Sony Xperia 10 VIII Specifications and Features
Right off the bat, the immediately noticeable aspect of the Sony Xperia 10 VIII is its design. The phone retains the core look of the Sony Xperia 10 VII but has refined it further. It still retains the horizontal pill-shaped camera bar from the last-gen model.
However, the Sony Xperia 10 VIII features translucent accent materials throughout, giving the design a seamless look. The back panel offers a matte finish, good at resisting fingerprints and smudges. The phone comes in Frozen White, Frosted Grey and Misty Lilac colour options.
