Sony Xperia X & X Performance hands-on: is there still hope?

2016-02-22
Sonne took everybody by surprise this morning here in Barcelona when they announced their new lineup of Xperia cons the Xperia X's there are three in the lineup we only have two here on display in Barcelona and we're going to take a closer look at both of them right now if you're not able of telling these two apart you are not the only ones I've been told that the Xperia X performance is the one that has the larger century and hence this is the X performance this is the X they have specs which are common to both and if you look at them closely they look identical give or take a millimeter and measurement sony has a new design philosophy we're not pretty sure where Sony wants to position its X lineup especially granted that the X performance outclassed is the Xperia z5 premium and specification so we'll take a look at this at this a little bit later walking around the device you'll see the same button layout with the power button with the embedded fingerprint scanner on the side volume rockers dedicated camera key the camera is on the back it's a new camera we'll talk about those just in a minute and the glass is a little bit curved on the front facia of the phone and the aluminum because it's no longer glass on the back is also a little bit curved sony says it's more ergonomically and I'll give you this much it feels better in hand because you don't have those rough edges anymore waterproofing is not in that as a feature which is unique to the Xperia Z class phones the z5 s and the following phones but I'll give you that they look good they're new it's a little bit step away from their current design philosophy but not such a huge leap you're still instantly recognize this as a Sony smartphone let's get into the details with the Xperia Z performance we got a 5-inch screen which is a full HD display same as on all three of the phones in the ex class except for the x8 which has a 720p screen these two have 1080p displays we've got a snapdragon 820 processor which is powering the xperia x performance it's the same processor that is powering the LG g5 and some versions of the upcoming galaxy s7 is a snappy processor it's paired with three gigabytes of RAM of course going through the menu is fluid but we'll have to test in depth just to see the endurance and the long term performance 32 gigabytes of storage are onboard of course expandable via microSD card slot and the camera on the back is a 23 megapixel camera with a new sensor which allows opposed to the z5 s z5 premium which had phase detection autofocus this is a new hybrid autofocus system as this were at the back behind the aluminum there's a twenty seven hundred million power battery and sony has a brand new implementation of its own battery performance and stamina features which were great on previous iterations as well but this phone will have awesome endurance putting away the X performance for a bit we're looking at the X which is the phone situated in the middle of its x-class same 5-inch display same Poe HD resolution this time powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 650 processor same amount of three gigabytes of RAM but storage options will defer we will have either 32 gigabytes of storage options or 32 and/or 64 for the dual SIM variant of course all of these will be expandable via microSD card camera is the same 23 megapixel sensor with the improved hybrid autofocus system and the battery is a little bit smaller at 26 20 milliamp hours of course this is not such a power-hungry processor whether the decision to come up with a completely new family of products is a good or a bad one it's up for you and the market to decide we are waiting for these phones to and in our labs or our usual review treatment and after that we will tell you whether these are worth purchasing or not until then I have an answer denied coming to you from Barcelona thank you very much for watching you know the drill subscribe everywhere to not miss a beat see you in the next video
