It is 8 times better than an Iris scanner, while 5 times better than dual cameras, even 3 times better than 3D Touch, it isn't gimmick like them, it is durability and safer compare to gimmicks winners.

      I dont know how is it in UK, but here in SEA, i can just go to the official service center and ask them to replace my battery.
      And that is a lot cheaper than buying new phone.

        but you are not comparing like with like

        xperia x performance is galaxy s7 competitor

        gsmarena battery life (default setting)

        http://www.gsmarena.com/battery-test.php3

        xperia x performance at 61 hours
        galaxy s7 competitor at 80 hours

        so it's not double the battery life like for like for like phone

        might as well gionee m5 marathon to your s7 edge which 50 hours battery life extra, but does mean you will buy a gionee phone

        at end of the day, every phone has advantages and disadvantages, depends what suits your need

        my wife has played with both the s7 and xperia performance, she preferred the x performance for a number of issues which she felt better for her usage and requirements

          imparanoic, 22 Jul 2016I think you misunderstood it's about battery longevity, ... moreIn other words, Qnovo on X series has no advantage in battery longevity over S7 Edge.

          S7 Edge will last 2 days on 1 charge.

          X Series guarantees charging daily.

          Do the maths

          X Series will be exhausted in roughly the same amount of time due to double the amount of battery cycles over the same period of time.

          The only difference is one has pathetic battery and the other has excellent battery life.

            apart from g5 which a removeable battery, there is few major manufacturers which have removable battery

            if the case it seal the cost of labour and the original battery won't be cheap either

              with low capacity qnovo you have to charge your phone more often.

              sony = stupid feature

                it's about battery longevity, twice as long as conventional batteries

                http://www.marketwired.com/press-release/qnovos-innovative-adaptive-battery-charging-included-sony-mobiles-newest-xperia-smartphones-2098615.htm

                in other words, after 2 years, average android battery is exhausted, probably only retains 50-60% of it's original battery assuming charged every 24 hours, but with qnovo, it may still retail 80% of the original battery

                            is this a joke? maybe sony is thinking that they are still in the 80s and 90s when they are the movers in electronics...sony wake up..you are now considered endangered brand...

                              I used to be fond of Sony, since they brought Z1 Compact. But over the time things changed, Sony keeps putting those ugly large bazels on top and bottom, once great battery life now is kinda average, and the pricing which makes you wonder about getting other flagships for much less, with more to offer. PlayStation owners may consider it, since it has its benefits, but for an average Joe this will not be an option. Price will go down quickly once the initial sales numbers will come through.

                                      Samsung is the lexus.

                                      Expensive but with quality and the latest tech.

                                      Even though Hyundai is quite good nowadays.
