sony xperia 1 availability

Sony has launched its newest flagship smartphone that comes with a new naming scheme, the Xperia 1, at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2019. The Xperia 1 is the first smartphone of Sony that features a 21:9 CinemaWide 4K OLED display which results in an unusually tall size. Sony seemed to drop the name XZ from their main lineup and named their next phone as Xperia 1. 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. Sony has officially unveiled the Xperia 10 VII, a mid-range smartphone that brings notable upgrades over its predecessor while sticking to Sony’s signature compact form factor. Priced at €449 (PHP 29.8K), the Xperia 10 VII comes in White, Turquoise, and Charcoal Black, with availability details yet to be confirmed.
