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

This variant adds Ultra‑Wideband 5G support and is marketed as the Standard Edition for the Japanese market, featuring Dual‑SIM capability and TD‑LTE connectivity. It comes with 256 GB of storage and is identified by the model number XQ‑GE24 paired with the A601SO carrier suffix, distinguishing it from the base model’s generic configuration.

Compared with the APAC‑targeted Standard Edition models, this JP‑specific UW version offers a different region, model number and carrier branding. It also differs from other Japanese UW Standard Edition 256GB units (XQ‑GE44, XQ‑GE04 SO‑51G, XQ‑GE14 SOG17) by its unique XQ‑GE24 A601SO identifier, while the higher‑capacity JP UW variants provide 512GB or 1TB storage and, in the Premium Editions, 16 GB of RAM. Finally, it stands apart from the EMEA‑region editions through its JP locale and distinct model designation.
