Sony's New Mid-Range Phone Costs Up to 38% More With Few Changes

Sony's new Xperia 10 VIII goes on sale in September at £549/€599, up from £399/€449 for last year's model. The camera, battery, and screen size stay the same. The main improvements are a faster processor, a brighter screen, and slightly louder speakers. Worth flagging, that price increase outpaces most similarly priced phones this year.
