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.

    i completely agree with the harsh criticism, but to sony's defence their prices fall a lot quicker than htc or samsung (not lg). for instance in my country a z3+ (or z4) is priced exactly the same as an s5 (a previous gen flagship) and the z5 is no more expensive than a regular s6. of course, lg beats all of them, as a g4 costs just 300 euro.

      Very unimpressive. Are Sony really even trying? Upper midrange with poor battery life at best, though very overpriced too.

        why they have to bother...
        they are out of touch with the market or they just want to milk the brand loyalty of some buyers.

            Oh wow, really bad post processing! what horrible output from the camera. So fake.
            They need to give us RAW so that we can take advantage of that nice camera.
            It's so weird how they post processing the living out of it yet in my Sony a6000 (APS-C camera) the output is very natural, noisy and still bad noise reduction algorithm but I can turn off NR if I want to, but natural and not over sharpened.

            As usual, Sony doesn't know how to make use of their own sensors and other companies do a better job. This has been going on since the first Z phone.

                [deleted post]Yep everything on this phone is just perfect. (Sarcasm)

                Just stick your head in the sand and keep dreaming that. (Not Sarcasm)

                        -Polycarbonate frame (Plastic)
                        -No Fast charging out of the box (S7 gives you this)
                        -No Radio
                        -No 4K recording (Sony fanboys dreamed this would be added at the last second)
                        -Big Bezel
                        -Heavy
                        -Bland design
                        -No Fingerprint for US model
                        -Joke battery life (despite having only 1080p screen)
                        -Power hungry SD820 (Sony fanboys said this was more efficient than SD650 and Exynos)
                        -No small apps (Very useful feature)
                        -Loses to SD820 S7 on 8 out of the 10 benchmarks.
                        -Below average front facing stereo speakers
                        -20GB of 32GB internal memory free
                        -Audio output volume is below average.
                        -Noisy camera
                        -Poor dynamic range
                        -Panorama still a joke
                        -1080p recording can even compete with the best
                        -Last but not least, price.

                        All in all, what a joke of a phone.

                          What can i say really?

                          Everything i said about this joke of a phone in the X Performance forum turns out to be true.

                          How long did Sony fans wait for this? Half a year?

                          61 hours, LOL what a joke. So much for Qnovo tech.

                          Sony has no one to blame but themselves.

                          Could have put 3000+mah battery but no.
