Sony Xperia X Performance review: Chief of staff

17 June 2016
It's the best Sony’s got. The Xperia X Performance is the chosen one to fly the banner of Sony's revamped smartphone lineup. The top of the range, the Deus X Machina, the one to make you forget about your ex – the Z-series.

        Maybe you're right. All defender here are salesman in real life

          As a Sony fans, all i can say is, THIS IS THE BEST SMARTPHONE!

          It has the best screen on the market
          Xperia X Performance
          Black = 0.39 White = 595 Contrast r.= 1526
          Color accuracy (Average DeltaE) = 5.7

          Galaxy S7
          Black = 0.00 White = 539 Contrast = infinite
          Color accuracy = 1.7 (Basic mode) 7.1 (Adaptive mode)

          HTC 10
          Black = 0.29 White = 429 Contrast = 1543
          Color accuracy = 2.9 (sRGB mode) 5.8 (Vivid mode)

          LG G5
          Black = 0.20 White = 376 Contrast = 1881
          Color accuracy = 5.4

          iPhone 6s
          Black = 0.36 White = 536 Contrast = 1481
          Color accuracy = 3.6

          It has excellent battery life
          XP = 61h endurance rating. S7 = 80h. 10 = 66h. G5 = 60h. 6s = 62h.

          It has best camera
          Thanks to noisy, blurry and grainy picture quality, and all I can say is this is the best camera smartphone on the market.

          If you buy a Sony phones you will know what is Japan Quality

              look at vote poll result compare to comment

                abc, 20 Jun 2016yes ww are trolls. we are here to tell you the truth about ... moreI am a pure Sony user and before I am a Samsung user. I can tell you the page is full of the comments from the competitors. Regard the after sales services, I haven't know yet, because Sony make premium product, my Xperia Z2 still strong and fast, but if you know how to use the Xperia customer service in the web page, you wouldn't trolling at here. There are such as Grey1213, Advan, Lex...etc and some of the anonymous, I usually found they are trolling and bashing Sony in every Sony page, they never praise Sony, they never see the good and the best and the great done by Sony, everything they will praise the Iphone Samsung or even China phone, they don't know what is the Sony invention/technology, even they know, they also will trolling it is a gimmick

                    I stand corrected, X Performance gets 139 000 on antutu

                      Lex79, 20 Jun 2016Perhaps, except: Except that the 6S has access to Apple ... moreThe better explanation is Apple is special. The build their own OS, and its enough to make them special. Its like a zebra in a group of donkey. Building an OS always means spend a lot of money for RD.
                      They also design their own SoC.

                      Meanwhile X series is only low-cost high end phones. Sony with x series
                      -uses free mainstream OS that means (Free/no cost)
                      and create a lightest modded ui. (Small cost)
                      -Uses mainstream SD SoC.
                      -Cheap build(Smaller cost)
                      -Poor marketing. (Small cost)
                      -Lower spec than other android flagship(Less cost)
                      -No fingerprint for us, means they REFUSES to pay for patent. (No cost)
                      - Bad after sales. Less service center.(cost cutting) even appoint 3rd party company for repair.

                      Its clear its has biggest margin between cost per unit and price. They want to make profit per unit as high as possible.
                      Low cost premium price.

As for Apple, the retina display is not only mediocre but it's outdated by area least 3 years on one of the most expensive handsets in the world. So next your looking at your iPhone, count the pixels and tell yourself this is not mediocre!

                                    Worse battery life, no FM radio, useless high res sreen to ensure it wont last til noon. Nothing to see here folks, move along and stick with the far better Z series.
