That works. Thanks @MI5 

Those phones look great @Bambino. I expect they will be out of my price range though. I shall stick with my Note 8

I'm going to buy my next phone at trade price from O2 Recycle....

Well I am quite looking forwards to seeing (read as playing) one to compare to the X1 which I currently use, lots of info I've still got to read up on regarding some features and stuff but yeah they look proper nice.. especially that Xperia Pro with it's very unique hdmi input, yes INPUT allowing direct connection to such equipment as cameras, video recording equipment and.. err drones 😉.
Only problem there is that I'm not sure what markets are getting the pro and can't find out either as the Sony mobile forum is on limp home mode until the transition to the new community is complete. So unlike before I couldn't put up one of my usual "this is.... " Posts as I got no info nor press media images, except the stuff that went into the main Sony electronics site earlier.

I can never tell with Sony which is an old or a new model these days... can't they be like everyone and stick to a numbered/lettered order

@Anonymous they are now numbered similar to the camera range. Keeps everything nice and.. err simple.

Myself I think they should've just kept the Z line and not caused irreparable brand confusion with the Z3-Z5-X-XZ sequece
