Xperia 1 VIII dimensions and camera design become clear

New CAD-based draft drawings for Sony Xperia 1 VIII have been shared, and these images offer the closest look at the final design of the phone. MyMobiles reports that the sketches are based on the same CAD data used by Sony suppliers. The most obvious innovation is the near-square camera section on the back, which replaces the vertical camera strip.

On the front, Sony maintains the familiar Xperia line. However, the expectation of a perforated screen spoken in previous draft images is weakened with these new visuals. The front camera is located inside the top frame, next to the headphone speaker. Thus, Xperia 1 VIII continues the symmetrical screen concept of Xperia 1 VII.

On the screen side 16.5cm OLED panel expectation comes to the fore. Additionally, the bezel width remains largely the same as the Xperia 1 VII. This choice directly concerns Xperia users who like the long screen ratio for gaming, video and photo editing. Here, Sony prioritizes the familiar feeling of use rather than a radical front-end change.

According to leaked measurements Xperia 1 VIII 161.9 x 74.4 x 8.58mm will have dimensions. Compared to the Xperia 1 VII, the phone remains almost the same height, but feels slightly wider and thicker. Total thickness including camera bump 11.37mm reaches the level. This difference makes the rear camera section more noticeable when you place the phone on the table.
