On the 9th of June, the Sony presented its new smartphones from Xperia X line. The devices inaugurate the new nomenclature that replaces the Z line, as the main series of cell phones of the Japanese company. More than the name change, the Sony also intends to start a new concept of mobile usability with mottos like “look ahead"And"see the real world".
The company's medium-term strategy includes new forms of communication that involve IoT (internet of things) and IA (artificial intelligence). In the short term, the Japanese company focused on optimizing essential technologies and resources. Some of these concepts are present in the Sony Xperia X that we had the opportunity to test in the last few days and that the analysis can be seen below:
Layout and finish
the design of Xperia X follows the visual pattern of most smartphones from Sony, such as the Z line and the M series. Although I'm personally a fan of the design of these devices, I think the average consumer can be a little confused, since there is a great similarity between new and old devices.
Despite this, the Xperia X It is a beautiful and compact device. The device has an aluminum body with the curvature of its edges very discreet. On the back, the Sony has chosen to use the aluminum instead of glass, which makes the device look elegant and underscores the good construction work done by the company.
The camera's biometric sensor and physical shutter are positioned in their usual places, as is the camera slot. microSD, which offers memory expansion for up to 200GB. The maintenance of the design can be partly explained by actually resulting in a device that provides an anatomical and comfortable grip.
Fabric
One of the strengths of smartphones manufactured by Sony is the quality of your displays. the screen of Xperia X has resolution Full HD and has exclusive company technologies such as X-Reality Mobile, which performs a differentiated processing for the device's range of colors and contrast. the panel IPS LCD does beautiful with good viewing angles and balanced brightness.
Hardware, speed and performance
O Sony Xperia X comes equipped with a processor Snapdragon 650, 3 GB de RAM memory and has two versions: Single SIM com 32 GB (model that was tested) and dual SIM with 64 GB of internal storage (in both cases, expandable up to 200 GB via microSD), which in theory are more than adequate specifications for a pleasant experience.
A Qualcomm states that the Snapdragon 650 has similar performance to Snapdragon 810 (without the downside of overheating). THE performance of the system is good, with apps launching and loading quickly. However, the Xperia X it presents some problems when it is more demanding in terms of graphics or in some situations of multitasking. For everyday tasks, however, the device will not disappoint users.
O Xperia X still has an essential feature for today: the biometric sensor. The user can store up to five fingerprints on the device, which serve to unlock the device and authorize purchases on the Play Store. Recognition is really fast and accurate.
System
O Xperia X leaves the factory running the Android 6.0 Marshmallow and loads the customization layer of the Sony. Despite being a “purist” in terms of Android, I recognize that the Sony UI it's a cleaner and more organized interface than the ones used by most manufacturers that customize their operating systems.
In the new version present in the Xperia X There is a new standard for the system's native applications, such as phone and messaging. The software lock screen is quite different from the default Android, allowing the system to be unlocked from a swipe to the left.
To give it a more integrated look, the Sony paid a lot of attention to personalization, making the lock screen theme match the system contexts as well as the wallpaper.
Camera
Smartphones Sony always stand out for providing a superior experience in their cameras and with the Xperia X it was no different. the camera 23MP main captures images with balanced color and contrast. Lens stabilization is via software (not optical) and includes Predictive Hybrid Autofocus, which identifies the subject's next move before it occurs.
The aperture of the front sensor is f/2.0, which ensures better visibility in photos taken in lower light conditions. This makes the photos of the Xperia X be excellent in most possible scenarios. In addition, the company's unique Exmor sensor Sony It has a technology that reduces the time between the scene/object focus and the shot, making the camera the fastest on the market.
Already 13MP front camera it's great for selfies and also works great in most environments. The front sensor also has digital stabilization and the camera in question has a self-portrait mode that naturally smoothes the user's skin.
Battery
Good autonomy is one of the fundamental pillars of the Sony. The company's latest releases have always included batteries that on average last 2 days in conventional use. Naturally, the Xperia X maintains this standard of autonomy.
The device has a battery of 2.620 mAh, compatible with the quick recharge. The novelty is a new technology called Adaptive Charging, which makes the device's battery life preserved, even with intensive use of the turbo charge.
Conclusion

Whenever I review a gadget, I like to compare the manufacturer's proposal with what the device delivers. If we think that the proposal of the Sony includes "look ahead"And"see or real world", Or Xperia X cannot be considered the materialization of these concepts. Far from it, the device has few innovations and the only feature that really caught my attention was the camera speed.
In this sense, it does not seem to me that the Sony (or their consumers) can look ahead with so little news brought to the Xperia X. It's a good device, but it just repeats the same controversial pattern as its latest devices. When we think about seeing the real world, the proposal seems to have become even more distant, especially if we consider the Real 3.799 established as the suggested price for the device. In addition to being an unrealistic value for a (supposedly) intermediate device, it is even more disconnected from the current reality of the country. In this sense, a mistake that cannot be attributed only to Sony, but also to her.
