Prepare to meet the new-look Sony Xperia 1 VIII.
Civilizations have to like this model because the Sony Xperia 1 VIII (Mark 8), which is about to launch in 2026, has some interesting information and has come out quite clearly, especially from the renderings and data from Amazon that confirm the big changes in this series.
Modify the new camera design. 🟧
- The design name Square Island, from the original Sony, often uses a long vertical camera bar, around which a modern and thicker "square" camera module is switched to a larger sensor.
- The unit will be slightly wider and thicker to improve the cooling system (Vapor Chamber) and increase battery capacity.
Pro Camera Upgrade 📸
- There are rumours that Sony may switch to a larger sensor and 48MP resolution on all 3 lenses.
- The most interesting thing is that he should have stopped using the previous continuous zoom system and turned to a three-fold fixed-stage Telephoto lens, but the trick is to use a much larger sensor, which will make the zoom photos and videos much better.
- Main and Ultrawide lenses still use the popular distance is 24mm and 16mm.
Performance and new features ✨
- Expect to use Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for maximum performance in 4K 120fps video processing.
- AI will manage the image, edit the video, and then manage the power for up to two days.
- Sony still keeps the 3.5mm headroom, adds a MicroSD Card and a notched screen.
Launch schedule and ⏳
- Sony Conference Day officially launched May 13, 2026 in Japan.
- Data from Amazon indicates it will actually start going on sale late June (around June 26, 2026).
- New colors like Graphite Black, Iolite Silver, Garnet Red, and Native Gold may be added as the image slips.
- If sold in Thailand, the price may not reach 10,000 baht like Europe, but it is more likely to be expensive than the Xperia 1 VII.
It is estimated that the price in Thailand should be around 45,900 - 55,900 baht.
My view 🤔
I think it's good that Sony turned to a larger sensor in the zoom lens and improved the Vapour Chamber cooling system. It should be a lot better for people who like to shoot video or live live longer than their predecessors, and the redesign should be a good place to catch their eyes when shooting content. The illustration may be similar to the real thing that's about to be released, but we're going to wait for the real thing at the same time. 😆
