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.

Anonymous, 19 Jun 2016Wow. To many useless comments. Sony is superb. If you don't... moreNormal????

If that's what you think fella, then you go for it.

Anyone who pays what Sony are asking for this and the X doesn't really have much grounds on which to criticize Apple's customers though.

        This comment make my day :D

        You do realise that Apple is building its own OS from scratch?!? Right?
        Has its own ecosystem(like it or not) which is very tight and good,and all that cost a money to develop and maintain!
        Sony on the other hand just uses free OS which is lightly skined....and preety much thats it.This kind of arqument is valid for every android out there,they should not be more expensive than Apple,or if they are..... they should be bloody good... much better than iphone.
        Sony is neither of those! And whats more,they are gambling on their brand name(much like HTC),and we all know how that game is ending (remember Nokia?)

          [deleted post]All what tannLoser said is proven wrong. He's real braggie.

          -First he was very confidence with qlenovo and FHD. He said 'It will have amazing battery life'. We know that word 'amazing' is always unreachable by soni, though I still expected it scores a little better than S7 that means 'good' battery life. And the results is not 'amazing' not good not even 'average' but disappointing.

          -He always bragged about performance, its FHD, light modded UI, no AOD. Ya, with all that advantages, it should performed better than other flagship. But again he always wrong.

          -He always said it will 'excells' in all its features. And yours just proved he wrong. Its worse in everything.

          I believe he will keep saying XP is the best, that's what all salesman said about their product. We all know its all lie.

Who would actually put their phone in skinny jeans or whatever you're talking about? Anyway, Sony's phones have large bezels, so you get the large size and the small screen all in one package.

                Wow. To many useless comments. Sony is superb. If you don't want it go for any other Chinese crap, laggy Samsung or overpriced iPhone. Sony isn't overpriced compared buy iPhone. iPhone also isn't powerful but expensive. Sony's pricing is normal.

                  61H. This is why i stayed away from Sony flagships. Unimpressed battery performances. Anything below 80H is not as good.

                  We already smartphones going for 100H endurance. And Sony is still selling things that only have 61H?

                                    Sony must learn from samsung. Especially that plastic scratchable cam lens.
                                    Sony`s design is always odd (read: !d!ot) and overprice. Like putting hi-res camera with ois, but with plastic scratchable lens and doesn't protect it with gorilla glass.
                                    Iphone is even better. Apple protect its lens with sapphire which is stronger than gorilla glass.
