Summary
Sony unveiled the Xperia 10 VIII on Aug. 25, pairing a 6.1-inch 120Hz OLED display with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 and 8GB of RAM.
The mid-range phone leans on legacy hardware that rivals have mostly dropped, including a 3.5mm headphone jack and microSD expansion, while also adding a 5,000mAh battery and upgraded stereo speakers.
European pricing is set at €599, with sales in Europe and the UK due from mid- to late September; leaked filings had earlier pointed to a lower expected price near €449.
U.S. availability still looks unlikely, as FCC details showed limited LTE band support and no clear 5G path, underscoring Sony’s focus on niche buyers over broader market competition.
