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

Including poor color fidelity
Blur
Noise

Ultima

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

Good cameras, Stamina mode will see the battery last you through the day, perfectly operable for day-to-day tasks
Price puts it at odds with competition, fingerprint scanner isn't the best, no waterproofing, less exciting screen design than Xperia XA
The Sony Xperia X is something of an oddity. It offers a pair of decent cameras in a package that's nicely designed. The specs are fitting for a mid-range device, delivering the performance you'll need for day-to-day tasks. However, priced as it is...

Lengthy battery life, Water resistant, Fast
A bit overpriced, Somewhat disappointing low light photography
It's not quite the excellent phone Sony says it is, but the Xperia X is still a good alternative to the Galaxy S7 and LG G5 as well as a step up from the Nexus 5X...
We wish we could rate the Sony Xperia X more highly than we have. It has a stunning design with a screen size ideal for those who prefer the smaller end of the spectrum. The 5in screen is the sweet-spot for us here. It also offers a great battery life, a...

Good camera, Decent battery life, Speedy fingerprint scanner
A tad expensive, Mid range processor, Somewhat dated design
The Sony Xperia X combines almost flagship specs with an almost flagship price to strong effect. It's not the best phone around, but it is one of the best Sony ones...

More durable design, Comfortable to hold, Speedy, fast Android 6.0, You can uninstall bloatware, MicroSD slot included
Fingerprint sensor disabled in U.S, Weak processor, Expensive compared to other phones ($550), Camera can't match iPhone
Sony's Xperia X is a good looking phone that runs an up-to-date and easy-to-use Android 6.0 Marshmallow OS, and it's comfortable to hold. The camera isn't perfect, but is also very good and the shutter button is a nice touch...

Battery life is constrained, and the fingerprint reader won't work on the US version of the phone
A reliable and likable midrange phone, the Xperia X stands out for its palm-friendly build and strong camera, but we can't recommend it for US customers...
Abstract: There is a new Sony hitting the shelves today, it is the much awaited Xperia X that was announced at MWC 16. This is slightly scaled down version of what went before in the form of the Xperia Z5 range. It shares a lot of features of its older sibling in t...

The Sony Xperia X is an odd fish. In its own right, it's a very good smartphone, with lovely design, decent battery life and performance, a great screen and (in some circumstances) an impressive set of cameras.Yet, given its specifications, it's entirely...
