Those listings have now been taken down, but not before the outlet was able to gather some information.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s said that these listings reveal that the Xperia 1 VIII will be released on June 26. The handset\u2019s predecessor was released on June 4 last year, so it appears the release is staying within the same month. The Xperia 1 VII was announced on May 13, 2025, so we could get an announcement later on this month.<\/p>\n<p>These listings also reveal that the new Xperia 1 could be rather expensive, like foldable territory kind of expensive. The German website reportedly listed the price at \u20ac1,868.99 (~$2,196), while the UK page lists the price at \u00a31,728 (~$2,352). Before you get sticker shock, it\u2019s possible that these price tags are just placeholders. It\u2019s also worth mentioning that it appears Sony is throwing in a pair of Sony WH-1000XM6 with the purchase.<\/p>\n<p>The listings also appear to confirm a few specs, like a 6.5-inch FHD+ OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, \u201cXperia AI,\u201d a 3.5mm headphone jack, and the promise of a two-day battery. Meanwhile, the triple rear camera setup contains a 16mm ultrawide, a 24mm main camera, and a new 70mm telephoto camera.<\/p>\n<p>It appears there will be three color options: Graphite Black, Iolite Silver, and Garnet Red. However, these listings lacked images to showcase the colors.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for being part of our community.
