Sony’s next Xperia phone is coming August 24, but it’s likely to skip the US
Sony has confirmed a new Xperia launch event for August 24, with leaks pointing to the mid-range Xperia 10 VIII.
Sony plans to unveil its next mid-range Xperia phone on August 24, but the device may not make its way to the US market. The company will host a live event on YouTube at 11 AM Japan time, which US viewers can watch at 10 PM ET or 7 PM PT on August 24. Although Sony hasn't disclosed the specific model name, recent leaks suggest the upcoming phone could be the Xperia 10 VIII.
The leaks indicate the phone will use a Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 chipset with 8GB of RAM, similar to last year's Xperia 10 VII. Other features expected to remain include a 3.5mm headphone jack, Wi-Fi 6, and support for four LTE bands. The device is rumored to feature a 6.1-inch 120Hz OLED display and a 5,000mAh battery, comparable to its predecessor.
Sony appears to be skipping the US market once more, despite earlier reports hinting at a broader release. The company will reveal the pricing, specs, and availability of the Xperia 10 VIII at the live event.
