What specs does the Xperia Z6 need to put Sony ahead of the pack?

There are numerous rumours swirling around about new smartphones being launched, most likely at or just after MWC 2016 in late February. We expect new flagships from Samsung, HTC and LG within the month or two. Sony is likely to wait until after MWC to reveal its flagship, so we wanted to ask you, what do you think it needs to stand out?

Some rumoured Xperia Z6 specs appeared on a Japanese site (docomo.publog.jp) recently, which look realistic to our eyes. It points to a 5.2-inch WQHD IPS display, Snapdragon 820 chipset with Adreno 530 graphics, 4GB LPDDR4 RAM, IP68 certification, 23MP rear camera and 5.1M front-facing camera.

Would these specs be worthy enough for a 2016 smartphone flagship in your view? Could you see yourself upgrading from an older Xperia model, such as the Z3? If not, what specs do you think the Xperia Z6 needs as a minimum to ensure Sony Mobile’s offering stands out from the crowd? We’d love to hear your thoughts below.
