Is It Worth Its Price Tag?: Sony Xperia X Performance review

Sony Xperia X Performance review: The highlights

First of all in this Xperia X Performance review, let’s talk about the outstanding things about this USD 750 flagship! The phone comes with a great traditional Sony design! There’s no denying that it looks very premium to hold in hand. The back of the phone is covered with metal, which is one more bonus for this smartphone! Moreover, this Sony phone is quite slim and light-weight.
So that’s about the look, now let’s move on to the internals! The next thing to compliment in this Xperia X Performance review is the CPU. This phone comes with a quad-core processor clocked at 2.2GHz. Along with it is Snapdragon 820 chipset and 3GB RAM. This combination makes the phone perform really smooth and there’s absolutely no heating issue or lag even when we run multiple tasks at the same time!


The cameras of this flagship are also outstanding! We have a 23MP main snapper, which is equipped with alser autofocus technology! This technology allows the camera to take great pictures of moving object even in low-light conditions! The photos taken are truthful, detailed and natural-looking! Its brother on the front offers 13MP resolution! We actually don’t need a 13MP selfie but let’s consider this a great effort from the phone maker!

Sony Xperia X Performance review: The drawbacks

The biggest drawback in this Xperia X Performance is how expensive the phone is! A smartphone with such price tag is expected to have premium features like 4k video recording, fingerprint scanner or at least a great battery. But in fact, none of those is included in Sony Xperia X Performance! The battery of this phone is only 2700mAh, not to mention that it is non-removable! Such a let-down!
