Sony Xperia X - User Reviews

  • Hi! I own a Sony Xperia X as a backup phone now. Hardware is a well-built and performant phone. Software, is a less successful phone. The Android operating system makes this phone move slowly many times, and the lack of software updates leads to the occurrence of errors in some applications, sometimes the phone restarts itself.

  • Yeah, sd 650 is notorious for overheating

  • Nonsense. My redmi note 3 has a sd 650 and it heats up really quickly

  • Wifi and internet Data connectivity is very Bad. Not running proper.

  • i have this phone for almost 2 years,the camera is good but if you use vedio the battery will quickly heat, and also the quickly drain, i have consern also for wifi connectivety very bad ,

  • Absolutely agree. I've been holding this phone for 2 years

  • Thus a great cell and older one Sony that works likes a charm! Hehehe

  • The screen broke easily and badly. The charging port is also damaged. I've heard all Sony phones develop charging port problem. Took it to a lot of shops and they said they don't have the replacement parts. The performance is fine. Nothing great but it is as you'd expect from Snapdragon 650. It handles PUBG fine on smooth/balanced graphics and medium Framerate. There is no thermal throttling/overheating. The battery timing is short but it is as you would expect from a 2600 mAh battery. Camera is good. I've seen better noise management in low light, but other than that, its camera works great.

  • Great for photos better than any brand, good colour reproduction, great display, but when it comes to battery and heating problems its hurting, when turn on mobile data its heating, cant play pub g without fan and wifi :(

  • Mine works perfectly fine though

  • I've had this phone for almost one and a half year and I'm sorry to say it sucks. I've had phones age so much better than this one is, right now I can barely touch it when it's charging until it's at 10% or it will discharge so fast. I've got to charge it twice a day and sometimes that isn't enough. The camera and price is why I bought it, but now I feel like I should've looked into the chipset and the battery more. Also sometimes it just turns off. Seemingly it gets overheated, ironically it reminds me of when a computer just freezes. Too often apps stop also. If you're a heavy phone user, don't buy this one.

  • OTG pendrive not working & Charging time 5 hour. What should I do?

  • I also repaired using this. It was the hardest to remove the front and back panels. You also need a thin double-sided tape to attach the front panel.

  • I have a problem i had thia phone it was the best phone i ever had. Owned. I accidentally broke the screen and cant find the lcd screen panel in pakistan. I am in love with this device please help me out where can i find thw lcd panel for xperia x. Also it has two models compact and performance as well and someone sneakily sold me performance one. I was devastated. And i found out that while replacinf the lcd screen you need to have the glue thing as well. Otherwise it won't stick... Please helppppppppp.

  • I need some help with this phone. I bought it and it was the best phone i had until i accidentally broke the screen. Cant find a replacement in pakistan. Can anyone please help me find parts andnif the screen(i heard) is replaced you also need a glue kit for the replacement to stick. I am in deep waters here. Please help me out.

  • Great phone and light to carry. Software needs to repair once in 2 years.

  • Great phone, No overheating Great camera Battery life good Good size Smooth performance Would recommend,

  • I have one how to solve wifi problem?

  • Ample disappointments! Severe heating problems! Easily draining battery! No convincing features! But look of phone is fabb!!

  • Heats up considerably for normal usage, lags,cannot handle gaming applications very well.Had to replace the battery and the charging port.Its not the worst phone, but pretty close

  • I`ve owned this phone ever since It came out, I have to say that I`m abosolutely happy with my choice and would buy a Sony brand phone again.

  • Xperia XA2 is the closest. It has Snapdragon 630 who is on pair with power of Snapdragon 650 used in Xperia X, but SD630 is much mbetter in battery consuption. Other stuff are basicly the same, except design of the phone and unlocked 4k video shooting, which you will hardly ever use since it doesn't have OIS or any IS, so you need a stative for that.

  • I Have the Xperia X and has been a nightmare since the first month after the first system update, very often have to be reload the system, issue with charger etc, so I got to the point with the Company to get a replacement device and would like to know if you guys have better knowleges to the best close model to Xperia X considering, sensors, cameras 23 and 13 MP and RAM 3 and proccesor. thank you in advance any help

  • Worst phone ever. Will not buy any Sony smartphone again.

  • can separate apps be installed in the different user accounts & wont reflect on another?

  • Thanks for the reply Nick Would you say the z3 sd801 would be a better option? I know you mentioned newer phones with newer sd versions but as a tempory 2nd phone option, I'm sure these offer good value especially if it can be found at good prices.

  • You can get SailfishOS to this phone from It makes this phone more appealing.

  • I have the device. Bought it waiting for a complete Sailfish X version which never came.. You can add up to 5 different user accounts. You can have encryption on parts of memory but for folders you need extra software. It's a great device, but I wouldn't recommend it in late 2018. Reasons: battery, camera overheating, phone in general overheating, it cannot cope with the times. Go for an 8xx processor better. E.g. Pixel, S8, Oneplus 5T

  • Probably the charge port. Mine stopped working last week after the heating issue had been going on a while. Still have warranty on it so it's getting fixed now.

  • is this phone worth getting 2nd hand (at a good price) at the end of 2018? how is the overall experience from oreo? can you create different user accounts & have like a secure folder?

  • You can. Use 2amp charger with good cable, turn off network and some times getting heat but casually cool out from charger unplugged

  • i have the same problem, sometimes turning off the phone and charging it when it's off works that's the only advice i can give. I think it's either the battery or the charger port

  • have you tried different charging cable and plug??? if still same then its phone problem...

  • no it's glass

  • I have a problem with the battery, when i recharge it the level increases very slowly like 26% for more than 1 hour. Sometimes did not increase!!!! What's your recommendations please??

  • there is no Oreo 8.1 the latest update is oreo 8.0.0 you ll only receive security patches but not for ever even the security will stop soon the phone is 2 years old

  • Im 34.4.A.2.70 . :(

  • sir is 7.1.1 better than 7.0 in battery

  • mine is at 34.4.A.2.85 I AM IN SAUDI

  • now i at 34.4.A.2.107. what about you???. new one should be around next...

  • after update

  • Why does the video camera only lists 30fps in 1080p on the specs section? This phone allows for 1080p60fps video recording.

  • Hi guys, Anyone still getting updates? security patch ? I am not..

  • Great phone. Has by now lasted me already two years and the battery still barely got any worse, lasting me for 2 days before recharging.(medium to frequent user) Everything still works, rarely ever freezes or requires a restart and if, it is usually because of an app and not because of the phone.(facebook for example) Fingerprint sensor works reasonably well, but definitely not the best, especially not compared to the newer phones. And of course sadly a lot of bloatware, but that's the trade-off when you take a Sony phone.

  • Sounds like your phone might have inadvertently downloaded adware / malware. Use an anti-malware app to remove them. I personally used Malwarebytes to remove adware on my Xiaomi phone. And take care not to download any dubious apps or connect to random unprotected wi-fi access points in the future.

  • I have a terrible security problem, I am getting popup ads on any screen and app while using, aswell as my phone starting to vibrate with these apps randomly until I force restart. I have never experienced this happen on any of my other 6 sony's

  • me also effect this problem

  • After updating my phone to the latest security patch, the rear camera doesn't work but the selfie 1 is fine n whenever i tried to switch to the rear 1 some glitches in the screen happens ?!!!! Anyone has experienced that

  • I waiting for oreo 8.1 hope for new android arrival

  • this phone gonna get android P???hehehe does oreo still unstable in term of battery and heating?i used nougat and so far no problem

  • Yes, It is made of plastic and very easy to scratch My phone has many scratches on it and the picture quality is so poor

  • Build and design are great imho, I loved the minimalist slab look of the z5 and this just builds on that. Theres nothing really wrong with it, except it gets a bit hot and the battery life is pretty poor. Couldn't Sony have simply put a 3000+ mAh battery in it? I really don't care about a 6 core processor, power efficiency is more important in a phone. A 1.5Ghz quad core would do me fine. Also it will record at 4k, but you have to use a 3rd party camera app like open camera to do it. Problem is it heats up pretty quick in this mode so no wonder Sony left it off. I did pick this up for £140 though, and a portable power bank fixes the battery issue.

  • Is the camera lens made of plastic like the Z5 series or glass?

  • Yes i have same problem

  • Yes

  • Heating - yes, the normal heat for the thermal is 37->44 degree Celsius, while gaming heavy 3D game (like modern combat or ff XV pocket edition), it gets to 54 degree Celsius and NO, it doesn't affect battery life, it's just hot. battery life of SOT: 4 hours + if you put the stamina mode at 30 percent my daily usage involve youtube (count in hours), 2d and 3d gaming (1 hours) and web surfing+reading. Once I used alot of camera work for vacation, it gets to 3 hours + of SOT only Oh and camera heat up ?? Yeah, not too much, still heat up badly if you tend to record a full 30 minutes vid of 1080 hd 60 fps though.

  • are u facing any heating or battery issues after Oreo update?

  • Can we use a Qualcomm 3.0 charger on this? because of snapdragon 650

  • This phone is just at OK level, neither utterly satisfying nor traumatizing. I bought this phone because I want don't want to pin my face onto the phone's screen but still get the job done throughout the day with its decent battery and fluid performance. btw, oreo gets you 2D face unlock

  • Slower charging speed after the last patch, not an issue for me but just informing.

  • This phone is rather expensive if u compare with others , and the camera is not as good as what the others say, cannot auto focus well at all and heat up fast. The battery also dies fast too...

  • I have flashed it with Sailfish X and this pretty good

  • I own an Xperia X F5121 32GB and just by updating the system pass to use 14GB of storage, there are a lot of software bloat. Speed is not a problem, animations even look smoother, but there are certain unacceptable points like: 1) Photo Upload absolutely not working for OneDrive and probably other Cloud Services. 2) Photo gallery stays in "processing changes" for hours, days even weeks... you have to "force stop" and restart the system. SwiftKey is not an option and perfomances slow (the truth) and feels like a cheap keyboard response. 3) Photo camera usually crashes, or saves the half of the picture (vertically) you will lose a lot of moments 4) Bluetooth pairing lost its spark, not it's slow shows a lot of errors and disconnect by unstable connections (1 feet distance). 5) Wifi perfomance even go worst (less distance and less speeed). Honestly, don't buy it, with Nougat or Oreo still a bad phone. Pay more for an iPhone 8 Plus and will not be disappointed you get what you paid (with iPhone) that's my personal opinion, don't want to bother no body nor be offensive, just what I think, good luck! :D

  • How is the performance of this phone in Oreo?

  • I feel more fluid. And it keeps the applications better in memory.

  • you should open xz page and read the opinion. so far xperia x have good battery consumption as long not used animated wallpaper and other apps which running at background.

  • Are there any further changes after this month update or just regular security update?

  • hey guys! This one or xzs for all day battery? Watching youtube, taking pictures, browsing web and light games.

  • Any one here can tell me the current version of your sony dialer application? i just downloaded apk from apkmirror. And i think it little bit unstable. So there any chance i can use the stock version

  • No way, I have it with Andoid 8.0, last year with 7.0; maybe you should call your cell company if you already tried the Sony Pc Companion.

  • Mine is still stuck on android 6.0 and works very well. Any sugestion how to update to at least nougat?

  • After the very last update, I feel my cellphone works well, no lag ,no ambient sensor problem, but the battery is drained too fast! Even in standby mode. I've checked the battery usage in setting and found that "phone idle" and "Android Os" devour the battery I need to charge battery 2 times a day. Sony , solve the problem please 🙄

  • before it was good to play A8. now is not. new update cause the A8 to have delay start which everybody will start race ahead of you around 5-15 second. dont know what the cause. PUBG so far ok

  • How is this phone for gaming like asphalt 8 or PUBG?

  • I've just got google lens in my assistant app

  • Yes. This was a security patch as you read in the changelog.

  • Has anyone received any update after android 8 of 300 MB approximately?

  • Wow, it is a little too early for u huh, the display on my XPERIA X doesn't pose any issues yet, and it is still working well after 2 years

  • My opinion about Android 8 on this device: The camera did not improve the quality but if the speed in the interface and capture. The sound through the headphones sound higher I would say at an average volume and that is excellent compared to before I had a very low output. The battery gives me the impression that it is the same without changes. The animations are slower, it feels slower in the application drawer. Automatic brightness works faster. The miracast does not work well on my Blu-ray which before the update worked fine. It no longer heats anything. In general, the update has been positive.

  • Sony updated this phone to 8.0.0 only not even 8.1. Frankly, the animations were faster on android nougat and phone felt a bit less bloated than now.

  • This device is 2 years old, it's end of support now. All you may get is a few more sec patches but no more bug fixing.

  • Android Oreo is very experimental, so it has a few issues but those will be fixed with updates over time. Be patient.

  • hi, i want to ask your opinion on Oreo update.i used xperia x 7.0 build model 34.2.A.2.47 which an old one and it is stable. no overheating,no crash and overall a good experience. does Oreo or android 8.0 give a better result?any other problem i should know?

  • I have burn in too on my Xperia x.....

  • Stop posting nonsense,,, we already know your a competition from C companies

  • i have burn in now in the display after android oreo , i think its very poor phone i dont recommend it to any one

  • Thus SONY X is a little beast of cell.

  • If u are asking on brands, it is based on your own personal preference. Right now it is based on which brand u like more

  • well...for me it was fixed with next updates after oreo....at least 90% of the problem....i mean the light sensor still doesn t work perfect but it s nowhere near as agressive as it was right after the oreo update....and i didn t have any problems with the accelerometer....yet :)

  • I have the same light sensor problem after oreo update, also accelerometer sensor, content does not auto rotate anymore when I use my phone in landscape mode. Please Sony fix this.

  • plz suggest me for buy the good brand.. sony or motorola?

  • How about pictures? Why are so poor quality

  • Yes

  • i received a theme update today...

  • Yep, and if he wants very less throttling, get those with the SNAPDRAGON 835 or newer ones, even though it is way more expensive, it is worth it if one wants very less chipset throttling. Not saying these older smartphones are bad, but, the chipsets heat up way faster than it is for the 2017 ones

  • Guys now my X cant lock gps satelites location in maps application. Anybody here face the same problem after upgrade to oreo? or maybe is this hardware related issues? Pls advice guys, my X still rocks after 2 years except this annoying problem. Dont want to part with this phone yet :(

  • You need to get one of the 2017 and beyond of xz models to be a decent upgrade.

  • If I come from a Samsung Galaxy Note 5, and want to buy a Sony smartphone at a reasonable price, is this (Xperia x) a good option or must I go for the XA2 or the XA1?

  • Hi All. My Sony Xperia X is having a blur camera after I recently changed the screen of the phone. I can no longer capture clear images. Please what could be the solution to this? Every other thing works fine, apart from the Camera being very blur when trying to snap. Thanks

  • Latest build number?

  • I am having 4-5 hours SOT watching YouTube, web browsing, playing PUBG and other game.

  • hye guys, is it normal if your SOT is 2-3hrs only? all i do is watching downloaded videos, fb, instagram the first time i got this phone before oreo update, the sot is around 3-6hrs on youtube, fb n insta .. so is it normal or no? thx

  • Thanks a lot brother Ali Basher..

  • after updatting 8.0 oreo,I can't receive file through share it software.Let me solution.

  • Nice to know. Thnk by the way.

  • Just normal.

  • Sure brother 1)do you mean battery care feature?? No it is not available in xperia x but you can download it. 2)yes it is available 3)smart cleaner?? Yes it is there 4)it is available 5)not sure, couldn't find such feature 6)couldn't find this feature too 7)available, press and hold the power button 8)Notifications led, it is a basic feature in a smartphone and yes it is available.

  • How the battery performance in oreo? Is it worth to update from 7.1.1 nougat?

  • Bro Ali would u kindly ans to my query..

  • Xa1+ has almost similar performance but double battery life.

  • Xperia X or Xa1+ in Performance and Battery ?

  • Me too :)

  • Got april update

  • received april update...:)

  • Today i received a happy xperia birthday from Sony for a 1 year of usage of this phone, and i have no idea that i bought this phone last year like this day, thank you Sony for the free theme :).

  • PubG the only content that made my phone heat up, but i didn't notice any lag, maybe because i didn't last too long in the arena XD.

  • dont worry your phone wont explode lmao

  • Its probaly you set ur graphics and frame rate high. I play on smooth and medium. Theres no lag except if the phone heats.

  • Something u should know about PUBG in smartphones is that it is still not optimized well, it is released about a week or so ago. Using my XPERIA XZ to play also lags, this applies to me using one of my high-end flagships XPERIA XZ PREMIUM, my mother's GALAXY S8, and my father's HUAWEI P10 PLUS, all of them lag, except the XPERIA XZ PREMIUM and GALAXY S8 didn't lag as much. If this is the case, then wouldn't your XPERIA X be worse than that? I am not even taking the risk to play it on my XPERIA X!

  • The phone has heating problem. When playing 3D games like pubg mobile, it lags. But playing in a cold room doesnt lag tho.

  • In my case, intensive use of social media: 4-6 hours of SOT (one whole day) while I'll get two days if I use it periodically, I'll get 4 hours SOT throughout two days. Battery life on Xperia X Oreo is solid but not spectacular.

  • My dear brother,pls tell me, is the followingling feature s present in xperia x or in any other single xperia phone, 1.intuitive charging 2double tap to wake up 3 junc file cleaning system 4 qnovo charging system 5 ringtone of incoming call silencing option after picking up the phone 6 call rejecting option after keeping the phone facing downward 7 screen shot option 8 light blinking system on the upper corner of the phone

  • How is battery life on xperia x? Screen on time? Can battery last one day with normal usage?

  • Firstly, the GALAXY A5 2017 is definitely out of this, because it has the least performance in the list, and also the amount of updates it received compared to the other two is way lesser. So I guess let us compare the XPERIA X to the HUAWEI HONOR 8 then. If u are referring to the overall, the HONOR 8 gives u a slight advantage, a slight advantage on the performance, RAM, a few part of the camera (The presence of having a 2nd camera for bokeh, and the presence of having 1080p60fps option), USB-C, and the battery. If u don't care about the minor advantages of the HONOR 8, the XPERIA X is a better choice, not only because I have it but also because of some aspects. The display, both may be somewhat the same, but XPERIA X's brightness is much brighter than the HONOR 8 based on this site's testing, and because of Sony's TRILUMINOS display technology, it is able to produce a wider range of colours, probably more vibrant than HUAWEI's, pairing up with X-Reality, u will end up getting true to life colors better than the HONOR 8 in my own opinion. Another aspect is the software, it looks simplistic and feels snappy (Sames goes to how EMUI feels), but with the frequent update. even though it is released earlier than the HONOR 8, it gets ANDROID OREO, and from my observation especially with that version, it feels much more snappier and better performance compared to the previous versions it had, also with better memory management

  • Pls help,which phone: - Honor 8 - Samsung galaxy a5 2017 - Sony xperia X

  • I would go for the Xperia X Samsungs UI is heavy and the CPU is avarage, while the xperia has light skin and a top mid ranger SOC. If you want performance id go for the xperia X.

  • Thank you!

  • Samsung Galaxy A5(2017) is better than xperia x. better in term of camera,support and physical attribute.

  • Moreover the Samsung has also IP68 waterproofing which the Sony does not have at all, and a screen which is not "3d curved", which turns in more precise tempered glasses for screen protection.

  • Two good phones, comparable performances - however I'd go for the Samsung, much better autonomy.

  • Please, help me to choose. Sony Xperia X or Samsung Galaxy A5(2017)? Or other phones under 350 eur?

  • Thank you for correct me.

  • This phone is still getting updates...impressive!

  • The design of Xperia X is unified

  • Double tap for wake up and screen off is very smooth after march update.

  • Got March update

  • The trolls confuse people because the design language and color description is not the same thing, I am here to clarify the design language of Xperia X is omni balance and for Xperia XZ2 is Ambient Flow, the color is not the means of design language. Please note that if I reply there, they will repeat the same story and flooding with the same comments like a hanged AI.

  • Idk man, different people different mindsets. I don't bash brands, I don't accuse trolls, I talk facts to those who are wrong, simple

  • why so sensitive? you stll mad? this is just a phone dude.. just a brand

  • your f@nb0y friend is really funny. he's been like that since 2015. lol. always acuusing everybody trolls. haahaa

  • As the trolls reaction Water and Liquid and Air already registered by HTC so Sony only can use omni balance even the Ambient Flow also declare copy HTC because the trolls say Sony copy HTC and HTC is full of air designs.

  • 8 is excellent.

  • I'm buying Sony Xperia X. Which OS better - 6 or 8?

  • I guess Rose Gold? I chose Graphite Black because it looks sleek and professional...

  • I love Xperia X because it is the first X from Sony with Qnovo battery charging technology. It has fingerprint scanner mounted on the side frame. Can anyone tell me which color look beautiful, note that I am not talking to the design language.

  • Yep, and of course, the old EXYNOS 7870, even though it is excellent in terms of battery life, on the other hand the performance is purely mediocre. I used my XPERIA X one time instead of my high end flagships to play a game, as of that time, Clash Royale. My friend uses a GALAXY J7 PRIME, and guess what? When u are scrolling through your cards in the game, my friend's smartphone is stuttering while mine is not. This is basically in my own usage, and it applies to other games that we played similarly, the same results came. In regards to the low-light performance, even though XPERIA X's photo came out noisy at night, it doesn't get as blurry as the J for the motion when u move your smartphone around which is one factor that made the J a mediocre performer for normal users who don't use tripods. A few friends of mine used the GALAXY J7 PRIME, they post photos on Instagram and sometimes it is at low-light situations and one thing I always see on their GALAXY J7 PRIMEs: the blurriness when u move your smartphone around, the motion. For those saying "Oh u are actually talking about its predecessor", yeah I am talking about its predecessor, because I don't expect a major improvement for the camera quality, even the hardware is almost the same as before

  • Yeah, every time, when you take pictures in 23mp. That's because the chipset is capable of 21mp at most.

  • I have an Xperia X F5121 and I am disappointed of the camera performance in low light. I want to know if Meizu M6 Note does have a greater performance in low light from someone who has used both phones. Thanks.

  • Except the battery life the Sony xperia x is superior to the j7 pro, however i don't recommend the j7 pro anyway because there is a lot of complaints about the touch screen.

  • Xperia x or j7 pro?

  • No

  • So far no issues, except when you take multiple photos rapidly you will minor stutters.

  • Sony xperia xz no brainer.

  • How about camera after new update? Still lags a few second after take a photo? Anyone have this issue?

  • Still not getting oreo update in the philippines

  • Definitely XZ as Xperia X is a medium range and xz is a flagship with many better features include quick charge 3 and also better battery life.

  • Hey buddies, I have the choice between this xperia X and the xperia XZ, which one do you recommend me? I use my phone mainly for reading books, social media and texting, no game, so my main concern is the battery life, the durability (I change my phone only each 2/3 years) and one that does not heat. Thank you

  • Update: performed a factory reset and everything is much better now. Battery life, performance, storage - all excellent. Especially performance, this thing flies.

  • I have a problem with my headphones. They're a pair of Sony XB80BS. And when they are connected to my phone i can't use my wi fi, and the sound skips often. Anyone else having this problem. The earphones are LDAC enabled. Is there a way to deactivate that LDAC codec?

  • Do not upgrade! If you're on 7.1.1. stay on it. Battery life is pretty much the same, you'll get around 4 to 6 hours of SOT but performance is just awful especially multitasking, I have experienced a reload on every single app, every time. Really disappointed.

  • You mean the adaptive brightness, yes it is over-responsive and driving me nuts sometimes :D.

  • only with the camera problem ,when you take a picture with 23 megapixels, it crashes and blocks,need to wait some time for next shoot, Android 8.0 its not for this phone.recommended

  • Does anyone else have problems with the light sensor after the oreo update?

  • Sure, once it is officially launched or precisely after few months.

  • Any chance getting 8.1?

  • someone from Argentina or Chile who has reached the update to Android 8?

  • It is acceptable currently running ANDROID OREO for me, the only time it shows the overheating message is when I just exited from any of my installed high graphics game which I played for almost 30mins

  • My xperia x charges from 0 to 100% in 2:25 with the original charger came with the box 5v 1.5A.

  • Heating issues doesn't exist basically except in some heavy tasks i heats up normally, recording 1080p 60fps especially with steady shot or 4k "not available in this mobile" can cause overheating but again it is normal thing for such a heavy task.

  • The camera has problem focusing, not the fastest but pretty solid overall. Would recommend.

  • Is heating issue in camera okay after oreo update????

  • Average 5h30m SoT, with traditional charger 0-100% in almost 3 hours (0-50% 1h20m) But if you charge it with Qualcomm Certified 2.0/3.0 fast charger, which was btw not included in the box, so I had to buy it, you can manage from 0-100% in 2 hours (0-50% 35m) P.S.: My Xperia X is a year and half old phone and I am an average user, so keeping that in mind the results for others can be different.

  • Is this good to buy in 2018 ?

  • What's your average SOT ? How long does it take to charge from 0 - 100% ?? I'm planning to buy this device.

  • New system update...

  • If you are in need of a crazy battery life then get the xa1 plus if you are good with average battery life then the xperia x is better in most aspects.

  • Which is better XA1 Plus or X ?

  • outor very heat .automatic set is heat.open video not opend video

  • No such issue in my xperia x after Oreo, hard rest is recommended.

  • after updating to OREO i am facing a issue that when i open Bluetooth my phone got hanged...please let me know anyone is facing the same issue and what is the solution??

  • My oreo on xperia x has some issues ... I think the heating goes very fast than nougat ... The battery is lack too mean not longer ...

  • Yes

  • Hi! Is this capable of reading usb otg?

  • i bought the phone yesterday, marshmallow is so laggy cant even play well. started to update to Nougat, now its a game changer. the phone is smooth and fluidic, but then the heating issue never fades but lessen after nougat update. front cam is a shit even in nougat. sorry im an avid iphone fan maybe im not used to an android's front cam. rear cam is better. sound is kinda loud. im thinking of upgrading it to oreo this night but im still gonna wait for some reviews on it. battery life is i dont know coz i bought the phone just for playing. network reception is good. overall score 8/10.

  • Is anyone have issues writing data to their SD cards after the Oreo update?

  • Maybe not because Xperia X and X Performance have different battery capacity. And it is almost impossible to change to any higher battery capacity unless it's OEM battery made.

  • Yes, after you shoot a pic it takes a while in order to view it

  • Did any body's 23mp camera get laggy after shooting a photo in Android 8.0?

  • After almost a week with the update, and after a clean install, I notice faster battery drain, no new call dialer, just a few useless animations here and there and the WiFi signal drops at random during the day. Very dissatisfied 😒

  • Sony xperia xz1 better, and strong with everything

  • Can I replace my battery battery with battery xperia x performance?or maybe higher capacity battery?

  • Same with me

  • thanks mate! big help!

  • Are you kidding me?! of course the xz1, much better in everything battery life, speakers, performance, zero thermal issues and many other advantages.

  • hey mate. you alse replied on my query on SOny Xperia XZ1. so let me ask you, what should i get? XZ1 or X? i just need a mobile for gaming. thanks

  • I used to play mobile legends on my xperia x, battery life 4 hours continues gaming it varies with the screen brightness of course, youcan use stamina mode to extend battery life, it gets pretty warm in summer, gaming experience is perfect "keep in mind this game uses to be very buggy", the front facing stereo speakers will please you in gaming certainly.

  • Nope, i have 40% ram free with plenty of apps installed.

  • have you noticed RAM usage, it increased to 2GB compared to 1.5GB in the last OS

  • it depends on your location, don't worry will be sent to you shortly

  • Hi. i would like to ask how is the performance of this phone when it comes to gaming? like Mobile Legends, Rules of Survival, or any online game that takes 20-30 minutes per match. how is the battery consumption, heating issues, lags? or any info that you may want to share with me. thanks.

  • how to get ambient display on xperia x

  • I havent recieved a oreo update in my xperia x F5121

  • Battery life in ANDROID 8.0.0 is almost the same as what I got in ANDROID 7.1.1, don't expect much from ANDROID OREO. But, the update made my XPERIA X better stability in terms of performance and RAM management, a breeze in multitasking for me, I am satisfied with ANDROID OREO

  • For me, it is improved a lot.

  • how about battery consumption?

  • Dude who wouldn't want to update to ANDROID OREO? Faster bootanimation, better RAM configuration for me, lesser CPU throttling, who else wouldn't want to update?

  • .... Adaptive brightness is much responsive, better wifi connectivity, camera noise reduction improvement, in addition to your comment in my opinion.

  • okay guys I did the upgrade 1- High start up speed 2- some changes in appearance and settings 3- Battery slightly increased in consumption 4- changes in emotions That's All

  • My xperia x still overheating after the oreo update so idk, maybe I should do a factory reset

  • Battery drain faster...

  • after oreo update all issues have been fixed No more overheating problems the phone become more smoother and very attractive i suggest everyone to do the oreo update 8

  • it got a smoother UI now. camera is patched speakers are more clear and louder home button & the 2 keys next to it always on still checking the battery..!

  • nice for upgrade, no problem at all

  • what about the new software "Oreo" is there any problems with it or it's nice to upgrade ?

  • I still do not get Android 8 on me f5121: /

  • Network connectivity sure has improved

  • I just received updates oreo 8.0 is great n smooth. Thanks you sony

  • Is this phone support volte?

  • I have updated today morning. The battery drains faster.. I will try a factory reset.

  • try it then you will know, camera repair also exist, 12gb finished system, battery is also safe alive or dead

  • Should I upgrade to Oreo or not? Is there any problems in it?

  • How much the SOT in this phone?? And how much time to charge from 0-100%??

  • Very smooth now...

  • after a day oreo update until now there are no obstacles whatsoever. strangely again x getting smoth...Thanks sony

  • After upgrading Oreo my phone is automatically restart continuously till charging end. I dint know why???

  • As usual always do a Full Wipe/Reset Before and After "Major Firmware Upgrade"

  • Oreo update rolling out now

  • If any one updated it to oreo please tell us how is the battery and the performance.

  • Just received oreo

  • Where are you from?

  • Yep, i just received the update

  • Oreo has arrived finally! Yay!

  • Oreo update is on the way...!

  • Yeh . I have Huawei and Samsung and ... Its normal in calling . I thought this problem was in my country (iran) for operator's .

  • No january patch nor oreo update yet...

  • Has anyone noticed when using headphones with microphone feel a return of our own voice? someone to tell me if it's normal.

  • For me this fon is OK no hang more better than Samsung.. I'love it. I am waiting for android oreo 8.0

  • Yes it still worth buying today, but advisable to get at least flagship phones like XZ for more future updates, better performance and USB Type-C.

  • Xperia x better display and selfy camera. X compact, stellar battery life, better primary camera, better performance, slightly louder speakers.

  • They're almost same. Performance won't vary. Preference is yours. I prefer X.

  • Xperia X or X Compact?

  • Is it worth buying today ?

  • Flash it with Indian Firmware if your from India.

  • how to enable volte on xperia x

  • the week I buy my sony Xperia X, I am very happy with it, I have the update pending to 7.1.1 are many improvements?

  • It will get ANDROID OREO, but it will definitely be at the very back of the list, because Sony is rolling out for the high-end flagships first, but really ANDROID 7.1.1 on my XPERIA X already satisfied me

  • A week ago I bought it, and the battery lasts a full day with intensive use. Two days impossible if you are a user who uses the phone a lot.

  • Please tell me about it's battery backup! Is it last for a day? It's screen on time?

  • Will Android receive the oreo xperia x f5121?

  • No oreo update or the January security patch update so far ;__;

  • Get an XA1, it's worth the money..bought mine for RM1200

  • I am waiting for oreo 8.0 when it update?

  • In a writing section, just press a space button, you will automatically send empty message whomever you want to send....! It is that simple..

  • Maybe I should learn to use camera with Manual mode, I just don't know how to use it.

  • I know, i can take perfect low shots with this smartphone which i own it, but not all people can.

  • And sometimes it's too struggle on high-contrast scenes, while turning HDR on it balanced the light better but colours will go washed out. Btw it's not bad.

  • At least Asus have an impressive camera than this one.

  • Yes

  • I have this phone.. How to sent a blank SMS to other numbers.. I need this feature.. I try to much time but i couldn't. Please suggest me user

  • And future updates...... Good luck with asus shitty support.

  • for that 370$ buy an xperia x performance far better than zenfone 4 in every bit just the processor is of another league

  • i have had my phone 18 months or so and all of a sudden my battery has decided to not work

  • In bright light it is fantastic, in lowlight not too much because of presence of plenty of noise in the dark areas.

  • Hello everyone, i would like to ask how the camera performs on bright light and dark lights can you?

  • Hi All Did somebody install sailfish OS on this mobile ? As it is -officially- possible . Thanks

  • Maybe... I'll considered that.

  • ASUS's ZenFone definitely have one of the cheapest prices for smartphones in Malaysia, I have seen a lot of people with ASUS there during my visit to Malaysia in the holidays, but if u want some budget smartphone maybe consider OPPO as another alternative

  • For me sony xperia ☓ is the best fon I love xperia ☓

  • U welcome

  • Thanks all for helpful replying

  • Hai I has used xperia ☓ about 1 years 3 months the phone is great n good performance with 3gb ram plus with 64gb storage. I suggest to you buy it. I just wait for ore update thank you

  • I use S7 and for more 1 year and still works great. Oreo isnt necessary while nougat is still works great. You say it based under laggy reason. Note fe is more better than g6.

  • Yup. LG G6 and Note FE costs the same, around RM2299 (543USD, 461 EURO) while Zenfone 4 costs around RM1599 (377USD, 321 EURO). Maybe I can buy Zenfone 4 at the mid year while LG G6 or Note FE at the end of the year.

  • where you live??RM that is Malaysia currency right?you live in Malaysia

  • I really want a flagship but my budget is only below RM1200. Mostly only mid-range prices and I think Asus have the best mid-ranges among all brands. I'm sure at the mid-next year Zenfone 4 price will be cut down until below my budget since released price started on RM1599.

  • asus??so far i have experience with asus tablet and phone and it is not good. motherboard problem and performance really an issue. if it next year model, i dont know. if next year,there is a lot of interesting smartphone. better aim for flagship model since s9 and other model will come out so this ear model might have price cut. good luck. it is nice to chat with you. thanks.

  • I don't know mate. At a same time, I'm getting interested with Zenfone which I borrowed it now from my brother. Maybe I can considered Zenfone 4 ZE554KL as my next phone.

  • Get the G6, avoid Samsung smartphones even if you have service center in your home, after 1.5 years maximum Samsung smartphones becomes useless like hell, the Galaxy s6 after it got Nougat and the s7 now, Samsung is a big fail when it comes to software stability and support, i am really sad for what happened to your Xperia x, i am using this smartphone since 7 months, android Nougat out of the box and it is fantastic thanks god i chose it over the s7, down side the lowlight photography is tricky you need to play with manual mode but it is blazingly fast performing, now i am reading a lot of complaints about the s7 most of these people were praising it so badly yesterday and now they are regret, btw, you shouldn't buy from a brand doesn't have service support in your region because the defection is possible in any brand no exception. Good luck.

  • I'll save my money and planned to buy it on mid next year. I made some survey and Samsung, LG and Asus service center was nearby my place. Btw thanks for all of your replies. Love ya ;-)

  • you sure have a lot of money to buy either 2 those phone.you better pick with close support near you and good customer service.

  • Sony phones really fast on getting lower on it's price. But right now in planned to get whether Galaxy Note FE or LG G6.

  • ugly can be make up with cover. but xperia x fail in camera,performance and price cannot.

  • it sad to hear that. i bought it last month at price MYR899 or 221 usd which is very cheap. before buying,someone suggest to not uprade to 7.1 or 8.0 since Sony fuck it up for xperia x. with overheat,no sound and lag performance.. so i use feb 2017 update. but it the same with most mobile such as fail in iphone or google pixel. best way was to let other people buy it and test wile being secondary consumer.

  • I bought it since early released, about the first three months it works perfectly, but then it start making problems like it gets warmer than usual phones did when intensive usage, unstable both mobile data and WiFi etc. That's on Marshmallow, then upgraded to Nougat, the problem remains unsolved. And now it probably dead. Since I bought it on early released, so I paid MYR1899 (448USD, 381 EURO) which is overpriced considered with offered specs and it's not worth it.

  • S6 is NOTHING tp compare with xperia X. Xperia X is much better than UGLY S6

  • if i were you, i spend on S6. Z5 have a lot problem and is dead. avoid buying it. Xperia X is good but to me camera is normal and performance is less. compare to S6 camera and performance, S6 dominate xperia x. Super AMOLED with Gorilla Glass 4 is better than xperia x. only problem with S6 is not expendable memory so you need to buy 64/128 GB just to be safe since OS use around 10-15 gb.

  • if you cannot reboot to safe mode and cannot connect to companion, then i dont know other than sent to shop. you used android marshmallow or nougat? its sad what happen to you. maybe you should avoid Sony after this. spend on Samsung is better. i have seen J9 series and its good.same level price with better spec than xperia X

  • Sony xperia x > xperia z5 > Galaxy s6

  • Xperia X for future updates and slightly better performance, while S6 for slightly better camera and better display. Don't buy Z5, it suffered with overheats problem after Nougat update.

  • I had take a look on that thread and do anything what they said but to no avail, even I sent to some retail shop and they do the same thing. I can't claim for the warranty because it already more than one year. My computer can't detect my phone to connect to Sony Companion, even if I tried charge it, it getting extremely hot on the back. I've do anything and sure I'm gonna give up with it.

  • Which is better ?! Samsung S6, sony xperia X or z5

  • follow the step here it take long but who know..maybe it will help.use sony companion and repair it ok??if you have problem ask at that forum by creating new thread. you have warranty?why cannot claim it?

  • Been finding Sony center but there's no any service center nearby my place. I refered to some retail shop and they say it related with motherboard which they can't solved it. Even if I could repaired it, it would costs pretty much because you know, motherboard would costs as much as buying brand new Xiaomi phones. Being Sony fan for 4 years since I used Xperia L when it was my first phone, but now no more. Maybe switch to alternative like Asus and LG if not Samsung.

  • Well..that depends. I use a pair of Sony XB650BT when i'm at home and a pair of Sony XB70BT when i'm outside ....and in both cases the sound is great for my taste.

  • the best way is to send to Sony center since cannot check with Sony companion..

  • Hi guys I really need help, recently my Xperia X died after charging 2 days ago and then I turned it on and it reboot again and again (I charge in shut down) and I don't know what to do. Plzz really need help! thanks anyway

  • You CAN indeed shoot 4K video clips with third party camera apps such as the "open camera"

  • Does anyone know which code i have to use to get rtn menu

  • the best choice now is to claim warranty. describe to them what happen. ask nicely usually they will replace.

  • I have warranty

  • I didn't do anything, just i but it in my pocket alone after buying it and went to home i found it like that. Now what should I do

  • I really like this sony xperia x. I would only like to know the sound section. I am focused to use it to listen to music in hi res.

  • How is the sound through the headphones? I saw that you have hires certificate

  • I really like the multimedia section, especially the sound. I am very Melomano and I saw that he has a hires certificate. The camera really does not matter much to me and the size of the screen either. Only performance and sound.

  • how can it get scratch??what did you do? two ways, if you got warranty go claim it, if not, order lens replace from internet.search it on google. i recommend buy flip case or back case for this phone since it not that resistance

  • If u got a LG G5, then don't buy this smartphone. I am not trying to say that it is a bad smartphone, it is a decent mid-end flagship. But because yours is a LG G5, u are literally downgrading from a high-end to a mid-end flagship. But if u got the money to afford more smartphones, then buy it, but do take note that it suffers when taking low-light photos because of the amount of noise, so Manual Mode is recommended in low-light situations

  • Please tell me how to remove scratches from my camera lens without a toothpaste the phone is new, please answer me.

  • i mean i had an lg g3....i don t know about motorola :) but all sony phones that i had till now were great

  • i haven't used a g5 plus...but i have an xperia x after a g3 ....and it is great....at least for my type of use, i love it

  • I need to stick with tripod everywhere I go everynight. Too bad

  • nope.tried manual and still not that good to me. iso and aperture really play vital in low light which this phone is f/2.0. dont forget the noise.

  • Fortunately and unfortunately you can actually take a mind blowing lowlight photos with this smartphone by using a simple option in manual mode and definitely not with holding it in your hand for example using a tripod.

  • I am using this smartphone from 7 months, i chose it over the Samsung Galaxy s7, until now no regrets it is a really great smartphone, compared to the G5 plus it is definitely better in most aspects, the selfy camera of this smartphone is a heck of a camera, probably the battery life of the G5 plus is slightly better. It is a good upgrade but not remarkable.

  • Motorola Moto G5 Plus right???dont choose this phone. G5 already a better phone than X. you should save for flagship.

  • Overheat is when the phone get hot and stutter like crazy do to thermal throttling, a phone get warm usually is the case of heat dissipated to the exterior, in this case, the back panel. Though, mine never get uncomfortably hot unless i charge and place it under my pillow

  • No, not recommendated. Read the comments here. Keep your good G5 instead.

  • someone recommend this cell phone? I really like sony, I currently have a g5 plus motorcycle (2gb ram), is it worth the change?

  • just got this phone 4 days ago.good phone pros-excellent sound and graphic, no lag,heat is normal,screen is superb,will get Oreo update soon,price not too expensive. cons-touch seem a little bit off or maybe i still not use to it,camera is shit in low light overall a good deal for a phone

  • After around 10 minutes playing, the back panel can be used for ironing clothes. Is it should be called normal warm or overheat? Seriously, no joke.

  • I got it really it's great phone the only boring thing is that it made about 10 updates in one day

  • December security patch.

  • I played shadow fight 2, no overheat, and do you even know what overheat even mean? Mobile data is no problem with me, i got solid 4G+, i even tethered my data to my laptop for long period. About wifi, maybe it can't match the s6 since that is a flagship but about the 720p... I usually connect to public wifi in my campus and no speed issue, sometimes it fare better than iphone and samsung.

  • I played Shadow Fight 2 and it gets overheat in 10 minutes. Is it normal? I used mobile data and sometimes it blazingly fast and sometimes it dropped drastically. Is it normal? I used Wi-Fi and their rate speed can't match with my brother which he used S6 edge. My brother watched 1080p with no buffering while I'm still suffered with buffering when watching 720p. Is it normal? For Sony phones? My only hope to save my Xperia X is the Oreo update. Hope it fixed all these problems.

  • hopefully mid of this month

  • Just received a 295MB update. Don't know what it includes. Any ideas

  • Any idea about the oreo update release dates? I was kinda hoping they'd release it in December with the December security update included in the oreo update but i just got the December security patch.

  • Hey, ever since i bought the phone in December 2016 I've been getting the monthly security update within the first week continuously and i guess they'll continue to do so at least until mid 2018 and also, the oreo update seems pretty imminent as well

  • got December patch update.. but oreo not

  • Hi, got a question about the X: How long will Sony support updates and security patches and so on? Its 250€ in Sweden now - a pretty fair price IMO. THANKS!

  • Nope, heating on sony phone is similar like any other brand, sometimes i feel other brand have worst heating, the difference is, sony is a little bit tight in overheat control, it even display heating messages in camera when the phone is just started to feel warmer, whereas other brand i use sometime just let the phone continue heating and doesn't display any messages, resulting in frustrating laggy ui, and more prominent in camera where the viewfinder is just a laggy mess And sony doesn't put 5 or 10 minute limitation when recording 4K unlike some other brand

  • Sony has failed. I used Xperia L for 4 years with no major issues but am so disappointed with Xperia X everything is wrong about this phone. From overheating to poor battery life to poor os design, poor handling, error bug filled os, unable to update os, etc. After spending lots of money am regretting this phone. I lost all my saved data upto 40GB saved on the 64GB internal storage only two months of using this phone when i made an attempt to access a file on my computer. Am done with sony, am now shopping for lg phone. I was warned by the but i never listened.

  • Oreo update please.....

  • One of the best smartphones in this price range, very underrated, i chose it over the s7 and no regrets, just amazing.

  • Don't even think to buy it I bought it and now I want to sell it, to know why read my previous review in the same page

  • Sony Xperia X is equivilant to a Samsung Galaxy S5.

  • Thx for those links. Yes, overheating has been a serious issue for Sony phones for about 4 years now. Still crashing and shutting down, while other brands don't have this problem. Best solution is to buy another brand and avoidSony totally. There are plenty of better choices out there.

  • Xperia X heating issue links

  • Xperia X is just a midrange phone whereas galaxy S7 is a flagship phone. How can xperia X be better than galaxy S7?

  • I'm sure that's your computer problem. I have experienced that problem when I connected my phone to computer and suddenly data from my SD card disappeared at all. I checked using antivirus and it says something wrong with my computer which needs to be solved via internet but I don't know what's problem with my computer.

  • maybe ur computer was infected with virus

  • Your links are obviously biased, unsound links. I have done a little research including 2 offical Sony forum links. Sony Xperia X appears to be a bad choice, and I recommenend others spend their hard earned money elsewhere.

  • Making your mind through this unreliable infamous video is a big mistake, check these two videos which made me choose this smartphone over the Samsung Galaxy s7 and no regrets...

  • Was considering buying this phone until I saw this video...Really, Sony is miles behind the other brands.

  • check this it's okay no worry about heating

  • u can search heatproblem of xperia x

  • Both are so great performers in general no issues. -Xa1 plus monster battery life and a very loud speaker but placed at the bottom, bigger display, 32GB storage option. -Xperia x good battery life, better selfy camera, front facing stereo speakers average loudness, better mobility, more advanced display X reality engine/triluminos display, 32/64GB storage option. Both will receive Android Oreo, Good luck.

  • X built with high quality. If you want a big screen look for xa1 +

  • dears i am going to buy xperia X 64GB, does it has any problems ??? is it better or XA-1 Plus ? thanks in advance

  • As I am a Sony xperia x owner your post sounds pretty weird for me... By the way check this video about the camera lens.

  • But it has a Lens on the camera with a very poor quality Now I can't get my phone out of the case because of that and I have many scratches on the lens I i hate this phone so much my previous xperia zr was a beast compared to it I was swimming with it and drop it on the floor and I spent 3 years in my life with it without any regret I loved zr but sadly it had been stolen so I buy this one and my new x I bought it from only a month ago and in my way to home with in my pocket when I reached home I looked at the lens and it was scratched, so mainly this phone has many disadvantages like lens, wifi signal, heating issues with gaming and now with the latest security patche it heats with Chrome and data, camera focus in near objects it can't focus while cheap huawei phones can, battery in first days was excellent but now very bad and finally the fingerprint scanner which make me very angry right now because sometimes opens very well but sometimes it can't recognize my finger. sorry for my bad english

  • You can find a list of some of the design faults here and some help for Sony Xperia X

  • try using a file transfer app instead like SHAREit...just download it on ur pc and ur phone and ur good to go

  • I can't believe what just happened to me. Have been crying since yesterday. I connected my Xperia x to computer to access a file from SD and I search for it but couldn't find it. I had to disconnect phone from pc and reconnect to see if i could access file. To my shock and surprise i couldn't see any files in my SD again. My SD was holding data size of 46GB but in a twinkle of an eye i lost all, phone shows only 9GB all files completely disappeared! What kind of phone is this? Am completely confused, i have to sue sony for this, this is completely unacceptable. Have never experienced such since have been using phones in my life. How can I spend such a huge money to buy Xperia x to loss all of my data have been saving and working with for years? What kind of a useless phone is this? Have never experienced this kind of of Mishap all of my life.

  • Yes, I agree

  • Why? Xperia has a better quality screen, better camera, better procesor... Better desing....

  • My lens got scratches while it was in my pocket and the phone is new, now what should I do

  • Exactly, Samsung fanboys, a YouTube video, reviews, any article doesn't suit them it is made by fanboys or payed lol, however this is a very known habit for Samsung,

  • Lol you need to learn how not to misinterpret people's words and put words into people's mouths.

  • Youtube channels of sony fanboys 1.Phones battles 2.Tech trinkets 3.Xeetechcare 4.Xperia tips 5.Tech guy charlie And many more...

  • when videos are not as what i expect, i will call it "nothing". LOLs!

  • Those videos mean nothing. Made by bored Sony fanboys probably. I trust GSMarena's battery test and S7 definitely has better battery life than Xperia X.

  • Almost 7 months, my Xperia x is still brand new like when i bought it, amazing smartphone zero complaints, i still can't believe that this 2016 midrange Sony smartphone can run GTA much better than the Galaxy s7 lol And in battery performance with only 2600mah capacity against 3000mah in the s7 Can't believe i bought this thing 64GB for only 285$ :D, so pleased.

  • No doubt because even sony's top of the line XZ premium have wifi disconnecting issues.

  • Same bro, I had problems on mobile data connection, sometimes good and sometimes bad, also in WiFi, can't connect to WiFi automatically even I'm always turned on. I tried my SIM on my brother's phone which he used S6 edge and it works good at all times, that means my phone is the problem. Since I spend all my bucks on this phone, so I need to stick with this phone for 2 years more T_T

  • This phone is really worst. I purchased 6 months before from Jumbo, Dubai, UAE. From the beginning it has problems. It had dual SIM. But one SIM slot not showing full signals. Even unable to reach in that SIM also. Sometimes the SIM is automatically disabled. I want to restart every time. WiFi is very worst. Not connected automatically, when coming to office or going to home. We want to connect manually. Heating problem as well. Since it is flapped model, they offer so many accessories while selling this model alone, to clear the stock. Earlier I used iPhone and Samsung only. Both are very good and I used around even 2 or 3 years also. This is the first time switching to other brand and got bad experience. I advised others, please don't go for this model - Sony Xperia X (F5122).

  • Usually not, it feels warm when pushing it, playing high intensive games or etc,,, the only one time my smartphone overheated when i was watching Anime on a specific website, this content was incredibly intensive to my mobile and it consumed the battery incredibly fast, be aware of some sites and applications, it may cause damage for your smartphone. It also feels warm when charging only when it is below 60% since then it is charging on its maximum spead so in this case if you played games or watched high quality videos especially on YouTube it might cause overheat.

  • But I don't know that's normal or problems. Other users?

  • Browsing, playing music, casual games and watching videos just give some little heats. Intensive games could overheat the phone after 10 minutes. That's what I experienced.

  • X is have heat issues? Pl tell me ...i will bring this phone

  • this phone have some issues after the last update, overheat when browsing (wt*), double tap to wake problem, and turn on on it's own when charging in off position. please fix this sony

  • But performance sure to take a hit,

  • This phone will be a decent great phone if using the snapdragon 625, great size but with the snapdragon 650 the battery life are not that good.

  • Same

  • After this month's update why hp so quickly heats up even just for browsing news

  • me too. this device gets updates every month

  • Hello All, Any news for Oreo on Xperia X ?

  • It can be happen, Check your imei, sure it's 7th & 8th numbers are "08" , and thats not the region code of Sony phones import from Singer Sri Lanka, of "07" Singer sri lanka imports sony phones with the region code May be Dialcom offered u a singer warranty. Dilcom sells cheap and poor quality sony phones, and people get disappointed on Xperia :(

  • Got new security patch for November 2017. Realy fast

  • Micro SD card can be used as only external storage but that shouldn't be any problem as this phone has 32 GB storage for Single sim variant and 64 GB for dual sim variant.

  • Had experience but they immediately replaced with a very good phone.. No issue

  • There r good phones too . Initially most phones heating up

  • Bought Xperia x from Dialcom Sri Lanka 2 weeks ago... Heating problem when using camera Inferior quality products sold

  • Yes

  • Hi, can you use the micro sd card in this phone as internal storage or just as external storage? Thanks in advance

  • There's possibility to upgrade the OS to Sailfish, right?

  • Thank you. I am 99.99% sure that I will get this phone due to the Front Facing speakers, Remote Play for PS4, Sand : Box and the screen size

  • Just go get the smartphone if its price is noticeably lower than the xz and don't worry, and yes the game is available in this smartphone just download it from the playstore. Good luck.

  • Hi, I am interested in buying this phone in December and just want to know How it performs in the long run as IÂ’m getting it to last me at least 2 years. Also, could someone Please find out if the game sand : box by Smellymoo is available on this device. Thanks in advance ;-)

  • Nope. Some sony salesmen here can help him.

  • yup...the dual sims....is a battery hunger..

  • Some people told me that Dual SIM version is more battery hunger than Single SIM version..Is this true?

  • Please.. all of friend tell me wich model of Xperia X is better Single SIM or Dual SIM version...

  • Correction, it is actually 36000 pictures per 10 minutes.

  • No overheating issues, it feels warm sometimes when you push it.

  • This is only the second time i try using 1080p 60fps, and once again it could record for 10 minutes before it shutdown, yes it feels hot from the upside around the camera but not that worse and this is actually a very common response for such a massive image process, it means that the camera is taking 60 pictures 2 mega pixels in only one second for about 10 minutes, which means in ten minutes the smartphone took 12000 pictures 2 mega pixels and remember this is a smartphone, however some people are complaining about the limited time when using this resolution while the real common issue is the massive memory size it takes, the 10 minutes i record with my smartphone took 2.2 GB of memory knowing that the benefits of the 1080p 60fps over the 30fps is negligible while it actually takes double memory size. The 1080p 60fps is not a bargain seriously, try to dodge it.

  • I am getting 6-8 hours S.O.T YouTube and web browsing, keep in mind it varies depending on screen brightness and whether you are on wifi or mobile data.

  • Watch this video...

  • In moderate use? And is there any heating problem?thanks

  • I got around 4-5 hr SoT on Nougat.

  • Bought Xperia X last week from a famous shop Colombo 3. No sooner checked its Video recording at 1080/60 ....after 3 minutes it got terribly hot and automatically shut down camera (after displaying a messege). This is horrible. Useless Phone. Supplier promised me to replace it but not so far. I advise phone seekers not to go for this.

  • Its glass

  • What material is the camera lens made of? Is glass or plastic like the z5?

  • How is sot with nougat?

  • Sony has long way to go in terms of customer experience. ..they have limited service centers ...they want 10-12 days just to replace the faulty phone. This shows thier seriousness about the business. ..they will very soon perish from the market

  • Simply, you just have a defected unit, i am using this handset since 6 months, it is perfect to its price, contact Sony mobile community, the link is provided by Rudy Rudy.

  • pak you can go to this website Your writing here is useless

  • I would like to inform you my name is anil had submitted my xperia x last 20 days in mangalmurti enterprises thane branch due to camera issue ,actually when i shoot a video 1080p 30fps it got shutdown automatically after 2-3 minutes even i capture photo then it also shutdown due to heating issue as a last discussion mr. Kedar he told me if camera is shutdown after after 5 minutes that means its fine there is a no issue and he told me this is feature of sony mobile when it heating it will shutdown automatically ,see whatever he told me i am not satisfied with him ,my issue is that i am invest 38k on this mobile if its feature of sony mobile then i dont want to continue use your device and i want replacement of this device other wise give me another handset either cash ,i dont want to compromise because i am invest 38k not for compromise ,so i would request you to please help me on this issue ,i have already submitted for 20 days then this issue escalate to mr kedar he is service head,he told me give me one more days i have to check and inform you also he told me if camera is shutdown after 5 minutes then its not a issue its a Sony feature and when i ask him if a feature then why i give you one more day because it had been shutdown i konw then he had told me if you not give me one more day then collect your phone from service center ,i have already gave him 20+ days but there is no resolution,see i am not satisfied his answer .this is ridiculous answer given by him. i had already send you this types of mail multiple times but my issue is not resolved so kindly give me a replacement or change this device.

I am a sony user this is a first time i am facing the problem so badly. Request you to please replace my mobile as soon as possible. I am waiting for your reply. Anil

  • When are we getting Oreo on X?

  • Does anyone face issues while using dual Sim? Issue: Phone restarts when you switch data between sim 1 to sim 2 and vice versa.

  • Unfortunately, all Sony high end phones have heat issues. Its a design flaw, but its slowing improving with each model. And Sony is still recovering, and still has an ongoing exploding battery recall. This Sony exploding battery recall is from 2006 - 2017. Over 14 million batterys recalled. Latest recall is February 2017. Check link below.

  • Motorola moto-g5s plus is the best choice. Far superior to Sony Xperia X

  • Forget about the moto M, it is totally worthless device, between the Xperia x and G5 plus, the G5 plus has slightly better battery life nothing else, the display and camera are better with Xperia x, the selfy camera is way better, mobility is slightly better too.

  • Can anybody suggest me which phone is good in quality? Sony xperia-x / motorola moto-m / motorola moto-g5s plus?

  • Which phone is good in quality - sony xperia-x / motorola moto-m / motorola moto-g5s plus? Can somebody please guide me.

  • Never, i am using it from 6 months, it is amazing, blast issue happened only with 2016 Samsung flagship smartphones. This smartphone gets pretty warm sometimes when you push it.

  • I want to buy Sony xperia x any tell me about this set what is his status because someone told me this set have heat issues (this set also blast? Same like note 7)

  • Yes it does.

  • Can I ask guys, do this phone continue charging while playing games or video calling, thanks for the responds,...

  • Yes

  • Oh, thank you

  • Yup, that's normal. There is often only normal (slow) charger in the box (Sony UCH20 5V/1500mA). With this charger it takes about 2 hours 0-100%. Slower charging is healthy for battery. If you want faster charging, buy Sony UCH10 charger (Quick Charge 2.0). Any charger with Quick Charge 2.0 should work.

  • So that means we have to buy a fast charger separately

  • I bought this phone and it doesn't included with fast charging adapter in the box. I charge from 0-70% and it takes around 1h 20min. Truly slow.

  • This is THE PHONE which supports flashing Sailfish X, the most beautiful OS from Finland company Jolla. The one and the only!

  • You're wrong. Xperia X supports Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0.

  • it's bullshit, no fast charging feature

  • With almost the same price as Xiaomi Mi5 in my country, I am currently having a hard time choosing between the two. Although I am fully aware that Xiaomi's chipset is a lot better than the X's, Sony's feature rich experience might be enough reason to make me choose it instead. Aside from that, Xperia X, Xiaomi Mi A1, Mi 5 are all in the same price bracket, so it's really hard to choose. After sales services considered, Sony obviously wins it for me, but Xiaomi's SD820 and 4 axis stabilization in camera is highly tempting. I badly need your opinions. Thank you!

  • Finally got the XA1 plus today for $331. Superb phone with beefy battery life.

  • 6 months with the xperia X now, no complains... Nice screen, camera and surprisingly the performance is very very good as well... With the updates Sony really took the battery performance very seriously... And will get oreo too I think... Very nice phone for the price I paid, and the price right now...

  • Of course it is, you'll enjoy this phone once you buy it.

  • Definitely yes if its price decently cheaper than the xz.

  • same inquiry: this phone was released 2016. is this phone still worthy for today?

  • No heating issues at all, pretty warm sometimes nothing else.

  • Does this heat too much? Or Any cons buying this phone for this money group?

  • im using moto x force.. its heats up some times hardly.. what about sony x.. camera is better to me with auto HDR.. multy tasking also not bad..

  • Moto Z, since it the flagship of the time, but need to live without headphones jack

  • Exclude the moto x force. On paper the moto z is actually better than the Xperia x except the battery life, cameras, speakers, but in real life experience i am not sure, by the way i am using Sony xperia X from 6 months it is an amazing smartphone especially to the price.

  • guys.. i need help...which is better between Xperia X/Moto X force or moto Z.. please urgent

  • Has anyone faced issue with battery after the Oct update? My battery drain so fast now... It can't live a full day in one 100% charge now.

  • As ma experience, its better to format & reset phone after every update..that'll fix previous version's error

  • By looking into your comment history, the second post shows that you already has the A5(2017), btw, in general the A5 especially for a 2017 smartphone should have the uppercase, but i personally don't have faith in Samsung midrange smartphones.

  • I had the same dilemma. I bought Xperia X and I'm very satisfied. A5 2017 has very bad front camera.

  • Yeah, there's nothing wrong with the battery life, I'm a moderate user just use it for social networking sites and it easily lasts for a day. So battery life is pretty good.

  • Go for A5. More advantages compared than X

  • Why?! I am having 8 hours screen on time these two days.

  • The camera is quite decent to be honest. the battery is the biggest problem

  • Xperia X's only issue is weak camera, apart from that there's nothing wrong with the phone. It doesn't live up to the expectations of being a great camera phone.

  • please help guys ,, xperia x or a5 2017

  • Yes.. sony realy too fast..google release just 3 days ago

  • Yeah, me too :-) Sony is really fast with updates.

  • Today i have received October security patch, cheers.

  • What's the new update about? Just got a notification about some new system update.

  • Hey HahsLihas your finger might be damp or the senser is damp i've had the same problem but it fixed it just by wiping it of.

  • Hey, my fingerprint sensor doesn't work properly.

  • Nothing wrong with the camera, it takes amazing pics in daylight and low light/night shots are also decent on the X considering the price, it's superior auto mode is good enough to give you quality pics in any lighting conditions, just try it out at a store near you.

  • Please tell me..... about Xperia X camera pictures quality Day and night...?

  • Same goes with the X performance which was launched as a flagship then unfortunately got side lined by the XZ.

  • And it is very smooth until now, definitely a contender for mid-end flagship. I really hope they can have a new successor, got shocked when I heard them saying that there will not be a successor of XPERIA X

  • As of today on SOUQ, the price for Xperia X dual sim for 64GB model is 1,188 SAR whereas Xperia Z5 dual sim for 32GB model is 1,390 SAR minimum. Few major features of Z5 over X are: => Snapdragon 810 (vs SD 635) => 2160p video recording (vs 1080p recording) => 2900mAh battery (vs 2620 mAh) => IP68 certified dust/water proof over 1.5 meter and 30 minutes (No IP rating on Xperia X) Otherwise both phones are almost same & even Xperia X has double internal storage & 13 megapixel front facing camera(Xperia Z5 has 5MP). Also, Xperia Z5 is almost 2 years old now. Both phones come with fingerprint sensor, 3GB RAM & "almost" same screen size. So, if I were to select between them, I would go for Xperia X dual. Note: I haven't used the above 2 phones at all. I am just analyzing the specifications provided along with the current rates. Shukran (Thanks)

  • Xperia X is the most underrated phone from Sony.

  • Go for Xperia x, highly recommended Or if you can afford a bit more go for XZ just because of higher mah battery, don't buy Xzs, it heats a lot Buy Xperia X for first choice

  • When it comes to X series I have now almost used all of them including XZ XZs XZ Premium and Xperia X Currently I m all satisfied with XZ premium because of its battery timing and amazing display and waiting for 3D creator app with android Oreo, slow motion give this phone a unique feature. Xperia X is the next other phone I liked believe me. Its better than XZ and XZs . because of its beautiful slim design and 3 gm ram. Anti finger print body ads beauty to the phone and very smooth while using . I would suggests you to buy the dual sim version because it ads an extra 32 GB memory. I used Xperia x for almost 4 months. And believe was not that bad. I used it for almost hours and battery did last for complete one day.. This phone does not heat at all. If anyone needs a budget phone Xperia x is a best choice

  • Hey there, this smartphone is giving me full day battery usage with 7 hours of screen on time.

  • 4 months ago i was in the same situation, went for Xperia x no regrets, amazing smartphone.

  • Absolutely yes, great experience beyond its price.

  • Hi. I just bought my new xperia X. The only problem with my device is the battery only last about 9H30M for full charge. I was expecting more than that. Is there any problems with my phone. Its running andriod 7.1.1

  • For camera & battery, go for Mi A1. For better performance and regular updates, go for Xperia X

  • Don't buy Chinese crap they don't live up to the expectations. Get the much trusted brand Sony which will last for years compared to Chinese junk. I'm using the X for months and havent faced any issues, it gets faster updates compared to other brands and is value for money.

  • Go for the new X series, Z series is history now and won't be receiving any future updates. Z5 has overheating issues which are not there in the X, so it's the best choice and will also be updated to the newest version Oreo.

  • Hello guys, i'm planned to buy this phone. Since this phone was released on early 2016, is it still worthed to buy this phone at this time? Thanks.

  • Which one should i choose xperia x or xiaomi a1?

  • Please help me I'm still confusing, which phone is better Xperia x or Xperia Z5 ??? Xperia X is 950 Saudi Riyal and Xperia Z5 is 1250 Saudi Riyal.....

  • Please help me I'm still confusing, which phone is better Xperia x or Xperia Z5 ??? Xperia X is 950 Saudi Riyal and Xperia Z5 is 1250 Saudi Riyal.....

  • Save your money and buy the cheaper X rather than the XZ, the only difference is the processor which is better on the XZ along with the water/dust resistant feature. As far as the cameras are concerned both have the same no major difference, the X got better ratings on camera than the XZ though.

  • No. Timeshift Video for it only can record 120fps, u cannot change to 240fps or anything because 120fps is the only option

  • Thank you for the advice. Does Xperia xz has 240 fps slowmotion? Because I think xperia x can record 120 fps videos.

  • No heating issue, unless heated in a pan!

  • One big difference is that X uses Snapdragon 650 processor while XZ/XZs a has SD 820 processor which is much powerful. It has better camera. XZs has slo-mo video capability as well. It also has the C-type usb port. All in all, it's an upgrade to X, so it's better in every way. XZ1 has also been released, so I suggest that you should go for it instead of X and XZ/XZs. Cheers!

  • Hi, I'm thinking to buy this smartphone, but I just saw a xperia xz at 100€ more. Does the xperia xz worth the 100€ extra money? Which are the differences between xperia x and xz in terms of performance, camera and future updates? Thank you and sorry for my bad English

  • No it doesn't, just go for it as it's the best value for money and you won't be disappointed.

  • Worst camera, it's auto shutdown due to heating issue after 2,3 minutes of use..

  • hey guys, i was thinking to buy xperia x . my only concern is that does the phone overheat ? as i have read only. thankx

  • I bought a sony xperia x F5122 from amazon Japan... The phone seems to be working fine up until 7 months of use until one time after I was calling while charging, the phone just suddenly stopped charging. I thought it was a charger problem but I double check my sony charger with other phone, and it was ok. However, my phone can't be read by my computer although it has some power left. To fix the issue, I ordered a usb charging port but unfortunately still the same. *** Is the xperia x performance F8132 battery compatible with xperia x F5122? Thanks...😁😁😁­

  • Yes

  • The outer camera lens aren't made of good quality evidently, though the phone has a metal back. Weird!

  • Yes it has, but even the strongest scratch resistant glass today can be broken and scratched, so tempered glass is always recommended.

  • does xperia x has gorilla glass or scratch resistance protected display????? reply fast pls

  • Does this phone have poor bluetooth? I m experiencing some problems with my bluetooth earbuds...problems i didn t have with my previous phone...

  • I'm zameer from sri Lanka, I'm using the Sony Xperia x for last 2 weeks and still I didn't get the update of naught and still last security patch level is on 1st of March 2016. Whats the problem I'm facing. And when will I be able to get the update of naught or oreo? Thank you.

  • I use an ultra thin hard back case on my X and the camera lens is as new as it was was during the purchase.

  • Hi guys, I'm from India. Within 2 days of using the phone without a back cover, the camera lens has scratches already. Is it this delicate!? This has saddened me... 😕

  • My xperia x has a unique problem. Many times it automatically get ringing off without any silent mode or anything. In this situation media also don't give audio output even media volume is full. I need to restart phone everytime when problem occurs. Any suggestion?

  • Hi guys! I have troubled with WiFi. When I am connected to the internet, sometimes screen goes wrong, it jumps and I can\'t touch for few seconds and the opened program stops. The android is updated to 7.1.1 Could you please help ?

  • Yes

  • yes,bro.....camera is too gd bt my prbl is only battery backup....if I want to stamina mode it wrk same and don't give me a great backup....its a realy big ishue fr me......plz give me a solution

  • I got the earphones but no fast charging (in Southeast Asia) just the normal charger.

  • Well looks like you might have some battery problem you should go to the service center. I am mid-heavy gamer in phone and I don't charge phone more than twice a day when playing heavy games.

  • It depends on the region where you buy from, if you are buying this phone from Europe you are likely to get fast charger but not the earphones and if you are buying from South Asia then you will get earphone but not fast charger.

  • is this phone package contains a fast charger and earphones?

  • I also have the S7 which has slightly better camera but still the X remains my favorite as I love its design more than the S7 to be honest and get regular updates unlike Samsung, battery life is good on X and camera ain't that bad, so it remains my primary phone. Waiting for Oreo :-)

  • I believe that you have a serious issue with the battery, i would advice you to use stamina mode "always on" "second level" but no, even without stamina mode it should never be that worse so it is useless, Actually i am having everyday 7 hours of continuous usage between YouTube and web browsing, go to Settings - battery - show battery usage and see what is consuming the battery, if you couldn't seek the problem, the only thing you can do is to connect your smartphone to the computer and do a software repair through the Sony pc companion, if this didn't solve the problem then you will have to send it the service center. Regarding to the camera, indeed, my sister has a galaxy s7edge and i did a lot of comparisons, the camera of the Xperia x is absolutly fantastic no wonder it was one of the best in 2016 although it was a midrange smartphone.

  • 3-4 times a day?? Well that's not normal, my X gives me a day's juice on single charge, I'm not a gamer though.

  • my xperia x doesn't give me a gd battery life,chrg 3-4 time on a day.its too bad fr me.while I giveing update the battery down fast.....other word it has a superb camera.I have s7 edge it can easily beat it in lowlight with flash and without flash it can also beat s7 in lowlight. now give me solluetion how should I get gd bettery life....plz I need ur help

  • Manual mode us ok but it takes lot of time to process the pics, around 3-4 secs which us really annoying. Sony should do something about the cameras in their phone, I love the design of their phones but the camera is a big let down.

  • Superior Auto is really bad. The camera works pretty good in Manual Mode though.

  • Yup camera ain't that good compared to other devices at this price or lower but battery life isn't that bad, for me it lasts for over a day on moderate usage.

  • Speakers are loud enough, even while ringing or watching videos.

  • Are the speakers loud enough when the phone is ringing? In many reviews they found low volume of speakers. Is it really that bad?

  • Really disappointed with the camera and battery life.

  • Yup.. Pretty normal

  • A case is very recommended.

  • I have this trouble too. But sometimes I turning flight mode or data connection but I haven't any problem with wi_fi

  • Does it take scratch easily?? plz reply

  • Hi guys! I have troubled with WiFi. When I am connected to the internet, sometimes screen goes wrong, it jumps and I can\'t touch for few seconds and the opened program stops. The android is updated to 7.1.1 Could you please help ?

  • Hi guys! I have troubled with WiFi. When I am connected to the internet, sometimes screen goes wrong, it jumps and I can\'t touch for few seconds and the opened program stops. The android is updated to 7.1.1 Could you please help ?

  • The battery life is good, i am having 7 hours SOT between YouTube and web browsing. The system uses 15GB of storage.

  • Yes it is normal.

  • No Sony Xperia X is not waterproof

  • Does it still worth compared to the RN4 and Mi A1? In my country the RN4 4/64GB is 25USD cheaper than X (3/32Gb) , and the Mi A1 should be cost the same as X

  • wich color is the best on xperia x? how is the battery life? how many gigabit do the system take ?

  • wich color is the best on xperia x ? olso how was the mobile as for gameing and heavy use ? please help!!

  • Just a few hours ago I got my brand new Xperia X and it is still running on Nougat 7.0. How do I update my phone to the latest android version?

  • I love stereo speaker's Xperia X, but there is vibration at back cover when speaker turn on, is that normal?

  • No, it isn't but the Xperia X Performance is.

  • In general, i don't recommend Samsung especially the midrange ones, but maybe i am wrong. The sony Xperia x can record 1080p 60fps at least for 10min.

  • Not certified, but it has kind of immunity.

  • HI, just to ask if Xperia X is waterproof?? Please advise...

  • Which phone i must choose? X or A5 2017 I wanna know how long can i take a video on X @60fps? Any help

  • Battery life is not bad.. After you reinstall the firmware through pc it will not warm up that fast and battery lasts a full day even with heavy usage

  • You can't check this

  • hi, how to check if an xperia x is refurbished or not ??

  • Problem solved, my phone is under carrier software, so it will be late

  • Well this months is pretty fast for me, got it 5 days ago

  • I don't know, maybe my country is a little bit slow, June patch Build no: 34.3.A.0.194

  • My phone is made in china.. Is it made in china or not?

  • June patch?? I normally receive the latest security patch within the first week of every month.

  • Help~~ who else still on june patch

  • Just updated my X to September security patch.

  • No it's not water resistance.

  • Xperia X already showing Oreo 8.0 in 'next software version' hope to have it soon :-)

  • I can't say 5hour is the absolute minimum for SOT since even a $1000 dollar phone only last like 3-4 hour SOT and usually in mg case that mean 3/4 of that

  • Hi. Has there been any improvements/enhancements to the X's camera, battery life, memory management & performance post Nougat 7.1.1 update? And is the phone actually "splash & dust resistant"?

  • No it isn't.

  • this phone water resist ?

  • Good to see "planned upgrade to Android 8.0 (Oreo)" in the specifications and Sony is really fast when it comes to updates.

  • Yes

  • Me thinks the XZ1 is a compelling phone and I'm very curious on the improvements done. But prices will be inflated as usual coz its a Sony.

  • Oh cool, I am still waiting for the smartphone to be released instead of pre-ordering it

  • I think we can commend Sony for being faster than any other OEMs out there when it comes to updates. But I still think they need to listen to customers as there are still things we don't like. A SOT of 3 hours seem atrocious but would you say 5 hours should be the absolute minimum for SOT to say if the battery life is good enough to last the whole full day?

  • A 4.6" is too small for me. I'll be saving up for the bigger XZ1 as size is ideal. And specs seem interesting.

  • I have just brought it. It still good because 1. they will get monthly patch and oreo atleast until feb 2018 2. resonable price around 200 US Dollar 3. Quite stable because in market over a year. 4. VS XA1 & XA1 Ultra it still look good because it use SD 650 But the others use MT Helio P20 and don;t forget x uses same model as X performance so interior h/w quite good. issue 1. Treshold about heat and camera sensor quite low compare to my z5 just upadate app for 5 minute and open camera it warned about temperature but still could took a shoot but z5 will warn and force shutdown app 2. Some problem from Z5 in Z series Camera apps quite laggy Use 1-2 sec (circle loading aroud 2-5 rounds) to save pic x is better but compare to 2017 series x uses around 1-1.5 sec ( 1-2 rounds circle loading) but 2017 series they save within 1 sec ( half round) to save *save into internal storage if you are looking for a new phone with reasonable price and deciding between X or XA1. I recommend x atleast it will get update until feb 2018. XA1 get confirmed up to oreo but don't guarantee to get monthly patch because the position of this phone that sony appoint.

  • My brother lives abroad and has bought this phone for me. It'll be in my hands in a few days. I know the phone is awesome yet i'm worried about the battery life. Is there possibly going to be any changes in battery life after the Oreo update?

  • Is this good to be use for 2017 and above? The only downside i can find it is not usb type c

  • Battery life, i guess the main point, here my X can hold up to 5.30 hour SOT and barely warm, provided I'm in a good signal coverage, but moving to my campus, where network coverage is basically rubbish, my SOT drop to 3.15 hour, Other than that is waterproofing, yes there are youtuber who try to dunk the phone in water and it survive for 5min or so, but it doesn't change the fact that it didn't have ip certf. So the only situation i will trust is rain But, if the above thing doesn't concern you, just take the X, cause it's guaranteed android O update, and not mention performance is unmatched by samsung A series, not even s7 trust me(except graphic perf. that is)

  • Simple, iphone had no feature Iphone se is good but trust me, it's hard to navigate around since you have only the home button, so the navigation button is dependent on apps, the small 4" screen didn't help either, i also like small phone, but 4" is to small, not because it 4", it because every app are know design for screen 5" and above

  • I can't choose between Iphone se and sony xperia x.I like the compact size of se(4inch) but at a same moment i also like x necause of its front facing stero speaker,remote play to connect on ps.Help me out guys and pls do tell me what features does an iphone se have. P.S:Never used or touch iphone before :DDDD

  • Or, given the fact that XPERIA XZ1 COMPACT is announced, why not u wait for that? It is Water-Proof, and it is the most powerful compact smartphone 4.6" with a SNAPDRAGON 835. Isn't that great?

  • I'd like to know once & for all about Nougat 7.1.1 enhancements and in particular the camera & others: 1. Is the low-light now better? 2. Is the autofocus now a bit faster? 3. Is the image stabilisation been improved? 4. Is there a screen flash option when taking a selfie? 5. Photo colour accuracy improved? 6. is the screen colour calibration still trending towards the cold/bluish tint or has it been improved? 7. Are the speakers sound output actually became louder? (As I heard from one in Youtube) 8. Apps don't reload when using multitasking? 9. Battery life improved? 10. Is the phone really safe to use in light rain or won't get damaged if it accidentally fell in the sink for 1-2 seconds (keeping in mind some water may enter the ports). Please advice as I need a phone this weekend. Thanks.

  • Was originally gonna get the A5 2017 because of a bigger screen, slightly louder single speaker than the X (I read), USB Type-C and the waterproofing which will be a big advantage for me. But i still can't shake the fact that it's still on 7.0 (which it should have been upon its release) whilst the X is now on 7.1.1. My main worry for the X is that its not water proof and I fear using it on light rain or accidentaly dunking it in the sink for even 1 second might damage the internals. Or would it not?

  • I've used it in light drizzle for a few calls and pics, in fact I went to a night market and it was really beautiful so used my phone to capture some amazing pics. All went well without any problems with my X. Haven't tried it under water or something as its not a water resistant phone.

  • X pros and cons after using it for 6 months: Pros: 1. Display: Best display in 1080p group. Even better than 2k screens.(The best about this phone). 2. Camera: one of the best camera available in a smartphone. 3. UI: Xperia UI (Wow you will fall in love when this UI is combined with that beautiful display). No lags. No bugs. No restarts. Xperia multimedia apps are one of the best. Can be personalized to a extend and you will love it. Thought full features really useful. 4. Design and Build Quality: X is a Premium phone. Premium in looks and build. Dedicated camera button in very helpful. Different color Notification light is very useful. lil slippery. 5. Performance: No lag. No issues. 6. Audio: In headphones- Excellent. Call- Good. Loud speaker- Avg. 7. Accessories - Superb earphones(better than i phone earphones), Usb cable and a adapter. Not many provide this. 8. Quality- 10/10. 9. Sony service- Service centers available all over the world. Cons: 1. Battery: Very Good Standby Time. Ultra stamina mode is very useful. Charges faster than any other smartphone when used fast charger(excluding dash charging phones). But... the screen on time is average. It drains faster than its competition when used heavy.(with all xperia devies lately). For me battery lasts a day with normal use. Satisfied when not comapring to lenovo or MI mobiles. 2. Camera: Excellent picture quality. One of the best camera available. But... you will feel difficult capturing the exact moment. The first snap u take from ur phone is fast but then when you have to take ur next shot u have to wait for few seconds as the previous image taken being saved.

  • I know this phone is not IP certifed, however any idea if anyone having issues with spash of water or using phone in drizzling rain Please advise if anyone expirenced with water issues

  • XPERIA X of course. But warning for those getting SAMSUNG mid-end smartphones, the software support for them is mediocre, there will not be any software updates after 1-2 years. While Sony still supports theirs with frequent Security Update.

  • Samsung Galaxy A5(2017) or Sony Xperia X?

  • Thinking about Xperia X which was released second half of 2016 and now with Nougat 7.1.1. And yet the Galaxy A5 2017 was released early this year but the Nougat 7.0 update only came a few weeks ago. With these in mind I surmise that Samsung (with a supposed "optimised" software/UX but laiden with bloatware) is still slow in Android updates. Would you guys agree? And would you rather have an optimised software but an older Android version (A5 2017) or a semi-optimsed software with less bloat but with a newer Android version (Xperia X)?

  • And would you mind elaborating as to why the A5 2017 is the phone for me?

  • Wow, good to see Xperia X on the Oreo update list :-)

  • Thanks, the problem was lots of apps running in the background, gosh!!! Finally solved it now the games run butter smooth.

  • My Messaging app is always not responding, but I have the latest version of software. Has anyone have the same problem with me?

  • Has any one updated to this version?

  • Update I received is. "version 34.3.A.O.217, 311.7MB

  • Has any one received new system update?

  • From your requirements, just take the A5, X is not suitable for you

  • I'm now choosing between the Xperia X and the Galaxy A5 2017. After comparing the two with the most important issues in choosing a next phone (speaker output, display temperature/calibration, SoC/GPU, battery capacity/standby time, water resistance, bigger screen, etc.) I found the latter to be fasr superior apart from the camera (in megapixels, stabilization, shutter speed) and having a newer Nougat 7.1.1 on the X. So what can convince me to get the X than the A5?

  • For battery life go for a5 Performance, camera and anything else go with X

  • Did you check the stamina settings, you probably set it to batterylife priority

  • Candy crush games lag like hell on my Xperia X actually the play in slow motion, any solution guys??

  • hi, last update was done of my device, a freeze then restarting is being performed probably everyday. plz help me, the device was very perfect before this update.

  • From which market did u purchase bro? And what's the performance of camera including flash. I want to purchase a Sony smartphone within 25000 tk. I am a big fan of Sony from my childhood. Please express your own expression about the matter of using X. Or suggest me a perfect one within my desire prices.

  • Hi all, I'm buying a new phone and I need your help to decide the best phone: Galaxy a5 2017 or Xperia X?

  • and that is why xperia xz is a better choice than the xperia x performance. some problems in xperia x performance improved, with a much more wider availability than the xperia x performance

  • The X Performance isn't available in the UK market.

  • No no no what improvement I mean is the camera. The camera performs much better just like what they said this is an "stable" version of XPERIA X PERFORMANCE

  • What XZ problems? Oh let me guess ...overheating? battery life? poor camera?

  • Because in some reviews XPERIA XZ is like the mostc"stable" smartphone because they fix some problems from the past and improve it

  • Dunno if I were to agree with you there but care to explain further?

  • Camera is a big question mark though, I've the X and still its camera struggles against the S7 which captures more details in any lighting conditions to be honest.

  • Its a very good phone and yes camera is average not great. Overall considering the price, it's the best you can get.

  • Just two days im used xx as my second phone. My another one is galaxy n5, i never liked samsung but its all about pen. My regular phone was htc m9 and previously m8 mini. Because of premium but worst phone ever. These are never been gd phone. Problem always with touch disply, brightness, vibration motor and many thing common consider for boost sound nothing more. For my regular use i search and reviewed many more abt 5 inch xx, moto g5 plus, galaxy s7 and similar for handy grip and also midrange criteria. Here people are shouting abt hot and battery issue. Now a days hot is common and battery life is user dependable. At last i choose it because my very old xperia arc s still alive and i never face problem. I got xperia x from dhaka abt 21000 bdt (~250$) as a price of moto g5 plus but i think better reliable and preferred. After two days use I'm satisfied abt battery life, performance but camera not performing as great maybe cloudy weather (no matter for me). One more thing is it's little warm in back, camera portion getting hot and camera application closed but fingerprint scanner is hell accurate (never missed any push). Sorry for my bad en.

  • Of course

  • WOuld the XZ be an obvious best choice than the X despite the former having weaker speakers and so-so battery life?

  • XPERIA X is the best choice, since u need a smartphone quickly and equipped with that mainstream chipset that can easily handle tasks well enough and also the best in gaming in terms of the smartphone choices u have. And overall the smartphone is better than everything in the choice, but lacks the IP rating thats all

  • Nope i still got a 3-4 hrs sot with heavy gaming and usage

  • finally got my xperia x, and so far so good. it's not boring. design stunning and the phone works well. i hope it'll continue like this

  • In what sense???

  • Could agree with you on that assessment. If only the A3 2017 had Nougat 7.1.1 already, USB Type-C, digital/electronic stabilization (and not overpriced for its specs) then I would get it in a heartbeat. Sony has questionable performance/battery life as their software development team still need a bit of kicking and Moto may be "ba;anced" in most aspects but the lack of water resistance, no USB Type-C, no compass makes it a deal breaker for some. Sadly.

  • Simply go for the Xperia X, great phone in terms of camera and performance, battery life is decent not great though but it depends on the usage. I rely on Sony phones as they've served me for years in the past so overall a good investment. Rest is up to you after all it's your choice and money :-)

  • Battery life and general performance =A3 Camera abd general performance = the X Balanced(or may i say neutral) = g4 plus

  • Dude I got the whole Z and X series so telling out my experience is easy.

  • That's because you using XZ, not X I guess. I'm also using Xperia X right now but I don't happy at all, good performance & camera but the internet connection is terrible and voice call quality is too bad. I'm just waiting for Zenfone 4 released on my country to switch my Xperia X

  • i am struggling between xperia x and xiaomi note 4, any suggestion ?

  • For discussion and argument sake which phone you think would represent good value for money for their specs (& general performance, battery life + camera)...Galaxy A3 2017 (£229+ on Amazon), Xperia X (£229 on Argos, £279+ on Amazon), BQ Aquaris X5 Plus (£289 on Amazon) or Moto G4 Plus (£229 on Amazon)? I'm returning my Nokia 6 this weekend so I need a phone desperately and appreciate you advice. Cheers.

  • may be the plan but other phones nearby to it are almost 10 times faster than it. There is also video on youtube comparing its internet speed with other phones.

  • I've WiFi at home and at my work place and this thing is blazing fast, no doubt about that.

  • U sure it is slow? Or is it because the plan u signed the contract for is slow as hell? Because mine got more than the maximum speed since mine is 1gbps. Check your plan before saying that dude, maybe the problem is your plan is slow as hell

  • Internet is very slow, both on mobile data and wifi. Could not able to do anything. I hv Change to mi5 again.

  • Nope its good at all at first i want to buy the x perf later than i choose the x the dual sim model (f5122) very good phone for the price and i can invest my money for mdr nc750 + uch 12 and when use the nc 750 audio is awesome but remember to play lossless file because at mp 3 the different is litlle

  • Are you sure its overheating? Because mine just a litlle bit warm and im using uch12 quick charger and i think thats normal

  • Hi, Can you please tell what's your xperia x model? F5121 or F5122?

  • Would you be able to tell what your phone model is? F5121 or F5122?

  • Using dual Sim, over heating when charging, how to fix it?

  • Got to Settings > About Phone > Model

  • I'm using F5122.

  • Would you be able to tell whether it's F5121 or F5122 which you are using?

  • now price drop in india around 23k,,so can i purchase xperia x or some other mobile,plz help me

  • I haven't faced any such problem, in fact I deleted some pics from my album yesterday and had no problems whatsoever.

  • After recent update of software, I can not delete any photo from my Album - kindly need your guys assistance

  • Yeah, it's really a great phone no doubt about that. Everything is just wow about this phone, love it!!

  • It is awesome- powerful, fast, RAM management works great after 7.1.1 update and camera takes beautiful pictures. But remember to take shots in manual mode with 23 MP, not standard 8 MP- they're better.

  • You should go with X- more stable software, faster in daily usage and there's a radio. I'm an owner of X and i'm not disappointed. Secretly, it has waterproofing ( I dropped it in bath- nothing happened, used it in rain- nothing happened).

  • hi i'm plan to buy Sony x . please help me most of people said it has a heating problem occur in recording videos over 5 minutes time and it shutdown automatically. is it true or not. is every phone have this problem. pls help me. second thing is how about sound quality of headset. thank you....

  • And yes Great both Sony cells!!

  • X performance has a better processor than X and is water/dust resistant, everything else is same on both the phones and yes the price, X being cheaper.

  • X vs X perfomance! Which one should I go for?

  • It is normal. QUALCOMM chipsets normal temperature runs at around 30°C-40°C. When on load like playing intensive games it will only go to the limit where it will be lower than 50°C still around 46°C for my XPERIA XZ

  • Would you day the speaker loudness can also be noticed on the Z5? And was there any bugs/issues (if any) that has been fixed for the X's fingerprint sensor?

  • I have bought the phone few days ago and i can say it's not that good at all. Biggest problem is the heating while using it. 38C when using simple tasks like facebook, chrome etc and it gets up to 42C while playing lightweight games like temple run. It feels really uncomfortable. My fingers burns.....And the most ridiculous thing is that i saw youtube reviews where people says it's normal. Using facebook on 38C isn't normal, fingers are hurting. So, i wouldn't recommend this phone to anyone unless you don't care about your fingers.

  • Singapore when comes to software updates are one of the slowest, since our region is always the very last few to get the update

  • The phone is butter smooth after 7.1.1 update. There's an improvemt over the speaker sound for sure, the battery life has gone down slightly but not much for me it still lasts for a day on moderate usage. WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity have no issues whatsoever.

  • Yes, even after May security patch, I did not get any security patch update again. I'm afraid this only happened with my phone

  • hi, I've seen the Xperia X on sale now in Malaysia.. thinking of buying it. how was the phone performance and camera?

  • After the Nougat 7.1.1 update on the Xperia X have the issues on battery life (and fingerprint sensor) been fixed and resolved? And has there been issues on broken wifi, erratic bluetooth, audio problems, etc.And I also heard the speakers volume on the X has somewhat became louder. is this true?

  • I from Malaysia. I just bought this phone during Sony promotion for 3 weeks time. I got update till July, then this morning received August update (android 7.1.1 34.3A.0.217) Mayb you should try use PC to update?

  • U mean ANDROID 7.0? If that's the case then that's weird, because I lived in Singapore and my XPERIA XZ already got ANDROID 7.1.1 with July Security Update and now waiting for the latest August Security Update

  • any problem for network,wifi and bluetooth coverage problem in india,some people say it has poor network coverage.ty

  • Yeah I was also surprised as how it got chipped off, even though its like a dot but still I can't take my eyes of it :-( will try to cover it with a case.

  • Got 311 MB update today, Sony is really fast when it comes to updates.

  • My Xperia X still stuck at android 7.0.1. Has anyone in Singapore faced the same issue?

  • Just received Aug security update. Sony support is great.

  • It is a using a polycarbonate frame, that's why it chipped off very easily

  • My xperia X slipped out of my jeans pocket and fell flat on the floor facing the screen, luckily nothing happened to the screen but the metal frame got chipped off at the bottom it's just a dot though :-(

  • Finally i bought my xperia X, and i hope it won't have any problems... i'm still waiting for the phone to arrive... so excited. I will share later about my experience using this phone as a daily driver

  • any one sure about get Android O?

  • my xperia x model 5122 it is best , camera video and pic is sharp comfortable in hands good for professional business use

  • And it is a smartphone that gives u price for performance, at this price the performance u are getting should be satisfied since it is using a SNAPDRAGON 650. But saying of that chipset, I feel kind of old for it whenever I heard of it, since now some moved to SNAPDRAGON 652, 653, 660

  • exactly as you say super phone

  • Some people having a heating issue with this device but I didn't feel any heating issue at all while using this device. I think it's an environment cause with some people. Camera heating issue is different in case you use low rating sd card and camera creating start problem sooner with the heat (up to 5 minutes recording). I will recommend Xperia X owner to use internal memory for recording( this reduces that issue up to 16 minutes recording). Well, I think this device currently in India at Rs. 22k on Flipkart so I will recommend buying this device if you are a fan of Sony brand ( UI smoothness, Display, music and camera top notch).

  • Great value for money at the price its selling now compared to other brands, solid build quality, great camera and screen resolution, good battery life and the latest software version nougat 7.1.1, what more you can ask for??

  • Don't buy this phone.. I have had Xperia x. I capture photos video recording 30 fps 60 fps the camera shutdown in 2 minutes outdoor and 5 minutes indoor. Even open camera don't shoot anything that is shutdown in 2 to 5 minutes

  • Double tap some time disturbing Glove mode not working Any one having this problem How to solve ? Please reply

  • Glass

  • Heating occurs while video recording at 60 fps and camera closed Double tap sometimes disturbed Glove mode doesn't work

  • this phone is awesome!

  • what type of lens this phone use ? plastic or glass

  • the lens is plastic or glass ??

  • has any one faced hardware issues? it seems,all the mentioned issues are with softwares

  • what is the best out of single and dual versions? when does this phone get overheat ( when it's recorded at 60p or 30p) is there any solution for the overheating? is overheating the only issue? is any one who has been using this for one year facing these issues till now? Can any one please reply ? I'm planning to by this phone..or any suggestions ?

  • what is the best out of dual and single sim versions? and is there any way out for overheating issues?

  • I've used many Sony phones in the past and will continue to do so as they all have been loyal to me for years without troubling the service centers. Currently using the Xperia X and it's real value for money like my previous devices like Z2, Z3 and Z5.

  • Had for 1 year now third time to send for repair 1st screen and sim slot problems 2nd time screen again and now overheating and cameras not working Last sony phone i will ever buy

  • NO

  • No unfortunately.

  • Agreed, camera could have been better else this phone is a powerhouse. 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.

  • Is the camera shutdown problem due to overheating solved after nougat update?? Plz answer me. Any Xperia X user.

  • 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?

  • In my case it did overheat only when I used the camera app after a software /firmware update or factory data reset but that's understandable as at that point the phone gets really hot but apart from that I still haven't faced any overheating or camera shut down issues.

  • But it is pretty normal for all smartphones, just that only Sony have the fake overheating message which detects overheating and shut down at a rate where it is not that hot at all. 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

  • Nice call

  • Hi guys, i bought this phone before 3 months back from flipkart at the amount of $350, and today again i checked in flipkart the price is changed to $590..

  • I love to take pics with my xperia X whenever I go out to a new place, I take dozens of pics but not at a stretch. 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.

  • No I think they fixed the problem. 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.

  • The Downloads app is the built in file manager. Otherwise, there are lots of file managers in Playstore

  • Are you sure it's same update over and over ? I purchased this phone last week and i was directly under 7.0 and i received like 4 or 5 updates to flash one after another before seeing finally 7.1.1

  • I captures photos only just 2/3 minutes and camera shows error temperature rise and shutdown.

  • 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...

  • Cameras is very bad ,,please Sony company correctly your firmware because record video 1080/60fps only 10 minutes..damn 😨😨

  • thank you so much

  • xperia x

  • Upgrade to z5 is only a small upgrade from z3+,so xperia x is better choice,only cons is not ip rating,not sd8++ chipset, if you want a better xperia go for xperia XZ series,its much better

  • 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.

  • So what i do now after update never did the factory reset.. Please help me.. I m in saudi arabia temperature 40.c. Camera shut down in 2 minutes photoshoot only

  • Hello every one......just needed help from u guyz .... I am gonna Buy A sony xperia Soon...i am using Z3+ Just wanna move to Z5 or Xperia X ....... lil bit confused..... Which one should i pick ? tia

  • I tried the manual mode today at a night market and it does wonders really. The pics turned out so sharp and bright even without using flash (I hardly use flash) I was really amazed with its camera capabilities the best you can get at this price, simply awesome.

  • No it isn't, the X performance is.

  • is it water-proof?

  • Yes its volte model

  • YES 100%. At that price it is considered very good for this kind of smartphone. The performance is solid, but do take note that some extreme games will have a slight lag because this is using a SNAPDRAGON 650. Camera is definitely a good deal since u got it at this kind of price. SnapChat won't lag or anything, it is based on how much RAM u used, unless the RAM is left with 200MB free but that couldn't be the case, since mine got a lot of apps but there is still 900+MB free. So get the phone, unless there is other cheaper Sony smartphones?

  • The phone is over a year now, so that much updates is expected

  • Camera on the X is pretty good, takes sharp pics with natural colors which aren't over saturated. Outdoor pics are amazing and indoors/lowlight pics are also good. I compared the camera with the S7 (which people say has best camera) and there's nothing much to choose between them. It scored 88 on dxomark which is quite impressive. I'm really impressed with this phone, there're no lags whatsoever on this beauty. Design is solid, easy to hold in your hands. Rest is up to you after all it's your choice and money :-)

  • Yeah the battery life has gone down after the 7.1.1 update but it's not worse either, it still gives me around 19+ hours of juice on moderate usage. Standby time is still great mine goes down from 2% from night to morning. But yes the battery life before this update was solid.

  • So long time Xperia X users. Mind telling me how is the camera performance? Is it satisfactory upto your needs? How is the performance? Does it shutters or lag while switching apps? Especially Snapchat. Is it worth $245?

  • Guys anybody noticed worst battery life after the 7.1.1 update??

  • Superb phone with great camera, Xperia X rocks!!

  • A magic box with suitable fingerprint sensor area

  • Yes

  • Xperia x is volte phone or not . Answer me please

  • plz share with us is it support VOLTE???

  • please tell me guys is xperia x has 4g volte or not. ..please

  • Thanks for the help buddy, you were right it was the screen protector which was causing trouble as it was placed on the proximity sensor. I've changed it and now it's working fine. Thanks again :-)

  • Hey bro, it seems that something is covering the proximity sensor of your phone. If you have applied screen protector or a glass, plz see to it that proximity sensor is free from any coverings.

  • yeah but my issues came from the z3c. it seems even the z3 had issues.

  • they dont in the US.

  • I'm facing an issue with my xperia X since today afternoon, whenever I make a call the screen goes black and doesn't lit up no matter what keys I press. Anyone facing such issue, any help would be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

  • HI guys, I just bought this phone yesterday and from I bought it updated the system software for 5 times till now it is updating now, is that normally??

  • Mainly because after the XPERIA Z3+ era they started calling them that just because QUALCOMM supplied them the overheating chipset so now they still think Sony suck

  • Xperia x has volte support

  • honestly that was really embarassing for sony people were starting to wonder why i was a sony fan. not even chinese phones had that problem what was sony thinking allowing phones like that.

  • true xd

  • That is for older XPERIA phones, current ones they already fixed it. Because the previous ones once the glue thing comes out the Sony logo also comes out. But they fixed it now so good :)

  • even in auto mode in good light the camera is unmatched. However, for low light you can get really good pictures using manual mode. thats one thing people arent willing to learn.

  • updates are good but my last sony phone had terrible issue of where the glue for the front panel came off. I thought maybe this was really rare and got a defective model so I'm giving sony another chance. But my z3c was not the best quality after a while.

  • Maybe try to buy other brands to have a real mind. I have a Samsung S5 and Motorola Moto X both from 2013 (=4 years ago). Just bought a Xperia X, i hope to be able to very say same thing in 2021 if i haven't sold/broken it before.

  • If you use the camera right after charging or factory reset/software update then yes it'll shut down after a while to cool down this helps the phone from getting overheated which might be dangerous. I also love taking pics from my xperia X and haven't faced any problems whatsoever in normal usage, in fact I took around 20-25 pics at a night market yesterday.

  • Very happy with this phone no lag at all, latest update is good too, camera in goodlight details is unmatchable in lowlight still can capture decent and usable pics, audio at its best when loaded up with lossless format and using the proper earphone (i use mdr nc750)

  • I bought this phone recently. I have facing a problem.. When i use camera at outdoor. Camera shut down in 5 minutes only.. I capture photos only.. Please users suggest me how to solve this problem.

  • They won't. I trusted them because I have previous Sony phones that got very good updates. For a company that wants to get their fame back they have to give a good impression to users

  • speed is one thing but also doing quality update with no issues is another. i hope they dont sacrifice one for the other.

  • This is what Sony does to you, can't even think of any other brand that is as durable as Sony is.

  • I think that is why I chose Sony 4 years ago when I bought a XPERIA phone

  • I've used a lot of Sony phones in the past for years and this one is another long term investment :-)

  • Even the Xperia X has radio.

  • Motorola and Nokia always have best radios.

  • They are doing this so more and more people will buy Sony phones because of frequent updates and will boost their sales slowly

  • I agree with good quality, after 3.5years my xperia z battery still flat, galaxy note & grand only flat for under 3 years.

  • I have a problem with my xperia x after nougat update the lte speed drop vastly, first i thougt it was my carrier than i try my simcard to my z3c it works normally and fast, any suggestion how can i fix this, i've tried factory reset, xperia repair companion but nothing seems working

  • yeah they are good with giving out updates that are mostly bug free with no issues. Which is surprising.

  • that is true as far as I can tell Sony is good with doing software updates with mostly no bugs or hicups. I give them that but just my experience from previous companies dont make the jump from one number to the next number so quickly needs to some time to iron the bugs.

  • honestly my X is really fast and great signal. People fail to realize the X is a premium midrange which is one rank up higher in the midrange. Literally nothing can beat this phone in this price range.

  • Sony limit signal to conserve battery. price is fair, when you buy xiaomi or oppo with this price, quality is not even close. The best signal is motorola

  • Yeah exactly, Sony is always fast when it comes to updates, all the hiccups (if any) are fixed with their regular updates. That's why I love Sony sheer class!!

  • Nah most of the time their bugs in the software would be fixed by that time already. They are consistent with software updates and also good at fixing some bugs from previous versions

  • first thing I did was update immediately to 7.1 lots of improvements it seems. dont think im updating away from this they might introduce new bugs im skeptical of software updates.

  • Yes there is :)

  • Yup, so far its pretty good, charging speed has also gone up after the last update.

  • battery life is pretty good so far and it should be good in the long run too.

  • Yes this phone has qnovo battery technology, go through the link below with list of Sony phones having qnovo technology :

  • definitely is. I managed to get it for 250 dollars too and for this price there is no better phone in the world. also does anyone know if this phone has qnovo battery technology?

  • Xperia X is one of the most underrated phone in the X series, it's a wonderful phone with solid build quality, loud enough speaker, 64 GB of internal storage, superb screen quality, good battery life and camera and now with the price gone so down, what else can you ask for in a smartphone??

  • Emm I guess its the ANDROID that is draining your battery not the LTE

  • Just downloaded "always on display" on my X, works like a charm :-)

  • The problem in my xperia x network very low no connection in Lte im vzey decipoint for sony beceause i lose may many

  • Then buy xperia xz premium you'll never suffer overheat and its the fastest android now

  • My previous phone had broken down. Buy this phone just only around $250. This phone perform very well. The fingerprint is very fast. The camery also nice. No lag at all. The battery can run around half of the day. I play games in this phone smoothly without any lag. This phone run very smooth. I'm so happy with this phone now.

  • Is this phone can suit with 256GB micro sd???

  • hi I've updated my X to 7.1.1 .I noticed that handsfree quality and loudness is lower than android 7.0 dose anybody have this problem? AND another qusetion: when I updated to 7.1.1 my LTE+ activated, and I feel it drain more battery than LTE , is that true??

  • I guess because u downloaded too much stuff thats why it lagged. Lol. Get rekt by yourself

  • What was that???

  • Just received a 92.8 MB update today.

  • this first and last time to buy sony mob .. over heat with vedio call and vedio recording ,, small battery,, software lagging and problems .. down price very fast Thanks sony .. soon as soon I will replace

  • The back is metal the frame is plastic

  • No, the back is plastic and the Screen glass. However in comparison to the Z2's glass rear. I find this attribute makes the phone more durable

  • Hello people, I've updated my Xperia X dual sim version to Android v7.1.1 a few days ago. No issues at all and the main improvement that I noticed is concerning the audio side: the volume for incoming calls alert is definitely louder. So it seems that Sony fixed one of the most annoying issues that appeared once with Android 6.0, if not earlier. Better later than never!

  • How's the camera of this phone ? I see a lot saying that it is hard to get a good photo with this device and Is it better to buy thus phone or huawei p9 taking into consideration that I need the phone for 2 years

  • I'm having Wi-Fi connectivity issue with this phone while my other devices are working fine with the same wi-fi. Has anyone else faced the problem?

  • Yes this phone has great battery life and the performance is top notch, also it is running on the latest 7.1.1 version.

  • I use Xperia X for 5 months and this phone is so great. I have no heating problem. Camera is superb. No lag at all.

  • Is the body build from full metal?

  • horrible quality phone compared to a nexus 4 i called sony for Xs usb faulty i did not understand the their line was so cheap

  • Is there any slowness and lag while using the xperia x's keyboard.

  • Can somebody tell me for which market is produced sony x f5122 and for which market with this phone in package are headphones. I bought this phone in Serbia via an online store that did not issue me a fiscal account, with the phone I got the Voltase charger plugin Over 250v (in Serbia it is 220v). Please help me.

  • No

  • I suggest lenovo p2 or zenfone3 max for battery life

  • I want smartphone with good battery life. So, is this recommended for me?

  • So far good, sot is between 4 to 5 hour, depend on use, can last a day, display is great, build quality is great, camera is superb in daylight, for lowlight it got the job done(play with the manual and the result is great) , video also great, can record 4K by third party app(i use open camera), speaker is loud, snappy performance, doesn't overheat it just warm, can use dualshock 4 to play android game Cons Post processing in camera app is a bit slow, Strict overheat control(warn of overheating eventhough the phone is just normal warm) No water proof(unofficial splash proof though) A little hard to find good case(some case will disturb the fingerprint scanner usability) Screen protector a little bit hard to find(a common problem for 2.5D glass) So far sill good

  • Does it support 4G calling on jio without jio app

  • How much sot u r getting? I m getting 3-4 hrs. Battery hardly lasting for a day with normal use. Is that usual?

  • Yep it is good. Software updates is definitely a plus in Sony smartphones

  • Just wanted to know about the latest mfd date of this phone in India. I've got a device with Jan 2017. Is this the latest one? I have read some ppl is saying they have got the device with may 2017 mfd date. Is that true? Any1 pls tell me asap coz I m feeling that my device is giving less battery life (3-4 hrs sot) just lasting a day with normal use.

  • Google camera app also support 4k video from both front and back camera... Love this.Xperia X

  • i want to buy sony xperia x please someone tell me is this phone is good for use xperia x users?

  • I believe it will, but later than the flagship

  • this phone wont getting update to Android 8.0 O?

  • I feels pretty warm in rear situations.

  • Yes it is available...

  • Actually, the phone just got warm but sony overheat control is strict af, it tend to limit thing even though the phone just getting warm

  • Still not arrive

  • Xperia X is a great phone considering the price at which it's selling right now. Updated it to 7.1.1 so far so good, battery life is great and camera is capable of taking some seriously good shots, speakers are also decent and build quality is superb. All in all a great experience so far, thanks Sony.

  • Sorry i mean maybe not i am not sure.

  • Yes it is available.

  • Ow i am happy to see this.. my xperia X can record 4K via Open camera apps Just download it from play store

  • Overheating occurs when you record video 1080p full HD at 60fps for 5 minutes or above. After that it shutdowns suddenly for cooling but video will saved automatically after shutdown.

  • auto focus available on front cam?

  • Lime Gold or Black. Both for me it's good colour but Rose Gold isn't too attractive

  • Is sony xperia x have overheating problem?

  • Hi, I just received a phone from flipkart, from first day only i m facing issues with photos taken at night using flash. Image contains the green shade and whole image looks greenish. Did factory reset/ software repair but no luck. Anybody faced same issue? Flipkart is arranging replacement now. Thanks

  • My friends saying that lime gold looks good..

  • I am using Xperia X for over three months now and I'm not having any problem. How can you say that its slippery, I have not slipped phone til now.

  • I am using Rose Gold and it's a decent color.

  • Which color looks good..like gold ,rose gold,black..my choice rose gold..but I m little confused..so better suggests good color..

  • Git this one for $250 Why not add to my collection

  • you people have gone thru so many reviews like me. I got a nice black phone thru flipcart. no doubt it really a fast, nice looking, great camera n lots of pros u had read from others. But what i am going tell is what no one had written abt it here n why i had given it a 2 star. The phone is very very slipery its slips out very frequent n it happened with me too within a few months of use...to my bad luck finally on one such occasion the touch screen got cracked from multiple places... after reaching Sony Authorised service (cuttack) i was told that the xperia X model cannot be repaired it need to be replaced by a new one for which i have to pay some 13-14 thousand just for screen..i briught it for some 25 thousand so i am going to take back the handset without replacement n use it as rest of my mobile is perfectly ok. so its upto u buyers to decide.. if also u r buying this product do use all protection like good case n screen protector..etc.. hope u all don't get it sliped away anyway

  • good for 190$ , and micro USB

  • i lost my charger what is the model of xperia x charger

  • what is the model of chager of xperia x?

  • ty

  • Yes, it supports OTG.

  • Is this phone has a OTG any answer please

  • How about camera x vs xa1?

  • thanx bro

  • Thank you ☺

  • Salman i couldn't find any video call option in the contact and phone apps.

  • Almost the same, they added assist options in the settings, update it anyway.

  • How Xperia X is working after Naught (7.1.1) update? Is there any improvement?

  • plzzzzz reply anyone brother

  • i mean the video call through the cellular network ....without internet connection

  • What do you exactly mean by video call, i do everyday whatsapp and Skype video calls on my Xperia x like any other smartphone.

  • does xperia x has video calling feature ........any one reply me plzzzzzzzzzzzz

  • No it's officially not but it can handle water for about two minutes like other non water resistant Sony phones. If you need water resistant phone then Sony Xperia X Performance or Z series is there for you.

  • Overall: Xperia X In terms of camera maybe XA Ultra. But I would suggest Xperia X for its overall performance.

  • plzzzzz reply me does it have video calling option like samsungs phones .......plzzz plzzzzz plzzzzzzzz reply me fast

  • plzzzz reply me fast coz i m ordered it and if it does not have video calling feature than i will cancel my order....

  • does xperia x support video calling option from carrier network

  • sony xperia xa ultra or xperia x ?? about camera and battery ???

  • Nope

  • This question has been answered at least 100 times. 'No' the Xperia X isn't water resistant, the X performance is!!!

  • thanx for reply...well i dnt have third party application...

  • Does anyone have problems with wifi not working bacause i read it online all the time. I'm an online gamer so I need to know the ping and stability.

  • Is this reAlly water resistant?? Pls tell me guys can I go for it or not

  • Android 7.1.1

  • Awesome experience while using it

  • Thanks

  • Alright got it, the latest update is 7.1.1, wow thanks Sony!!

  • Received a 458 MB system update just now, wonder what's that about?

  • It is excellent in daylight. But when comes to night shots this is why they say its bad. The Superior Auto Mode cranks the ISO (The sensitivity level for lighting) to very high levels which cause a lot of noise thats why they say its bad. But, if u can try and use Manual Mode and tweak the ISO, shutter speed, u can definitely take excellent photos during night shots. If u don't know how to use Manual Mode u can try out every function to suit your photos :)

  • For me it is excellent.

  • Absolutely yes, I have this beast from two months and it is absolutly amazing, go for it.

  • u r welcome

  • thank you

  • I just bought one today after my Xperia Z1 Compact screen broke for the second time. It's beautiful with all the latest features running smoothly, I definitely recommend it

  • Go for Xperia X. More powerful performance, good camera quality, full HD display

  • Xperia X or oppo F1s?

  • please help me I am thinking to buy this phone. do you recommend me ?

  • Same issue... Camera starts giving the same warning even in 2-3 minutes of use

  • I had the ZenFone 3 and after 5 months its start to have many problems and so I gave it to my sister and thinking to buy myself this one. Asus also have a common problem of touchscreen issue battery is good for 4 months after that start draining heavily. I forget to keep backup so loss many important thing when I had the Asus and I'm using my z2 which I have kept in cupboard now. Ps. I don't know about xperia x though since I'm trying to find out myself

  • Could anyone tell me about the camera quality on this phone? Cuz i hear the quality isn't good and not like 23MP camera

  • Bro it is due to any third party app. Here you will have to check by un installing the app one by one.

  • Go for xperia x because sony will not slowdown even if u update the OS not like other company where specs are more importan than software.

  • Phone is not like 24000, i waste my money brought this phone. Not feel camera, display and other functions best. , I fed up for restart mobile when network change.

  • Xperia x, z5 overheats rapidly, Xperia x in rear situations.

  • xperia x or z5 for gaming?

  • Have Sony implemented the adoptable storage option in Marshmallow? I'm interested in the Xperia X but will need the extra storage.

  • I dnt knw why bt camera is not like 23MP. Compared this camera wth cameras on samsung c7 pro & i phone 6s plus. This camera falls far behind standards of samsung and i phone. Rest all good

  • 23MP but no 4K

  • You need to re flash with Xperia Companion (Removes all data from phone) If it doesn't work visit service center

  • Plz help, which one is more better? Zenfone 3 (ZE520KL) or Xperia X?

  • I guess there will be because they did Android 7.1.1 Beta Program for it and it runs well plus Android 8.0 isn't a "big" update after all

  • Recently brought Xperia x. I have doubt regarding sound. While talking on phone, I feel quite a vibrations on the rear cover. An dit increases much when playing music with both speakers working. Is it normal for this model? Kindly share your experience. Another thing the sound quality on shipped headphone was also not very outstanding as I was expecting a big change from my previous moto phone.

  • I have a strange problem....during calling incoming voice suddenly not able ho hear when call duration abt more then 5 min..to fix this i have to restart..using for two months.does anyone face the same problem?? Need suggestion

  • It depends on Qualcomm whether Snapdragon 650 can handle Android O. If it can handle Android 8 then I can't see any reason Sony will not update Android 7 to Android 8. I will definitely love to have Android 8 on my device in the future.

  • Same question here any advice?

  • No that's not true the chipset of this handset doesn't allow you to record 4K videos It's not based on software

  • Try fix it with Pc Companion for Windows, download from Sony xperia's official sites.

  • Xperia X or X compact..... need help

  • Can Sony Xperia X get Android 8?

  • I heard it can shoot 4k video with 3rd party apps...Is it true? (use open camera app)

  • If it still under warranty, just send it for repair, otherwise, may need better detail on that

  • My xperia has stopped working ,obviously it needs flashing and that as well is proving hard to accomplish .Can any one assist?

  • hello i am too using xperia x in India problems faced 1. Medium Heating while taking videos 2. i heared two sims at a time with memory card cannot be used since it is a hybrid phone it, but two sim alone can be used or one sim and memory card 3. big head ache is calling options. after 20 times of choosing SIM 1 call then it automatically assigns SIM 1 from 21 st call ...no option for calling from sim 2. i dont know whats wrong ... 4. ringing volume is too low even the volume is full.

  • May xperia x get android 8?

  • You are welcome, be careful, it might be a defected unit.

  • Well, I am also Xperia X user for almost two months but I have only record videos in 30fps for about 5-6 minutes. Thanks for letting me know that. Maybe I can record unlimited of videos at 30fps in the future. Thanks again.

  • Buddy 60 fps = 10min then shut down 30fps = forever without any heating issues. Xperia x user from two months.

  • I mean you can record more length of videos at 30fps than 60 fps. I think you might get to record until heating problem arises, most probably more than 5 mins.

  • You mean 1080p 60fps, yes it will record for 10 minutes then it shutdown the camera, while at 1080p 30fps it will record until the memory run out without any heating issues.

  • I have been using x dual for two months. I am facing a strange problem that my phone stops ringing on an incoming call. But only vibration. But the phone is not in silent mode. Each time i need to restart the phone to fix the problem. But it is only for 6 or 7 hours.any body to help me???

  • There is no waterproofing on this phone

  • Yes!

  • Is there finger print sensor available

  • Well if you click videos at 1080p for more than 5 minutes then it begins to warm and close itself. So I would recommend you to shoot video for less interval.

  • what about water proof

  • Anyone else facing a screen burn-in problem? It's just around the edges of the screen. It is not permanent but when there are high contrast images they stay there for a while. E.g the notification bar along the top of the screen.

  • I own this phone for 2 months . It's such a nice phone. Though it has 3GB RAM only it performs butter smooth. It's handy and slippery too. The battery comes for a day. Camera is mediocre. On the whole it's a great phone :).

  • I have the same problem & I don't know what to do

  • Whether it can playback 4k video? Urgent please

  • Mine is working extremely smooth and no overheating at all, i play multiple online games, i use the camera a lot, no heating issues, it feels prety warm while charging below 60%, it does a fake overheat report after stop recording a video with FHD 60fps...

  • Yes it can record upto 4k but you need 3rd party apps

  • Nope.

  • Hey guys! I bought this phone last week and found the phone real smooth. Every thing is gud except heat. The phone heats a lot (heat not warm). Camera always gives me a warning that mobile is heating n some functionalities have been disabled while taking pictures. Using mobile Internet will also heat up the phone. Since some users here and other forums experience no heat I guess I got a faulty piece. I filed for return. So let's see if the online guys accepts it or not. Will keep you posted. Ps: I live in India and the temperature here is around 43 degrees Celsius. So if any Indian X owner would confirm they are experiencing heat or not would be really helpful.

  • Can use 2 sim + sd card?

  • Yes it does. A hybrid slot.

  • This phone is not waterproof

  • No. Phones are only waterproof, not water resistant

  • Both dual and single sim models have sd card slot

  • Which colour of xperia x is superb to buy? Whether it can play 4k video as it can't record 4k video? Fast please

  • Xperia x dual sim have a sd card slot?

  • When using Sony never use a screen protector because it harms the proximity sensor. Try to remove the screen protector and see is it works.

  • Mine doesn't overheat...

  • Absolutely not.

  • 7 hours screen on time with average usage on WiFi, 5 hours on mobile data.

  • Yes there is and even multiple manual auto focus options.

  • How is it not overheat.. My mobile get highly overheating issues. What will i do for not get heat

  • I bought this device... Please tell me users wich audio mode is best for watching movies. How to set camera manual for low light photo

  • Is this water resistance?

  • How's the camera in this phone? I heard that there's no manual focus (tap to focus) in video mode? Is it true? and how's the image quality?

  • Hello friends what about battery?

  • Go for it I am using it and its wow

  • Thanks for the help mate 😀

  • Thank you bro. Much appreciated. Cud u please tell me if clicking random full HD pics may warm backside near camera? I found this on Xperia xz.

  • 7 hours and 15 minutes my SOT today, hooray!!!

  • Sony Xperia X is value for money dude, just go for it and you won't regret.

  • I'm very glad to have bought this phone. imagine a chipset (SD650) that is almost as powerful as SD810 but a more power efficient and not overheating. but still be careful of sharp object as it can be scratch so easily on its corner and at the back. after buying, better get a transparent jelly case and screen protector.

  • Feels like the loudspeaker volume has increased after the May security patch update

  • All the apps and games run smoothly.

  • I have been using this phone for about a month now so I'm trying to clear your issues. 1. Keyboard is quite different from earlier Sony phones but this doesn't mean that chatting and typing is difficult, although you can face some problems in the first two-three days. It will get better in the future and you will get used to it. 2. Well, I have used camera many times and I haven't faced any overheating issue (shutting of camera app), but if you use AR effect a lot then you may face the shutdown issue of camera app. 3. If you charge with your original charger then there is no warming issue. I'm currently using Samsung fast charger since there was no fast charger and sometimes I face warm issue of the Samsung charger. 4. I haven't used any cover and I don't think you might need the cover since phone is easy to hold and use without any slippery issue. 5. No, you won't face any overheat issue, heating may occur at some instance though it's not a issue to fear.

  • Please tell me which is the best mobile set I want to buy it emidietley SONY XPERIA X or VIVO V5 PLUS

  • Thanks for the reply

  • Hi all , which phn should I take in between Asus zenfone 3 ze520kl, xperia X, and moto z play, mainly I need camera quality or battery

  • Please someone reply me, how the performance xperia x when play game modern combat 5 in multiplayer match, (i mean multiplayer match) smooth or lag, thanks

  • Hello, I've been using this phone for no more than a week and my chatting has improved a lot. My last phone was the Moto X 2014 and I can say, for sure, that Xperia X is a great improvement from Moto X 2014. The overall performance is great also. A good phone for it's price now that the new lineup have been launched.

  • Finally I decided to buy this. Please could someone help me with the following: As per tech radar review this phone has terrible keyboard recognition. Chatting is hard.. cud someone confirm this? I tried and returned Xperia xz as even clicking full HD or max resolution pics for couple of minutes would warm the phone up(near camera area). Will someone confirm if there's same issue with this as well Will charging warm the phone up? Will dark black back cover make phone ugly? Are the photos grainy in dark places? I live India and the temperature here is around 46deg n really don't want the phone as well to be a heat source. Thank u very much in advance

  • Its maybe the proximity sensor prob. Maybe it covered or dirty, try to clean the area around the proximity sensor

  • Hi friends ,Facing one problem,display goes off as soon as I call any one of you facing this kind of problem,anyone know the solution for this...

  • Thanks for replying my friend

  • Sometimes it gets hot but not so warm and hot. You can hold like usual at the time of heating problem. Btw, I have not faced any sort of heat problems til now.

  • No, it doesn't have any bloatware like note 3.

  • Does it get too hot or just warm to hold ?

  • Iam thinking to buy this phone and currently i have galaxy note 3, does xperia x has bloatware like my note 3 ?

  • Go with X mates. The Z5 is not good for me.I' ve tried it. Go with X.

  • If you can afford Iphone then it might be the best choice for you. In terms of performance and all: Iphone 6S, X, G5

  • I have heard that it gets heated while taking videos at 1080p@60fps, but this hasn't happened to me though I have taken some videos at 1080p@60fps. There is a very few chance that this will happen to you. Anyway, I would recommend this phone.

  • If you play online games for more than 45 minutes then it will start to get heat but that doesn't affect the games and heat problem is not so serious though as like in Snapdragon 810 (like Z5, z5 premium etc).

  • Hi there. I'm currently stuck in choosing between the Xperia X, the iPhone 6S & the Moto G5 Plus. In terms of camera quality, no processor overheating + a balanced performance and battery life which one would you choose guys? Which one also has a louder speaker than the other?

  • Does it still has overheating issue while taking video ?

  • Does it get warm or hot while playing games ?

  • Go for z5, although it heats it outperforms Xperia x and x compact.

  • This phone doesn't heat and overall performance is on range to S7 edge and S7. Camera is above average and better than others at this price range. No lags while surfing, playing games and doing other activities. I would recommend this phone, you should go with dual version with 64gb internal memory.

  • Z5 is better in terms of performance (heats more than X), camera (4k recording) and some other features.

  • Do Xperia X require tempered glass protection? If so, how can i protect my phone?

  • which one is better? xperia z5 or xperia x ,,??

  • Hey guys i heard that third party camera apps allow 4k video recording on sony xperia X.. is it work? Plz check and let me know

  • Mine doesn't overheat.

  • Go with Sony Xperia X dual F3122

  • Go with Xperia X dual and it is splashproof

  • i'm planning to buy either xa1 or X. is this waterproof, though?

  • Hi which 1 should I take in between Asus zenfone 3 (ze520kl), xperia X , moto z play??? I like this phn but many ppls says it's heated very badly... Suggest me.plz...

  • Xperia X of course

  • The phone is just awesome. Love the camera battery is fine not like a chinese power bank but decent enough. Touch is smooth so ia the software. I m already on android noughat which i found nowehere on new samsung or htc or any model. Just love it compact and loud speakers and lots of apps and features.

  • Model with f5122 is dual sim with hybrid sim slot with 64gb internal memory

  • A3 2017

  • For me its a con because to achieve it, they sacrifice battery & bezel size. It also makes the phone more prone to slipping from hand.

  • Are you kidding me!! Of course worth it if you can find it, i barely could find one for me in my region.

  • Should I buy X, X Compact or Z5?

  • Is this worth it for 300 dollars and how is the gaming on games like vainglory? And has anyone had problems with wifi? Because if you play mobas you dont want high ping my friends z5c had 51 while mine had 21 but 51 is still good. Anyone playing such games on this phone?

  • Is Sony Xperia X and Xperia X F5122 the same? I'm confused. Please response. Thanks!

  • yes it does.

  • Yes, it does.

  • Does it supports Jio VoLTE?

  • which of the following, do you think has the best camera? (i mean still image quality,not video) 1.Huawei nova 2.A3 2017 3.Xperia X 4.A5 2016 5.iphone se 6.galaxy alpha 7.redmi 3 pro

  • It's almost seven months Im using this phone. In between, a problem has arised after February security patch up. The screen remains black as incoming call rings up. I've to unlock it manually to see who's call it is. Even after March n April security software download it remains the same.. So I decided to submit it to service center. There I was told that it will take almost a week to resolve the issue. I submitted. But to my surprise, They called me up the very next day to collect your device. Actually It was a minor software issue. Now The Phone is working very smoothly, no issues at all. All my Friends praises it n Love it. Happy to Have it.. This is my Fourth SONY Phone.. And I could confidently say that... SONY delivers Quality.......! No doubt.

  • thin design must be in pros,not cons

  • This is one of the best product from Sony

  • How can you doubt about Sony 23mp 📷 with exmor RS sonsor. Dont think just buy sony Xperia X dual f5122.

  • Xperia x ofcourse

  • Xperia x or moto z play??plz tell me fast

  • I brought new Xperia ☓ last month, Mobile performance is really good, design is not bad, Xperia XA design is awesome to compare other Xperia devices. My only problem is over heating in video and capturing photos, the phone is temporarily some of function not supporting to take video(the notification on video mode) what can I do Kindly suggest me Otherwise no problem this mobile

  • I brought new xp

  • How is the loudness and sound quality of the front speaking speaker ?

  • My mobile is getting overheat while charging and useing video camera. Can any users suggest me what should i do?

  • Is it possible to uninstall pre-installed apps !!! i want to uninstall some apps...

  • Maybe(good lighting+high shutter speed) but the fan will be distorted XZs or XZ Premium will capture the fan with no distortion cause we know why(dedicated RAM on camera)

  • I have been using 64 GB and Android system (Android N) occupies about 15 GB of the storage, so you have 49 GB storage left on your device for apps, games and other. I'm not sure about 32 GB though.

  • Hi Guys, what is the actual space left for Apps?

  • Xperia x

  • Correction finger-print scanner is a bit tricky.

  • You can bump it to 20 mp. But nothing in between.

  • So, I bought a brand new Xperia X just last week. Wanted the lime gold model but had to settle for Black 1. Upgrading from my Z3Compact, Here is my early short review: PROS: It looks good & well built. Metal back & front curved Glass feel great in hand. The phone flies. Apps running great currently. FHD Display looks good. All colors look great. UI also looks great. Front spacing stereo speakers are great. Volume level better than my old Z3C. Camera is so quick & I can set auto mode to 20mp. :) Charges very fast. 64Gb internal storage is great. Finger-print scanner working nicely too. Dual sim with hybrid slot. Received Nougat 7.0 & all the security updates quickly & the nougat update is working well & looking great. The other regular xperia stuff like h/w camera key, lite & smooth UI, high res quality sound is there too. CONS: It is quite big & thin. I am not going to make stupid comments like it gave me cancer; but the bezels are almost double in size compared to my old Z3C. I wish they had made the phone thicker & used that space to shorten the bezels & use bigger battery. Battery life is not good compared to Z3C on MM. Display is too bright sometimes. Phone warms up while charging, gaming & watching videos. All the models had faint colors compared to those of XA or XZ. My graphite black model actually looks dark grey. No front flash. No noise-cancelling headphones. might be for my region. Power button is tough. Conclusion: I think it is good value for money for 25000 Rupees i.e. around 390$

  • yes

  • does it support tv remote???

  • Xperia X for sure.

  • Wich one is better Xperia x or xa1 ?

  • Yeah I'm also facing the same problem of low ringtone volume while incoming calls.. Rest in music player the same ringtone rings loud enough..

  • No it can't has a slight gap between shot button and capturing

  • What's the quality of the pics taken in superior auto mode?8 MP?

  • Have you taken it to service center yet ?

  • Only the full hd 60fps causes thermal issues but not that worse at all, anyway, record with full hd 30fps.

  • Because you are using stamina mode first level, try the second level.

  • My main issue is that the phone overheats when using the camera for several (4-7) 30 second videos. Camera features like object tracking will be disabled, and then camera may be turned off or the phone will turn off.

  • no xperia x 2017 bcz xzs and xzs premium are two high end this tym

  • My master piece is very slow, what could be the problem?

  • Can it capture a running fan?? I wants to know how fast it is..plz its important

  • Hello osman, i bought this master piece 2 weeks earlier so far so great, not a single issue.

  • Well, I have dual sim variant and it's working perfectly for me.

  • Both phones have same camera. X performance is water/dust resistant with 820 chipset, that's the only difference.

  • Xperia X Performance as it is a flagship phone and also it has some better functions than in X like better chipset Snapdragon 820 vs 650 and IP68 (dust and water proof) and maybe some better camera features in Performance.

  • so many problem .. setting is change without I adjust for dual sim call - for volume while I charge I find color become darker suddenly some times network drop this is the bad phone on the earth from software & hardware I NOT ADVICE WITH THIS PHONE OR SONY AS TOTAL

  • Any body have the problem xperia x low volume ring tone. When we set a ringtone that volume will low. That same ring tone while playing on xperia music player or other media player its getting good volume, anybdy have this problem liq volume ringtone, please anybdy reply me.

  • Which is better camera Xperia X vs xperia X profomance. Which one?

  • Better bring a water proof pouch just in case.

  • Dont use for 5 min off wi fi and lte

  • Mine doesn't overheat at all whatever i do, make sure you are not recording 1080p 60fps

  • I kno this phone is not water-resistant. But how sensitive is it to water ? Can it withstand taken out in rains or being inside wet clothes for hours.
