I remember how in 2013 my colleagues from Sony demonstrated the Sony Xperia Z with smiles, the journalists also smiled, because after several years of stagnation, there was finally a breakthrough. Minimalistic design, good performance, glass panels, water protection, a recognizable button on the right side – Sony just parted ways with Ericsson and the new flagship turned out to be what it should be. I know of some people using Z so far. Then there was Z2, Z3 / Z3 +, and finally Z5. And on the Z5, the story ends. What was officially announced yesterday.
Here's an ad that appeared:
'“The Xperia Z line has reached its culmination – Xperia X series represents a new chapter and evolution of our product strategy. Whilst the Xperia Z series was all about bringing the best of Sony's advanced technologies to smartphones, Xperia X series is based on bringing smart, adaptive Sony user experiences across camera, battery performance and hardware / software design '.
Of course, it's a little strange why close the Z series if other devices can be made within its framework – but often it is not possible to understand the logic of Sony's managers. In the next few years, we will be dealing with X series smartphones – you can read the first views on the website.

What else to say – unless I ask you a question. Do you regret that Sony closed the Z-series?
