6.5-inch OLED HDR Display with 120Hz Refresh Rate
The Xperia 1 VIII features a stunning 6.5-inch OLED HDR display with Full HD+ resolution and adaptive 1–120Hz refresh rate technology. Powered by Sony BRAVIA display tuning, the screen delivers exceptional color accuracy, cinematic contrast, and smooth visuals for movies, gaming, photography, and professional content creation.
Powered by Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5
Sony equips the Xperia 1 VIII with Qualcomm’s flagship Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor built for premium gaming, multitasking, AI processing, photography, and advanced multimedia workloads while maintaining strong power efficiency.
Triple 48MP Professional Camera System
The new-generation triple 48MP camera array includes wide, ultra-wide, and telephoto lenses designed with Sony Alpha camera expertise. The upgraded telephoto sensor delivers improved zoom quality and better low-light performance compared to previous Xperia generations.
AI Camera Assistant
Sony introduces a new AI Camera Assistant system that intelligently suggests lenses, color tones, depth effects, and scene optimizations to help users capture better photos more easily while preserving Xperia’s creator-focused camera controls.
Professional Creator Experience
The Xperia 1 VIII continues Sony’s creator-first philosophy with manual photography controls, advanced video tools, RAW image support, 4K recording, and color science inspired by Sony Alpha cameras and professional cinema equipment.
No Punch-Hole Display Design
Unlike most flagship smartphones, the Xperia 1 VIII keeps the front camera inside the top bezel instead of using a punch-hole cutout. This preserves a clean uninterrupted viewing experience and maintains front-facing stereo speakers.
Front Stereo Speakers + 3.5mm Headphone Jack
Sony retains features loved by multimedia enthusiasts including powerful front-facing stereo speakers and the rare 3.5mm headphone jack with high-quality audio tuning for wired headphone users.
microSD Expansion Support
Unlike many flagship devices, the Xperia 1 VIII still supports expandable microSD storage up to 2TB, allowing creators and power users to store huge amounts of videos, RAW photos, music, and offline content.
5000mAh Battery with Wireless Charging
The 5000mAh battery provides reliable all-day endurance for gaming, streaming, photography, and productivity. Wireless charging and Sony battery protection technologies help extend long-term battery health.
Premium Gorilla Glass Victus Protection
The front uses Gorilla Glass Victus 2 while the rear panel uses Gorilla Glass Victus for improved scratch resistance and enhanced durability in daily usage.
IP68 Water & Dust Resistance
The Xperia 1 VIII is protected against water and dust with IP65/IP68 durability certification, giving extra confidence during outdoor usage and travel.
Wi-Fi 7 + Bluetooth 6.0 Connectivity
Advanced connectivity includes Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6.0 with aptX Lossless audio support, NFC, USB-C 3.2 video output, and multi-system GPS navigation.
Dual SIM + eSIM Flexibility (XQ-GE74)
The XQ-GE74 global variant supports Nano SIM + eSIM configurations and also allows dual eSIM usage together with microSD expansion support.
Android 16 with Long-Term Support
Running Android 16, the Xperia 1 VIII offers improved multitasking, enhanced AI functionality, smoother animations, and Sony promises up to four OS upgrades with six years of security updates.
