Android Headlines published the first pictures of the handset, showing a flat slab candy-bar form with a horizontal camera bar identical to the Xperia 10 VII, according to the report. The new light mint colour sits closer to white, while the raised camera bar retains two cameras, an LED flash and the SONY logo on the right.
Geekbench listings indicate the Xperia 10 VIII will use the same Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 processor and 8 GB of RAM found in the Xperia 10 VII, the benchmark entry shows.
The Xperia 10 VII, launched in Malaysia in November 2025 at RM2,199, featured a 6.1-inch 120 Hz Full HD+ OLED display, the Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 chip, a 50 MP main camera plus a 13 MP ultra-wide, a 5,000 mAh battery with USB-PD fast charging, a 3.5 mm jack, microSD expansion, stereo speakers and IP68 dust and water resistance, according to the sales listing.
Sony has scheduled the Xperia New Product announcement for Tuesday, 25 August 2026 at 10:00 a.m. Malaysia time, with a live stream on YouTube.
Malaysian buyers can already order the flagship Xperia 1 VIII at RM6,499 for the 12 GB/256 GB variant. The early-bird pre-order bundle includes Sony WF-1000XM6 wireless earbuds worth RM1,599 and a Style Cover with Stand valued at RM185 while stocks last.
