It is exclusive to the land of the Rising Sun
Sony debuted a new Xperia phone in Japan with the Xperia 8. While it is similar to the Xperia 10 that launched at MWC 2019, the Xperia 8 sports Gorilla Glass 6 and comes with a 12-megapixel f/1.8 main camera—presumably an IMX363 sensor—instead of a 13-megapixel main camera.
It also has a slightly smaller 2760mAh battery, though it comes with a built-in DAC for Hi-Res audio, along with more RAM at 4GB. Save for those differences, the Xperia 8 shares the same features with the Xperia 10: Snapdragon 630, 64GB RAM, and a 6-inch Full HD+ IPS display with Sony’s unique 21:9 aspect ratio.
