Bloatware
Weird pseudo-ads take up space in the app drawer

The fingerprint sensor is there
But doesn't work
No water resistance
Not as cheap as we'd hoped

Main camera has quite a few problems
Including poor color fidelity
Blur

Ultima
Wildly overpriced
Uninspired design
No fingerprint reader on US model
Heavy-handed skin and bloatware
Bland design
Battery life is constrained
And the fingerprint reader won't work on the US version of the phone

Sony would like to position the Xperia X as a mid-range phone albeit with some serious premium credentials. They've largely succeeded. The work done with the camera is commendable and will only get better as the predictive hybrid autofocus advances. Actua...

elegant chassis, fingerprint sensor, 20 GB free storage space, Android 6.0, WiFi 802.11ac and LTE, high voice quality, good camera, bright display, high system performance, good battery life
expensive, no 4K video recordings, throttling under full load, poor micro SD transfer rates, non-removable battery, quick-charge power adapter only for a surcharge
The Sony Xperia X does a lot of things right, but cannot entirely live up to its self-imposed claim of being a top smartphone. Nevertheless, there are many arguments in favor of the 5-inch Android phone. It features an elegant case made of aluminum and pl...

Xperia X is a smartphone priced very similarly to the current premium devices, and this means high expectations on behalf of the users. This phone did well in our tests and we can't say that it has an obvious drawback. You don't get a Quad HD display but...
The Xperia X is a fantastic phone. It really is. Battery life is solid, performance and screen quality are decent, the camera manages to consistently impress, and it still manages to capture everything that makes Sony phones unique. The caveats here reall...

The Sony Xperia X represents a bit of a conundrum. The phone is a mid-range handset, but strives to be a flagship. The X doesn't offer some of Sony's best innovations, which makes it hard to take seriously as a flagship contender. Too bad, then, that Sony...

The unlocked Sony Xperia X Performance packs a top-of-the-line processor and camera, but it's missing some key features you'd expect from a high-end phone, and it suffered from overheating in testing...

With its more elegant body, better camera, faster chipset, and record LTE band support, the iPhone 6s seems destined to remain the popular choice compared to the Xperia X. Moreover, Sony priced its midranger just a hundred lower than the iPhone 6s, which...
If you notice, we haven't once alluded to the pricing of the Sony Xperia X during the course of this review, and there's a solid reason for that. You see, if you don't bring the pricing into the equation, the Xperia X seems like a capable device in most r...

If you are a Sony fan, or you are looking to upgrade from a Xperia Z device and want to stick with Sony then the Xperia X could just be what you are looking for. Having said that, there are other flagship devices out there that offer more for less money...
