The Sony Xperia Z6 is already in our sights and, despite the very recent launch of the  Sony Xperia Z5 , there's a good chance the handset will arrive during today's Mobile World Congress press conference. What's more, Sony operates a supersonic launch cycle that sees new flagship smartphones released every six months. As such, it’s expected that the Xperia Z6 will launch in the first half of 2016 – and probably this weekend – so we’ve rounded-up the latest Xperia Z6 news, rumours, and leaks – plus a bit of educated guesswork. The most recent rumours are that the Xperia Z6 display will be pressure-sensitive, just like the iPhone 6S, and run on Android 6.0 Marshmallow. It's also tipped that there will be five different Xperia Z6 variants. The next opportunity for a smartphone launch is MWC 2016, one of the year's biggest technology tradeshows, assured to host a number of high-profile product launches. But will the Sony Xperia Z6 launch at MWC? It...

Even on contract this is a pricey phone, so we recommend waiting a ...

The Xperia Z line has been around for years, and looking back, the various models don’t deviate a great deal from each other. Sony was the first to make a waterproof flagship right out of the box, and has long supported high-resolution audio file formats like WAV and FLAC. The company also offers PlayStation cross-platform compatibility, content casting with Sony TVs, and various other features meant to keep it all in the family. Back in the ‘90s, Sony’s strategy would’ve been a self-fulfilling prophecy, but today, it’s a walled garden that doesn’t necessarily need walls. Even so, this is a well-crafted smartphone that’s somewhat overshadowed by the larger Xperia Z5 Premium. The 5.2-inch 1080p IPS display is vibrant and sharp, though the best design tweak is the frosted glass back. It is far less of a fingerprint magnet than its predecessors’ glossy glass back panels were. Sony also smartly integrated the nano SIM and Micro SD card tray under one flap instead of sep...

On the back is a glowing Lenovo logo whose colour you can customise -- cleverly, it can be set to glow different colours for different kinds of notifications. It feels like a light, decently built phone, with curved edges and a flat back. The white model is nothing exceptional, but the hot pink one will definitely turn heads. It has a better camera too, with 13 megapixels to the S860's 8, and a better 5-megapixel front camera for top-notch video calls. The only areas it undercuts the S860 are its RAM, with 1GB, and its battery, which is half the capacity at 2,000mAh. Both run the ageing  Android  4.2 Jelly Bean software, with an update likely soon after launch. Lenovo's custom skin isn't one of the best, removing the app drawer, so all your apps have to be kept on a home screen.

Samsung adds yet another mid-range device to its lineup with the  Galaxy E7 . With a plastic unibody, rounded edges and metal band, the Galaxy E7 doesn't stray too far from the standard Samsung design. The soft, matte back gave critics a relatively good grip on the otherwise smooth phone. At 139 grams, it is relatively lightweight and measures 5.9 x 3 x 0.3 inches. The Galaxy E7 sports a 5.5-inch, 720p Super AMOLED display. As expected of an AMOLED screen, experts note the excellent color reproduction, deep blacks, good viewing angles and overall vibrancy of the display. While its pixel density of 267ppi cannot compare to flagship phones, it was still sharp enough for most reviewers. They also add that touch was very smooth and responsive, making for a pleasant experience overall. ^ Equipped with a 1.2GHz quad-core processor and 2GB of RAM, it is no surprise that critics reported a smooth and lag free experience during basic tasks and when playing high end games....

The camera and screen on this phone are wonderful. The processor is fast, the size of the screen is, in my opinion, perfect. (anything above is too big, this is a phone you can use comfortably) It's fast, it's smooth, it has great reception and the gps works great too (I track my bike runs with runtastic) The battery has lasted entire days of heavy use, I use my phone a lot and I'm considering leaving the powerbank at home, this baby can take 16 hours of intense use without any problems. Of course it's not the BEST phone out there, but for the price/quality ratio, I would buy this over an E5. If I could change one thing, I'd put the 3.5 jack on the left side (it's on the right and it gets in the way at times, but it's not really annoying) and I'd pull the volume buttons down, they're too high!

The G5's design is very clean too, with only a single volume clicker and SIM-tray present on either side. The volume control suffers from having a very shallow push, but it's usable nonetheless. While LG has ditched the volume keys on the rear, the lock switch remains in the slightly unorthodox position just below the camera sensors. In my opinion it's far better to have all the buttons in the same spot, be it on the back or sides of a phone. Positioned as they are, I’m forced to move my hands around the G5 more than normal just to reach everything. WATCH: LG G5 video review
