The news again comes from聽that claims to have met聽those, who have actually used the new range of Sony devices.聽In terms of design, the source that used the device states that Sony has used聽more metal this time around, which hints at the fact that Xperia lovers could get to see an all-metal Sony Xperia smartphone instead of the Omni-Balance design with sandwiched glass and metal, that now seems to have gotten a bit old. The metal bits are expected to deliver a fresh new look to the Xperia Z6 series.

The Ultra would obviously be a phablet-sized device keeping in line with older ultra models. According to earlier reports, Sony was supposed to go with just one flagship in the coming year, so the update is indeed good news for Sony fans.

Again, the same source also reports that Sony will not be announcing its new range at the Mobile World Congress (MWC). Instead, Sony is expected to announce the same later in 2016. Lastly, there are also murmurs that Sony may skip on the 4K display that it had included in its Xperia Z5 Premium this year, so for those looking for that pixel perfect display, you may be a bit disappointed.
