Editorial report
Sony Xperia 8 Lite technical sheet
The Sony Xperia 8 Lite may suit someone looking for a light phone with a sharp display, but its 2,870 mAh battery is among the smallest in phones of its time. That is the clearest trade-off to weigh.
Its 6-inch display has a density of 457 ppi, among the highest in phones launched around then. At 170 g, it also weighs less than most, and the body is 8.1 mm thick. IP68 protection adds water and dust resistance. The 4 GB of RAM is below average, while 64 GB of storage is less than most phones of its time; storage can be expanded.
The rear camera has 12 MP resolution, lower than that of most phones of its time, and records 4K video at 30 fps. Overall, its camera is worse than most phones launched around the same time. Connectivity also falls short of most: it supports 4G and includes NFC, USB-C and a 3.5 mm audio jack. The Xperia 8 Lite has been on sale since August 26, 2020, and runs Android 9.
Its overall NeoScore is 3.5. This phone makes most sense for someone who values a high-density display, low weight and IP68 protection more than battery capacity or camera specifications that keep pace with its peers.
