Description

"Always one step ahead" - this is the tagline the Sony Xperia X is promoted with. It hints at the phone's ability to "predict" the direction of moving objects, thus ensuring accurate focus when taking photos. Speaking of photography, the phone's main camera is a key selling feature, with 23MP of resolution, super-wide viewing angles, and extremely fast autofocus. We're also promised great battery life with Sony's optimizations, added on top of Android 6.0. As for the handset itself, it is designed in typical, stylish Sony fashion, with straight lines and flat sides. For convenience's sake, you get a fingerprint scanner embedded in the power button (not available in the US), as well as front stereo speakers. However, water resistance - a feature found on many other Xperia models - has been skipped.

This device is also known as Sony F5121, Sony F5122

Sony xperia x proud user
Phone owned for less than a year

An amazing smartphone that Sony killed it with its entail price around 600$, i bought this phone 64GB for around 300$ 8 months ago and couldn't believe myself, this phone is catching up with the flagships easily, and the best buy for me, Dual sim and hybrid sd card up to 256GB.
Note if you are encountering camera shut down and overheat report then you are certainly recording video with 1080p 60fps stabilization active, and this is very common for such a massive task, if you want 60fps for long time then you need to deactivate the stabilization.

Most Perfect Sony Xperia phone till date
Phone owned for less than a month

I am using this phone Xperia X 64GB since last 3 weeks now. Below is my honest view:

Background: I have used Lumia 830, Xperia Z, Xperia Z1 Compact, Mi5, Redmi 2, HTC Butterfly 2, One Plus X, iPhone 6S and now this phone.
My last phone: iPhone 6S 64 GB

In the past, I was always let down by Sony, despite being a fan of their excellently designed phones.
Largely due to-
1. Heating issues
2. Bezel sizes, too uncomfortable to hold
3. Slow Camera

All the 3 shortcomings have been fixed with this phone. Removing waterproof, and glass back ensured better heat dispassiation. At 69 mm its easy to hold in hand. And camera shutter speed has improved a lot and is now fast.

Also Sofware UI has been refreshed, and now its very very lightweight, almost near stock experience with touches of Sony. With superfast fingerprint reader.

What more you you need from a phone?
I dont care about benchmarks, for me all 3D games run smoothly.
Price?
I paid Rs.53500 for iPhone 6S 64 GB, now I realise for this price X is more value for money.
Specs/Price ratio?
Chinese brands sure do give you specs, but they lack longetivity, quality, stability, and most important they lack a soul/character. They simply don't have the class.

Sony is a legacy brand and this phone is the most Perfect Sony Phone till date. Go ahead, you wont be disappointed. I guarantee.

Xperia X
Phone owned for less than a month

Good smartphone, better than any other phone, bit pricier, but definitely better than phonearena review scores. Don't be foolish by looking at the snapdragon 650, it's doing its job perfectly, even better than snapdragon 810.
