Sony has assured Xperia fans that there will be no change in status for the Xperia phones, despite the recent partnership with TCL for the Bravia TV brand. However, the IMEI database reveals the existence of the Sony Xperia 1 VIII and Xperia 10 VIII models, which are set to replace the Xperia 1 VII and Xperia 10 VII. This development comes as a surprise to many, as it marks the third generation without an Xperia 5 model. The Xperia 1 VIII and Xperia 10 VIII are expected to feature a single nano-SIM slot and an eSIM, but the exact specifications and launch date remain unconfirmed. The model names, such as PM-152X-BV and PM-153X-BV, are as cryptic as ever, leaving fans to speculate about the future of the Xperia line. What do you think about the future of Xperia phones? Do you agree or disagree with Sony's decision to skip the Xperia 5 model?
