[viridis]

3 new handsets coming in summer from Sony, Xperia xa, x, and X performance
X performance has
Snapdragon 820
23MP cam 13MP selfie cam
No more glass back
Still IP68
And looks like a Z3

More specs coming..

[MI5]

Yeah but O and X are universal and used the world over.
Look at any quality chart in a factory or other manufacturing location.

Prices for UK X series release.

Xperia X (Black) – £549.99

Xperia X (Rose Gold) – £549.99

Xperia XA (Black) – £279.99

Xperia XA (Lime Gold) – £279.99

Xperia XA (White) – £279.99

(from Amazon pre order page Btw, Sony is still yet to release direct pricing and networks obviously vary)

[Cleoriff]

Is the XA a mini variation? Oh and sorry...LIME GOLD???

[viridis]

No, not mini. Just lower cpu speed and a few other things you'd find on a mid range.
Tbh tho, it's the only one that has the edge to edge screen, God knows why Sony still haven't put that tech in the flagships....... Yet.

What are your thoughts on the prices viridis?

[viridis]

XA is good price.
X is the Z3+ of 2016 so it won't matter.
Its a worthy upgrade from Z3/+ but is not intended for those with Z5.

[viridis]

X now 499
XA now 239

I really wanted the X Performace why are they not going to offer it in UK thats just terrible. Wonder if I can buy it elsewhere and get it unlocked to work on UK networks, I realy dont like the other models due to the slower processor.

[MI5]

Lots of places will sell it already unlocked, online.
