Together they make a brand new line\u00a0known as Xperia X. That&#8217;s good news to most people since they will have various\u00a0choices when considering buying\u00a0a Sony handset. Furthermore, the X models are designed more beautifully and equipped with powerful specifications.\u00a0What should we ask for more?<\/p>\n<p>However, we did not know that the appearance of the Xes will end the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pricepony.com.my\/blog\/top-5-sony-xperia-smartphones-of-2015-4k-display-23mp-3100-mah\/\" target=\"_blank\">Xperia Z<\/a> era. The company has confirmed there will not be any Sony Xperia Z6 at all. This piece of information was spotted under the form of a comment on Facebook written by <em>&#8220;the German arm of the Japanese company&#8221;<\/em>. The\u00a0X will replace the\u00a0Z. According to the translation of the comment, <em>&#8220;Z6 will not exist. The new X series is under a modified concept that meets the needs of our users even more accessible.&#8221;<\/em><\/p><div style=\"float: none; display: block; margin: 0 -10px; text-align: center;\"><!-- MY End of Content -->\n            <ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n                 style=\"display:inline-block;width:300px;height:250px\"\n                 data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4796993490224996\"\n                 data-ad-slot=\"7887885268\"><\/ins>\n            <script>(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});<\/script>\n            <!-- MY News Mobile Middle -->\n                                <ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n                                     style=\"display:inline-block;width:300px;height:250px\"\n                                     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4796993490224996\"\n                                     data-ad-slot=\"3890141663\"><\/ins>\n                                <script>\n                                (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n                                <\/script><\/div><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-17028 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.pricepony.com.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/maxresdefault3-e1456377199340.jpg\" alt=\"maxresdefault\" width=\"444\" height=\"250\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If so, we assume the Xperia X Performance powered by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pricepony.com.my\/blog\/first-5-flagship-smartphones-to-powered-by-premium-snapdragon-820-chip-set\/\" target=\"_blank\">Snapdragon 820<\/a> is one of the most important flagships of Sony this year, and the Xperia X and XA are its variants. That pretty makes sense; though, Sony fans may feel sad about it. On the other hand, we also wonder how they can continue the series with the name Xperia X Performance. It&#8217;s quite long!<\/p>\n<h3>Contractions are still there!<\/h3>\n<p>Still, we need something official from the firm because there have been many contradictions lately. For example, Sony&#8217;s Bulgarian Facebook account said the X series would be not a replacement but just a new line-up instead. Yet, in an interview with <i>uSwitch.com,\u00a0<\/i>Jun Makino, Senior Product Marketing Manager at Sony Mobile, mentioned that indeed there would\u00a0be no Xperia Z6. Perhaps everything has not been finalized yet.
