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.

But carry on spouting it by all means if it makes you happy

          Bashing a product without proper facts, but just by namecalling or some subjective opinions about OTHER devices,
          or insulting sony users for supporting and giving some actual facts about the device... is trolling.

          And theres A LOT of that here in this thread.

          And therefore trolls should be named as such....
          Simple as that.

          P.S. I remember having a discussion about 4k video on X Performance ( one of biggest troll feed about this device) with some certain trolls, getting bashed and insulted about it. Now that facts support my given claims, they remain without comment on the subject.
          And for that, I have every right to call them as such. ;-)

            They put bad comments (or critics) to sony, and then you said that they are trolls.

              You dont accept the weakness of your sony (like cheap plastic scratchable cam lens, bad services in some countries, overprice, and plastic frame). And you always put your angry "troll" comments to all sony news.

                    Its your attitude I find to be juvenile.

                    That said I don't speak the language spoken in that video, so whatever point you were hoping would be made is lost I'm afraid.

                      You have to change more different ID and different user name, if you understand what are talking about in the section 4.00 to 12.30 inside the video.

                        And I stand by my comment regarding your bias, the review on this very site makes it quite clear that this device is far from a world beater.


                        You were the one to post that spec list, at least half of which were standard points relating to all SD820 devices, the rest simply marketing rhetoric.

                        The fact is this,the X-P is an extremely tough choice as far as recommendation is concerned, largely based on its ludicrous price.

                        And that's what I have been pointing out, you calling it bashing just reveals your simple childlike logic on the matter.

                          Lex79, 28 Jun 2016Well Heatpipes and those like him are never going to be sat... moreI admit Xperia X performance is a great phone, but I didn't said it is the best. So, could you please don't trolling me?

                          I also said choose what your love, but I always found you always trolling and bashing in Sony Xperia pages, it is your job?

                                Next year all trusted vendor maybe will use UHD screen(run UHD not FHD/not gimmick) and SD830. If Chinese and Sony stick with FHD, sure they will scores better than UHD phones. Does it mean we can compare cheap flagship with true flagship with uhd screen?. No.

                                Bcz the cheaper the screen the better the performance. Simple as that.

                                  And he clearly said its because of the resolution. Don't cite composite benchmarks unless you understand what they're composed of.
