Hopefully to see SMC introduces couple new devices
XA and XA Ultra (P20/4GB)
X Performance+ (SD821/4GB)
SMC should keep X for Computex (Taiwan event late May) and equipped new SD660
in order to make 2017 portfolio in premium tier 14/16/10 nanometer chipset family

IIRC Qualcomm will exclusively supply Samsung with the 835 until April 2017. Only after the release of the Galaxy S8 the chips will also be sold to other manufacturers.

On the subject of bezels, it seems like every flagship will have minimal bezels all the way round the device. Regardless of whether people like curved screens or whatever, the Sony flagship has to have an eye-catching design. I think the XZ footprint could easily be reduced and waterproofing is no excuse because everyone has achieved compact devices with this feature. For me a phone has to have some bezel for comfort but not so much top and bottom. A part of me says that the XZ2 will be very similar to the XZ and that the XZ Premium will have the same look. I don't see why there needs to be another X or X Performance because both flopped, just have XZ, Compact, Premium and Ultra. Keep the XA and XA Ultra but either make them cheaper or bump their specs up, if these were waterproof and had a midrange SD procesor then I'd take them over the flagship for sure.

Top bezel has nothing to do with water proofing .it,s for the camera sensor.but overall the design isn't very popular.(not my opinion,I love it)

Well all phones can do most things as well as each other and share most of their internals so how else can you differentiate? Design suddenly becomes very important. The Galaxy S8 and G6 look like they'll have a weird aspect ratio screen so I wonder if apps will be shrunk to fit or whether videos will have big black borders etc. As nice at they may look the functionality needs to be considered but not at the cost of aesthetics. XZ does look nice but curved screens and no bezel make phones look modern or futuristic. The XZ volume rocker needs to move back to the top as well, that really bugs me. Its time for a bold change, perhaps we need another Arc design.

As a side note, as far as I know the lack of availability of SnapDragon 835 is more than likely because Samsung have basically locked down all of the available stock in the first half of 2017.
