Sony · Announced May 2026
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 adds Dual SIM capability where the base model supports only a single SIM, and it carries the UW designation indicating Ultra‑Wideband 5G support. It is tailored for the Japanese market, comes with 256 GB of internal storage, is labelled as the Standard Edition, and bears the model number XQ‑GE44.
Compared with the APAC Standard Edition models (XQ‑GE74), it shifts the region to Japan and includes the UW feature. Among the JP‑market UW Standard Edition 256 GB devices, it differs by lacking a carrier‑specific suffix (such as A601SO, SO‑51G or SOG17) and by using the XQ‑GE44 model code. It offers half the storage of the JP UW Standard Edition 512 GB version and a quarter of the storage of the JP UW Premium Edition 1TB model, while retaining the same 12 GB RAM configuration, and it diverges from the EMEA editions in both region and model number.
