what's up guys lon here from Android authority and we're taking a look at sony's new xperia x line here at Mobile World Congress 2016 so there are three devices here we have the xperia x performance xperia x and the xperia x a instead of the glass and metal designs of previous Sony phones the bodies of the new X line is constructed entirely of metal and it looks and feels quite nice but the overall design with the rectangular and somewhat boxy look is still very reminiscent of other Sony phones that we've seen in the past the Xperia X performance is the highest end model of the bunch it comes with the latest snapdragon 820 processor three gigs of ram a 1080p display on the front waterproofing capabilities and a fingerprint sensor embedded into the side mounted power key which we weren't able to test out because the demo units were pre-production but we assume it probably works just the same as the z5 premium there's a 13 megapixel camera on the front for all of yourself portraits and along the rear is a new 23 megapixel lens and it's a pretty familiar sony camera experience the one new feature that sony was touting was the hybrid autofocus which is supposed to do a really good job of tracking moving objects to prevent motion blur when snapping a photo but this is something we're going to have to test out later when we're not dealing with a prototype with unfinished hardware and software the Xperia X is identical to the X performance in a lot of ways but there are a few key differences it doesn't have the same brushed metal backing or waterproofing capabilities and you're getting a Qualcomm Snapdragon 650 processor instead but otherwise the majority of the specs like the 1080p display cameras and fingerprint sensor are pretty much all the same the Xperia XA is the mid-range model out of the bunch but it's probably the most eye-catching the 5-inch display on the front is only 720p but it runs edge to edge which really makes the phone stand out and the glass ever so slightly curves along the sides the rest of the specs are also fairly run-of-the-mill instead of a Snapdragon processor you're dealing with a media tech chipset 2 gigs of RAM 16 gigs of internal storage microSD card expansion a 2,300 milliamp hour battery in 8 megapixel camera on the front and a 13 megapixel camera on the rear they're all running on Android marshmallow with Sony's Xperia ion top which should be a familiar experience for any hardcore Sony user but one big change that you'll notice is it's a lot cleaner with flatter and more simplistic looking icons over the 3d ish looking ones of previous versions and overall it just blends in a lot better with the material design aspect of Android the Xperia X line will be available sometime this summer and that's about as specific as Sony is willing to get right now but we'll definitely keep you up-to-date on Android or 30.com this has been a quick first look and hands-on of the Xperia X line by Sony here at Mobile World Congress 2016 stay tuned for the rest of our coverage
