Mediatek mt6732 and mt6735 are about faster than the similarly specced Snapdragon 410, but costs much less. Only issue is lack of custom ROM support.
Helio P10 competes with Snapdragon 617, but beats the crap out of it. 617 costs more, keep in mind

This phone costs like 299 euros and thats like 15000 or less in our country. That already is a very decent price for a phone that feels like a flagship and designed like a flagship. Performance is not an issue because its an xperia. Trolls please! Go buy your chinas

another issue is the battery is never enough to keep the juice running, except in one or two xperia. always underpowered,and covered with software gimmicks like stamina..... which does work but why not just give a bigger battery too??

Anonymous, 21 May 2016Which is better xa,vivo v3 or j7 2016.. I want a true suggestionCompare it n see, u will get ur answer, Sam and Sony are branded products but not vivo. For me display, camera, design and battery matters. Xa is the best in these categories. See and beleive it. Last but not least, the Xperia UI is enhanced alottt and still Sony is enhancing. Sony is best for me..

Sony ceased support for Z and Z1. Why? Because it has reached the end of life. It will work well in Marshmallow, but technically, it wouldn't be worth it for Sony. They have to focus on their current flagship series.

Mediatek lacks modding support but that isn't a huge thing is it? I wouldn't waste my time flashing a custom ROM for a phone at the XA price range.
Asking for Marshmallow for a phone like T2 ultra and M2 aqua is too much. These phones can't even properly handle Lollipop. Users must consider themselves lucky to have got two major updates for their phones.
Also, updating a old phone like M2 wouldnt be worth it for Sony.

Anonymous, 20 May 2016Its up to the manufacturer whether or not to update their m... moreYes. That's exactly my point. Let's take M2 and T2 Ultra for example. Started from 4.3, and then 4.4, and now 5.1. If the term "end of life" doesn't exist, Sony could give them 6.0. But still, even if both reach their EoL, we can just unlock the bootloader and flash CM13 or something to get 6.0. And so on and so on as long as the ROM available. With mediatek, can we do the same?
