Sony Phones

Would some care to explain what the latest models are.

My trusty Z3 compact has bit the dust, but looking at the websites the number system has now be removed and i cant make head or tale what is the latest phone to replace the z3 with.

Z5, z5 premium or z5c are the latest

Have you thought about the s7? Would be a good replacement

X suceeded the Z series although honestly they're not exactly that great. Sony phones aren't really worth considering any more as they seem to be changing their mobile focus.

There is the upcoming X Compact though which seems to be coming out at the same time as the XZ, which from rumours sounds decent enough if you're after a phone under 5". It should be as good as the Z5c.

Thankyou,

Will hang onto the X compact, yes its mainly a size thing, sits in the bike leathers easier.

Are they making an X compact? I would just get the z5c, great phone when i had it.

Yeah they are and it's going to be announced at the IFA 2016 along with the new Sony flagship. It's going to be powered by a SD820 which is much better than the SD810 so I'd hold fire on the Z5c and get the X Compact instead.

Would be interesting to get someone from Sony's marketing team to explain this!

Problem: Not selling enough phones.
Answer: Make the model designations so confusing that not even tech nerds know what's going on !!

the latest xperia x is a z5 without the waterproofing.

^It's also got an different SoC to the Z5. The X has a SD650 and the X Performance uses a SD820 which is being used in nearly all 2016 flagships.
