q8peace, 25 Feb 2016dont forget now samsung are using z series in there tizen p... moreit is not copying since Samsung almost used all of the latin alphabet as their series standard divisions code name. furthermore it is might also help to boost their (Sony) popularity as if the user find what's behind on that name(Samsung Z?). LOL ¿Samsung Z = Sony Z?

      - Xperia X is priced at 599.
      - X Performance is priced at --699--. THere's nothing mid-range about that.

        They said same thing for Z series also. Adapting Camera, Display and Sound technology to Z series.

            Jumbo, 25 Feb 2016Except X-series is lacking in some features compared to Z-s... moresony said before they only produce high end phones and less mid-range or low-end phones in 2016 ...


            They replace "Z" series with "X" series

            they will announce some new flagship in IFA maybe xperia X premium or xperia X ultra ...

            Actually sony new strategy is combine of samsung and apple strategy i think :)

                This X Performance is NOT Sonys flagship
                It lacks some z series features
                And its priced at 600€
                Z5 was 700€
                So, not a new flagship
                This is Sonys acclaim, "look competitors, our top midranger is giving a hardtime to your flagships"

                    Sad day for Sony fanboys. But anyway a good thing. They like to brag their Z series too much.

Basically Sony are saying they won't produce high-end flagships anymore, which is one thing but why try to still charge the high-end prices then?? I'm really worried about my next phone now, can't see where it might come from. :/

                              Z failed :/ Bring in agent X instead, let's see how far he gets.

                                Don't worry. They still will keep the Z line up to date software wise. They're just going to stop making Z phones.

                                  Well, there goes Z series. The only smartphone with 4K display just got discontinued. Technology have reached its limit. Waiting for 4K display coming back from other brand then.

                                      If Sony discontinue Z series then what about up gradation of different Z series set to Marshmallow ? Will this be discontinued too ? But Sony promised to upgrade some Z series set to Marshmallow. Please let me know if any one has the answer.

                                        It is shame, that Sony didn't quite get the camera department of Z series up to the par of other brands' standards, given Sony's image in that particular corner of technology. Not even close, really. Plus the price of the phones and Z-s were doomed from the beginning. That's my opinion.
