GSMARENA REVIEW:
https://www.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_1_viii-review-2963.php
Looks like some small upgrades here and there. Major upgrade is telephoto sensor being 4 times the size. GSM arena says telephoto camera is locked. The video seems to show a proper periscope lens though? 1TB model is available. Other than that, it's just more AI slop.
I do like the fully textured body.
Top model is 1TB/16GB. It also has the SD slot still, so not sure why you'd pay for the 1TB slot unless you're shooting tons of 4K video and don't like swapping SD cards.
Pricing:
256GB/12GB - 1500 euro or 1400 pounds or about $1760 USD.
1TB GOLD model will be 2000 eros or 1850 pounds or about $2350 USD.
Preorder bundle (where available) includes the XM6 headphones.
JAPAN PRICING
256GB/12GB - Y235,400 (taxes included) or about $1,500 USD
512GB/12GB - Y251,900 (taxes included) or about $1,600 USD
512GB/16GB - Y268,400 (taxes included) or about $1,700 USD
1TB/16GB - Y299,200 (taxes included) or about $1,900 USD

It seems that the reviewers’ unit doesn’t have the final camera firmware as GSMArena’s camera review is not so good.

This just could be the best 1 since 1V.

Not really, it is a final product, it is just that the camera isnt actually so good..

As a user of the Xperia 1V and 1VII, I think this is far from true. If they can produce a superb camera on 1VII, I don't see they can produce better than that.

Or the review is not that professional and knowledge based.

You can not blame reviewers and specialized phone websites every time you don´t like what you read regarding a phone. Similiar websites will probabbly write the same..

I checked Amazon.jp and they have listed a black 16/1TB 1 VIII XQ-GE44 B4JPCX0, buth they don´t ship to Sweden.
Seen a black 16/1TB 1 VIII on other Japanese sites too, but they don´t sell outside Japan.
In Europe there are some countries that you can preorder the gold 1TB from Sony. Can´t find info if it´s 12 or 16 GB RAM.
I don´t like the gold colour. Prefer a black phone.
