15 May, 2016
Sony could have picked a more powerful chipset, but instead went with Qualcomm's mid-range.

      Ritzie, 15 May 2016Again, if you know how to read between the lines, the objec... moreand if you saw a comment on which I made reply to you wouldn't make your useless post . I had to make him stop rambling nonsense and insult others because of his poor knowledge on chipsets....so here it is for you comment from the guy ''ray'' :

      ''dont be a foolish fan boy. the artical clearly says that SD650 with 510gpu is much better than SD810 with 430gpu. even some of the these phones came to market on 2015.! ''

      Me angry ? bro what are you smoking ? this thing should be compared with both high end and mid-range devices so we can see is it worth the money or not Sony is asking for . and from everything I saw so far there is nothing wrong with it it has excellent camera,benchmarks and performance,also excellent battery life ...it's just a bit overpriced if it was in price range from 450-550 euros it would be acceptable , but for those who can wait it will be available for that price one month and half after release,prices gonna drop surely.

            That chipsets and charge €600?! Sony is on suicide mode. Farewell my dear. You MAKE me BELIEVE no more Sony phones needed in the world. Chinese phones is better and cheaper.

              This is why the Chinese companies like Xiaomi are killing these traditional OEMs. These OEMs like Sony, Samsung, LG, etc are merely adding spec list and charging a premium. Well, the Chinese companies can do the same for fractions of the cost. So without any further differentiation, why pay $$$? The least these companies could've done is improving their support, but they are not any better. Rather than paying $$$ for a Sony or Samsung and begging them for timely updates, might as well get cheap Xiaomi and flash the phone myself.

                            Sony is crazy...I mean it's very annoying..they keep doing like they don't have common sense..I mean just look at this phone,who in thier right mine would pay that amount for a midrange? ?this phone doesn't bring anything new to the table,just like all thier phones..I mean look at the z5 and x performance,what's the difference if not processor?the new model doesn't even shoot 4k...Sony will keep on sinking till they have sense,look at HTC they have learnt thier lesson. ..you can't compare d HTC 10 with the x performance,the x performance is d same as the z2 save for processor,finger print scanner and a lil camera update..I'm just tired of sony

                              What do you mean by "stacks up well against adreno 430"?

                              It is way inferior (by 30% at least) to it as your benchmarks show (in the review of Flex 2).

                                  >It even stacks up well against the Adreno 430 in the S810 chipset.

                                  No it doesn't. Your own numbers show the 430 is 100% faster, how is that even close? That graphics doesn't even stack up with the Adreno 418 found in the Nexus 5x as seen in your own benchmark numbers.

                                    They need to lower the price by at least €150 there is no reason a mid class phone should cost over $500usd or cad. This according to current exchange is $878 cad.
