So now preferences are in processors? What do you people do with them? Software is much more important

    Name Please, 17 May 2016I'm just wishing that they would do this. Although I agree ... moreI don't know what makes people to dream about Sony's price tag in this forum. A price tag of $200 for a 6 inch phone with 3GB RAM and MTK P10 chipset???? This is Sony, not Xiaomi for God's sake. Even Samsung will price this in $400 to $450 range except for the usage of different chipset instead of MTK.

    Mark my words - Sony will price this in $500+ range, much like XA AND wonder why they are unable to sell phones. A competitive price would be around $350 to $400, but i would also be dreaming if I expect that to happen.

      the only problem with sony fans is, they just shouts but never buys or upgrades their phones. that's why sony is still a failure. compare the amount of fans here to the actual devices sold . you will get a clear picture about what I am saying

        NOW!!! OPPO F1 PLUS is going down!!! Go Sony! Go Sony! I don't like OPPO. Looks like XA Ultra was the first smartphone that featured OIS on front camera. Good job! Last week, I'm not a big fans of Sony because Sony ended Xperia C's generation. Now I make U-Turn.

            Which makes ne wonder how apples smaller and no ois sensor in the same position protrudes

              Name Please, 17 May 2016I'm just wishing that they would do this. Although I agree ... moreG4? yeah it definitely better but this phone is not made to compete with flagships , and it's in completely different league to be a best selfie camera in the world LOL .

              thing that bugs me the most is that this seams as really thin phone and it has OIS in front camera but no protruding camera bump ? how did Sony achieved this ? I know that they where developing some kind of OIS for quite some time but is it this good ? anyway I can't wait to see the results :)

                Any update about the full specifications of this phone?

Although I agree that there's a less chance that Sony would do this. But maybe it would be around $300. The only thing that Sony needs to bear in mind is that this shouldn't cost more than $400 as there are many other options like the LG G4 which offers more for the same price

                    AnonD-442781, 17 May 2016It'll probably be around 320 dollars. I don't think its wor... moreWe're not sure yet though so I'd rather wait for its official pricing and release before judging. I don't think the Helio P10 would suck. Sony knows how to make MediaTek processors a beast. The Helio X10 isn't as powerful as some mid range SnapDragon processors, but the M5 proved that optimization is key instead of specs

                            Helio p10 just a bad choice. It should come at least with snapdragon 652 (for me i don't like other than SD SoC) The rest is fine and it's good buy, fast charging looks promising. For those who are daydreaming dreamed of price range under $300. Forget about it okay. You know you can't get any SONY X lines series with such that price. It's SONY phone, not an iPhone. iPhone so cheap nowadays.

                              Name Please, 17 May 2016You have any proof that it won't happen?Xperia C series had right pricing before and it was a really good choice for average consumer ,but not 200$ and certainly not this time with this awesome hardware. still nothing is impossible but it's very,very,very unlikely ! you can't eve get a Chinese phone with these specs for that money.

                                      Why they r launching phones when they don't want to sell it in Market.
                                      In MWC ,they hv launched X series .still not available anywhere.No wonder Sony is dying.And that is Only for their bad strategies.
                                      Firstly with Flagships in 6 months and now No availability of new phones till Half year.may b company CEO is interested Only in Sell of Whole Sony Mobile Division. Not in Sony Smart phones.
