Sony decided that its lineup of smartphones too diverse, and decided to conduct its restructuring. The result of this process, which is rarely something good, some time ago was made the rejection of the Z-series, and today it became known about leaving of lines in Xperia C and Xperia M.
Total, Sony refused three series and leaked all new smartphones in one-a new series of Xperia X, which will now include the flagships and state employees, and camera phones. Left unclear is the fate of Xperia category E, consisting of models of the middle class — about her yet not a word, but, apparently, it is also allowed to flow. Even two camera Ultra C6 and C6 will become part of the new X-series and to the time of the announcement, according to rumors, will be renamed rather ambiguous way: S6, for example, will turn into X Ultra, and Ultra C6 has not yet received a new name.
The true reasons for such unpopular decisions Sony remain a mystery, but hardly it will help it strengthen its position in the international smartphone market, since, taking as a reference the example of Apple, the Japanese vendor was very wrong and was eliminated not even three, and already from five leaders in this segment, losing to Chinese competitors. Sony tried to sell not the most powerful smartphones at the price of top models, and as they did not Shine that well was particularly evident in the overheated smartphone with the failed processor Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 inside. However, the decision to leave only one X-series really will save Sony from the fate of BlackBerry smartphones which almost nobody buys.
