Sony Xperia Z6: Looking Good In Metal Cover

Sony‘s Xperia Z5 lineup saw a delayed launch in the U.S. This series can only be purchased as worldwide variants without any warranty from e-retailers like Amazon and eBay. This indicated that the device would be positioned between the Xperia Z6 compact and the Xperia Z6, however, it is unclear why Sony would attempt to add another device to its upcoming lineup.

When the current rumor about the Xperia Z6 Lite first emerged, it was mentioned that the device would come with 5.0-inch screen.

The speakers are located in the front while the fingerprint sensor will remain on the side. As the handset is likely to be just a mid-range offering, Sony is said to be targeting a price of about 2,500 Yuan in Chinese market, which converts to about $386.

Regarding the five variants of the phone, early leaks via wiebo have shown us that the phone might be coming out in the following five variants: Xperia Z6 Mini with 4-inch display, Xperia Z6 Compact with 4.6-inch display, Xperia Z6 with 5.2-inch display, Xperia Z6 Plus with 5.8-inch display, and Xperia Z6 Ultra with 6.4-inch display.

Today, a new rumor regarding Sony’s smartphone roadmap for 2016 surfaced online directly from China.

2016 is quite a critical year for Sony’s smartphones – as their future hangs in the balance over the sales of their next flagship, the Sony Xperia Z6.

As always, readers are advised to take the reported Z6 Lite-related information with the proverbial pinch of salt as Sony has not confirmed any details so far. The phone will get a metal back and might be powered by the Snapdragon 650 chipset (previously known as the Snapdragon 618). According to sources in the industry, the Japanese company plans to launch another Xperia Z6 smartphone next year, aside from those five already mentioned earlier. One of the two is expected to come out in June, and the other is expected to follow suite in October. The duo will sport lots of metal work and a fresh new look.
