Notably, the Xperia 10 VIII will retain the beloved 3.5mm headphone jack, a feature Sony has reaffirmed as essential to the Xperia brand. The event is scheduled for Tuesday, 25 August 2026, at 11AM Japan time, which translates to 10AM in the same timezone for those outside Japan.
Despite the lack of major design changes, the new model may still offer some upgrades, though further details remain scarce. The launch will be streamed live on Sony's official YouTube channel.
