Sony Xperia X

KillerShamrock

So Sony kinda sprung these outta nowhere 3 mid to high end phone in the new Xperia X range

The Xperia X The Xperia XA and the Xperia Performance

The Xperia X performance stands out to me top end specs with a 5 inch 1080p screen 2 day battery life and IP68#

Think I have found my next phone to be honest.

According to CNET, the X Performance will be Asia only. Which is a pity, it ticks an awful lot of boxes.

Think manufacturers should go back to 2-year release cycles. Even a self-confessed addict like me is starting to get a bit meh about the constant turnover of phones with near nominal spec improvements.

No OIS on the camera or Fast Charge?

Doesn't seem to be, but for me not a big issue the screen size and res are perfect, and if it provides 2 day battery life like sony are saying quick charge really isn't a loss. My QHD LG G3 has proven to me that anything over 1080p its not worth it.

Seems to be going to the States and parts of Europe but Germany and the UK dont look like they are getting it, hopefully we are here as from what I can see it ticks all the boxes since HTC became a subsidiary of apple :rolleyes:

Ill ask my friends in phone shops to hit the sony rep with some questions and see if I can get some info.

€599 for the Snapdragon 650 version? That's flagship scratch for midrange silicon, IMHO.

So from the news I've seen, the X Performance is replacing the Z6 yet isn't coming to the UK. I don't understand this. I was willing to wait until September when the Z6 was rumoured to be released (I currently have a Z2) but if the phone isn't going to be made available over here then Sony have lost me as a customer, which is really disappointing as I am very fond of the Xperia phones.

Just came here to make much the same point. I'm not sure what Sony are thinking making their European flagship a €600 midranger. Did they think that the HTC One A9 is the model to follow?

I put the question to Sony on FB and got the following, fairly generic (and expected) response;
