Sony Xperia X unlocked smartphone,32GB Black (US Warranty)

I think this is a really under rated phone, likely due to the really high launch price. I spent $300 and it's worth every penny. No big issues and is much zippier than the blu phone.- Performance: The phone runs everything I throw at it with ease and simpler tasks like browsing are noticeably smoother than the blu phone. The snapdragon 650 hexacore is a bit of an older chip however performs admirably and the hexacore design 2x 1.8ghz and 4x 1.2ghz is a very efficient design, especially against the slow 8 core used in the life one x. The gpu is Adreno 510, a strong mid-mid to high-mid GPU that can handle moderately intensive and casual games. Have realistic expectations though, it's not top of the line and probably won't run the most intensive apps on the play store smoothly. 3 gigabytes of RAM is more than enough and multitasks effortlessly. I've never had any issues with the internal storage or the 32g microSD card that I put in. If you have a PS4 you can use the controller with the phone and do some other supposedly nifty stuff.- Camera: The camera is a bit odd, likely due to software. When looking through the camera in the app, it's not that great looking but when it snaps the pic, it comes out much nicer. Most phones is the other way around. Points for the lack of motion blur that I've seen on every other phone I've used. A very annoying quirk about the camera app is that it cannot be used in portrait view. I'm looking around for other apps to replace Sony's but the camera by itself is a good one. Not mind blowing but good. When buying any phone, remember that megapixel count is actually a very negligible spec when it comes to predicting photo quality.- Wireless: One of the reasons I ditched the blu is because of the lackluster cellular coverage. The Xperia x exceeds my expectations in this area and it gets LTE almost anywhere I go with AT&T. Sometimes it's so quick I forget i'm not on wifi! One of the other users say that wifi isn't that great. Mine works fine but drops out for a half-minute or so occasionally. My college's wireless network regresses every year though so I just chalk it up to that.* ATT uses bands 2, 4, 5, 12 (lightly), and 17 (heavily) in the US. The blu was missing 12, don't pull a me and make sure a phone has the necessary bands before buying it! Many descriptions don't have them clearly listed, so use GSMarena if unsure <http://www.gsmarena.com> The SIM slot takes nano SIM only, you can have a guy at any ATT store swap it in like 5 minutes if you don't have one.- Battery: Lasts me all day and then some with normal usage. You could probably get 2 days out of it with just browsing and with Sony's power-saving options on. It charges rediculously quick too, like 0 to 100% in an hour quick. I hope the battery keeps up with time.- Chassis: The reason why I got this phone in particular was the looks. They're every bit as beautiful as in the picture. It's not the most comfortable phone to hold but that can likely be fixed with a case. The brushed aluminum back, the classic camera placement (top left corner) and the curved glass edges is really pretty and is subtly classy and sexy at the same time (the James Bond of phones), a rare look in phones today. Surprisingly, both sides of the phone are pretty resistant to fingerprints and smudging, I haven't cleaned it in the 2 weeks or so that I've had it and not a single smudge. The speakers on the top and bottom of the front panel are clear because of the placement, but they aren't high quality speakers in any sense, but I usually wear headphones and those sound fine. It doesn't go as loud as my iPod 5 (which is probably a good thing). Volume button is in a really weird placement that you wouldn't think much of by looking at the pictures on here. Display is sharp, there really isn't a need for anything above 1080p on a phone as the eye can't easily see the difference and a higher resolution just taxes the GPU harder, leading to lower performance. Wish notification light was placed elsewhere and was brighter, but whatev.- Software: I don't like Sony's UI much, I prefer the blu's. It's not much of an issue with android because you can download any launcher you wish and change the UI from there; I use Apex and it looks fine. As said, the camera app kind of sucks. No small amount of bloatware that can't be deleted either, though at least it doesn't have all the crap from a carrier and most of it can be disabled anyway, so the phone doesn't skip any beats.Overall a very good mid range phone that's definitely worth the price is is now (still 300). I'd give it a 4.8 for the meh software and the few chassismishaps, but even looking for one, I cannot find an issue that would give me pause if I'd known it before buying. The stuff that the phone does right, blows the minor faults out of the water anyway. I wholeheartedly recommend giving this phone a shot; it may pleasantly surprise you as it did me. Congrats if you read this far, hope it was worth your time :)

I bought this phone 1 year ago and still using it currently. So now it's good time to review it. Pretty satisfied of this model. It still works quickly, never any lags, so processor is very good. The screen shows a great picture which is very detalized and bright cause it has high pixels resolution. Camera makes high quality pictures. Very like its design, it looks nice and stylish. Finger print sencor always works properly, and also I like the face identification feature in it. But there are some disadvantages also. The only what I don't like is overheating of camera. So when it's hot outside and you wanna take some pictures, the camera gets died because overheating after 5-10 minutes of working. It shows you notification on a screen and go off. The other thing is battery capasity. It's actually not very big from a stock, and now after a year passed I see the battery runs out much more quickly. It's not like critical but it's obviously and making upset.

Pros: Sleek design. Fast, no lag at all after a couple days of moderate use. Great speakers, and great sound quality through headphone jack. Super easy to transfer data from your old phone. SIM card and SD card from your old phone can be put in by yourself, so there's no need to go to your carrier's store for assistance. Cool double tap feature that you can set up to wake up the phone from sleep. Charges moderately quickly, and battery lasts plenty long. Camera button on bottom right is in the perfect place. Good front and back cameras. Great screen resolution. Streams 1080p.Cons: No home button; I knew that it didn't have one when I bought it, but I like the click, instead of just the icon on the screen. Volume buttons are in an awkward place. You can't hold down a volume button to increase/decrease volume dramatically; you have to click the button each time to change the volume. Comes with a lot of apps that you probably won't ever use - It's a 32 GB phone, so those apps don't take up too much space, but if you're coming from a 128 or 64 GB phone it might bug you that these apps are taking up space. It has a pretty weak flashlight/camera flash.

Hello! I have had the phone for about 10 months, the phone works well​ for the most part!The camera is great when in natural lighting, very poor in low lighting and DOES NOT work when the phone is overheating, and the shutter is quite slow at times. Action shots are poor.The phone overheats a couple times a week, while charging particularly or when it is hot outside or you are near a heater. It is frustrating at timeWhen the phone is dying it is exceptionally slowOther than that I do not have many other complaints.Battery lasts quite a while!For the price it is a good phone, if it was any more expensive it would not be worth it.

Having tried almost every recent Sony Xperia phone in the past 3 years or so, this is by far one of the best since the Xperia Z3 Compact. It's faster than the Z5 series (Antutu and everyday usage). Snappy, no lag, camera is soon much quicker and better photos. And unless you really want the water proofing or care for benchmarks, no reason to get the thicker and bulkier X Performance variant. I don't do games on the phone so the processor is more than enough and feels just as fast as any other phone in daily usage.The screen and design puts it on the same level as other flagships. Curved and flush with the bezels, smooth and feels premium. I have an iPhone 6S as well and I finally feel the Sony has that same polished and feel when you hold it in your hand. Price could be a little cheaper but Sony is always a little pricier than others. Size is a perfect balance I think between bulky 5.5+ phones and smaller 4.x phones.
