Pics come out grainy indoors and in low light conditions, if you switch to manual mode and change EV to +0.7 then you get good light but not great shots also it takes a long time to process the pics so you've to wait to take another shot which is quite annoying.

Been with the phone for almost a week now and here's the summary of my experience. I hope this helps you make a informed decision before buying.
Pros:
*Buttery smooth
*UI close to stock android
*No bloat
*Decent battery life considering the battery size (Last more than 2hrs with Pokemon GO with Battery Stamina mode enabled for performance)
*Great speaker quality
*Latest Android (7.1.1 with July Security Patch currently)
*Bright screen
*The colours of the camera images are great
Cons:
*Lack of 2.0 supported fast charger in box
*Overheating at times to extent that the camera instantly closes before I can even take a picture, not even going to bother with recording (Google Camera works fine at these times but I worry about frying my internals) (Even with no background apps running)
*Screen's colours are over saturated so don't go online shopping on this phone
*Camera has difficulty focusing, at most times the edges of the photo looks extremely blurry
*Manual camera option are too basic (Open Camera works fine to help get more control over your shot)
*Camera's flash is horrible
*2nd Sim slot is a hybrid SD slot (So you need to decide between an additional Sim or SD card)
Apart from the overheating and camera issues I'm loving the phone so far. It's been more than a year since the phone was released so I doubt these software issues will get fixed by Sony.
The price has dropped to an acceptable amount now. Check the Xiaomi Mi5s (SD 821, Sony IMX378 camera sensor, 3200mah battery) if you're looking for a different flavoured alternative.

I have read that unlike its bigger brother (Z5) the Nougat 7.1.1 update seem to have come out with no issues. Would anyone agree/disagree to that? I have also been researching that the speakers are actually louder now and battery life drain is not so much with the X. And I also heard the new Predicitive Hybrid AutoFocus is working wonders for the X's camera. Comment please?

A month ago or so I went the Phone Battles and see the overheating test for all XPERIA smartphones. And surprisingly XPERIA XZs & XPERIA XZ PREMIUM recording time is a LOT better than previous ones. I think they removed the overheating message? This one I am not sure

I faced this problem about camera shutting down due to overheating after a factory data reset but that's acceptable. Apart from that I haven't faced any such issue while taking pics.

Since XPERIA XZ PREMIUM in Phone Battles got more than 2 hours during the overheating test. He stopped the video because it took a long time recording 4K video. That is the best one I ever seen. 2 hours + with 4K recording with a decent amount of space for a 2 hour 4K video

Excellent camera clearity can beat i phone 6 s plus any time in terms of clearity.
But worst utility we can say camera is just show piece on this phone
For videos it can record upto 5 to 7 mins and camera shuts down due to rise in temperature and can bd used again after 10 mins.
For pics it can shoot 10 to 15 photos and shuts down due to temperature and can be used again after 10 mins.
Sony phones wre good only in camera department but now sony has started supplying crappy camera managment now its goodbye for sony.

After installing the android version 7.0 the phone is asking me again to update the android version but after installation it still appears to be 7.0. The bad thing is that the phone is asking me continuously to upgrade the system-android version after each update. I have even reset the device to factory setting but again the problem persist. Does anyone have the same problem? Please help...

I can't believe how much bloatware is still on Sony phones nowadays by default whereas Samsung was making all headlines those past years due to touchwizz. That's really a shame from news sites. Sony is way worst. My last Sony was Xperia Ray, i just bought the Xperia X due to specs/price ratio (245$ atm) but i had so many apps to disable right away?! Wtf, and i'm not done optimizing. Sony menus are too "heavy" but still performance seems good enough thanks to its 3gb ram i think with Nougat installed by default on mine.
And there's not even a file manager installed on it. If i remember correctly, it was the same thing on my old Ray with less bloatware (on Gingerbread, on kitkat, it was fully bloated).
Screen looks very good for a LCD.
Fingerprint unlocking seems to be very fast since i don't have time to see the lockscreen as soon as i push power button.
I'm disappointed by the loud speaker even with enabling sound enhancements, videos sound either weak or cheap (i have many other phones to compare to), maximizing volume will result in saturated sound with enhancements..
I haven't tried camera or even calls, i'm waiting for my cover to take it outside.
