Evidence-based overview
Xperia 1 VIII technical sheet
The Sony Xperia 1 VIII runs Android 16 with the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, an octa-core CPU reaching 4.6 GHz, 16 GB of LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.0 storage up to 1,024 GB. Documented figures include 3,210,596 in AnTuTu v11, 3,234 in Geekbench 6 single-core, 10,059 in multi-core and 6,962 in 3DMark Wild Life Extreme. These are recorded benchmark results, not tests performed by NeoTeo.
Its 6.5-inch LTPO OLED display has 1,080 × 2,340 px resolution, 396 ppi, a 120 Hz refresh rate and 240 Hz touch sampling. Always-On Display and Gorilla Glass Victus 2 are also listed. The glass-and-aluminium body weighs 200 g and carries IP65 and IP68 resistance ratings. A 5,000 mAh Li-Polymer battery supports 30 W wired charging, 15 W wireless charging, reverse charging and bypass charging; the documented endurance figure is 51 hours.
The rear camera setup combines a 48 Mpx main camera with 50 Mpx telephoto and 50 Mpx ultrawide cameras. The main unit has optical image stabilisation and records 4K at up to 120 fps, while the 12 Mpx front camera records 4K at up to 60 fps. Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6.0, USB 3.2, a 3.5 mm audio jack, NFC, eSIM and DisplayPort output broaden its connectivity. The stated compromises are a 30 W wired charging limit and the lack of direct OS updates.
