Sony Xperia Z6 Lite with Snapdragon 652 SoC to come in 2016
The Xperia Z5
family definitely brought a new and very overdue spark of life to the
OEM's presence in the mobile realm and naturally got fans excited about
the future of the brand. Consequently, rumors of a 2016 Xperia Z6 lineup
have been flying all over the pace, but there are often conflicting and
seem to raise more questions than they answer.
Initial leaks
hinted at a total of five models, including a 4-inch Z6 Mini, 4.6-inch
Xperia Z6 Compact, 5.2-inch Z6, 5.8-inch Xperia Z6 Plus and a 6.4-inch
Xperia Z6 Ultra – talk about spoiled for choice. However, a leaked T-Mobile roadmap
later omitted any mention of a Z6 Mini, dropping the number of devices
down to four – two allegedly powered by a Snapdragon 820 and the other
by a Snapdragon 652 SoC (previously known as Snapdragon 620). However, a
new Chinese source just added another twist to the mystery with talk of
a Z6 Lite.
According to Mobile-dad, the device will have a 5.0-inch display,
placing it right between the Z6 Compact and basic Z6. The website also
claims that said handset will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 650
SoC (known as the Snapdragon 618, prior to the renaming).
A suggested price of $385 is also listed for the handset, along with a
May 2016 release frame, but we can't really be sure which market this
refers to, nor can we vouch for the authenticity of the source as a
whole.
