#sony ericsson xperia active

I was looking for the Sony Ericsson booth at the CommunicAsia earlier today but could not find it (some of our media friends were also flew in by SE there so I thought they must have something important to announce). Looks like it's a couple of Android smartphones -- the Xperia Ray and Xperia Active. The Xperia Ray is a 3.3-inch handset with 8MP camera while the Xperia Active runs a 1GHz SnapDragon CPU and a smaller 3.0-inch screen with a low resolution of 480x320 pixels. Sony has confirmed that it will launch the Xperia 1 VIII on May 13 at 11:00 AM JST. Expected Sony Xperia 1 VIII specs Expected redesigned body Square camera module Expected rear cameras: 16mm ultrawide 24mm wide-angle New telephoto sensor Expected two-day battery life Launch date: May 13, 2026 Sony’s Xperia 1 VIII has surfaced in an eSIM database, hinting that the next-generation flagship is already in testing. Despite Sony’s quieter smartphone strategy in recent years, the Xperia 1 VIII seems ready to continue the brand’s legacy of creator-focused, camera-first Android flagships. While details on design and cameras remain scarce, Sony is expected to debut the Xperia 1 VIII in mid-2026, roughly following the Xperia 1 VII’s June release schedule.
