http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_x-review-1441p4.php
Even GSMArena has to clarify what they call "light".
"Keep in mind we use "light" in terms of the number of changes it makes, not how much storage it uses up. The X is available with 32GB of storage only, the Sony software reserves 12GB of that, leaving 20GB to the user. "
If it's truly close to stock or light, where did those 4GB and more on X went? Is Sony secretly storing/intending to store 4GB of porn/spyware in your system partition?

2. Audio? I think you should listen to real life performance first before you complain.

My "heavily customized (as people like to call it)" Touch-wiz takes up less than 8GB of system memory.
Clear as day who has more bloat.

And so what if Sony is closer to stock, its still more bloated and takes way more space. And it doesn't change that their devices are of poor quality. And the audio quality is slightly worse, according to gsmarena. The camera is worse, the processing is bad and causes too many artefacts.
I'm not seeing any sign of this quality or software optimisation, and certainly nothing to justify the premium price on their products.

Here in the Philippines, we can now get the Z5 Premium for only $400-$500 which is $200-$300 cheaper than the S7. Why do Sony doesn't have good camera? Simple, because not every people is aware of Xperia camera, and for what I can tell, Z5's camera is not the best, but not as bad as how people say

Now and then, Samsung sucks at software optimization. Only the hardware is powerful enough to handle TouchWiz. Even the 820 version of the S7 sucks and is not comparable to the Exynos, mainly again because of Samsung's crap optimization

I don't care if you would buy the S7 or XP, but it's irrelevant to say that Sony is overpriced just because of US putting big taxes on their products. In fact, Sony shouldn't be releasing their phones in the US at all. But for the sake of the people who love Xperia, they did

It's just that people, staring at a Sony smartphone face-to-face and knowing all its figures, realize they could get something better. It's that bad of a maekrting from Sony. Either through a manner of careful comparisons or without much reason.

Which means that Samsung has taken consideration of the taxes and everything in different country. Where as I will have to pay a lot extra, almost 200$ more for inferior specs/performance if u choose the X performance. Also, just to add the official price of the xperia x is 720$, so this is Sony's price in my country.
