The image in question shows the Xperia 1 VIII in three different color options. Based on an accidental <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/sony-xperia-1-viii-amazon-listing-3664212\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">early Amazon listing<\/a>, these colors are called Graphite Black, Iolite Silver, and Garnet Red. Despite the low quality, Quandt insists that this is an official image.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"e_ug\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"Xperia 1 VIII\"  alt=\"Xperia 1 VIII\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Xperia-1-VIII.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>In addition to colors, that listing revealed a few of the 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. It\u2019s also expected to pack a 16mm ultrawide, a 24mm main camera, and a new 70mm telephoto camera in the back.<\/p>\n<p>This leak comes only days after <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/sony-xperia-1-viii-launch-date-3665083\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Sony officially confirmed the launch date<\/a>. The Xperia 1 VIII will make its debut on May 12 at 10:00 PM ET. Sony will be livestreaming the event on its YouTube channel. According to the leaked listing, the phone will be priced at \u20ac1,868.99 (~$2,196) in Germany and \u00a31,728 (~$2,352) in the UK.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for being part of our community.
