BERLIN — Can you blame Sony for **t wanting to just throw in the towel for its ailing smartphone business?

As disappointing as the new Xperia X ****** (http://mashable.com/2016/02/22/sony-xperia-x-smartphones/?utm_campaign=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_cid=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial) is, Sony's pushing forward with the new Xperia XZ and X Compact, which it unveiled at IFA 2016 (https://hameed.nwar.uk/vb/mashable.com/category/ifa-2016?utm_campaign=&utm_context=textlink&utm_medium=rss&utm_source=). The XZ will launch in the U.S. on Oct. 23 and the X Compact is coming Oct. 25. (Pricing will be set later by carriers.)

Sony says the XZ merges the company's previous flagship Z-****** with the recent X-****** into one.*
