And the fingerprint reader won't work on the US version of the phone
It's hard to get excited about the Xperia X until we know how much it will cost. Things start to get interesting if it's around £350, but if it's priced similarly to the Galaxy S7, for example, the Xperia X is going to struggle to compete with its Full HD...
Over-vivid display colour for camera preview, Camera can't match the best, No 4K video capture
If Sony manages to keep the price low and make it affordable, then the X's premium-feeling build and sleek design will be a tempting buy for those looking for a daily driver, minus all the bells and whistles. The camera is promising, and we look forward...
Abstract: Say hello to your new Sony Xperia Z6. Sony has confirmed that it will be discontinuing its flagship Z series and moving its focus to its newly-refreshed X series. The Xperia X is actually one of three new X series phones coming to the UK this summer, and...
Boring design, Unreliable camera, Awful button placment, Far too expensive, Some performance niggles
Sony Xperia X – Battery Life Sony claims you'll get two days of use from the Xperia X. I haven't. And I'm doubtful whether you will either. It's a 2,620mAh cell, which may sound small but is meaty enough to get you through the day. But Sony's two-day clai...

Sony would like to position the Xperia X as a mid-range phone albeit with some serious premium credentials. They've largely succeeded. The work done with the camera is commendable and will only get better as the predictive hybrid autofocus advances. Actua...

elegant chassis, fingerprint sensor, 20 GB free storage space, Android 6.0, WiFi 802.11ac and LTE, high voice quality, good camera, bright display, high system performance, good battery life
expensive, no 4K video recordings, throttling under full load, poor micro SD transfer rates, non-removable battery, quick-charge power adapter only for a surcharge
The Sony Xperia X does a lot of things right, but cannot entirely live up to its self-imposed claim of being a top smartphone. Nevertheless, there are many arguments in favor of the 5-inch Android phone. It features an elegant case made of aluminum and pl...
Stylish design and metal construction, Quick charging and useful power saving modes, Fingerprint scanner, Android 6.0 Marshmallow and a simplified UI with useful pre-installed apps, Reasonable exterior temperatures after heavy workloads, 23MP camera with
A bit more expensive than expected, Lack of 4К video recording
Xperia X is a smartphone priced very similarly to the current premium devices, and this means high expectations on behalf of the users. This phone did well in our tests and we can't say that it has an obvious drawback. You don't get a Quad HD display but...
The Xperia X is a fantastic phone. It really is. Battery life is solid, performance and screen quality are decent, the camera manages to consistently impress, and it still manages to capture everything that makes Sony phones unique. The caveats here reall...

The Sony Xperia X represents a bit of a conundrum. The phone is a mid-range handset, but strives to be a flagship. The X doesn't offer some of Sony's best innovations, which makes it hard to take seriously as a flagship contender. Too bad, then, that Sony...
Fast Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor, Solid camera, Latest software and minimal bloatware, Expandable storage, IP68 waterproofing
Overheating issues in testing, Mediocre battery life, Relatively low-resolution display, No fingerprint scanner
The unlocked Sony Xperia X Performance packs a top-of-the-line processor and camera, but it's missing some key features you'd expect from a high-end phone, and it suffered from overheating in testing...
