Sony Xperia 10 VIII: Compact. Capable. Refined.

Sony Xperia 10 VIII

A mid-ranger built for real-world reliability.

The Sony Xperia 10 VIII continues Sony’s tradition of thoughtfully designed compact smartphones — prioritizing comfortable ergonomics, durability, and audio quality over chasing trends. It’s a phone built for people who want a device that simply works well, day after day.

A Brighter, Richer Display

The Xperia 10 VIII features a 6.1-inch FHD+ OLED display with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate and 10-bit color depth for rich, accurate visuals. With 100% DCI-P3 color coverage and roughly 50% higher brightness than the previous generation, content looks vivid indoors and out. The panel also intelligently adjusts colors based on ambient lighting, and it’s protected by Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2.

Dependable, Everyday Performance

Powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 chipset (6nm), paired with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, the Xperia 10 VIII is built for smooth daily use. And unlike most phones today, it keeps microSD expansion — up to 2TB — so storage never has to be a compromise. It runs Android 16, with four major OS upgrades and six years of security updates promised.

A Camera System That Keeps It Simple

The rear dual-camera setup includes a 50MP main sensor with a large 1/1.56-inch sensor size, an f/1.9 aperture, and hybrid OIS/EIS stabilization for sharp, steady shots. A 13MP ultrawide lens with a 123° field of view rounds out the system, while an 8MP front camera handles selfies and video calls.

Sound Built for Immersion

Front-facing stereo speakers deliver roughly 15% more volume and over 30% stronger bass than the previous generation, enhanced with Hi-Res Audio, LDAC, and aptX Adaptive support. And yes — the 3.5mm headphone jack is still here for wired audio fans.

All-Day Battery, Smarter Charging

A 5,000mAh battery is paired with 30W fast charging and Xperia Adaptive Charging, which helps preserve battery health over the long run.

Built to Handle Daily Life

The Xperia 10 VIII features a lightweight frame with a matte, fingerprint-resistant composite back panel, IP65/IP68 water and dust resistance, and a side-mounted fingerprint sensor. A dedicated camera shutter key and Rewards & Pay shortcut add convenient physical controls.

Available in Three Colors

Choose from Frozen White, Frosted Grey, or Misty Lilac.
