About Sony Xperia 1 VIII 5G

The Sony Xperia 1 VIII 5G feels compact yet substantial in the hand, measuring 74 mm wide, 162 mm tall and just 8.3 mm thick while weighing 200 g. Its 6.5‑inch AM‑OLED panel delivers a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 by 2340 pixels, offering vivid colours and deep contrast for everyday media consumption and gaming alike.

Under the hood, the device runs Google Android 16 (Baklava) and is equipped with 12 GiB of RAM, providing ample headroom for multitasking and demanding applications. A 5 000 mAh battery powers the phone, replenished via a 15 watt wired charger, and the handset supports a single SIM card for cellular connectivity.

This variant

The Sony Xperia 1 VIII 5G Standard Edition TD‑LTE APAC 512GB XQ‑GE74 distinguishes itself from the base model by providing a 512 GB internal storage option, a specification the base description does not include. It is also earmarked for the APAC market and carries the TD‑LTE network label, details absent from the base model’s overview.

When placed alongside the other listed versions, this model matches the APAC Standard Edition 256 GB in being a Standard Edition for the APAC region but offers twice the storage capacity. It differs from the APAC Premium Edition 1TB by having half the storage and retaining the Standard Edition tier. Compared with the JP‑market UW editions, it shifts the region to APAC, drops the UW qualifier, and uses the XQ‑GE74 model identifier instead of the XQ‑GE24, XQ‑GE44, XQ‑GE04 or XQ‑GE14 codes. Finally, it sets itself apart from the EMEA‑targeted models by locating the sales region in APAC while keeping the same Standard Edition classification.
