    With the original Xperia XZ at $315 sale in Amazon right now, these new devices seem unnecessary.

    The XZ is better in every single spec. I have been very happy with mine.
    fHD display
    3GB of RAM
    64GB of storage (+ 128GB or microSD)
    dual SIM (shared with SD)
    bettery back and front cameras
    IR / color sensor
    bigger battery
    Snapdragon 820

    the only thing missing is FM-connectivity though

      Anonymous, 27 Oct 2017what the hell are u talking with samsung and iPhone? btw... moreI do agree with everything EXCEPT the LG G4. LG G4 was their largest Debacle with their bootloop issue. the G5 was fine as long your nephew didn't play too much with the modules. so I'd recommend with utter importance. STAY AWAY FROM LG G4!! please!

            btw LG Q6 has way better design even though it also isn't a good deal. I don't know why people never consider old flagships in this price range, because the competing mid range phones there (if they aren't called Xiaomi) are total waste. This is a prime example: Still unbearably slow processor, plastic ugly design and no fingerprint, while a comparably priced Xperia Z3 has much better design, screen, camera and all that. If we stay with those brands, LG G3 is about the same story, or HTC One M8, or Galaxy S5, or iPhone 5s. And if you can stand used phones (from trusted resellers), you can even get much greater phones in good condition like Xperia Z5, LG G4, HTC 10, Galaxy S6, iPhone SE...

                      After used fir 3.5years sony battery still flat not like samsung (2y Maxx), iphone 8 (2m maxx)
                      Faster update, no burn in lcd, noice problem like pixel2

                        Anonymous, 27 Oct 2017If you put the sd835 inside the XA1 it becomes better than ... moreWould they use only, 4K capable one, more capable camera ui, it would be better. Note that some camera capabilities I miss even in premium(compared to pixel, v30, 950). But things like fingerprint is quite important, would be one hell of device, without some sort of ID scanner(iris/face/fingerprint) its garbage, its like quality before safety. I wouldn't buy today mid-range without that.

                          Sony s quality degrading year by year I have bought xperia x and sold it after 4months with several issues like overheating, average battery life,brightness reduced automatically in manual mode when heating and camera quality is also not up to mark

                              I see they want a piece of the Indian market share. But what's exciting about those specs at that price?

                                Maybe this just some experiment by sony to try sd chip on midrange,thats why it wont available world wide,maybe next years sony start using sd chip on mid range widely..

                                  For those that would never buy a Sony ( samsung and motorola users) and still complain.

                                  The next Premium will have 80% screen, front speakers and still 16:9 screen. No need of useless gimmick 2:1.

                                    Also power saving wont save you from everything.
                                    Point of not bringing anything exciting, besides slight camera improvement, is what make sony stay behind competitors. Its not amount o phones, would be better they would bring some xa line there&globally.
