New batch of Sony Xperia 1 VIII renders detail its dimensions | Infinium-tech

We’ve got a new batch of renders for the upcoming Xperia 1 VIII, and they’re our best look at the device yet. According to MyMobiles, we are looking at the final designs, and the source assured us that they are based on the same CAD data used by Sony suppliers.

They feature a familiar design with a tall and narrow-looking display with the front-facing camera integrated inside the top bezel next to the earpiece. Earlier renders had suggested that we could see a punch-hole cutout approach, but it looks like that won’t be the case. The new renders show that the bezel width will remain unchanged from the Xperia 1 VII, and the new phone will likely retain the 6.5-inch OLED.

Based on the leaked dimensions, the Xperia 1 VIII will measure 161.9 x 74.4 x 8.58 mm, which is similar to its predecessor but slightly wider and thicker. That new square camera island will contribute to the overall thickness of the phone, which is said to reach 11.37mm at its thickest point – 2mm more than the Xperia 1 VII.

According to previous rumors, Sony is implementing this new design so that it can fit larger sensors than those found in the Xperia 1 VII, including a new telephoto sensor in the 1/3″ to 1/2″ size range. Additionally, we are also rumored to have a launch slated for May with availability from June, just like last year’s model.
