I feel a bit like the call to end of Z series and this so called phase 2 of their strategy was a bit more abrupt than expected within Sony Mobile. Which in turn has led to n horribly painful transition year.
I hope next year sees the true start of Sony's new direction.
Personally, I'm in the situation where I have a Z5 Premium and everything on the market now looks like a step down, although I admit I've not seen/felt XZ in person. It reminds of the period of Aino and Satio where things sligtly dipped as they prepared themselves to launch into androids.
I have a dig bick
You read that wrong | |

If I were you, I still would stick to your Z5 Premium.
As an owner of the XZ I want more of it, especially in the camera department where Sony usually lag behind.
The design according to me has some flaws as well.

I had a good weekend with the XZ and its a great phone but again, too small an increment to splash so much cash. It does make me very optimistic about its successor because in terms of software and performance it is at the top with the iPhone 7. I'm rocking a Z5 and I don't believe the XZ is more than 25% an improvement, with the Android N update coming I think the Z5 and Premium will become even better. Camera need improving still but against the S7 Edge, UI and gaming for the XZ was faster loading and lag free, only the iPhone 7 has smoother gaming than it. My one issue is that it looks like the curved front glass scratches more readily, the Z5 screen is ever so slightly recessed so it doesn't scratch.
I'm looking forward to SD830, possible dual camera or the legendary curved sensor on the next device, more alkelido and hopefully a waterproof Compact. The XZ is excellent but I know they can do more and that device will be great. |

 For me, I'd be more interested abt the screen size and design. Why does sony put the dual camera in a mid-range phone instead of top-ended. Would it be the SM11 btw

Does any of those code names refers to the IFA flagship? |

Hope it's not a repost
http://www.xperiablog.net/201[....]-spotted-sony-g3112-and-g3121/
Little can be gleaned from the model numbers (G3112 and G3121) themselves, as Sony doesn’t always follow the same pattern. But this year, the F31XX was the Xperia XA. So we could be seeing a mid-range 2017 equivalent with the G31XX. Time will tell, but we’ll bring you more news as we have it |

Anytime between now and December for the 2017 thread. Who's going to volunteer and go on the list of Esato Rumourmongers?
I think I'd settle for another Xperia Compact with similar specs to the Z5C but with a nice metal premium design. I hope Sony delivers.

The last week of November is soon enough to start the 2017 thread.
Are there any volunteers to create and maintain the first-post?

XR3
XR4: Sony themselves announced, has yet to be confirmed by Nodar.
XR5: Nodar himself confirmed it on his Georgian fan page.
