Sony states that it aims to respond to users’ desire to “take great photos” and expand the enjoyment of everyday photography and creative experiences through Xperia.
Key features of the “Sony Xperia 1 VIII”
Equipped with an AI camera assistant that makes you want to take more photos.
Thanks to the evolved Xperia Intelligence, simply pointing the camera at a subject allows it to recognize the scene by combining the subject and weather, and then suggests color tones, the optimal lens, and bokeh effect based on Sony’s unique Creative Look, cultivated with Sony’s “α (Alpha)” digital SLR cameras. Without the need for post-processing, you can find your preferred shooting expression with just a tap and capture the image exactly as you intended.
The new telephoto camera delivers clear image quality even in low light conditions.
The telephoto camera features a 1/1.56-inch (approximately 1.6cm) image sensor, about four times larger than that of the previous model (Xperia 1 VII), enabling clear shooting even in low light. Furthermore, image stacking is performed at the RAW stage, which is compatible with all lenses. This improves color reproduction accuracy even in scenes with large differences in brightness, suppressing blown-out highlights and crushed blacks with HDR, resulting in low-noise, high-resolution images with sharp outlines regardless of time or location.
A redesign inspired by raw gemstones (ORE) and a range of four colors.
Inspired by raw gemstones (ORE), a newly developed fine textured surface is applied to all materials, including the back glass and aluminum frame, resulting in a non-slip grip and a unified design. In addition, the rear camera placement has been revamped to accommodate the new telephoto lens, and the camera is available in colors that highlight the beautiful texture of the body.
Equipped with advanced full-stage stereo speakers, it delivers an immersive sound experience.
Equipped with newly developed, identical speaker units for both the left and right sides, it reproduces deeper bass and more extended treble, while achieving a sound with breadth and depth. Human voices and instrument sounds can now be expressed with even greater clarity and realism, allowing you to enjoy an immersive sound experience as if a music stage or movie scene is unfolding right before your eyes.
Advanced processing and communication performance thanks to the latest chipset and 5G millimeter wave support.
This device features Qualcomm’s latest chipset, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 Mobile Platform, resulting in improved processing speed. In addition to optimizing processing performance for power-intensive usage scenarios such as browsing social media and websites, it also reduces power consumption by optimizing processing performance for map applications. Furthermore, this is the first Xperia model to support 5G millimeter wave in a SIM-free model
