Sony Xperia X Performance: a review and characterization of the model

The Sony Xperia has been the experience of the production lines of gadgets. He was not always successful, as, for example, in the case of a series of “Z”. No sooner had the company failed to stop the release of these smartphones, as appeared on the horizon the new flagship. The developers have sought to justify themselves, they say, now in the pursuit of advanced technology they will not forget about the quality of the devices. In General, every new flagship is aimed at comfortable use.

Now the series includes four gadgets: Xperia X, Xperia Ultra, XA, XA Xperia and Xperia X Performance. An overview of the latest today we're going to do.

Package contents

Sony did not prove himself as a generous company, so in the box all standard. Except the smartphone, there is documentation, microUSB cord, and slower charging. The box is compact. On it stands a large letter “X”, and shimmers with the inscription «Xperia”.

Singapore

The company turned out beautiful Xperia X Performance. An overview of its appearance cannot disappoint. You should start with the color of delights: for buyers available in classic white, “graphite black’, ‘rose gold’ and ‘Golden lime”. The names of the colors are absolutely consistent with their appearance. They turned out very good and definitely original.

Perhaps the designers of this smartphone can put up a monument. He looks perfect. Unlike their “brothers”, the rear panel Xperia X Performance metallic and matte. The sides of the gadget is smooth, so the unit is very sleek.

Dimensions of smart big. The battery has not become more powerful, but the thickness of 8.6 mm is a little conspicuous. Of course, under the rear panel is a powerful “filling”, but objectively, from one millimeter you could get rid of. The screen occupies the entire front panel. On the sides of the frame is very thin, but noticeable by the protrusions of the housing. Place above and below the screen is 1.4 cm

Elements on the body

A Classic location and took the elements of the case Sony Xperia X Performance. A review of their cost to make, as there are still a couple of comments, but more on that later. So, above the screen an earpiece, emblazoned underneath the logo and at the sides of the front camera and the NFC sensor. Under the display is another speaker, already external.

As it is a monopod, the rear panel is not removed. On it in the upper left corner is the main camera, it's flash. Center classic is the inscription Xperia. On the left side of the combination slot “SIM” and a memory card or two “love”. The tray is attached to the plug, so removed all together. After the opening of the slot the smartphone off. It must be borne in mind.

But on the opposite side are three buttons: in the middle already have a signature power button with fingerprint scanner below the volume rocker, underneath the ‘fotostock”. Discomfort just occurs with volume control. Its location is controversial, as the classical place on the top is much more convenient to use.

At the top is the secondary microphone near the headphone Jack. On the bottom a place for micro-USB and the main microphone.

Facilities

To Use the smartphone like to look at it. It lies comfortably in the hand thanks to its rounded shapes. The dimensions are moderate, he is not heavy. To control the device easily with one hand. But, as mentioned earlier, problems arise with the swing volume. Fans have long been accustomed to its position at the top, apart from the fact that the new location is unusual, and yet terribly inconvenient.

The power Button with the fingerprint scanner works perfectly. The smartphone responds quickly to commands and awakens the system. Successfully located and click “descent” camera. It is particularly convenient to use when shooting horizontal. Then the finger he begs to click on the button.

About the Assembly and say nothing. Sony never had problems with it like the older models and the new-fangled flagships. Nothing to fasten, not loose, even if you make the effort and to press the case.

High Quality display

The Beauty of the exterior and complemented by other quality features, the Xperia X Performance. The overview screen is not surprising, since throughout the series he is great. The company did not “stuff” here the 4K resolution, but for a five-inch display is enough for Full HD. Matrix IPS screen so colors are moderately saturated and juicy. The picture is bright and very detailed. The viewing angles are, of course, the maximum, when the slopes are not distorted no color, no contrast.

The Developers have also prepared a special technology X-Reality for mobile. Thanks to it the display looks more clear and intense. Regarding brightness, it can be configured independently or you can select auto mode. The latter works well, but sometimes there are problems on a Sunny day. The brightness of the screen is good, but “automatic” somehow, not increase it to the maximum day in the sun.

From the sensor is also not expecting any problems. There is hope that Sony got rid of phantom taps and in the new series they cannot be found. Multitouch recognizes up to 10 simultaneous touches.

«Sweets» users

Making for the Xperia X Performance review operating system, it is worth noting that there were no surprises. At the head of the system is Android 6.0Marshmallow, not without proprietary add-ons: lock screen, which shows the current time and date, there is a microphone icon for voice search in “Google”, the camera icon allowing you to launch the app without unlocking, well, where do without the indicator of the fingerprint.

A typical Status bar for Xperia X Performance Dual. Review of the blind is nothing new showed. The home screen is easily customizable to the user's taste.

The Operating system can hardly be called “clean”. In addition to the standard “Google” of software, there are many brand. Some of them may come in handy. Conveniently, there's already a built-in antivirus that this app is really useful.

If the owner is not satisfied with something in the outer shell of the system, you can quickly change it with the brand. Otherwise, everything remained the standard for smartphones from Sony Xperia.

The Beast machine

Well, the most interesting part of the Xperia X Performance. Overview of technical characteristics is always expected, and I want to see something incredibly cool. This new model boasts. She was very healthy. Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 with a 64-bit system and four cores. For graphics, the developers have installed the Adreno 530. Promising “iron” added 3 GB of RAM.

There is a Built-in 32 GB, of which, of course, is not available to all, but only 20. There is a combo slot where you can put microSD up to 200 GB.

This unit is universal. It is suitable for games, office programs and surfing the Internet. With a huge multitasking single lag. Not only that, the gadget is not slow, rather, he “flying”. All third-party software, through which the device passed the test, show albeit not the top result, but sufficient for all cases.

About games say it makes no sense, as the smartphone goes, any of them. The only barely noticeable flaw-it is overheating. If you long to sit at games and apps, the back panel heats up.

Other “bun”

The sound of no complaints. It is almost perfect. But this is all only if you listen with headphones. The external speaker is average, it has light volume and little bass. For music and movies is better to use a headset.

Like all brothers, this device has proprietary protection IP65/IP68. But in the instructions it is forbidden to throw the phone in water. All this protection is designed only to work gadget in the rain. In principle, it is possible to wash under the tap smartphone. But it is necessary to close all ports and covers.

Picture

That brings us to another important element in Sony Xperia X Performance. Camera review should start with the numbers. The main has a resolution of 23 MP, it works very quickly. The speed can be observed when the application starts, and when focusing. By the way, the autofocus allows you to shoot objects in motion, and the photos are very high quality.

When you run the application the shooting mode is the standard automatic. In principle, it make a great image. But if you are familiar with manual settings, learn to use them, these photos will be even better.

The Front facing camera has a 13 MP resolution. It is obvious that you are looking for “Exercise” will be more than successful.

Wireless settings

There are No issues with the wireless interface at all. The mobile network works well. Wi-Fi gives maximum speed of your Internet connection. The signal of the satellite navigation also is lightning fast. Of course, for the owners of the support available LTE frequencies.

Persistence

Making for the smartphone Sony Xperia X Performance review, it is necessary to tell and about autonomy. The battery capacity of 2700 mAh works better than can be expected of him. To play a video it will be almost 5 hours. Play get about 3 hours.

Save energy consumption of mobile systems preserve battery Stamina and Ultra Stamina. At a moderate work gadget is home to about two days. These figures are encouraging, given the size, the resolution of the display and functionality of the device.

Results

Here come the Sony Xperia X a Dual Performance. A review of its characteristics showed that the device was more than perfect. Now it is easy to believe that the company embarked on “path” and really creates a comfortable and powerful gadgets. Complaints about the camera are almost there. All the little things and “grab” are more for convenience. They do not affect productivity and overall job, and are only a small whims of users. New “child” Sony Xperia has received a firm “five” for all passed tests. And the chief justice – – will definitely be satisfied.
