Yes this morning.
Not sure if z line is gone but the x series is a low end, a mid range and a performance model, ties in with sonys market reduction

X

X performance

Metal back

They now have rounded glass

Cleoriff · ‎22-02-2016

Any technical reason for a metal back?

"Rounded Glass" - they now seem to be copying the Chinese copies lol

Don't know yet, I'm waiting to read the white paper and make an informed decision, on first glance tho...
It's the same guts as a Galaxy s7 but with less wow factor. Depending on the media features and PlayStation features it could sway me.

Here's a summary of the specs from phonearea.com:

The corners seem to be solid again rather than having the bump corners like the Z5.

Would be interesting to see the pricing points on these to compare against the LG/Samsung offerings from yesterday...
