Not as cheap as we'd hoped

Ultima

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
I will be honest- I really like the Xperia X. I love how it fits right into my hands, the fact that I can browse, text and chat one-handed. I also love how beautiful and premium it looks and the stunning screen. But thats where it stops, because it is a...

The Sony Xperia Performance is as its name suggests a performance driven phone. It will be ideally suited to those who love gadgets, taking into consideration the next generation of accessories mentioned in this article, which along with the phone will r...
It's hard to get excited about the Xperia X until we know how much it will cost. Things start to get interesting if it's around £350, but if it's priced similarly to the Galaxy S7, for example, the Xperia X is going to struggle to compete with its Full HD...

Over-vivid display colour for camera preview, Camera can't match the best, No 4K video capture
If Sony manages to keep the price low and make it affordable, then the X's premium-feeling build and sleek design will be a tempting buy for those looking for a daily driver, minus all the bells and whistles. The camera is promising, and we look forward...
Boring design, Unreliable camera, Awful button placment, Far too expensive, Some performance niggles
Sony Xperia X – Battery Life Sony claims you'll get two days of use from the Xperia X. I haven't. And I'm doubtful whether you will either. It's a 2,620mAh cell, which may sound small but is meaty enough to get you through the day. But Sony's two-day clai...
Solidly constructed, Great Camera, Good Battery Life, Bright and Crisp Display
Overpriced, Fingerprint Sensor a Tad Finicky
The Xperia X is a good all-round smartphone. Its vibrant display, rich camera features and long lasting battery are enviable indeed. Charging consumers R12 000 for such a device, however, is simply too much, especially when the likes of the higher specced...
Impressive Display, Compact Design, microSD card support
Overpriced, No Waterproofing, Slow Camera
It has its moments but the Xperia X is no alternative to the Samsung Galaxy S7 and Apple iPhone 6s. In fact, it seems a step below the current flagship line up from the competition in terms of both performance and hardware. At Rs 48,990 it seems exorbitan...
