Editorial report
Sony Xperia 8 technical sheet
The Sony Xperia 8 suits buyers looking for a light phone with water and dust protection and a sharp display. The main trade-off is its 2,760 mAh battery, among the smallest of its time. Its design puts handling and screen detail ahead of battery capacity.
The 6-inch LCD display has a density of 457 ppi, among the highest for phones of its time. Overall, the display ranks better than most phones launched around the same time. The Xperia 8 weighs 170 g, less than most phones of its time, and has IP68 protection. Its 21:9 aspect ratio gives the screen an elongated shape, while Gorilla Glass 6 covers the display.
The camera as a whole is above average for phones of its time. The rear main camera combines 12 MP resolution with an f/1.8 aperture, and an 8 MP ultrawide camera is also included. Its 12 MP resolution is worse than most. Video recording reaches 4K at 30 fps. Performance is below average, with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 630 and 4 GB of RAM. Storage is 64 GB, also below average, and can be expanded.
Connectivity is worse than most phones of its time. The Xperia 8 has 4G, NFC, USB Type-C and a 3.5 mm audio jack. Its NeoScore of 3.6 sums up a phone for buyers who put a detailed screen, light weight and IP68 protection ahead of battery capacity and hardware performance.
