mmm... the Z5 will be so affected by this. It might even appreciate? It will be selling like crazy... being the "Last of the Z's"... its price wont be dropping any time soon.
Im thinkin, all this might be a marketing tactic? Tell the public that there will be no z6, then monitor the market, gauge how people will react to the new X series. Then if people dont buy X... make and release a z7! People will call it a 'comeback' product and Sony will reap the rewards.
I think Sony needs to do some 'damage control', the Z's name was tarnished during that naming disaster. When the Z3 was sold as the Z4 and vice versa - rather than figure things out, people just stayed away. Then came that snapdragon overheating disaster... and one of their solutions was not to exceed a certain number of minutes of video taking to prevent it from overheating? Its like Apple telling its customers - "You're holding it wrong!" Again, most people just stayed away.
So if the Z is gone, noone will remember those "disasters" it had.... Sony's image will be eventually be restored. "Saving face" is a big thing in Japan.
I hope Sony will surprise us with a new "Z" some years from now... fans will be ecstatic! Remember what happened when the new Camaro and Mustang was revised and was sold again? It sold thousands upon thousands on the first year! So if the car companies can do it.. why not Sony? It may loose sales now... but it can always come back with a great phone.
cheers!

The thing is, sonymobile, a company that exists since 2012 can't make excuses anymore, lets look the truth in the eye:
1. They can't truly compete with non of the known brands like samsung, apple and lg and it does not seem like they ever will.
2. They can't compete with the chinese manufacturers that bring top line spec flagships with fast software and premium design in half the price of the known brands flagships and it does not seem like they ever will.
3. Regardless if they announce higher top end devices at ifa, the X series is an insult to consumers and criticism and fans because it maintains sony's chronic problems. The change from z to x further reinforce this insult. That is definitely not how you debut a new mobile series of devices to the world after you axed the previous one that started 3 years ago (!) and that you were so proud of, invested in it and hyped it with your marketing and buzz words. I doubt that they even believe what they say to the public in their heart.
At this stage sony simply keep performing "harakiri". For japanese honor. X series is just more noticeable proof after the z5 series. It is a lost battle and if they care about the division then they need to wake up fast from their sleep before the ship sinks completely like the titanic.
My conclusion: At least for the coming years, sony mobile need to stop making mobile phones and focus on mobile gadgets/tablets/peripherals/mobile chips, etc. X series just further strengthen my conclusion. Will ifa announced devices change my conclusion (if they even exist)? I doubt it.

Whilst Sony XperiaX series isn't replacing XperiaZ6 ; equivalent is due release at IFA2016 . Suggest you skip the XperiaXperformance !

Fine. But is the Xperia X Performance really "mid-range" ?

i doubt even xperia x is a midranger, it's price is 599 euro..
i think xperia x is the new flagship with midrange cpu...that's why they couldnt talk loudly about x range...

They probably will announce one or two bigger phones later this year for IFA? I think that could work.

Glad you like yours, but the one I played with certainly didn't seem that well built, and looking at CrackBerry Forums that seems to be the trend, it seems the battery life also isn't on par with other flagships.
It's just not a device I'd recommend to anyone other than to someone coming from another BlackBerry looking for some familiarity.
the main positive point in any BB is the safety
but anyway . i already bought Z5 premium Silver as my farewell SONY device and pre order Meizu PRO 5 Ubuntu Edition fresh OS , and i love this amazing OS
on another side note

Cualcomm 820 is not a midrange cpu, don't make stupid comments about that becouse exynos is faster doesnt say a thing.
Xperia X performance is all about performance not just banchmarking competition like Samsung does, even mij old Xperia Z1 run very smooth even smooter tan a Galax S4 and thats is a fact, Sammboys always benchmark obession fanatic, Samsung know that
