Thanks to a SIM database, we know that Sony will have 2 Xperia models in 2026. The new model, PM-153x could be the lower end Xperia 10 VIII. Thanks to everyone who messaged me and sent this in.
The database has also added a fourth possible Xperia 1 VIII variant, PM-1524-BV. As I have speculated in the previous post, this new addition might be a Japanese carrier specific model, perhaps Softbank. We are still missing PM-1520-BV and PM-1525-BV. If PM-1520-BV appears, it should confirm a release for Europe, as I suspect this is the European variant based off the Xperia 1 VII list.
The second mode, PM-153x, already has 6 variants in the database.
- PM-1530-BV
 - PM-1531-BV
 - PM-1532-BV
 - PM-1533-BV
 - PM-1534-BV
 - PM-1555-BV
 
If this is the new Xperia 10 VIII, then it should receive a release in Europe next year. Whether this will be again in the Fall, is unknown, I am guessing yes. Will be interesting what changes and improvements Sony brings to the lower end. The additional of LE Audio and LC3 would be welcome, but I have my doubts.
This is all speculation right now based off this year's models, so things can and will change.
