Sony is better to concentrate on the features of their phones,not their names...Z,x,y,doesnt matter.Sonys mobile division is half dead,Sony still alive only,because of the Playstation sales.Their flagship phones offer waterproofing,and a nice design,for an astronomical price.Thats all.Compare it to an S7,or a G5,they are offering much more features,and they are CHEAPER...Joke...They have to cut their prices,if they wanna compete with their rivals.They have to some compromises,otherwise they not gonna survive.
Frankly, I wish they didn't make the back cover out of metal. I have XZ and I love the glass back. Had it for almost 3 years now and it never broke and I kinda dropped it a few times that I thought it won't survive. Not a scratch!
But I'm still planning on buying the X Performance ;)
As for the people complaining about service: I've bricked my first XZ in the first week trying to root it. It was my mistake and I know what I did wrong (I've installed a wrong module for Xposed Installer without recovery - still don't have recovery on rooted XZ).
Anyway, I went to the service center and told them I left it charging over night and the next day it was dead. I guess I bricked it so bad they couldn't tell so they gave me a brand new one. No extra money, nothing! They just asked me if I used it under water.
So quit lying that it has bad service!
If it were Sammy, I would of had to buy a brand new phone.
Sony on the verge of becoming Blackberry, Nokia...
Any predictions on how long will Sony mobile division last?
the tech nerd, 14 May 2016sony should fire their ceo and get new one,foolish price,good mobiles ,bad advertisingTheir CEO only likes to focus on the Play station business.

Why all X(s) have only 5 inch screen
"z" is actually a better name.
for me.. "x" is more like a 'porn' thing.

It's very weird to me that X Performance has metal back (which Sony likes to advertise) and jet frame is made out of the plastic. Somebody who wants budget phone for sure wont pay for X Performance, and yet someone who wants premium sure will distaste that plastic frame.
Soon, they will kill the uninspiring X series too.
They just chaged name from z to x.Whats all the fuzz about...
They should launch a phone under 250$ under the x branding with competitive specs to compete with xiaomi ,leEco and other Chinese manufacturers.
As if there will be a very big revolution apart from putting the phone in the water for hours and getting picture inside the Pool . :(
Innovation are limited now a days
Only innovation we see to day is the NEW MODEL NAMES :P
Let's see what Sony has to bring up. It isn't a good move judging a new series too early. It's like saying that Super AMOLED display is a bad display because it is just starting to evolve
Carmanen, 14 May 2016Having too many series of phones of one manufacturer is not good either (Samsung, Huawei etc.)... moreremember the time when Sony-Ericsson had X10 (hi-end) and X8 (low-end) phones?
so, it doesn't mean that X-series is a hi-end phones only.
AnonD-335162, 14 May 2016Z series had higher spec than X series. Shame on you sonySony is just starting this new series. Why are you judging already?
Is this the reason why?
