- Performance: The phone runs everything I throw at it with ease and simpler tasks like browsing are noticeably smoother than the blu phone. The snapdragon 650 hexacore is a bit of an older chip however performs admirably and the hexacore design 2x 1.8ghz and 4x 1.2ghz is a very efficient design, especially against the slow 8 core used in the life one x. The gpu is Adreno 510, a strong mid-mid to high-mid GPU that can handle moderately intensive and casual games. Have realistic expectations though, it's not top of the line and probably won't run the most intensive apps on the play store smoothly. 3 gigabytes of RAM is more than enough and multitasks effortlessly. I've never had any issues with the internal storage or the 32g microSD card that I put in. If you have a PS4 you can use the controller with the phone and do some other supposedly nifty stuff.
- Camera: The camera is a bit odd, likely due to software. When looking through the camera in the app, it's not that great looking but when it snaps the pic, it comes out much nicer. Most phones is the other way around. Points for the lack of motion blur that I've seen on every other phone I've used. A very annoying quirk about the camera app is that it cannot be used in portrait view. I'm looking around for other apps to replace Sony's but the camera by itself is a good one. Not mind blowing but good. When buying any phone, remember that megapixel count is actually a very negligible spec when it comes to predicting photo quality.
- Wireless: One of the reasons I ditched the blu is because of the lackluster cellular coverage. The Xperia x exceeds my expectations in this area and it gets LTE almost anywhere I go with AT&T. Sometimes it's so quick I forget i'm not on wifi! One of the other users say that wifi isn't that great. Mine works fine but drops out for a half-minute or so occasionally. My college's wireless network regresses every year though so I just chalk it up to that.
* ATT uses bands 2, 4, 5, 12 (lightly), and 17 (heavily) in the US. The blu was missing 12, don't pull a me and make sure a phone has the necessary bands before buying it! Many descriptions don't have them clearly listed, so use GSMarena if unsure <http://www.gsmarena.com> The SIM slot takes nano SIM only, you can have a guy at any ATT store swap it in like 5 minutes if you don't have one.
- Battery: Lasts me all day and then some with normal usage. You could probably get 2 days out of it with just browsing and with Sony's power-saving options on. It charges rediculously quick too, like 0 to 100% in an hour quick. I hope the battery keeps up with time.
- Chassis: The reason why I got this phone in particular was the looks. They're every bit as beautiful as in the picture. It's not the most comfortable phone to hold but that can likely be fixed with a case. The brushed aluminum back, the classic camera placement (top left corner) and the curved glass edges is really pretty and is subtly classy and sexy at the same time (the James Bond of phones), a rare look in phones today. Surprisingly, both sides of the phone are pretty resistant to fingerprints and smudging, I haven't cleaned it in the 2 weeks or so that I've had it and not a single smudge. The speakers on the top and bottom of the front panel are clear because of the placement, but they aren't high quality speakers in any sense, but I usually wear headphones and those sound fine. It doesn't go as loud as my iPod 5 (which is probably a good thing). Volume button is in a really weird placement that you wouldn't think much of by looking at the pictures on here. Display is sharp, there really isn't a need for anything above 1080p on a phone as the eye can't easily see the difference and a higher resolution just taxes the GPU harder, leading to lower performance. Wish notification light was placed elsewhere and was brighter, but whatev.
- Software: I don't like Sony's UI much, I prefer the blu's. It's not much of an issue with android because you can download any launcher you wish and change the UI from there; I use Apex and it looks fine. As said, the camera app kind of sucks. No small amount of bloatware that can't be deleted either, though at least it doesn't have all the crap from a carrier and most of it can be disabled anyway, so the phone doesn't skip any beats.
Overall a very good mid range phone that's definitely worth the price is is now (still 300). I'd give it a 4.8 for the meh software and the few chassis
mishaps, but even looking for one, I cannot find an issue that would give me pause if I'd known it before buying. The stuff that the phone does right, blows the minor faults out of the water anyway. I wholeheartedly recommend giving this phone a shot; it may pleasantly surprise you as it did me. Congrats if you read this far, hope it was worth your time :)
Pros:
FANTASTIC battery life: I don't get some of the reviews on how bad the battery is. The phone lives up to the advertising. Even with moderate to moderate/heavy use, a user should get 2 days of battery life from a full charge. I can usually get close to 4 days. Also, with the Qnovo battery inside, this phone is reported to have a cycle life of 800 charging cycles (compared to the standard of 500-600 you get with more 'popular' phones like Apple or Samsung). If you get 2 days of use from a full charge, this battery would last around 4 years before the battery would start to loose optimal charge / functional capacity (i.e. depleted). Even after 1.5 years, my Xperia X still charges pretty quickly with the Quick Charge 2.0 technology (you have to use the supplied adapter AND cable to utilize the technology, otherwise it charges at a 'standard' slow rate). Evidently, you can leave this phone plugged in after it reaches 100% charge and the adaptive technology inside will automatically cut off current to the battery to prevent damage. Once it hits 90%, the charge speed slows WAY down (evidently to prevent damaging the battery when it is nearly at full capacity).
SIZE: If you are looking for a phone and not an oversized brick to hold to your ear, this is a solid phone. A 5 inch full HD display.
STORAGE: In addition to 32GB onboard storage, this can hold a 200 GB memory card. For the year (2016) this phone was released, not too bad. Other users have indicated they have added a 256 GB memory card and not had a problem.
SPEED: This phone is pretty snappy with the CPU and GPU inside. There is really no lag or choppiness in day to day operations. Also, this phone will update to Android 8.0 from 6.0. The downside for a new owner is that the phone will spend a LOT of time requesting updates when first turned on because it has sat in a box. I spent several hours the day I received it just charging it and waiting for the phone to complete all the updates it was behind on. Once it was finished updating, I hardly saw any more update requests (even now hardly any).
DISPLAY: This phone has technology (triluminos, X-reality) that Sony incorporates into some of their TV lines. When watching an HD movie on this screen, the colors and quality are quite impressive for a midrange phone - well above average.
FEATURES: FM radio with RDS, NFC, AC wireless, quick charge, triluminos display, X-Reality, etc...This phone beats many midrange Android phones on the market (even 3 years later).
ENERGY management: The UI provides many energy saving features to assist the battery in providing you a lot of use on a charge. You had enable them or disable some or all of them in the settings. Overall, the UI isn't the greatest but it gets the job done for a mid range phone.
Cons:
Camera: I know, it sounds ungrateful given it is a Sony. The Xperia X comes with a SUBPAR 23MP main camera. From my experience, the 8MP mode for the main camera is the best. It will easily give Samsung and iPhones a run for their money. However, I found the 20 and 23MP settings to produce somewhat blurry, faded and 'washed out' photos (both close up and distant). The 8MP setting provides crisp, colorful pictures. I haven't done much with the front facing camera but it seems to be decent. For Sony's reputation and camera technology, they could have done a better job (or just added a lower MP main camera and maintained quality). However, I won't rap on Sony too much given this isn't a flagship phone - just an average model in their phone line.
SOUND: Again, given Sony's reputation for sound, this could have been better. It does come with dual, front facing stereo speakers, but the volume is inadequate unless you are sitting in a perfectly quiet environment. If any kind of ambient / background noise is present, the sound volume at maximum is too low. If you have quality headphones on, the volume improves a little but Sony could have done better in providing more 'kick' to the speakers. Again, keep in mind this is NOT a flagship phone.
SUPPORT: Evidently, Sony just removed this phone from their product page while some phone which came out at the same time (or even a little earlier) are still listed. Really? This is an Xperia / X series and Sony is still producing X series phones (and the Xperia X is still being sold - new and used - on places like Amazon and ebay). Why has this particular phone model been removed from the product page?
OVERALL, I would give this phone 4.5 stars. However, I wouldn't pay more than $250 for it. FYI, you can buy a replacement battery for this phone on ebay (still as of the date of this review). If you feel so inclined, I'd like to see your feedback below.
The camera is great when in natural lighting, very poor in low lighting and DOES NOT work when the phone is overheating, and the shutter is quite slow at times. Action shots are poor.
The phone overheats a couple times a week, while charging particularly or when it is hot outside or you are near a heater. It is frustrating at time
When the phone is dying it is exceptionally slow
Other than that I do not have many other complaints.
Battery lasts quite a while!
For the price it is a good phone, if it was any more expensive it would not be worth it.
