By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Sony has released the Xperia 10 VIII, an updated midrange Android phone that offers minimal upgrades over its predecessor, the Xperia 10 VII. The new model retains the same Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 processor, 8GB of RAM, and 5,000mAh battery, with only minor improvements like a brighter display and louder speakers. Despite the lack of significant enhancements, the Xperia 10 VIII comes with a substantial price increase, costing £549 in the UK, which is £150 more than the previous model. The phone will be available in September. AI
