Sony Xperia X, X Performance and XA: Sony at MWC 2016

20 February, 2016
As most others focus on phablets, Sony showed the 5" market a lot of love with the new Xperia X series. The Xperia X Performance is essentially a Z-phone in disguise. Better yet, not even the Z5 has a brushed metal back.

I had the same issue when I used a camera cover on the selfie camera (I don't take selfies), which accidentally covered the light sensor. Phone screen was normal again once I removed the cover over the light sensor.

                          I have just purchased an Experia X, I have tried putting on a screen protector, but the top left hand corner will not stick down because of what appears to be a Ridge over the Nfc, should this be removed

                                  Samarth.........I recommend watching this video too, especially the part from 3:35-4:25. (Go to YouTube and search for "Sony Xperia X VS Xperia Z5 - What's the Difference?" and watch the 1st one at top with girl moderator. If you feel it's too long, at least watch the section I said, though all is better.) After seeing both these videos, I think you will see Sony is headed in the right direction, for the most part anyway.

                                    AnonD-4254, 29 Apr 2016I see. Thanks for the hands on experience. GSM Arena have ... moreYeah I had the Z3, and its camera IS great, though to really see it shine you had to use it in Manual Mode. I've actually heard mixed reviews about Z5's camera. But they say the X's camera will have "improved camera algorithms" on it plus that awesome Predictive Hybrid Autofocus too (go to Google and search for "Rafael Mantesso Sony", and watch the 2:15 video. I love that ad! lol Wish they'd show it on TV instead of JUST online.).

                                      You're welcome!

                                      Well, I've learned in the last year or so that you can't always depend on reviews. Sometimes you just have to try out a device to know for sure. Like I had a $600 portable amp/DAC device called the Celsus Sound Companion One that various professional reviews said sounded better than the $300 Oppo HA-2. But out of curiousity I got the HA-2 and compared them together side-by-side, and no matter how many songs I tested them on (using same phone as player and same headphones), I could NOT hear a difference in quality at all. So I returned the Companion One, kept the HA-2, and saved $300! lol

                                        GSM Arena have rated Sony so so in most of the phones, in terms of audio quality. So, I never tried them.
                                        Nor are the latest Sony too good in camera, with the exception of Z5 and Z3 which are great!
