In February this year, Sony officially announced that the Xperia Z series is dead and now a new leak suggests that Sony will focus more on the Xperia X series of devices until the year 2018 than others and there will be no more launches in the Xperia C and Xperia M series in the future. Some presentation slides have been leaked by ePrice website that confirms everything above, however, the company hasn’t confirmed anything yet from these rumors.
The leaked presentation slides clearly confirms that all the future devices including the flagship models will be launched in the Xperia X series and not in any other Xperia series till the year 2018. Another slide shows that the “X” logo will be used aggressively by the company in all its products and products promotions. Its still not clear about this idea from Sony or if the company is facing any problems with the sales of these two Xperia series devices. Everything will be cleared from an official announcement from Sony that also may not be far off.
