I was referring to the rest of their products, the break between announcements and availability went down a lot from the older days but seems the trend is coming back.
I agree not a flagship, but makes you wonder what Sony can stick into the next flagship to differentiate it much.

I know, my point that they didn't stop that habit, they just focused to speed things up for some models specially flagships...
I can see that Xperia X dual sim version comes with FHD, 3GB, 64GB internal + microsd slot.. so can we assume Sony will move things up in their flagship ? like QHD, 4GB, 64GB + microSD for Z6 & UHD for Z Premium.. or maybe even Z6 comes with 32GB while the premium comes with 64GB...

Xperia X Performance...
Sony; why you no give us 64GB (or more) internal storage?
This is obviously not a flagship device. Hopefully they'll announce a flagship (Z6) at IFA2016?

Well, good specs for a midrange. Don't know if you guys remember but I was constantly saying that they should release X Y Z series. Guess they listened (constantly messaged them via LinkedIn).
Great moves. Now they should release the flagship with force touch in Summer. They have the upper hand.

Yeah that's what I thought until I saw the recommended prices... ~700 euros here in Sweden (for performance)

These are midrange phones, I expect them to be a lot cheaper than the S7 and G5. 820 in a midrange phone which has the internals of a Z5, yes it can be considered lazy but its a very good device, it should have excellent all round performance and people can't whinge since its not a flagship. Last year's flagship specs are this year's midrange which is great quality for the consumer. Its smart, the portfolio is smaller with a more unified design, fresh look and quality feel. Even the XA has a very nice design for a low end, these X phones are not going to outsell the S7 or break records, far from that but lets look at the bigger picture:
- Sony has changed the design, looks good with slim SIDE bezels, metal back
- UI has been updated a lot in terms of design
- All have good quality camera sensors
- Lots of people are praising the high specs for a midrange, increasing interest in what the Z6 will be like so I would expect better specs than the X Performance and a new design with small bezels and stuff
Sony will have yearly flagships so expect the new Z around IFA. Its pointless to compare to the S7 because it is the pinnacle of Samsung development and it looks pretty much flawless, it will sell like crazy and Samsung are rightfully king of Android. They have great momentum and keep using that to stay ahead. LG did something great with the G5 too. I still feel that the Z5P was the best device of last year and even if anyone makes a device better than the Samsung flagship, it'll be a while before they can surf that wave that Samsung is on top of. Round of applause to everyone.

By the way, I really hoped for a Tablet. Think we'll see one this year?

man....Sony is asking 600 EUR for a midrange device. That is insane. The S7 and LG G5 will cost the same say.

In regard to "x performance", it is a z5 refresh but sony with their marketing team thinks that they can confuse us. Sony thinks that we need another flagship refresh but we don't, not when z5 is on the market, not when in september they are going to announce a new trio of flags including a main size one, not when they are going to launch it only in a few months when it is already irrelevant device now but will be even more irrelevant in a few months and not when they ask for a flagship price tag. Sony is digging their own grave slowly but surely.
I have no prob with the x and xa if priced right. xa design is pretty cool and refreshing.
What should have happened, 2 options:
1. Announce x and xa at mwc and leave the high ends compact, main and premium for ifa.
2. Announce the x and xa whenever, announce the main or main and compact at mwc and the premium or premium and compact at ifa.
In either case, a half a year high end refresh should only appear inside of japan where japanese ask for it.
@thetube
It appears that sony gave up on the z tablet line, at least for this year. Though nobody can blame them.

I am kind of worried about Sony dropping the Z series. About the metal back, I would have preferred the same sturdy and grippy plastic back on the Z4 tablet. Brushed look is outdated. It's nice for a midrange but as I said x performance might be the new flagship.
For the second half, if I were the one calling the shots, I would release a 6 inch Z premium insanely thin, 4K, fingerprint sensor embedded into the screen, latest SoC, same RAM with the Note 6, and the grippy back
. I think people would buy it.
And force touch of course.

The XP will mix it with the S7 and G5 performance-wise, it should be cheaper which is its greatest advantage. People will see similar levels of performance to those flagships and be impressed, mainly because the SD820 is excellent. Its not expected to trump them but I'm adamant that it will impress even in the camera department. Lower expectations mean a bigger surprise. Also, The XA with its big chin looks great in person and feels nice in the hand.
