Sony Xperia 1 VIII is likely to land soon in global markets, and we have seen several rumours about its design. Most recently, the Sony Xperia 1 VIII has been passed through the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) website, revealing a few details. The listing suggests that the upcoming Sony Xperia phone will offer wireless charging. The Sony Xperia 1 VIII is believed to come as a successor to the Xperia 1 VII, which was announced in May last year. The existing model runs on the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset.

An unannounced Sony smartphone has been listed on the FCC website with FCC ID PY7-30515Z. This model number is believed to be associated with the Sony Xperia 1 VIII. The listing suggests that the handset has Wi-Fi 7 and 5G connectivity. The listing also indicates the availability of a 3.5mm audio jack and hints at wireless charging support.

While several of the latest smartphones are moving away from the 3.5mm jack, the FCC listing indicates that the Xperia 1 VIII will continue with the Xperia 1 VII's approach by retaining the headphone jack.

Recent render leaks claimed that the Sony Xperia 1 VIII will have a redesigned square-shaped rear camera module. The new phone is rumoured to feature a hole-punch display design, marking a departure from Sony's existing design pattern. It is said to be available in black, green and purple colours.

The new Sony Xperia 1 VIII could feature small cutouts around the rear camera module. It is expected to feature a triple rear camera unit along with an LED flash. The upcoming phone is likely to offer upgrades over the Sony Xperia 1 VII, which was released in May last year.
