The OmniBalance design remained intact, as did the side fingerprint sensor on both the X and X Performance but the new design gave Xperia a new lease of life.Įnter the Xperia XZ where Sony changed things up again, well a little. The rear material moved from glass to metal and the result was fabulous.
XZ PREMIUM RELEASE DATE SERIES
The start of the Xperia X series took the Z5's design and runs with it. A fingerprint sensor was added to the signature side power button that changed shape from circular to a flatter oblong and overall, the Xperia Z design improved significantly. The Xperia Z5 changed things up a little, moving away from rounded edges to flatter and squarer. Yes, things got a little slimmer and overall a little better looking, but the general scheme of things remained the same. Just like its release cycles, Sony has been pretty consistent with its design, especially across the Xperia Z1, Xperia Z2, Xperia Z3 and Xperia Z3+ devices. The devices had 3 October on their screens in the press conference but whether this will be the launch date or not is unclear. Sony has yet to detail how much the Xperia XZ will be available for, but it has said both devices will hit shelves in October. There is some logic however, even if based on the specs, we'd say it would have made more sense to say the Xperia XZ name was to represent the joining of the "X" range and "Z" range. The Xperia XA is supposed to represent the lower end of the X series, the X the middle-end and the XZ the top end, moving from A to Z, though we don't know why X wasn't therefore named XM or something. What we do know for sure is Sony loves the alphabet. Then Sony officially announced the Xperia XZ and it all made sense, sort of. This was because despite us knowing the "X" range was Sony's future, there was no clear naming pattern in the X smartphones that had already launched. There were several rumours surrounding the name of the next Xperia flagship - F8331 and Xperia XR - in the run up to its announcement. Why has Sony called its next flagship the Xperia XZ? Here is everything you need to know about Sony's 2016 flagship handset. Sony announced a new range of smartphones at MWC back in March called the X Series, as well as confirming in a statement that the "Z line has reached its culmination" and the "X series represents a new chapter".īye, bye Xperia Z5, hello Xperia XZ. No, no, it is in fact going by the name Xperia XZ. It will probably come as no surprise to Sony Mobile fans but the company's new device isn't called the Xperia Z6. (Pocket-lint) - Sony has announced its new flagship at consumer electronics show IFA.
