Sony Malaysia has made it official by sending out the invites for the Sony Xperia XZ and Sony Xperia X Compact set for this Friday on 30 September 2016. Our earlier coverage showed that the Xperia XZ features about the same tech specs as the Xperia X Performance but has a new design. This includes the Snapdragon 820 and 3GB of RAM, a 5.2-inch Full HD display, and a 2800 mAh battery and USB Type-C connector.

The Sony Xperia X series has been launched globally recently, with the Xperia X, Sony Xperia XA and Xperia XA Ultra available in Malaysia. We have yet to see if the Xperia X Performance will be featured in the Malaysian market, but thanks to a new rumour, we may just want to wait for something better.

Recently Sony released an unlisted official video of the latest Sony Xperia X, praising its 23MP rear camera with Predictive Hybrid Autofocus. Both the Xperia X and Xperia X Performance will feature that very camera when they are released. The new Sony Xperia line starts from the Xperia X, Xperia X Performance and Xperia XA but will soon be available in the US in June. No Malaysia release dates or pricing details yet though.

Sony has finally revealed not one but three new Xperia X line up – the Xperia X Performance, Xperia X and Xperia XA, Sony focuses the new smartphones on its camera and photo features for the camera lovers. There are not price listed nor availability yet, but below are the tech specs:-
