It's kinda funny to see Sony's efforts after all these years. Year after year fanboys would dream of Sony coming up with an outstanding phone that would trump its competitors, but that's never gonna happen.
The naming convention is idiotic; Z series convention was okay, but the new X series has only made things more confusing. X Performance, X, X Compact, XZ, XZs, XZ Premium, XA, XA Ultra, XA1, XA1 Ultra.. those names are just laughable. Why would anyone name a phone XZs?
Sony's camera performance is pathetic. It's been proved time and again, but aren't the Sony management people embarrassed that other OEMs are producing stellar results with the same sensors while Sony itself falls flat? It's high time Sony realized cramming 20.7/23/19 MP into a sensor isn't gonna magically produce good results.
Moving on to bezels, have you guys seen an XZ Premium and Galaxy S8+ side by side? The XZ Premium looks like it's from 2012. It's not like the stereo speakers make those bezels really worthy, cuz those stereo speakers aren't too loud. HTC flagships' speakers run circles around Xperia flagships' speakers.
The software is relatively closer to Vanilla Android, but those icons are ugly. And those huge navigation icons take up a lot of space on the display cutting down the info one can view on the display.
High prices - Sony makes two devices with crappy MediaTek SoCs and demands $300-400. And you guys wonder Sony is running out of the business.
The only saving grace of Xperia phones is software updates.
While your observations are indeed correct (I've been saying they should consolidate their lineup so its simpler, and indications are they are moving away from the commodity smartphone market and trying to be a bit more Apple-like), Sony aren't running out of the business. They're one of the few OEM's in the market making a profit. Sure they aren't making as much of a profit as Apple, but then nobody is. The key is, they are making a profit.

I don't think it's the XZ1 Compact, as I'm expecting them to stick with 720 x 1280 pixels. Neither would I bet on the X1, as the "Premium Standard" smartphones are discontinued. The XZ1 Ultra would logically have 2160 x 3840 pixels, otherwise it would be strange, as the XZ Premium already has it at 5.5". So, my guess is G83XX = XZ1. Also, the XZ is F83XX.
Now for the G34XX: As they announced the XA1 and the XA1 Ultra, my guess here would be it's from the L1 line. Maybe the L1 Ultra to complete the line?
Edit: XA (F31XX) -> XA Ultra (F32XX), XA1 (G31XX) -> XA1 Ultra (G32XX). L1 = G33XX, yup, pretty sure G34XX = L1 Ultra.
