Sony Committed to US, Despite Lacking Carrier Deals

Feb 22, 2016, 5:45 AM by Eric M. Zeman

Sony today said it plans to bring its new X Series handsets to the U.S., even if only via its own online sales channel. The company reiterated its commitment to the U.S. market, where it currently sells the Xperia Z5 and Z5 Compact directly to consumers online. Sony representative Don Mesa told Phonescoop that the company is always talking to wireless network operators, but will sell the X Series phones in the U.S. whether it scores a distribution deal or not. The X Series do not replace the Xperia Z series, they are simply an expansion of the Xperia product range. The X Series is meant to showcase new design language and relies on metals more than the glass surfaces of the Z Series. Sony expects the new X Performance, X, and XA to launch over the summer months. Pricing has not been revealed.

New Compacts?

I hope this means that whatever new higher-end devices, Z6 Compact or the like, also comes to the US, with all features like the fingerprint sensor. Though I like the metal back of the new phones they just announced, I'm way too addicted to glass screen protectors to ever want something with a curved front glass, since then you can't ever cover it and have it look normal like on a flat glass screen.
