Sony has just announced the Xperia 8 in Japan, hot on the heels of the Xperia 5 release. The mid-range smartphone has a body that is quite similar to that of the Xperia 10. However, in the case of the Xperia 8, there is Gorilla Glass 7 on the front and back.

The Sony Xperia 8 comes with a 6-inch FHD+ display with the signature 21:9 aspect ratio. It comes with an LCD panel, unlike flagship Xperia models. The device has a dimension of 158mm x 69mm x 8.1mm and weighs 170 grams.

This beautiful device has a dual-camera setup on the rear. This setup includes a 12MP f/1.8 main shooter and an 8MP f/2.4 ultrawide angle camera. On the front sits an 8MP f/2.0 selfie camera.

The Xperia 8 has its power button plus fingerprint scanner combo on the right side. Sony also included the Side Sense touch sensors that we see in the Xperia 1 and the Xperia 5.

LOL. I was actually having this discussion with a colleague today.

The world is moving away from big bezels, and here's Sony acting against the movement.

Lol, Sony stubbornly sticks to old fashioned tastes in their devices, i wonder who prefers 21:9 aspect ratio...
Btw, who else thinks Sony has the MOST CONFUSING NAMING system for their devices...
Today its Xperia 1 tomorrow its Xperia 8,geez!!

Sony builds one of the most superb and beautiful phones but they keep struggling with sales just like HTC because they are so bent on not following trends. The last Xperia phone I saw somebody using was the Z2 and that was a long time ago.

Sony missed it big time... with the ugly bezel.

please they should just concentrate on electronics, it is a technological embarrassment to the phone sector, to produce such a device and attempt to defraud of #200,000. Samsung tried it and failed.

These ones love to live in the past.

Big bezels
LCD panel
Snapdragon 630
