Newly-leaked Sony Xperia 1 VIII renders suggest a radical design departure for the 2026 flagship, moving from the classic vertical camera strip to a more modern square module. Rumored specifications indicate an upgrade to a triple 48MP camera system, finally bringing a high-res sensor to the telephoto lens. While social media reception of the "generic" redesign is mixed, Sony enthusiasts might get to keep their beloved 3.5mm jack and microSD slot.
