Nonetheless, a few clues already exist about the Xperia 1 VIII and how it could differ from the current Xperia 1 VII. For instance, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.notebookcheck.net\/Qualcomm-Snapdragon-8-Elite-Gen-5-announced-with-over-a-dozen-OnePlus-Poco-RedMagic-Samsung-Vivo-and-other-flagship-smartphones-teased.1122119.0.html\" target=\"_self\" class=\"internal-link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Qualcomm confirmed<\/a> in September that Sony would be one of the many Android OEMs to adopt its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.notebookcheck.net\/Qualcomm-Snapdragon-8-Elite-Gen-5-Processor-Benchmarks-and-Specs.1123169.0.html\" target=\"_self\" class=\"internal-link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5<\/a> chipset.<\/p>\n<p class=\"bodytext\">While not much on the face of it, these six model numbers mirror those that Sony created for the Xperia 1 VII. As a result, the website now believes that the Xperia 1 VIII will receive a release across Europe too, although a North American launch remains unlikely. The same is true for the presumed Xperia 10 VIII, which should be available in the same markets as its flagship counterpart.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.notebookcheck.net\/Notebookcheck-Team.212978.0.html?&amp;tx_nbc2journalist_pi1%5Bmode%5D=show&amp;tx_nbc2journalist_pi1%5Buid%5D=278\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/csm_alex_alderson_photo_98f8faaa46.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"120\" height=\"120\" alt=\"Alex Alderson\"\/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.notebookcheck.net\/Notebookcheck-Team.212978.0.html?&amp;tx_nbc2journalist_pi1%5Bmode%5D=show&amp;tx_nbc2journalist_pi1%5Buid%5D=278\" class=\"j_name\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Alex Alderson<\/a> &#8211; Senior Tech Writer  &#8211; 13799 articles published on Notebookcheck since 2018<\/p>\n<p>Prior to writing and translating for Notebookcheck, I worked for various companies including Apple and Neowin.
