Pros & Cons
Pros
The design is sleek and modern, corners are round, not sharp, the back is a hard tactile plastic. The curved glass edges also adds to the premium look. Love the finger print reader also.
The snapdragon 650 hexacore is a bit of an older chip however performs admirably. Gaming is the primary task most folks are going to do that really pushes the cpu. Vellamo mobile benchmark 3 is a good benchmark.
Mp camera with 22mm wide-angle lense works quite well. No optical image stabilization, but the software stabilization seems to work pretty well. Camera has great motion compensation and takes very crisp photos.
Power button is large and easy to press. Single nano-sim and microsd tray is on the left. Great sound quality through headphone jack.
Full hd screen is beautiful, and very easy to read in direct sunlight. The screen shows a great picture which is very detalized and bright cause it has high pixels resolution. The 5” 1080p ips display on the xperia x looks excellent. Honestly, it’s ju... Read More
Cons
The screen is quite poor. The camera is sluggish. Updates are practically non-existent. It's only redeeming quality is the camera.
Highlights
Quality
Picture quality is by far none compared.
As with most sony phones, they have a good high-end quality appearance and feel.
With many cheaper ips panels, you really do notice lesser screen quality and poor black levels compared to the newer ips/oled displays.
That seems to be the norm with the latest high-end chips.
Price
Overall a very good mid range phone that's definitely worth the price is is now (still 300).
Shipping
The phone comes with a fast charging wall charger and it is quick.
As expected, you do have fast charging at your disposal.
Packaging/appearance
I've never had any issues with the internal storage or the 32g microsd card that i put in.
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.
Competitiveness
Beyond that, there is the usual micro-usb port at the bottom, headphone jack at the top, and volume/power/camera button all on the right.
Coming from a asus zenfone 2 laser, i am not disappointed with this phone.
* customization: compared to my zenfone, sony does not let you alter much.
At least you’ve got good stereo separation and still sounds decent.

Comes with a lot of apps that you probably wont ever use its a 32 gb phone so those apps dont take up too much space but if youre coming from a 128 or 64 gb phone it might bug you that these apps are taking up space
