Sony Xperia X Premium - User Reviews

  • Avaiable in Canada

  • See xz premium

  • I feel like this would've been a great phone, expecially with that 4K display, shame it got cancelled.

  • Pls install radio.

  • plz..............5.7 or 6

  • Why cancelled ??

  • From Abraham p. Sony xz no Fm radio. This phone wiil have to include the Fm radio with RDS.

  • I fully agree.Sony must PLEASE not even consider removing the fm radio with rds. it is a must have on this phone. Please listen to this request. A better sound quality will also do. Thanks for listening.

  • ???? canceled?? this is concept? or next concept z5 premium?

  • Cancelled? :(

  • 4k hdr or bust

  • One of the nice differences of the android phones is the FM radio that you use, the FM radio which is very useful everywhere, don't take that away from us, Don't let disapear the FM radios,

  • A better smartphone xperia X than xperia Z5 premium very soon please

  • 6gb ram 6 Inch for survival of zony flagship

  • One more thing. Why is phone is only 3gb ram and 1080p display? Downgrade of Z5 Premium? What is this????????

  • I wish this phone do exist but with SD 830, 5500 mah, better speakers (louder), OIS, better camera software, wider aperture, front-facing flash, back or front placement for the fingerprint scanner, iris scanner, more features on the ui, dual camera set-up, Sony's own stylus, better optimization, XA ultra + Z3 compact design with minimal bezels etc. They need to make a beast with the best specs

  • according to japanese leak/rumor sites, the X premium will be: SD820, 3gb lpddr4, 64gb emmc 5.1, 5.5" 120hz fullHD (1080p) whitemagic display with 1:2000 contrast, usb type-C, lighter than the z5 premium, waterproof, and have bezels % roughly the same as xperia X, which should have it look slimmer than z5p

  • My Suggestion for premium : Hologram display Exclusive SoC by Sony or Tegra K2 or K3 Connection between brain waves & sony smartphone 4 colors use in display same 4 colors in sharp display Verified Identity with human genome Output sound : 64-bit 256 kHz DTS or Dedicated To Sound & Dolby Digital 5.1ch or 7.1ch in Sony Speakers Sony is the Best of Best Smartphone.

  • I believe, this is gonna be one hell of a smartphone... man i love sony..

  • I have still hope sony in the position to build this phone. I am not really convinced that the XPerformance is the real flagship of the electronic giant sony. If that is the case then as if sony implies that they are moving backwards.

  • Absolutely I have the Z5 Premium and this would be a badass phone to if they make it waterproof also

  • Great phone, if they improve the audio quality which is a little tinny in my Z5. Hope they use 32/64/128 variants since that is the market trend. Also the processor im not sure how efficient the kryo is. It would be amazing if its waterproof and also bezel less which is a difficult task. Its one thing or the other. The Z5 premium was very delicate and bent easily. Please make this one a little more stronger, since its a big phone. I am a very loyal Sony fan. Been using SEricsson T650i, C905 then Xperia Neo, L, Z1 and now Z5. Hope Sony blows minds with this phone. All the Best Sony!

  • SONY still remain its ram because it does no like SAMSUNG s7 need more ram to run the phone I still hoping SONY can announce the higher ram to satisfy the customer's need. When I look SONY have improve the screen resolution on this smartphone is quite good,but dun forget this type smartphone feature is over than other brands of phone on screen technical changes.So SONY may add this feature on its tablet features, the larger screen with good quality resolution, good quality of sound and camera function maybe this can help them fight back the top tablet design and function. Beside I also boring on the SONY still using the Scratch-resistant glass ,why SONY dun try to use the latest Corning Gorilla Glass to improve the screen protection. Plus, the SONY should improve its fast charging function to reduce the charging times now the SONY charging skill still far from other brand's fast charging skill. Maybe Sony can install the personal assistance function on this phone, like Xperia ear function For the lousy part is the Sony's microphone function during calling the sound is quite low,(maybe Sony's mic is design for the ants use or it just design to protect the other phone user?)hope SONY can improve it Aside from that, Sony smartphone are not good in the long-lasting its sound and ram running function, when I was bought it after 4 months, my Sony's phone after swimming the sound is malfunction, I really hope Sony can improve this problem, maybe this cause many Sony Fans change to other brand, if the Apple is release a water-resistance function phone, maybe Sony will face the big problem to survive on the market

  • Yes you are right

  • Plz improved call sounds. Sony call sounds very low.

  • I am witting for this phone I reed all specification of this phone is good But sony xperia x premium should have at atlest 4GB ram and 6.0 inch HDR display size is good in my opinion

  • please make AR plaster and stereo ringtone. make very loud speaker the same iphone or HTC boom sound speaker .now sony phone is low sond speaker very much.

  • Sony should build this phone. I am not convince that that X-Performance is a premium phone like my Z5 premium. Please improve the loud speaker. Z5 Premium loud speaker couldnot even compared to Z2.

  • I WILL WAIT FOR this PHONE. X-Performance is not a premium phone like the my Z5 Premium.

  • I read that Sony execs in Taiwan said the rumour about the HDR display is false. Thoughts?

  • Sony Xperia X premium should have at least 4GB DDR5 RAM and 64 GB of storage as there are many of companies providing.In camera also there need some improvement like pixel size 1.22/1.3 micron as well as RAW capture. Pls avoid heating problems. Let's see ....

  • It is dual core... and dual core. That is equal to quad core..

  • Oh man , just dual core ?

  • I'm agree. Screen to body ratio = %75 & Maybe more than %75, why not!! Also 4Gb ram, Better than better.

  • In Sony Xperia X Premium, 28 minutes ago Plz body size no more big.body in disply 75.5% be better.4gb ram

  • Plz body size no more big.body in disply 72.5% be better.

  • Sony premium will use the newly camera sensor for 4k shoot.

  • is there a reason other then printing that you believe that 23mp is better then 12mp? if you know anything about photography you would know that MP count means NOTHING in terms of quality unless your blowing your photo up to at least 20x30@190PPI or beyond, a camera shoot out is the only way to determine if this camera is better then the S7.

  • Better Coming With Android N.If It Happen Is So Good.

  • and also China, but some other markets import the snapdragon version from the us

  • only for usa, i think so

  • read the autobiography of steve jobs and his connection with sony. all of you people are kind of black sheeps who follows the same line as the head sheep goes, which resulted to the decrease in the sales of sony, but not in quality. i dont hate samsung and apple nor i love sony. for example regarding tablet sectors apple is undisputed king and regarding mobile sectors there are many devices that are noteworthy. i hoped a s820 chipset for s7 in india but unfortunate. i support sony because you people hate it for no reason. if you dont want to buy just dont. make some clear idea before you badly comment on a device for no reason

  • Oh, ok

  • I thought about the S7 too but for me QHD is a turn off.. I want FHD.

  • Well what about the S7/Edge? SD card slot, Waterproof, and it has a Snapdragon 820 variant, and even a better QHD display, and it also has more ram with 4 GB

  • Yes;Adequate post for those who are brainwashed by samsung marketing..... Even Steve Job admired SONY for stunning and amazing innovations...... SO SONY Z5 and X series are topmost KEY players in Global smartphone market...

  • You might change your phone frequently, but there are people in many countries who don't do so. Endurance rating of amoled is less compared to quantum dot display and z5 display is better than s6 in some angles. Coming to x premium the display it is boasting is surely a amoled killer. Sony is underrated because of the mindset of the people. Samsung and apple used this strategy and started magnetising people babbling about their devices. But in real life samsung is a bloat and apple is overpriced. True xperia users know the feel, quality of their devices. Samsung boasts about exynos chipset for being more powerful than snapdragon ( in the case of e7420) but in real life memory transfer , 3rd party apk installs, rooting problems arises. Sony gives the best out of it with unique design and aesthetic look. The company who does true innovations in mobile sector is sony and evn steve jobs admired sony for its outstanding innovations,and designs

  • And there are rumors of even a setup of dual 23mp cameras. I think that sony plans to.hit the top spot in camera performance at a whole new level

  • 4k will be present for 100% sure. do you think a sd820,3gb ram, a 4k hdr /1080p hdr screen will be without 4k recording. hdr will be better than amoled. burning of amoled will not be present.

  • Its water resistant and wished the finger print was on the back

  • errmm,,, guys i think this is a hulk buster

  • GSMarena is not 100% accurate. It says that a the end of the specifications. Also OnpePlusOne haven't even announce the OnePlusThree themselves, yet.

  • Yes it's Best combination and Sony 1St to do it and leaders in cell battery and Quality Sony cells.

  • U forgot good camera bro. But I am sure that xperformance have camera at least as good as s7, and as I am more interested in still photography, 23 mp is always better than 12. Though they could have given 4gb ram. You can argue 3gb is sufficient, but then I can say why 2gb is not sufficient. Have you measured the ideal amount of ram for Android marshmallow? It's just that more is better, at least for Android, specially of u r paying full flagship price.

  • Best combo this year: - snapdragon 820 - sd card - waterproof - FHD Display The only phone that has those 4 features: X Performance.

  • Yes!! Sony Have Need To Great Change & This Change For Survive Sony Mobile Is Very Important & Necessary.Wake Up Sony No Just In Your Samarphones,Also In TV & Other Product.Should be This Change! Very Soon Happen & Now To late. Hurry Up Sony.

  • Xperia z2 3gb ram s5 2gb Xperia z3 3gb ram note 4 3gb Xperia z3+3gb ram s6 3gb Xperia z5 3gb ram note 5 4gb Xperia XPerf 3gb s7 4gb Xperia xprem 3gb note 6 6gb OK I do agree that Sony is underrated for what they are, but also Sony should accept that they have to stop their arrogant approach if they want to survive. They have to give customers what they want, rather than what Sony think is better. And also, every phone maker trying its best to have a better market share,(look at vivo, Xiaomi, Huawei,even Samsung and HTC.) but Sony continues its half as*ed effort. Take a look at above figures.... 6 generations, same amount of ram. That much may be okay according to them, but they are premium than Sammy and still worse. Yes, the xperia z5 was hugely underrated, and was a better choice than s6(waterproof, expandable storage, dual heat pipe so sd810 didn't throttle, and almost same performance and battery life as of s6. When you look deep at z5, u have to recognise that Sony is responsible for those underrated reviews. Z5 was 6 month older than s6, but was just "comparable". They could have gone with AMOLED like HTC one a9, could have thrown a gig more ram (zenfone 2, op2, v10, note 5 etc had 4gb ram in 2015) at least in x performance! Failure of z3+ wasn't(totally) their fault, but x performance is really irritating decision. Removal of 4k video is just a mystery. And please don't say "no one uses it" or blah blah. Because why the hell it is there since z2? Actually, discontinuation of z series and this x series will be biggest mistakes Sony mobile ever made. People were very excited about z6 family and all 6 members of it, thus satisfying everyone's choice. But, duh!

  • Sony needs to improve the display quality and correct the heating issues...

  • well said. I became a Sony fan since 2005, i have used Samsung phones but missing Sony UI,media and design.Sony quality is superior than Samsung and others.enjoying my supper Xperia Z2 D6503.

  • You obviously are wasting your time promoting Low grade and shame on SONY Beast posts. Like Sony Z5 and Z5p best camera cell ever tested, this SONY X Performance will just take over next Best Flagship in 2016! and we will that when Released and by Real Reviewers like gsm. Hehe

  • I think Sony in phone industry is like Subaru in car industry. They both create amazing machine, but not the design. Let's say, they have inner beauty but so-so face :D

  • Maybe It's Price More Than 1000$ !! This Is Really Big Problem 4Me!

  • You sir are true.

  • This will definitely be a hit.

  • This phone will be great for camera because everyone knows that sony has the best camera on their phones

  • 4K screen and 1 billion color is so awesome, but with a camera limited to 1080p and basic capturing capabilities doesn't make sense Sony was trying to make a phone with unique feature but didn't know how to support them, If these specs to be final.. I think this year's Sony flagship device won't match other Korean flagship devices like Samsung and LG in sales because Sony didn't get it yet, to win the flagships war, you need to be perfect in everything, ... LG came out with unique modular design and used Wide angles cams, which also is great in low-light capturing , Samsung brought back water resisting feature and the SD card, the S7 edge looks charming and the AMOLED Screens can't be ignored, it also has great battery and camera, with pipe cooling system.. Sony needs new tricks

  • Haha classic!

  • Yes! Of course; Quantity is not Quality Popularity is not excellency and it means marketing to persuade... No matter what samsung's marketing say...SONY is a ruby who does not go to mud

  • And Samsung trolls will try say that 4k is a gimmick. And so is 4k hdr. Well screw you Samsung trolls! Ya'll just scared cause sony is going to have better displays! 3gb of ram is enough for sony xperias. Samsung will still lose in multitasking even if xperias will just have 3gb of ram and samsung will have 6gb.

  • this will definitely need a massive battery...4000mah at least...in my opinion we can get used to a slightly thicker phone as long as the battery life is up to the mark...

  • we sony fans needs more ram pls ...

  • Over a billion colors, nice. But I don't think it will make that much difference. However, we are stuck with the 16m colors for a while now. First 256 colors, followed bij 4096. Then we were amazed to see displays with 65536 colors, and 262144 was even better. Then 16 million color displays showed up, and after that it got silent. And so this is the next step, over a billion.

  • On Earth People Know Sony Better Than Samsung But Now Why People Choose Samsung Over Sony !! Have Many Reasons,Important Reason = Incorrect Info Bye Stores.For Example : If U Buy This Phone ( 4 Example Sony Z5) After Short Time Back This Phone Very Esay Remove Or Display After Short Time... It's Not Story Really I See & It's Very Weird For Me.Anyway Always Sony Is Sony Forever.

  • You do realize that they won't "hear you" because this is not a Sony webpage

  • Yes, This is sony mobile, dont expect too much. Sony mobile has poor skills, luckily they get supports from other sony, screen tech from Tv division(its dead btw), PS from sony gaming, audio from sound division, exclusive camera sensor from sony component solutions, and contents from sony music and sony pictures. So, i predict HDR screen is the only big ugrade, 4GB ram for sure, bigger battery is also possible. And better volume button placement. Thats all we can expect.

  • sony ! wireless charging please !!!!! do you even hear me?

  • Yeahh agree wid you my frnd!:D

  • Maybe they'll bump it 4 GB at least

  • Sony is super underrated company which happens to be the one of the few mobile manufacturer that I only trust which includes Lg, Microsoft and Apple. I used Samsung before and due to past experiences such as being laughed at cause my Samsung 'flagship' phone is so shitty, I've been really discouraged of how low the quality of their devices are. And when I switched to these companies, I found them a lot better. Sony makes great products. But, how on earth is everyone so freaking retarded and stupid to even choose Samsung over Sony. I don't care how much more popular Samsumg is than Sony. Quality products are the true essence why we buy them which can be offered by Sony anyday. And now, even though Samsung phones are shitty which are almost unoperatable, people ignore those facts because they are so blind about it. And when they find something from Sony that is not good for them, they would like name Sony as the 'shittiest company ever'. But, you are right, it's something to do with the branding. No matter how better Sony is than Samsung, people will never see it because they're to blind to see this fact.

  • There's lots of phones coming out this year with 6GB RAM. The OnePlus 3 is one that comes to mind. I bet this Xperia will have 6 gigs as well.

  • They're not going toi use 6GB RAM as most laptops dont even have that much. ASUS used 4GB RAM last year more than that is unlikely

  • Sony trilumius display,to me look twice better then samsung amoled,and trilumius its not usual ips,and sony have x reality engine which make bas pictures and video look much better

  • this is sonymobile, I suggest dont think too much

  • I want a Chrome color like Z5 Premium Dual...

  • Just Battery Capacity! Between 4700 mAh & 5000 mAh.

  • I am certain the ram will be 6GB. They have been using 3GB for the padt 2.5 years.

  • X Premium With 6GB Ram = About 3GB Ram Free 4 User & Maybe With Good Ram Manager Little More Than 3GB.Anyway 6GB Ram Is Necessary 4 This Monster Phone.

  • I wish the RAM 04GB or 06GB

  • Feels Or Anything !! X Premium 4Me Is Excellent. Especially HDR 4K Display & Hi Res Audio. Remember, I'm In My Path.

  • Wow! So many haters trolling here! I guess this means they are scared that their toys are inferior. Hahaha! Silly trolls! GO SONY!

  • Sony. Two flagships in one year. Z5 user here. Feels a little outdated.

  • it will shoot 4k videos for 100% sure. it has got sd820,3gb ram, 4k screen and no 4k? have some logic. gsmarena needs to update that.

  • Great Smartquake Fr Sony, Coming Soon.Viva Real Lover Sony.Over

  • Apparently, you never own any Sony or Samsung phones so you can't make an amateur comment.

  • If you watch a show called brain game, then you will know what I mean. It is all about the brand name.

  • Its just a mobile phone.......Not a laptop or a super computer.....

  • This phone's gonna have a really really good display. 4k+HDR. It's gonna be super nice but as expected,if it's Sony, there's gonna no boom in the smartphone world but if Samsung made a device like this, 4k display phone, everyone would rejoice because Samsung made it. Hahaha.

  • At least 4gb ddr4 ram,64 gb memory, sd 823.

  • I am waiting for x premium...

  • I am glad to know that finally we have a good news from sony. I hope it will not use recent X design, plastic frame with metal back cover is only for low end phones. I hope they improve the UI. Xperia UI is the lightest modded UI, close to stock. Only change the icon and animation, notification center, task manager, nav bar are stock, they need tweak it. Bring usb mass storage And the most important is they have to tweak the UI to run UHD.

  • At least 0.5" too small to even consider this phone.

  • [(3840^2 + 2160^2)^0.5]/5.5=801ppi. Thats how 4k resolution is compressed in a 5.5" screen.

  • Awesome ... Something new is here...

  • Specs are just rumors, so things may change. I actually think its gonna have 4-6 GB RAM and SD823 not 820. Nevertheless, it is a monster comparing it to present flagships.

  • 801ppi, whyyyyyy???

  • it has a 4k display but it can't shoot 4k video?? wow!! i just don't understand what goes on the minds of sony people.......

  • Sony can't never beat samsung display

  • Nice

  • It is 4k resolution 4gb ram But sd823 not the 820 And 4k video Ip68 Fast charge (quick charge 3) New imx 318

  • The best flagship of the year.

  • One hell of a display.

  • Truly impressive but it should have 4gb ram and 4k recording

  • 23mp 1080p not 4k, why not 720p. For why 4k screen? For that size fullhd also high..

  • The display is capable of showing 1.07 BILLION colours. Impressive.

  • Perfect flagship. Here i come beauty

  • No 4k recording ?

  • Good specs, wow another 4K phone and only Sony can do that. Really impressed with that. I hope that the internal storage is 64 GB with expandable storage (surely Sony will not miss this one). I am pretty sure that battery life is at least 3000 mAh and not more than 3400 mAh since Sony's new devices uses new technology. Also hope that it is waterproof and dust proof with IP68. Sony..make believe.

  • Yeah, I was just started to think am I the only guy to notice the first-in-a-phone 10-bit color depth :D

  • OMG! That display is UNBELIEVABLE! 1.07 billion colors on 801 ppi! I was planning to go with the XP or the S7, but not anymore! Go Sony!

  • The specs are good. If the battery life is good, and they will not price it too expensive it could be a success. It is interesting if they choose to not put FM radio.

  • Oh My God.X.Premium Display Have Real Big Upgrade. Sony R&B Really Wake Up. Excellent.

  • Welcome Fairy S.phone.X.Premium Is Very Desirable.

  • Nice!

  • The best from sony mobile
