Yes. Sony’s current 2026 retail listing identifies XQ-GE74 as the Xperia 1 VIII.
3. Is Native Gold an official Sony color?
Yes. Sony lists Graphite Black, Garnet Red, Native Gold and Iolite Silver.
4. Should the listing say simply “Gold”?
I recommend Native Gold, because that is Sony’s official English color name.

9. Is the internal storage UFS?
Yes. Sony specifies 512GB UFS.
10. Does Sony publish the exact UFS generation?
Not in the exact 512GB manufacturer specification I reviewed. I would therefore write 512GB UFS, not invent UFS 4.0/4.1.

Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 Mobile Platform.
12. What process node does the chipset use?
Qualcomm specifies 3nm.

Qualcomm’s 3rd-generation Oryon CPU.

For the 4.6GHz platform variant, Qualcomm documents 2 Prime cores + 6 Performance cores, with the Performance cluster up to 3.62GHz.

Yes. That corresponds to Qualcomm’s 4.6GHz platform variant.
17. Which GPU does the phone use?
Official manufacturer-safe wording is Qualcomm Adreno GPU.
18. Should the listing say Adreno 840?
I would remove the numeric 840 designation. Qualcomm itself currently calls it simply its latest Adreno GPU.
19. Does it have dedicated AI acceleration?
Yes. Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 includes a Qualcomm Hexagon NPU and Qualcomm AI Engine.
20. Does the Xperia have advanced cooling?
Yes. Sony says the Xperia 1 VIII uses a vapor-chamber cooling system plus graphite heat dissipation for sustained performance.

28. Is the screen curved?
Sony does not describe the Xperia 1 VIII display as curved.
29. Should the MyWorldPhone ALT saying “curved display” remain?
No. I recommend removing “curved.” Your current gallery contains that wording.
30. Does Sony publish a screen-to-body ratio?
Not in the exact official specification I reviewed. I would remove the current ~86.5% figure rather than present a third-party calculation as a Sony spec.
Display color & image technology

34. Should the page simply say “1 billion colors”?
I would instead use Sony’s more precise wording: 10-bit color gradation.

Yes.
36. What is Sunlight Vision?
Sony lists Sunlight Vision as a display feature to improve viewing in bright conditions.
37. Does it have front and rear light sensors?

42. What is the official weight?
200g.

No. Sony treats Native Gold as one of the ORE mineral-inspired finishes.
47. What ingress protection does it have?
Sony specifies IPX5/IPX8 water resistance + IP6X dust resistance, commonly marketed by Sony as IP65/IP68.

I would emphasize Sony’s own 70mm telephoto / 140mm telephoto shooting wording instead of relying solely on a third-party zoom ratio.
Ultrawide camera

Again, 50MP full sensor / 48MP effective, with 12MP still-image output.
