Sony has announced the new Xperia 10 VIII smartphone. It features the Point&Pay menu, which provides one-touch access to payment and points apps, along with improved display and sound performance.
The Xperia 10 VIII has been introduced as the successor to the Xperia 10 VII, announced in September 2025. It increases the maximum brightness of its 6.1-inch display and improves the sound quality and volume of its front-facing speakers. The design features a thin glass panel on the back to create a premium look.
The new Point&Pay menu allows users to register payment and points apps and launch them by pressing the power button twice. Icons on the tray can be rearranged, and apps other than payment and points apps can also be added. The feature is designed to be used without looking at the screen, enabling smooth access to multiple apps.
The specifications include a 5,000mAh battery designed to provide approximately 2 days of use without recharging. The device has 8GB of RAM, 6GB of virtual memory and 128GB of storage. It measures 153×72×8.3mm and weighs 168g. It will be available in 3 colors: Frost Gray, Frozen White and Misty Lilac.
