Sony Xperia 1 VIII

Buying advice

The Sony Xperia 1 VIII is a rare breed in 2026 — a flagship that still keeps the 3.5mm headphone jack and microSD card slot. Its triple 48MP camera system with a large telephoto sensor is built for serious photographers who want manual control. The 6.5-inch OLED display is bright and smooth, but sticks to FHD+ resolution — sharp enough for daily use but noticeably lower than Samsung or OPPO flagships. The Snapdragon 8 Elite ensures top-tier performance, and the 5000mAh battery with 30W charging is solid if unspectacular. At its premium price point, this phone is laser-focused on audio enthusiasts and photography purists rather than spec-sheet warriors.
