What We Know About the New Sony Xperia 1 VIII

The release date indicated on the product page on Amazon was set for June 26. However, we cannot rule out the possibility that the smartphone's presentation will happen sooner. There may be a launch bundle with the Sony WH1000XM6 headphones, at least according to Amazon's reports. Regarding the price, taking Germany as a reference, the new Xperia 1 VIII is expected to hit the market with a list price of 1,868.99 euros.

The possible price increase, if confirmed, could be closely linked to the memory crisis. The product page on Amazon clarified the presence of a 6.5-inch OLED display, with Full HD+ resolution and a maximum refresh rate of 120 Hz.

The expected color options are three: Graphite Black, Iolite Silver, and Garnet Red. The camera setup is expected to consist of a triple rear camera, with a 16 mm ultra-wide lens, a 24 mm main camera, and a new 70 mm telephoto lens. The presence of the AI jack and "Xperia AI" has been confirmed. Among the specifications, there should also be space for the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 SoC.

Further details on the specifications and price of the new Sony smartphone will arrive at the time of the presentation, which is expected in a few weeks.
