Announced on 25 August 2026, the Xperia 10 VIII is Sony’s mid-range model built around everyday ease of use rather than raw speed. Sony kept the Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 from the previous generation but made the 6.1-inch FHD+ OLED roughly 50 percent brighter, retuned the front stereo speakers for about 15 percent more volume and over 30 percent stronger bass, and added a Rewards and Pay shortcut on a double press of the power button. The 5000 mAh battery is rated for up to two days, and the translucent rear panel comes in Frozen White, Frosted Grey and Misty Lilac. It goes on sale from mid to late September 2026 at EUR 599 / GBP 549; India is not one of its markets.
