Sony has just launched its new smartphone in the Xperia series with the name Sony Xperia 8. The Xperia 8 comes with mid-range specifications that include a Snapdragon 630 processor instead of a flagship one. It comes with dual rear cameras but the battery disappoints again as it has a 2760mAh battery which is not enough for a 6-inch display smartphone.
