i have yet to order a VII. if there was any credible rumors/news that they would be adding the 200mp sensor to the VIII, I would wait for it.

We're forever waiting for the next big thing..  What are the chances we'll see a new design language as in the last 10 series?

There is also a 4th variant for the xperia 1 VIII, PM-1524-BV. This could be the softbank version.

We don't know if 152x is 1 viii. 153x could be 1 viii |

except in past releases, the 1 series was always the first of the range then the 5, then the 10. now that the 5 is gone, it it 1 then 10.

Your guess is probably correct. I also think 152x is 1 VIII. But we shouldn't state it definitively just yet. |

That would be horrible. 200mp in a smartphone camera is a hoax and just a marketing trick. |

Yes but marketing is everything. Try explaining to the average user that 200MP is overkill.

Overkill in the sense that the lens can only reproduce around 12mp~ anyway
Obviously there's no sense explaining this to the masses, but Sony have always gave us true and real products. |

200mp is for cropping photo purpose. It's just like xperia 5v , 1vi and 1vii 2 x crop zoom, for 200mp it can roughly crop zoom till around 4 times (but of course will not achieve full 200mp) without using Optical zoom , and perhaps sony will use 4 times onward to further Optical zoom Limited by the physical calculation / their pre planned zoom range.
See 7.05 minutes about cropping.

That is , if Sony use the 200mp sensor. 😅😅

The lens can resolve around 5% of those 200mp. Since the lens is the limiting factor, it doesn't matter how many more megapixels above the capability of the lens the sensor has, you won't get any extra detail and you won't have any more crop ability. |

While that might be true for film cameras it is not true for mobile cameras. That myth has been debunked right after SSS first 50mp quadbayer sensor. It too has advertised sensor crop zoom but in reality all you got was mushy mess. They way they do it now is they reconstruct the whole thing in the shooting pipeline, from shooting native 50mp with no actual detail advantage, processing it with serial effects for additional detail generation, crop in, and then process it some more for another round of detail retention/generation. |

Exactly, because the lens doesn't provide. What do get is interpolation and nothing more. |
