vivo X Fold5 specs leak, and yes it's called X Fold5 not X Fold4
vivo launched the X Fold3 and X Fold3 Pro in March of last year, and it's now apparently working on a successor, but there are two twists here. First, rumor has it there won't be two book-style foldables from vivo this year, just one. Second, it will be called X Fold5, and not X Fold4 as you may have expected - blame tetraphobia.
A leak today says the X Fold5 will come with an 8.03-inch foldable AMOLED screen with "2K+" resolution and 120 Hz refresh rate, a 6.53-inch LTPO OLED cover display with 120 Hz refresh rate, and a 6,000 mAh battery with support for 90W wired and 30W wireless charging. vivo X Fold3 Pro
Interestingly, the phone is said to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC, just like the X Fold3 Pro, and not the Snapdragon 8 Elite for some reason. This will be paired with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage.
The X Fold5 will allegedly sport a 50 MP main camera with Sony's IMX921 sensor, a 50 MP ultrawide with autofocus for macro shots, and a 50 MP periscope telephoto with 3x optical zoom using the Sony IMX882 sensor. For selfies there will be two 32 MP shooters, one for each screen.
The device has a side-mounted fingerprint scanner embedded in the power button, a three-stage Alert Slider, and an IP rating that isn't known just yet. It will be 4.3 mm thick when unfolded and 9.33 mm thick when folded.
So it looks like the X Fold5 will be a thinner X Fold3 Pro with a tweaked telephoto camera and a 300 mAh bigger battery. These specs are said to be for the global model, which first of all tells us that there will be one (it's not always a given with Chinese foldables as you may know), but also that there could be a differently-specced Chinese version on the way too. Unfortunately, today's rumor hasn't revealed the phone's launch timeframe. vivo X Fold3 Pro

This flagship phone checks almost every box, so why does it feel like a farewell?
One of the more quiet phone manufacturers on the market is undoubtedly Sony. The company has stuck to a formula that has garnered a few loyal followers throughout the years, but never has it ascended to a level of popularity that can rival the rest of the big players like Samsung, Google, Apple. Or even Motorola and recently reviewed the Xperia 1 VII, which is packed with cool and practical features, some of which have long been dropped by other brands. But Sony was especially subtle about this release. Not to mention that the phone has some all too familiar stumbles, giving the sense that Sony's mobile division is standing still, lacking the motivation to improve and what exactly is going on with Sony's latest flagship? And why does this moment feel more than just another Xperia launch? One of the best displays on the market! | Image by PhoneArena Sony's dedication to hardware quality is unquestionable. Like previous generations, the Xperia 1 VII features a striking 6.5-inch 4K OLED display with Creator Mode for accurate color work, a feature content creators can genuinely benefit from. Our testing confirms its brightness and calibration are top-tier, competing with the best displays on the market. Audio is equally impressive. The front-facing speakers deliver punchy, full-bodied sound, and the phone retains a 3.5mm headphone jack — a rarity in today's flagship world. Paired with support for high-resolution audio and LDAC, the Xperia 1 VII is clearly tuned for media consumption and enthusiast-first touches extend to the inclusion of a microSD card slot and a tactile two-step camera shutter button. This makes the phone one of the few remaining high-end devices that still supports hardware features others have long since abandoned at this price range. Performance-wise, the Xperia 1 VII did not disappoint us either. It runs on the Snapdragon 8 Elite, and benchmark tests show it can trade blows with devices like the Galaxy S25 Ultra. Battery life is solid, too, especially given the phone's compact form and high-resolution display. Besides the screen, the camera system should be this phone's other strong point, but it's not. | Image by PhoneArena Despite its admirable hardware, the Xperia 1 VII continues to stumble on the same issues that have plagued Sony's phones for camera, for one, continues to be a weird letdown. Despite housing impressive sensors and a clever true zoom lens, the results are inconsistent. In our review of the Xperia 1 VII, we noted visible sharpening artifacts, poor HDR stitching, and a lack of stabilization options in video recording. This wouldn't be so problematic if Sony wasn't marketing the phone primarily to creators and camera enthusiasts. But when a €1,499 phone captures photos that are merely 'OK,' especially compared to other phones in this segment, it's hard to justify that price updates are another weak link. Sony has increased the support window to four years of OS updates and six years of security patches for the Xperia 1 VII, the company tends to be sluggish when it comes to update rollout — a longstanding frustration for Xperia there's the price and availability. The Xperia 1 VII launches at €1,499 in Europe and skips the U.S. entirely. For the second year running, Sony has failed to secure a carrier partnership in the United States — a market that remains essential for premium phone sales. The lack of subsidies or carrier support makes the Xperia line nearly invisible to mainstream buyers. And bundling the phone with expensive Sony headphones in some regions doesn't really help much, you don't want a new pair. LG went out with a bang with its final phone release — the LG Wing. | Image by PhoneArena Sony's current mobile trajectory eerily mirrors LG's in its final years. LG, too, built well-specced phones with features that appealed to enthusiasts — wide-angle cameras, headphone jacks, Quad DACs. But it failed to deliver compelling software, fell behind in camera post-processing, and never truly fixed its update strategy. Over time, its flagships grew expensive without offering enough to justify their cost, especially with no real carrier presence in key markets like the U.S. Sony appears to be on the same trajectory. Both companies also relied too heavily on hardware differentiation while underestimating the role of software and ecosystem in modern smartphones. LG tried to innovate with devices like the LG Wing or LG Velvet, but consumer interest had already died out, and those special features were seen more as gimmicks than the next big thing. If Sony isn't careful, it could reach that same tipping point. The company continues to double down on its flagship phones as the best creator's tool to go alongside professional equipment, but even the target audience doesn't seem to be too enthusiastic about what Sony is selling. It is starting to look like it is… | Image by PhoneArena A recent report that comes straight from Sony's home country, Japan, and it stated that the company will be turning over production of its flagship phones to third-party manufacturers. The Xperia 1 VII is the first to be assembled by a third its limited market presence, shrinking global share (below 1%), and reduced lineup (the Xperia 5 and Xperia 10 lines may be dead), outsourcing could be the prelude to a soft exit. Much like LG gradually downsized before pulling the plug entirely, Sony seems to be shrinking its footprint year by has not officially announced plans to quit the smartphone business. But its actions speak volumes. No U.S. launch. No marketing push. Outsourced production. A price that discourages mainstream adoption. All signs suggest that Sony is keeping the Xperia line on life support rather than investing in its revival. The Xperia 1 VII may not be a bad phone — in fact, it's quite good in many ways — but it exists in a vacuum. For most buyers, it's invisible. And for the few who notice, it's hard to recommend over more polished, widely available alternatives. The report from Japan describes the shift to a third-party manufacturer as a 'long-term strategy,' which leads me to believe that the Xperia 1 VII won't be the last phone we see from Sony. However, it might be the first step towards that happening.
