Sony Xperia X review: Rated X

20 May, 2016
There's a shift of command in the house of Xperia. The Sony Xperia X and its two siblings are taking over from the Xperia Z. A dynasty has come to an end. We hear the C and M families are being put out to pasture as well, soon it will be all X top to bottom.

There is a site called qnovo, so go and learn about it.
Not mentioning it in this text is a bit of bad work, cause official X pages do clearly point out that tech

      Whilst I'm sure the people writing the reviews for this site have their personal favourites, as far as I can tell they do their best to keep those opinions out of the reviews.

      Take this review for example, there's as much praise in there as there is critique, it's in a word: balanced.

      The Sony fans (like fans of others oems, in all fairness) just wanted 6 or 7 pages of: 'it's the best device at everything ever' repeated over and over.

Gsmarena gave it a poor endurance rating and said its slow to charge, so the battery not deteriorating may have been exaggerated too.

        It is only a software implementation used in this case so that might be the reason why.

          So another Sony flagship with poor camera performance. I'm amazed how is this possible considering Sony's experience in standalone cameras. Apparently their departmens do not cooperate with each other.

          And why in the hell there's no OIS in a flagship device (even the Performance model lacks it)?

            Lex79, 21 May 2016If you believe this site biased in its reviews, why are you... moreAgree and +1 for you

            "In my experience though most people only claim a review to be biased when the conclusions differ with the opinion of the person making the accusation."

            That is what Sony fanboy said when reviewer site give a bad criticsm (but actually they trying to be honest) But those fanboys can't accept it.

              [deleted post]Why are people like you so thick?

              This phone costs the same amount as the s7 but has less ram and doesn't even have the best midrange chipset while the s7 has the best high end chipset.

              You think Sony are being reasonable with the price? You must be insane.

                Personally if I thought a tech review site held bias, I would neither read it's reviews or go to the trouble of registering a profile and posting comments on the site.

                In my experience though most people only claim a review to be biased when the conclusions differ with the opinion of the person making the accusation.

                  in spite of what you are saying sony does makes profits out of their mobile division (around 20%) because it has been established as the android premium brand and (obviously) people are willing to pay a premium for sony phones. the x is indeed hugely overpriced but its price is going to be around half, come christmas, maybe sooner. (for instance the m5 and z3 cost below 280 euro).

                    [deleted post]Trust me, this is the best review X can get. Sony invited them to tokyo and give them an x for review unit. Ofcourse sony asked for good review. They did their best, but they just cant lie.

                    For example, battery life. They just can give it 100h, bcz people will prove it wrong. Then they are no more reliable.

                    The vrge will have more honest review.

                      [deleted post]Maybe DxOmark will, maybe they won't.

                      But you spend the last several months disrespecting DxoMarks conclusion by calling their current highest rated camera phones (namely the S7 and HTC 10) crap as far as their photography quality goes.

                      Yet before that your were DxO's best friend when the Z5 was on top.

                      So why would their opinion suddenly count again if they were to rate the Xperia X higher???

                      Your bias has backed you into a corner on this front Tann, and that's made you look like an absolute hypocrite.

                                  And Xperia is...just Xperia....
                                  most feature rich and best looking multimedia apps with most complete feature package for a phone.
                                  Nexus and Motorolas phones come close, but not such good native apps and features
                                  Overall Xperias are best android based packages IMO.
                                  They do price it though.

                                    Being expensive though doesnt change the fact its best in its class.... ;-)

                                        So i wouldn't say, Sony will never exit mobile world.
