Solid performance. Good camera. Expandable storage. Most bloatware, including stock apps, can be uninstalled.

Relatively expensive. Average specs. Not waterproof.

Software and Conclusions The Xperia X comes running Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow . Sony isn't necessarily the first manufacturer to roll out new updates, but it is one of the most reliable, usually updating its entire lineup, so it's a good bet the Xperia...

Beautiful display ; Metal back won't shatter like glass ; Battery lasts through the day

Wildly overpriced ; Uninspired design ; No fingerprint reader on US model

Great all-around camera ; Rich and quality app ecosystem ; Thin and light chassis ; Considerably better screen ; Faster performance all-around

With its more elegant body, better camera, faster chipset, and record LTE band support, the iPhone 6s seems destined to remain the popular choice compared to the Xperia X. Moreover, Sony priced its midranger just a hundred lower than the iPhone 6s,...

Less color-incorrect display ; Better-suited for heavy gaming ; Superior camera with 4K UHD video capture ; Stronger loudspeaker volume

Available for order at $549.99, the Xperia X is a smartphone that doesn't disappoint, but feels a bit too expensive for what it offers. And thanks to its seniority, the Xperia Z5 is dangerously close in terms of pricing—nowadays you can score one for...

Attractive, signature Sony design ; Very bright display ; Very good system performance

The back is very slippery ; Decidedly overstated color reproduction with the display ; Main camera has quite a few problems, including poor color fidelity, blur, noise, and lack of detail clarity ; None of the Big Four will carry it at launch ; No...

An edge in a world of round, the Sony Xperia X is a familiarly, but still rather uniquely, designed smartphone that we can't help but feel attracted to. It doesn't look or feel mellow at all, but it isn't overly imposing as are the likes of the HTC 10....

There’s brisk performance, a solid design and a camera capable of excellent daytime snaps. But for R11 999, you’d expect better low-light camera performance, a cutting-edge processor and a phone that doesn’t overheat (yet again). 6.5/10

Great UI ; Decent camera performance ; Functional design

Expensive ; Lower-powered "flagship" ; Average battery life

On its own, the Sony Xperia X is a smartphone that's comfortable on the hand, has a nice finish, easy to use, and it’s sweetened with flagship-tier mobile camera quality, even if it’s a slightly iffy at times. While Sony has every right to see their...

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...
