Overview
- OnLeaks and MyMobiles published CAD-based images that show a redesigned Xperia 1 VIII with a triple rear camera set low on the left.
- The renders depict a flat 6.5-inch OLED with the selfie camera in the top bezel rather than a hole‑punch.
- Reported measurements list 161.9 x 74.4 x 8.58 mm for the body, with the square camera island raising thickness to 11.37 mm at its peak.
- GSMArena reports the new layout may make room for larger image sensors including a new telephoto, though that remains a rumor.
- Reporters expect a May launch with June sales and warn distribution could be narrow as Sony has pulled back from the US and much of Europe.
