Sony is launching a new Xperia phone next week
Sony is set to add a new member to its Xperia lineup next week. The brand announced a new Xperia launch set for Tuesday, August 25. The event will be livestreamed on YouTube and is set to begin at 11AM Japan time, which corresponds to 4 AM CEST on August 26 in Europe.
Sony didn’t explicitly mention the device in question but according to recent leaks, it should be the Xperia 10 VIII (MK8). Last year’s Xperia 10 VII (MK7) launched in September, which would make the Xperia 10 VIII launch nearly a month early. According to a recent Geekbench run, the MK8 will feature the same Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 chipset as its predecessor.

Because they are being manufactured in little quantities. Sony has marketshare lower than 0.01%. 0.003% in 2025. Lower than even niche Pixels that have marketshare of 0.01%.

Bought a Xiaomi Redmi 10 few years back. SD Card Slot, Headphone Jack, cost 120 euros! And people are gushing for Sony having these things in their overpriced nonsense.
