    Their new phone XP design is only M4 aqua with little refinement, cost cutting!. They only change glass back with metal.

      So I see Sony is still clueless as ever. As someone who was inspired by Japanese technology back in the 90s and early 2000s lets just say this is painful to watch..

        As expected on every Sony posts, being swarmed by envious and hate comments, not to mention those trolls and fanboys from Samsung and other brands. I know what u feel but you guys have to move on. Sony will still be in the mobile world for now. Doesn't like Sony? Then don't. It's ironic how Sony really gets into ur nerves. Hahaha. Envious and hate comments are irrelevant. And most of you are bashing just for the sake of having something to say, aye!

        Well at least now Sony is dropping the prices quickly. Currently using z3 as secondary and s6 edge as my primary phone.

We literally had to press the camera unit back to it's place! Does Sony have ANY quality control or is this the Z2 all over again? I mean the gaps between display and the bezels and also on near the camera. A struggling company should focus on high quality to survive.

                  AnonD-135543, 01 Aug 2016So you are one of the Sony fans. You paid a hefty sum to bu... moreMy Z1 is still going strong after almost three years, and I see no other phone with a reasonable price that would be a clear upgrade over it. I live in Brazil and paid about R$1900 for the phone during Black Friday 2013 and the best phone under R$2k now is the LG G4, which is over one year old and has no waterproofing and awful development, so I can't call it a full upgrade.

And my wife owns a M4 Aqua, even worse phone than my One M8 was and that's a big achievement. In a bad way, of course.

                        Also one thing we should never forget that premium or not,oncethe sales are not as expected,Sony will lower the prices..The XA Ultra in India was launched for 30000 but now it has come down to 27300,and that too in one week's time..Ha ha

                          Hmmm...A good choice,of course.More profit without much hardwork...
                          I am very much sad seeing all these comments.
                          Why is it Sony only who has to be criticized.I understand you are not happy with Sony and you want it to be gone forever.But still you waste your so valuable time writing crap about sony(cough!sarcasm)
                          kudos to you all...
                          Moreover,we should never forget the good ol saying NOTHING LASTS FOREVER..Nothing,nobody did..Htc Sony had their times..Now it is the chineses' turn to flourish.But it does not mean that you have to rub it in their faces

                                Sony is pretty soon worst than HTC.

                                Sony not digging 6 feet under grave but instead 60 feet. Permanently buried forever and ever.
