What are the good phones Sony Xperia
- Stylish reliable housing
One of the most valuable benefits Sony Xperia is a durable and literally unspecified body. Most models can be successfully immersed to a depth of 0.5 to 1.5 meters. In addition, numerous drop tests demonstrate high resistance of phones to drops and other mechanical influences. And, of course, the Sony designers team made smartphones stylish and catchy. With such an accessory you will not be unnoticed.
- Excellent camera
High quality shooting - Sony Sound. Starting from the earliest models, each smartphone stands out among competitors with clear juicy shots with good color reproduction. Even among cameras with similar parameters of the Sony camera, all thanks to the Cyber-Shot and Handycam technologies, the Exmor RS ™ matrix and the ultra-fast processor of the Bionz ™ image processor.
- High sound quality
Sony Walkman technology once asked the vector in the development of all portable audio devices. Such a clean and deep sound, like Sony Xperia, and today not all the flagships of competitors can boast. Along with other advantages, there is a digital noise reduction technology here, thanks to which it can be without interference to enjoy your favorite tracks in a noisy subway or with a drill working behind the wall.

Appearance and ease of use
About the design of the device, you can say the following: When a quick look of the new Xperia X and XA series are practically different from previous models of generation Xperia Z. All branded distinctive features Saved, shapes and dimensions of the case similar, the angles are still quite a bit rounded in the plan, the buttons are placed on the usual places, to extract cards, it is still not a paper clip, because you are used to be used for Sony.
But they appeared, naturally, the differences. The same covers are now not suspended on rubber tails, as before. Now the sleds are attached directly to the lids, and pulling out such a plug, automatically pull out and clip with cards. Glasses on the front panels are no longer flat, they, according to modern fashion, got rounded edges and are called 2.5D-glasses. All of these moments make the use of new Sony smartphones slightly more comfortable. But the main thing is that Xperia X and other representatives of the new generation are now much more pleasant to lie in the hand, it is achieved due to a smoother transition between the side frame and the rounded edges of the glasses. The rear wall of the body is also a bit bended to the edges, so the edges of the side frame completely stopped felt and do not flow into the palm, as before.
Smartphone is thin and light, the dimensions are small - Sony decided this time to limit the majority of their models in five-lifted screens. Due to the matte, pleasant to the touch of the surfaces of the metal back wall and the side frame, the machine is securely held in the hand, does not seek to slip out and does not collect fingerprints. There is no effect of the skilled surface of Brushed Aluminium, like a more expensive model of Xperia X Performance, but on tactile sensations from contact with the surfaces of the case it is not negatively reflected. Xperia x is also nice to hold in the fingers, it is convenient to transfer clothes in your pockets, it is less slippery than the same iPhone 6, so, in principle, it does not require a cover.
Unlike cheaper models xperia series Xa, here the housing along with the rear wall is completely made of metal. The assembly of complaints does not cause, the monolithic case is assembled qualitatively, cracks and irregularities not to find.

On the front panel, fully covered with glass with sloping edges, the familiar set of elements is located: Sensors, front camera and Event LED. Also here you can find two stereo speakers placed in the frontal plane above and under the screen. The speakers are quite loud, it is randomly overlapping them both will be difficult, so it's not worthwning to skip the call signal for sure. The hardware control buttons under the screen, naturally, no, they have been virtual from Sony long ago.
The back side contains only a chamber window and not very bright single LED flash. The camera module does not repel out of the surface, so you can use the device with comfort, even when it lies on the table - there will be no smartphone.
Xperia X slot only one, it is dual, you can install two Nano-SIM SIM-SIM SIM cards or replace one of them on the MicroSD memory card. Sony moved away from practice to install three separate connector, limiting the hybrid option. In the case of 64 GB flash memory, however, MicroSD installation is not too relevant - memory is enough and so.
The mechanical buttons on the right side are not quite usually: the volume key is somehow lowered down the power button, it often goes under the fingers, is pressed when it is not necessary. Especially suffering in this situation left-handed. But on the spot the individual key for the camera. Buttons have a soft and spring stroke, easily groped, and if there were no uncomfortable layout, there would be no complaints about these elements.
The central flat-key power key is used to include a platform with a fingerprint scanner. The scanner works well enough and quickly, it is necessary to press the button for complete unlock, if the screen has not been activated before.

Micro-USB connector is located in the center nizhny Fork, Next to the hole of the spoken microphone. It supports connection third-party devices in uSB mode OTG (USB Host).
On the upper end, an audio part of the 3.5mm access to headphones and a second auxiliary microphone for noise reduction are installed.
Unlike Xperia X Performance, the hero of the review did not receive protection against water and dust. Sony X Performance is now the only water-proof model in the new generation of Sony smartphones. To our surprise, the mount for the strap on the housing disappeared.
As for the colors of the case, then the buyer is provided to choose from four colors: white, black (graphite black), lemon (golden lime) and copper-pink ( pink gold) These colors will be present in one way or another in all modern Sony models.
Screen
Smartphone equipped touch screen IPS with trendy 25d glass with sloping edges. The physical dimensions of the display are 62 × 110 mm, diagonal - 5 inches. Screen resolution is 1920 × 1080, the density of the points is 441 PPI. The frame around the screen in Xperia X, unlike the XA series models, is quite standard: just under 4 mm on sides and 16 mm on top and bottom.
The display brightness has automatic adjustment based on the lighting sensor. There is also an approximation sensor that blocks the screen when making a smartphone to the ear. Multitouch technology allows you to handle 10 simultaneous touches. You can activate the screen using a double tapping on the glass. After that, it is enough to make a finger to the print scanner, press the power button is not necessary. Supported work with the screen in gloves.

Detailed examination using measuring instruments He conducted the editor of the "Monitors" and "Projectors and TV" sections, Alexey Kudryavtsev. We present his expert opinion on the screen of the sample under study.
The front surface of the screen is made in the form of a glass plate with a mirror-smooth surface resistant to the appearance of scratches. Judging by the reflection of objects, the anti-reflective screen properties of the screen is better than the Google Nexus 7 (2013) screen (hereinafter just Nexus 7). For clarity, we give a photo on which a white surface is reflected in the screens of both devices (Sony Xperia X, as it is not difficult to determine, on the right, then they can be distinguished by size):
Both screens are dark, but the Sony screen is still darker (its brightness in photography is 98 against 112 at Nexus 7). Multi-reflected objects in screen Sony Xperia X is very weak, it suggests that between the outer glass (it is a touch sensor) and the surface of the matrix there is no air gap (OGS-One Glass Solution type screen). Due to the smaller number of boundaries (type of glass / air) with highly different refractive facilities, such screens look better with a strong external illumination, but their repair in the event of a cracked exterior glass costs much more expensive, as it is necessary to change the entire screen. On the outer surface of the screen there is a special oleophobic (fat-repellent) coating (very effective, even better than Nexus 7), so traces from fingers are removed significantly easier, and appear at a lower rate than in the case of conventional glass.
For manual control The brightness and in the output of the white field into full screen, its maximum value was about 570 kD / m², and the minimum is 5.3 kD / m². The maximum value is very high, and considering excellent anti-reflective properties, with bright daylight And even on the straight sun, the image on the screen should be well distinguishable. In complete darkness, brightness can be reduced to a comfortable level. Works automatic adjustment Brightness over the illumination sensor (it is the right door of the front loudspeaker). In automatic mode, when changing external light conditions, the screen brightness is rising, and decreases. The operation of this function depends on the provision of brightness adjustment, the user can try to set the desired brightness level under current conditions. If, in the conditions of the office, the brightness slider is derived to maximum, then in complete darkness, the auturance function reduces the brightness of up to 4.8 kD / m² (dark), in conditions of an artificial light of an office (approximately 400 LCs) sets 550 kD / m² (excessively bright) , in a very bright environment (corresponds to a clear day outdoor lighting, but without direct sunlight - 20,000 LCs or a little more) increases to 560 cd / m² (this is sufficient). If everything is also in the office of the brightness slider on the half of the scale, the screen brightness for the three conditions indicated above, as follows: 4.8, 240 and 560 kD / m² (the first value is low, the second is high). If the brightness controller is set to minimum - 4.8, 4.8, 60 cd / m² (all values \u200b\u200bare too low). Our attempts to achieve the result from this function, they were not crowned with success, even if in the dark slightly increase the brightness to an acceptable level, then it is still dumped down, and the screen becomes too dark. But it is likely that other users will have a different opinion. Only at a very low level of brightness, a significant illumination modulation appears, but its frequency is high, about 2.3 kHz, therefore there is no visible flickering of the screen (but may be detected in the test for the presence of a stroboscopic effect).
This screen uses an IPS type matrix. Micrographs demonstrate a typical structure of subpixels for IPS:
For comparison, you can familiarize yourself with the micrographic gallery of the screens used in mobile technology.
The screen has good viewing angles without inverting the shades and without a significant shift of colors, even at large viewing deviations from perpendicular to the screen. To compare, we give a photo on which the same images are displayed on the Nexus 7 and Sony Xperia X screens, while the brightness of the screens is initially installed about 200 kD / m² (on the white field in full screen), and the color balance on the camera is forcibly switched to 6500 to the camera . Perpendicular to the plane screens White field:
Note good uniformity of brightness and color tone of the white field. And test picture:
The colors on the Sony Xperia X screen are oversaturated, bodily shades are strongly shifted into the red area, and the color balance is noticeably different from the standard one. Of course, it is necessary to evaluate the color reproduction of the screen by photography with great care, but the trend is transmitted correctly. Now at an angle of about 45 degrees to the plane and to the side of the screen:
It can be seen that the colors did not change much from both screens, and the Sony Xperia X has decreased non-essential. And white field:
The brightness at an angle from both screens has decreased noticeably, but in the case of Sony Xperia X, the brightness drop is much smaller. The black field during the deviation on the diagonal is highlighted in moderately and acquires a red-purple shade. The photos below are demonstrated (the brightness of white areas in the perpendicular plane of the screens direction at the screens of the same!):
And at a different angle:
With perpendicular view, the uniformity of the black field is good:
Contrast (approximately in the center of the screen) high - about 1100: 1. Response time when switching black-white-black is 27 ms (15 ms incl. + 12 ms off.). The transition between halftons of gray 25% and 75% (according to the numerical color value) and back in sum occupies 47 ms. Constructed by 32 points with an equal interval in the numerical value of the shade of a gray gamma curve did not reveal the bore in the lights, nor in the shadows, and the indicator of the approximating power function turned out to be 2.18, which is close to the standard value 2.2. At the same time, the real gamma curve deviates little from power dependence:
Dynamic adjustment of the brightness of the backlight in accordance with the nature of the displayed image in this case we did not find that very good.
Color coverage is wider than SRGB:
We look at the spectra:
They are very atypical for top mobile sony devices. Apparently, the LEDs with a blue emitter and green and red phosphor are used in this screen (usually a blue emitter and yellow phosphor), which, in combination with special matrix light filters and allows you to get a wide color coverage. Yes, and in the Red Luminofore, apparently, the so-called quantum dots are used. Unfortunately, as a result, colors of images - drawings, photos and films, - SRGB-oriented space (and such an overwhelming majority), have unnatural saturation. This is especially noticeable on recognizable shades, for example on skin shades. The result is shown in the photo above.
The balance of shades on the gray medium scale, since the color temperature is strongly higher than the standard 6500 K, but at least a deviation from the spectrum of absolutely black body (ΔE) less than 10 units, which is considered an acceptable indicator for the consumer device. In this case, the variation of the color temperature and Δe is not very big - this has a positive effect on the visual assessment of the color balance. (Dark areas of the gray scale can not be considered, since there the balance of colors does not matter, and the measurement error of the color characteristics on the low brightness is large.)
In this smartphone, there is an opportunity to adjust the color balance by adjustments by the intensities of the three main colors.
What we tried to do, the result is the data signed as Corr. on schedules above. As a result, we corrected the color temperature, and even Δe on average has become lower. However, the brightness (as well as contrast) has decreased strongly - from 540 to 415 kD / m². Sensitivity of colors This correction, of course, has not reduced. Slightly helps the inclusion of corporate regime X-REALITY FOR MOBILE. The result is below:
Excessive bright colors Slightly muffled, although not enough. There are extremal SUPER-VIVID MODEin which, on the contrary, the color contrast increases even more. That's what we got:
Let's summarize. The brightness adjustment range of this screen is very wide, anti-glare properties are excellent, which makes it possible to use the smartphone as a sunny day on the beach and in complete darkness. It is permissible to use the mode with the automatic adjustment of the brightness, although from our point of view it works not entirely adequately. The advantages also include a very effective oleophobic coating, no air gap in the layers of screen and flicker, high contrast, which is not much reduced even when viewed at an angle to the plane of the screen, and good uniform of the black field. The disadvantages are overswitched colors (skin shades are especially affected) and the average color balance. The presence of the corresponding adjustments allow the balance slightly to correct, but due to a very strong decrease in brightness (and contrast). However, taking into account the importance of the characteristics for this class of devices (and the most important thing is the distinguishability of information in a wide range of external conditions), the screen quality can be considered high.
Sound
Xperia X sounds more interesting than, for example, the same LG G5 SE: the entire spectrum of frequencies is clearly traced and when the main dynamics is working, and in headphones. The sound is bright, saturated, clean and quite loud - here two speakers are used, placed on top and bottom on the front panel and supporting the S-Force Front Surround S-Force Front Surround. Separate tools can be distinguished, the rear plans do not merge. Basins may not be lacking, but in general, the sound of Xperia X is still at the level much higher than the average.
To play musical compositions, the device uses your own player with a familiar set of settings: the user has traditionally been given a choice between manual adjustment and automatic optimization of all parameters of the sound using the Clearaudio + complex function. It includes a lot of various technologies, you can read more about this on the ongoing technologies applied in all modern top smartphones manufacturer.
TO conversational speaker and the microphone claims are also not: intonation and the timbre of a familiar voice remain recognizable foreign noise There is practically no, the sound is thick, saturated and completely not deaf. It does not appeal to the sensitivity of microphones, the sound via the voice recorder is written clean and clearly distinguish with the playback, the noise reduction system with its tasks is applied adequately.
FM radio in the smartphone is available, but the automatic recording of telephone conversations from the line with full-time not provided.

Camera
The new representative of the Sony Xperia family is equipped with all the same familiar two modules of chambers 23 and 13 Mp. The front camera has a 13 megapixel sensor with 1/3-inch Exmor RS matrix for mobile devices and a 22-millimeter wide-angle lens with a diaphragm F / 2.0 without autofocus and its own flash. Here, as for the main chamber, supported by a stabilization of the Steadyshot video stabilization technology with a smart active mode. The maximum sensitivity is ISO 6400. And with a photo, and with video filming, the front camera copes very worthily, the best for selfie and want to desire. Below are photos and video taken on frontal chamber Sony Xperia X.
- Roller №1 (15 MB, 1920 × 1080 @ 30 fps)

The main chamber is equipped with a 23 megapixel 1 / 2.3-inch Exmor RS matrix for mobile devices and a 24-mm LENS wide-angle lens with a diaphragm F / 2.0 with an intelligent hybrid autofocus and a pulsed LED flash. The maximum sensitivity is ISO 12800.
All new smartphones received, as before, stabilize Steadyshot with an Intelligent Active Mode mode, providing smooth shooting without distortion. And of course, you should not forget that Sony is almost the only manufacturer who still sets into its smartphones a separate hardware camera control button.
IN manual mode Shooting control can be set ISO, white balance, change focus type. There is a five-time digital zoom, carried out using the Clear Image scaling technology.
Among the settings, you can traditionally find several additional modes, such as panoramic. Among them are also entertaining, such as a familiar mode of augmented reality called AR EFFECT, which makes it possible to combine real pictures with animation. Recently, the choice of options for AR has been significantly expanded. Part of the shooting settings can be transmitted to control third-party applications Through the Camera2 API, the RAW entry is not supported.

The video camera is completely unexpectedly not able to shoot in 4K, here the maximum resolution is 1920 × 1080 - however, you can remove with a speed of 60 fps. The work of the Steadyshot stabilization function is well tangible when shooting on the go, the image really becomes smooth. With the shooting of the video, the camera copes in general very worthy: the image is sharp, light, without noticeable artifacts, with good color reproduction. The sound is also recorded qualitatively, the noise reduction system, even with wind noise, copes adequately.

You can immediately conclude that, compared with the precursor models, the camera practically did not grow. There is nothing terrible in it, because the previous camera was very good. But the former flaws did not go anywhere. Despite the fact that Sony has long positioned their chamber as a 23 megapixel, it is still adequately working only in 8 megapixel mode. There are also good grouping / compression algorithms, and a slightly smaller useful sensor area. Apparently, the sensor of such sizes completely worked at such a small distance to the lens interferes with elementary geometry, so the resulting picture has to stretch over the corners to fill the required rectangle. As a result, the monstrous distortion "smeared" in all corners, and the program is trying to hide it hard, and eventually the corners of the frame on full-size images are absolutely non-working - so much that we abandoned the idea to give the permissions in them on the chart. In this case, the permission in the center is quite good, and in the case of 8 megapixel - and not at all. In addition, when recalculating pictures in 8 MP, many defects are due, including noise. Thus, if we consider the chamber as 8 megapixel, it can be concluded that it will perfectly cope with many different scenarios. To regime 23 MP, it is necessary to resort only if it is necessary if you need to capture some documentary parts in the central part of the frame.
Telephone part and communication
The smartphone operates in most ranges of 2G GSM networks, 3G WCDMA and LTE FDD and TDD. The SOC SNAPDRAGON 650 used here has a built-in modem X8 LTE that supports loading speed up to 300 Mbps and transfer rates up to 100 Mbps. The smartphone supports all three most common LTE FDD (B3, B7, and B20) range in domestic operators, but can also function in LTE TDD 38-40 bands. Speed \u200b\u200bof the connection in 4G networks and work with cellular networks In general, Sony Xperia X does not cause complaints: the smartphone instantly reuses after a break, does not lose touch in the zones of uncertain reception, it gives the highest high speed in 4G in check locations where competitors demonstrate much Worst results. In terms of communication capabilities at the hero of the review, everything is at the height.
Also in the device there is support for Bluetooth 4.2, NFC, two Wi-Fi ranges are supported (2.4 and 5 GHz) MU-MIMO, Wi-Fi Direct, Wi-Fi Display, you can organize a wireless access point via Wi-Fi channels or Bluetooth . The Micro-USB connector supports USB 2.0 specification and connect external devices in USB OTG mode. The NFC module demonstrates compatibility with the Mifare Classic protocol needed to successfully work the application "with a tripler transport card.
The navigation module works with GPS (A-GPS), GLONASS and Chinese Beidou. To the speed of the navigation module, there are no complaints, the first satellites are detected at a cold start during the first seconds. The smartphone is equipped with a magnetic field sensor based on which the compass navigation software is functioning.
The smartphone provides work with two SIM cards according to Dual Sim Dual Standby. The radio modulus is one here, so the active conversation can be only one. With 3G / 4G networks, a SIM card can work in any slot, but at the same time in this mode only one of the cards can work (the second will only work in 2G). Choosing between two SIM cards for calling, sending SMS, etc. You can implement in advance or immediately before the call.

OS and Software
Here some particularly notable changes did not happen. Xperia X is based on the Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow platform, the sixth version of Android has already been running on the previous models of the Xperia Z5 series. For the most part, only an external representation has changed: the icons are completely redrawn, for each colors of the case, the own theme is installed with a similar colorful color. At the same time, the internal structure, the location of the menu sections, the organization of desktops, etc. - everything remains the same.

Performance
The Sony Xperia X hardware platform is based on a new 6-nuclear Soc Qualcomm Snapdragon 650 (previously appearing called Snapdragon 618). This SOC is made on not the most advanced 28 nanometer technology. Unlike its more advanced sister, the 8-nuclear Snapdragon 652 installed in the LG G5 SE smartphone level, 6 cores are used here. The composition of SOC includes only two productive Arm Cortex-A72 cores with a frequency of up to 1.8 GHz and four Cortex-A53 with a frequency of up to 1.4 GHz. The processing of graphics in SOC answers the ADRENO 510 video screen with a working frequency of up to 600 MHz.
The amount of smartphone memory is 3 GB, the volume of the built-in flash memory is 32 or 64 GB. The user of 64 GB is initially available 48.6 GB of free space. This volume can be increased by microSD cards, but then one of the SIM cards will have to withdraw. It is also possible to connect external flash drives to the USB port in OTG mode. MicroSD cards are supported by a capacity of up to 200 GB, in practice our TRANSCEND Premium MicroSDXC UHS-1 checkout of 128 GB is confidently recognized by the device.

If you judge from the popular integrated antutu test, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 650 platform is located in modern standards in the middle segment, in no way in the top. There ruled flagships with resulting numbers from 90K to 130k points and higher, while the hero of the review is gaining only 75K in Antutu 6. In graphic tests, the gap is also there, but it is far from not so noticeable. In comparison with the related Snapdragon 652 (on the example of the LG G5 SE), we did not find a special difference, but this can be written off to twice the highest resolution of the Korean smartphone, which could partly level the superiority of the older platform in some tests.
Testing in the latest versions of Antutu and Geekbench 3 complex tests:
All the results obtained by us when testing the smartphone in the most recent versions of popular benchmarks, we are conveniently reduced to the table. The table usually adds several other devices from various segments, also tested on similar recent versions of benchmarks (this is done only for a visual assessment of the resulting dry numbers). Unfortunately, within the framework of the same comparison, it is impossible to submit results from different versions of the benchmarks, so "for the scenes" there are many decent and actual models - due to the fact that they at one time passed the "obstacles' band" on previous versions of test programs.

Testing a graphic subsystem in 3DMark game tests, GFXBENCHMARK and Bonsai Benchmark:
When testing in 3DMark for the most productive smartphones now it is possible to run the application in Unlimited mode, where the resolution of the rendering is fixed to 720p and is turned off by VSYNC (due to which the speed can rise above 60 FPS).

Browser cross-platform tests:
As for the benchmarks to estimate the speed of the JavaScript engine, it is necessary to always make a discount on the fact that they are significantly dependent on the browser in them, in which the comparison can be truly correct only on the same OS and browsers, and such an opportunity is available when testing not always. In the case of Android OS, we always try to use Google Chrome.
Heatons
Below is the back of the back surface, obtained after 10 minutes of the battery test operation in the GFXBenchmark program (the better, the higher the temperature):
Heating is slightly lonocated at the top of the device. At the same time, a large area with about the same temperature suggests that the housing well distributes heat from heating components. According to the heat frame, the maximum heating was only 36 degrees (at an ambient temperature of 24 degrees), this is relatively few.
Video playback
To test "omnivities" when playing video (including support for various codecs, containers and special capabilities, such as subtitles), we used the most common formats that constitute the bulk of the content available on the content network. Note that for mobile devices it is important to have the support of hardware decoding of videos at the chip level, since to process modern options due to the processor nuclei are most often impossible. Also, it is not necessary to wait from the mobile device of decoding everything, since the leadership in flexibility belongs to PC, and no one is going to challenge it. All results are reduced to a single table.
According to test results, the subject did not turn out to be equipped with all the necessary decoders, which are needed to fully play most of the most common multimedia files in this case, sound. To successfully play their playback, you will have to resort to the help of a third-party player - for example, MX Player. True, it is necessary to change the settings and manually set additional custom codecs, because now this player does not officially support AC3 sound format.
| Format | Container, video, sound | MX Video Player. | Full video player |
| BDRip 720p. | MKV, H.264 1280 × 720, 24 FPS, AAC | reproduces normal | reproduces normal |
| BDRip 720p. | MKV, H.264 1280 × 720, 24 FPS, AC3 | video is reproduced normally, no sound | |

| BDRip 1080p. | MKV, H.264 1920 × 1080, 24 FPS, AC3 | video is reproduced normally, no sound | video is reproduced normally, no sound |
Further testing of video playback performed Alexey Kudryavtsev.
The MHL interface, like the Mobility Displayport, we did not find it in this smartphone, so I had to restrict ourselves to testing the image of the video files to the screen itself. To do this, we used a set of test files with one division per frame with an arrow and a rectangle (see "Methods for testing the playback devices and displaying the video signal. Version 1 (for mobile devices) 720/24p
Note: If in both columns Uniformity and Pass Green estimates are exhibited, it means that, most likely, when viewing the films of artifacts caused by uneven alternation and passage of frames, or will not be seen at all, or their number and notice will not affect the preservation of viewing. Red marks indicate possible problems associated with playing relevant files.
According to the frame output criterion, the quality of the video files on the screen of the smartphone itself is good, since frames (or frames of frames) can (but not obliged) to be displayed with more or less uniform intervals and without frames - with the exception of files from 60 frames / s, in The case of which is about two frames per second is skipped. The reason in the atypical frequency of the screen update is approximately 58 Hz. When playing video files with a resolution of 1920 to 1080 pixels (1080p), the image of the video file is displayed one-in-one via pixels, exactly along the border of the screen and in the true resolution of Full HD. The brightness range appears on the screen corresponds to the standard range of 16-235: in the shadows and in the lights are displayed all gradations of shades.
Battery life
The capacitance of the fixed battery installed in Sony Xperia X is not so large according to modern standards of 2620 mA · h. However, the device demonstrates surprisingly a high level of autonomous work in all standard tests and in real life scenarios. The smartphone is really capable even with active use to hold out two days, and this can not but rejoice.
In addition, it is worth mentioning the QNOVO Adaptive CHARGING used in the new Sony smartphones, which monitors the battery status when charging. This "smart" technology tracks and analyzes the cycles and their schedule, independently adjusting the charging current. For example, if the program understands that the smartphone has been familiar to charging for a long time (let's say, overnight), it reduces the current, allowing the battery to be charged in a more gentle mode.

Testing, as usual, was carried out without the use of any energy saving functions, although the device has familiar Stamina and Ultra Stamina modes.

Uninterrupted reading in the Moon + Reader program (with a standard, bright theme, with autolist) with a minimum comfortable level of brightness (the brightness was set to 100 cd / m²) lasted to a complete discharge for more than 15.5 hours. When you continuously view video from YouTube in high quality (720p) with the same level of brightness through the home network Wi-Fi, the device lasted at least 9 hours, which is not so much. In the mode of 3D games, the smartphone confidently operates 5.5 hours.
Unfortunately, the test copy arrived to us for testing without a complete charger, and it is sad because your smartphone should be charged faster. Sony Xperia X supports Qualcomm Quick CHARGE 2.0 technology. From an ordinary third-party network adapter with a maximum output current 2 A, the device is charged approximately for 2 hours 20 minutes by a current of 1.5 A. Wireless charging device does not support.
Outcome
Xperia X is the first model from the new Sony smartphones family, officially enrolled in the sale in the Russian retail. Such a device is estimated in modifications with one SIM-card of 40 thousand rubles, and with two - in 41 thousand. Xperia X is a well-known brand smartphone with high-quality screen, sound system, hardware platform, communication capabilities, high levels of autonomy, excellent ergonomics and recognizable appearance, due to which many fans continue to treat love and respect for products of the Japanese company . Most of the minuses characteristic of Sony smartphones in the past (not always high-quality displays, for example), are gradually corrected, it is now practically nothing to complain. From the shortcomings of the novelty, it is possible to note only the disappeared protection against water, but in reality, most users it turns out to be without necessary, and those who are really needed to protect, can always pay their eyes to the top model in the line - Xperia X Performance.
Sony is a name with a capital letter. This is a company with a huge history and rich traditions. Not so long ago, the company received at his disposal a mobile division, which had previously been the place and for Ericsson. Today, Sony costs without intermediaries and produces powerful smartphones, tablets and even in the Smarts market, the company also managed to show something.
Permanent growth in the performance of modern smartphones, which almost equal to this indicator with computers, is the main reason why their autonomy leaves much to be desired. Today it is considered a good result if the device extended at least to the evening, and not demanded the recharge after lunch. In such conditions, when users are forced to connect to the outlet at any opportunity, it is especially unpleasant to find out that some manufacturers exaggerate the real autonomy performance of their devices.
Sometimes it is difficult to explain the logic of smartphone manufacturers when they introduce something new to their devices. An example of such an introduction is the aspect ratio of 21: 9 in the new Sony line. Multiple weeks are enough to tell us in detail how convenient it is.
The definition of a compact smartphone has changed a lot over the past 18 months, since the smartphone industry has moved to higher diagonals of displays. One way to which manufacturers save the size of smartphones is to reduce the frames while maintaining the compact size of the smartphone itself, and that is why Samsung has Galaxy S10E in the new flagship flagship. It is great for use by one hand, but at the same time has a very large display.
On our site and YouTube Channel, we often talk about updates from the company, and almost always it causes hot spores between opponents and supporters of the brand. As practice has shown, the latter always turns out to be more. It is only more interesting to talk about new Japanese smartphones. Moreover, they often give reason to do it. For example, this time they submitted three new items at once, which in some way can be called icons.
Screens over the years are becoming increasingly elongated and now change the length of the display, we do not perceive with such great surprise as before. It is enough to recall the evolution from the 4S model to the iPhone 5. Then the changed aspect ratio and such an unusual stretched display seemed some strange and dubious decision. The smartphone seemed long and clumsy. Now everything has changed and the aspect ratio of the display of 16: 9 (2: 1) seems to be something completely familiar.
What we did without aliexpress. This is a unique platform where you can find many interesting smartphones. Old flagships are the most curious products of this site. Is it possible to buy a decent phone, having only 5-10 thousand rubles with you? Yes, you can. In this article we will look at some interesting options.
The closer any large exhibition is the more rumors, leaks and interesting details about future novelties appear. This time I received information about the fresh smartphone from Sony from the Xperia line. If you believe the received data, now the Japanese company is working on the new one in the face
Over half of 2017, Sony Mobile managed to release a whole bunch of smartphones. But which of these are the most relevant to buy? And is it worth choosing only from new products, maybe "old people" from 2016 are still suitable for something? Learn in this post!
This top was created solely according to the author and the main criteria are the price / quality / relevance of the gadget. All prices are relevant at the time of 19.06.2017.
