Sony just officially confirmed the date of its Xperia 1 VIII unveiling – May 13 at 11:00 AM, Japan time. Sony didn’t really add much in the way of information, only saying that “when brilliance comes full circle, the next one is coming.”

It’s clear that Sony will announce its long-awaited next flagship, the Xperia 1 VIII, but Sony will also announce its high-res flagship full-frame camera, the A7r VI, as well as a new lens – the 100-400mm f/4.5 GM.

We know that the Xperia 1 VIII will usher in a new design, highlighted by a new square camera island, and a body that’s ever so slightly wider and thicker than its predecessor.

Rumor has it that there will be a new telephoto sensor, ranging between 1/3.0-inch and 1/2.0-inch, a 16mm ultrawide, a 24mm wide-angle camera, and “2-day battery”.

Per leaked preliminary listings, the Xperia 1 VIII could begin shipping on June 26, and cost a whopping €1,868.99 in Germany, £1,728 in the UK.
