Thank you for your efforts, it was a good review. Please use a better subject for low-light photography so that the noise level, dynamic range, and overall image processing can be more clearly assessed. For example, take a photo of a landscape at night or during sunset.
Something frequently annoying with these reviews - is it not possible to show a clear un-reflected image of what the front of the phone actually looks like?
Sony's flagship phone is significantly lighter and more compact than a Galaxy S26 Ultra or Xiaomi 17 Ultra, but is also said to be equipped with top-of-the-line cameras. It also features a 3.5-mm headphone jack and a microSD slot. Read the review to find out why the Xperia 1 VIII falls short of the "high-end" designation.
