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.

        The only one thing sony have done in x series induced me that they are going well is removing 4k vedio recording because it is the stupidest feature in a smartphone, overheats + a lot of storage + power hunger... But i just not understanding their marketing strategy.

          Sony = beautiful

          Compare to other phones, this phone still is the best. But, I am picky and I want the battery life to be much longer. This review is not that realistic, trust me.

            All is good except the price.

                    The biggest disappointment of this phone is the price.

                      They say that they have best phone camera.
                      But.. sadly they dont put gorilla glass protection on their lens. They made it from plastic with no protection at all.
                      Who are they?

                            S7 is far better than this
                            X performance look good in name only
                            samsung always listen to costumer

                              Jenny, 18 Jun 20165 inch? I can't even read an email on that, tiny mini scree... moreThe 5inch screen size is okay, if you love bigger you can wait the Ultra or choose something else.
                              IMO I found that the 6inch screen is better for elder or parent, it is more comfortable for reading every massage. The 5inch screen is better for grip, and the design is great, I think Apple and Samsung should learn the design from Sony.

                                It's the best Sony's got but it's the worst phone of the year
                                Still noisy and blurry picture quality.
                                Display is inaccurate, 5.7 average DeltaE score.
                                Bad battery life.
                                But sadly their fans still saying this is the best :(
