Japan" site and the phone was listed. Just got the confirmation mail that they bought my item successfully.
This is what I ordered:
ソニー XQ-FS44 B3JPCX0 SIMフリースマートフォン XPERIA 1 VII 16GB ／ 512GB スレートブラック

Sucks you were unable to order it yourself but that's great news you were able to get it through your "buy from japan" site. Look forward to your review!

I paid exactly the same price as Sony Japan Store has listed, ¥234,300 and an additional ¥800 for insurance and fee. A total of ¥235,100 = 16,687 SEK.
The pre-order price in Sweden for 1 VII 12GB/256GB is 16,399 SEK. Almost 300 SEK ($30) cheaper than I paid for the 16GB/512GB Japan version.
Ok, WH-1000XM5 is bundled, but I don´t use headphones.

Sell the headphones. You should be able to get a decent price for them

Totally worth it. Rather get higher specs than 3 year old headphones.

Spec and hardware comparison with Xperia 1vii (purple vs red color).

Probably the best comparison so far. They've fixed many things in camera they ruined in VI compared to V. Now with VII they are back on the track.

This video demonstrated difference of telephoto quality in night time. See the improvement. (10.30 min)
