Sony Xperia 1 VIII Matches Pixel 10 Pro XL on 48MP Triple Cameras, Tops It in Sensor Size
4 articles · Updated · PhoneArena · May 19
Sony’s Xperia 1 VIII pairs a 48MP main, 48MP ultra-wide and 48MP telephoto setup against the Pixel 10 Pro XL’s 50MP main plus two 48MP secondary cameras.
The Xperia’s edge is hardware size: its ultra-wide and telephoto sensors are both 1/1.56-inch, noticeably larger than the Pixel’s 1/2.55-inch sensors in those positions.
Google keeps advantages elsewhere, with a slightly larger 1/1.3-inch main sensor versus Sony’s 1/1.35-inch, a brighter F1.7 main lens, and a longer 5.0x telephoto against Sony’s 2.9x zoom.
Front cameras also diverge sharply, with Sony using a 12MP selfie camera while the Pixel 10 Pro XL lists a 42MP front sensor, underscoring different imaging priorities.
Can superior camera hardware save Sony's niche phone from its shorter software support and premium price?
