Sony Xperia 8 Lite is official with SD 630 SoC and 2870 mAh battery


Sony is not the kind of company that spawns a zoo of devices. Announcements do not happen often and, as a rule, it shows its significant novelties at some exhibition. This time, Sony quietly, without any pompous presentations, presented the Xperia 8 Lite in its homeland. The device is very similar to the Xperia 8, which was presented at the end of last year. It also shares many similarities with the Xperia 10, but the cameras are different.

Sony Xperia 8 Lite is official with Snapdragon 630 SoC and 2870 mAh battery

In short, the Sony Xperia 8 Lite is a mid-range smartphone with a Snapdragon 630 processor, a dual camera, a tall display with an aspect ratio of 21:9 and a wide top margin, in which all the sensors, a speaker and a front-facing camera are inscribed. The case dimensions are 158x69x8.1 mm.

The front panel has a 6-inch LCD with FullHD+ resolution. The device has 4 GB of RAM, a flash drive with a capacity of 64 GB, a slot for microSD cards up to 512 GB and a modest battery capacity of 2870 mAh.

Xperia smartphones will bring Sony a profit for the first time in 4 years

Many have already stopped following Sony’s mobile business news. However, Sony itself believes in a renaissance and is heading towards cost optimization and trying to build a new team.

During its last report on the results of the second quarter of this year, the company announced the delivery of 800 thousand Xperia smartphones. This is 100 thousand less than a year earlier, but twice as much as in the first quarter of 2020. Given the market crisis and falling demand amid the coronavirus pandemic, Sony’s result can be considered a success.

Encouraged by what is happening, the company said that the company’s mobile business will bring profit for the first time in four years based on the results of operations from April 2020 to March 2021. Of the interesting things, it is worth noting that the company associates its short-term future with budget and mid-range smartphones.
