It appears that the filing was registered sometime in late March 2026 and became available on April 13. While there\u2019s no outright mention of the device\u2019s name, it\u2019s believed this could be the Xperia 1 VIII.<\/p>\n<p>If this is the Xperia 1 VIII, then it appears that Sony submitted its filing a little earlier this year. For comparison, the Xperia 1 VII\u2019s filing became available on April 17, 2025. It\u2019s unknown if this will have any impact on the launch date for Sony\u2019s next flagship.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, the listing doesn\u2019t offer much in terms of new details. The device is said to offer wireless charging, Wi-Fi 7 support, and 5G band support. It appears there are also several mentions of an earphone jack in the filings, so we can likely expect the return of the 3.5mm audio jack.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s still a lot we don\u2019t know yet about the Xperia 1 VIII. However, as we get closer to the eventual launch, more information is sure to surface. The Xperia 1 VII was announced on May 13, 2025, with a release in June. If Sony is planning to follow a similar schedule as last year, we could get an announcement in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for being part of our community.
