Honestly, I think they did the right thing except for the late release date.
It would have been too early for a flagship. Sony has a different flagship release cycle than the rest. They could have named it z5+ but for some reason they didn't.
Sony has limited resources right now and it's impossible to go head to head with Samsung even Lg's G5 is in a pretty bad position right now against Samsung. Sony has to be careful and I think by announcing these phones as X series, they want to keep their fans/sony followers

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.
Cheaper? Lol
I'm willing to bet it will be close to S7 pricing.
Sony phones aren't particularly cheap on launch

The Galaxy S7 has a custom camera module made by Sony called IMX260. Wonder if are going to see it in Xperia devices too.

With a sure high end price tag, a launch only after 4 months, a flagship device already on market (z5), an upcoming new main flag announcement at september's ifa and the inability to truly compete against the biggest rivals sony is just making 100% sure that this so called "x performance" device (z5 refresh) is a sure certified fail. I find nothing good about this but getting some coverage from the media to let the world know that you are not dead. This is survival mode at best. Hopefully they will outdo themselves and truly deliver with ifa 2016 trio announcement.

Is the Z6 still a certainty? If not, the X Performance is a poor stand-in.

I feel the same. With such a late release date and a high-end price tag to a phone that lacks bells and whistles but doesn't lack in pretty thck bezels. This phone is doomed before it hits the market.

So how much does it cost? Right....let the XP reviews come in before branding it an instant fail. So far there are people on the MWC floor saying the camera on the S7 is like the second coming of Jesus while others say its worse than the S6, who knows until someone does a proper review. Sometimes you need to flush out the mental toilet otherwise you get a pile up of poo with a smell that affects everyone.

That could be it.
What on earth made them think announcing a phone 4months before its release is a good idea. It's so frustrating to see them make such stupid mistakes.
They could blow billions of $s on the marketing campaign but the timing will be truly off.
Oh Sony.
