Now in reality the 10 has nothing(NOTHING) over the performance. So it's by far not superior in anyway and please don't mention screen res or ppi. I beg you in the name of God, please don't mention that. As for the speed don't worry it'll be fixed(We all know this).

    Meanwhile the waterproofing is an actual(ACTUAL) advantage.

And either way, while the pricing of both the HTC 10 and Xperia X Performance aren't as competitive to others, out of the two, I'm pretty sure more people will buy the HTC 10 since they at least made an effort to make their phone better than last year's. Which Sony couldn't pull off.

                  Mr sales man, you are like a peanuts seller who offers his bad taste peanuts to all people here.

                    Actually the competitors hire so many writers to trolling and bashing Sony, if you don't believe please watching the video that I link here. Although the video contain mandarin, but you can find a way to understand it. Do you know why HTC sale and market become worse? If you don't know, you definitely should watching this video:

                      Sony will face the same fate as nokia it it does not adapt soon. It needs to learn from nokia's mistakes and oneplus's success

Hopefully the latter... moreBruh I weep tears for you (no sarcasm) but I've seen this movie before and it doesn't end well. I almost bought a Z3+ myself but then I heard about the heating issues and the camera app failing, they make good phones (hate the sharp corners) but they just don't seem to have their head and heart in the game anymore. They will certainly consider selling off their mobile division after the X/XPricy underdelivers, kinda like traitorous Moto did recently by siding with the commies.

                              Quite remarkable for Sony to support a phone from 2014 (!) and keep it updating.

                              The beta program was set to last until mid-2016 from the beginning, so this is no surprise. Beta testing found numerous bugs which were then corrected and the latest MM iteration should be rid of them.

                              As for the phone itself, I love it. A year old and still continues to amaze me. Along with the original HTC Desire I once had, maybe the best smartphone I ever owned.

                                      Anonymous, 15 Jul 2016Shame user and competition on Sony Feeds. Hehe I do go and check out the latest Sony phones. The clean slab design is getting worn out. Nice that the X has metal back, but they removed water-resistance? below 67H endurance just means it's a third of power stamina of what the best competition is bringing. That LCD has to go, and have AMOLED. Even if NOW that everyone else is going sealed battery, Sony has to have a compelling set of features that the competition is bringing.

                                      I was 5 years of using SonyEricsson before, and all my previous pre-digital music players were Sony. They used to be very innovative in their products, like the niftiest digital music players in the early 2000. Z5 Premium just fails the simple battery stamina I'd like it to have, and the 4K is really pointless if there is no VR usage.

                                      Now, competition just overtakes with better features, longer battery, nicer looking design. They use to be that.

                                        AnonD-463876, 15 Jul 2016Yeah the Xperia X Pricy won't be enough to keep them afloat... moreEither that or a drastic price change. Hopefully the latter, because despite their mistakes, I don't wanna see Sony go. They made good phones in the past, and I want them to rethink their plan and go back to their roots.
