On its own, the Sony Xperia X is a smartphone that's comfortable on the hand, has a nice finish, easy to use, and it's sweetened with flagship-tier mobile camera quality, even if it's slightly iffy at times. While Sony has every right to see their Xperia...
Premium build, Nice design, Great display, Good camera, Above average battery life, Starts at 64GB storage
No water- and dust-proofing, No 4K video (but we might be nitpicking), Not competitively priced considering competitor's offerings
If you look at the specs, the Xperia X is a top-notch mid-ranger with features found on flagships – premium build, nice design, capable CPU with plenty of RAM and storage, fast LTE, fingerprint scanner, great display quality, and capable camera. However...
Abstract: LG's G5 and friends and Samsung's S7 / S7 Edge are acts that are pretty hard to follow. But Japanese giant brand will not be pushed over by the Korean giants with the announcement of their new mobile phone series, the Sony Xperia X.Sony's Xperia X series...
Abstract: The Sony Xperia X is a curious product. While its innards are not exactly flagship level – its choice of processor comes to mind – it is clearly not a mid-ranger either, packing 3GB of memory and a 23-megapixel shooter with a large f/2.0 aperture.Sony, it...
Credits: Sony MobileThe Xperia X is a lovely phone in my opinion. It's just too expensive to put it bluntly. Is it worth the cash? Maybe? However I think that at this price, there are equivalent or better options.Nevertheless, I loved the “xperience” and...
Curved glass is fantastic to swipe on, Fingerprint sensor is faster than any other device, including the Galaxy S7 and iPhone 6S, The S650 is a pretty capable chip — more powerful than the Z3's S801, The device charges really fast
‘STAMINA' mode isn't really the old STAMINA mode, No waterproofing, No Gorilla or Dragontrail glass, leading to poor scratch and shatter protection, Slippery, Not value for money at all
Great UI, Decent camera performance, Functional design
Expensive, Lowerpowered "flagship", Average battery life

Abstract: The design heritage of the new Sony Xperia X series phones is as clear as day. Drawing cues from the Xperia Z5 phones , the Xperia XA, X and X Performance all feature the same blocky, utilitarian design, except it has smoothed out the more angular edges o...
Good Performance, Beautiful fit and finish, Great Camera
Not Waterproof, No USB Type C, Camera needs optimization
Even though the Xperia X isn't targeted as a high-end phone, you'd be hard-pressed to think otherwise. It has a beautiful design and performs as well as any other high-end phone, as long as you're not playing demanding 3D games. My only complain is that t...
