Overview
- Sony unveiled the Xperia 10 VIII on Tuesday and set a mid–late September rollout that will first target Japan and key European markets.
- The company confirmed core specs: a Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 chip, 8GB RAM, 128GB storage, a 5,000 mAh battery with 30W charging, and a 6.1-inch FHD+ 120Hz OLED display.
- Camera and durability are carryovers from the previous model with a 50MP main and 13MP ultrawide rear setup, Gorilla Glass Victus 2, a plastic frame and IP65/IP68 water resistance.
- Sony emphasized retained legacy features—microSD expansion and a 3.5mm headphone jack—and promised Android 16 with up to four major OS updates.
- Early coverage calls the phone an incremental refresh that relies on modest claims of a brighter screen and stronger speakers while competing at a €599/£549 entry price that may narrow its appeal.
