Sony is still in the smartphone business and is gearing up to launch the Xperia 1 VIII, which we recently revealed. Well, there have been a series of leaks about Sony’s new smartphone, thanks to an accidental listing of the Xperia 1 VIII on Amazon UK and Amazon Germany.
The listing reveals a lot of things about the Xperia 1 VIII. For starters, it gives us the actual release date, the confirmed specs, as well as the price tag of the new smartphone.
Let’s dive into the leaked details from the Amazon listing of the Xperia 1 VIII.
Xperia 1 VIII Release Date and Pricing
According to the listing on Amazon UK and Germany, the device is set to go on sale on the 26th of June 2026. Based on the listing prices, the Xperia 1 VIII is expected to be sold for €1868 in Germany and £1728 in the UK.
While the price is pretty high for the Xperia 1VIII, the listing reveals that it is the price for the bundle, which consists of Sony’s WH1000XM6 headphones. Standalone prices for the Xperia 1 VIII are yet to be revealed.
Xperia 1 VIII Specs and Features
If the listing that was accidentally revealed on Amazon is to be believed, check out the hardware specs below
- Display size: 6.5 inches
- Display type: FHD+ HDR OLED display
- Refresh Rate: 120 Hertz
- Camera Setup: Triple rear camera setup and single front selfie snapper
- Battery Life: 2 days of battery backup
- Headphone Jack: 3.5 mm
- SIM Support: dual physical SIM slot

While the details are good enough to get a good idea of what to expect from the new Xperia 1 VIII, the listing skips out on whether the device has a dedicated microSD card slot and the storage and RAM options.
We will have to wait and see whether the prices that were in the listing are either placeholder ones, bundled ones, or actual prices, considering prices of many smartphones have significantly increased in recent months, even after their release.
