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.

        meh, 04 Jul 2016The video reveals sony's tricks to gain more profit. 1. ... moreI already know that.
        Maybe sony is curently in financial problem. Thats why they keep r&d and services costs as minimum as possible. And sell their products expensive. Too bad, they really doing that. Now they will lose more customers.

            1. Make more plastic phones.
            2. Sell it very expensive like korean flagships.
            3. Brainwash the fans. Tell them it is a well optimized device without lag.
            4. After many people buy it, never give them good after-sale services.

            Thanks for the link :)
            Now i know the truth about sony's marketing tricks.

                  AnonD-391800, 02 Jul 2016I like your counter rethorics... ;-) Any claim I back up ... moreHave no idea what the first part that post is supposed to mean, its just gibberish.

                  As for camera 'proof' (which is a subjective concept in itself), yeah I offer the reviews I stated earlier, by doing a Google search for 'X Performance Review', none of which offer anything better than disappointing and underperforming verdict.

                  You see I trust the reviews done by sites like this one, its kind of the reason I read them in the first place. I read as many reviews as possible and look for the commonality between them.

                  One commonality is that the camera has issues. I'll give you just one quick example:

                  https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=qOkV2IhlWVU

                  Your on the other hand are just a fanboy, as such anything even remotely outside of your own bias influenced view is instantly dismissed as trolling or corporate sponsored slander.

                      Heatpipes is well-known as a paranoids (afraid of competition with koreans).
                      If you try give your little critic into sony article, then he will show up just to say "you are troll paid by koreans ! Go away !".

                        Any claim I back up with tests is an opinion, anything you opinionate from opinions of some other is true....
                        Flawless... Ly bad.

                        Have you offered any proof of your camera claims, or do you just like to copy paste written opinions?
                        But beware, I already have links to tests that dont support your opinionated claims, and tell quite a different story ;-)

                          Wow this'll go nowhere fast.

                          You can forward all the links you like. Of the many professional reviews (like the one on this very site) coming out now regarding this device the common consensus is as I have previously stated:

                          The X-P is an average device for 2016 that is over priced.

                          The camera set up under performs and over heats as per usual for a flagship Xperia phone.

                          Sorry you seem to take this news so hard, but there it is.

                          Your response will no doubt contain. The word 'troll' at least once.....

                            I talk about performance and offer proof of benchmarks and speed tests
                            I talk about camera and offer links, my own compares, and other compares for ppl to examine.
                            I talk about sound and offer yt compares for ppl to listen.
                            I talk about screen and offer yt compares for ppl to see.
                            You and other trolls...offer nothing than opinions about a rev here....

                            There lies the difference. ;-)

                              You'll see from Tann's recent reply to my comment, he says "So we all have different opinions, us fans and you trolls."

                              It appears that in order to have a valid opinion in Tann's eyes you have to think exactly as he does, or else your just a troll, he says so himself.

                                You said it yourself Tann "we think its the best device overall" that's an opinion, its not proof.

                                Look, call me and everyone else a troll all you like, as I previously said the accusation is meaningless.

                                Your posts are constantly presenting us with your 'Sony devices are the best at everything and have the best everything' views, of course such opinion is going to invite discourse.

                                If you can't handle that, take your opinions to the comments section of an official Sony site where it'll be all but guaranteed your fellow Sony fanboys will massage your delicate sensibilities by agreeing with everything you say.

                                  AnonD-553989, 02 Jul 2016Lol. Actually it is you who talk gibberish here. Ignoring ... moreTheres nothing wrong with plastic over metal frame, its either that or antenna stripes more prone to damage, its a better design language for metal covered phones.

                                  Bad service is subjective of just certain areas, for ex, where I live its excellent service, so I find your comment quite speculative and toi generalising.

                                  Price is good, you can get it for 650$ from amazon, which is on par with other flagships, that all offer sth better and sth worse in that price range.

                                  You mentioned plastic cover for camera module on this device, but I could not find any proof of your claim anywhere. So just bash speculations.
                                  Even if true, which I believe it isnt but just protection film covered glass, it isnt a con since camera module design allows it as it does not protrude and is not prone to damage.

                                  So actually all your comments are subjective, just your opinions.

                                      All I do for ex, is provide links and compares to prove its an excellent device
                                      And I reply with proof when someone puts a bashing unsubstantiated comment, like for ex the antutu bigger score, or 4k video capability, etc....
                                      And you trolls just seem to take that info as some personal insult, come in with bash, untrue and hate comments....
