For the first time, Sony has revealed a new line of phone review blog Sony Xperia X in Barcelona at MWC exhibition 2016. Today we tell about the first representative of the line, which replaced the flagship model of the Z-series.
APPEARANCE
If the vast majority of phone manufacturers change the design of their creations every year, the Sony is not one of them. Initially, this strategy seemed wrong, but now, perhaps it makes sense, because some devices, even of different manufacturers are similar to each other as twin brothers. At the same time, phone review blog Sony Xperia X is very similar to the previous line of the device Z, which is why it is difficult to identify.
We were on the test unit came in the color Lime Gold, but there are also versions in color White, Graphite Black, and Rose Gold. Subjectively, the color Lime Gold interesting and even unusual. In this case, it is not a female.
The front panel is covered with a rounded protective glass, so-called 2,5D. At the top is the front camera lens, speaker, LED missed events and proximity sensors and lighting. Below only the second speaker. Sidewall covers the metal frame, painted in body color. How durable will paint can only guess.
Power key with the fingerprint scanner, volume rocker, and a two-position camera button are on the right side wall. On the left – only a slot for either two nanoSIM format of SIM-cards or one nanoSIM card and microSD memory card. Top – 3.5mm and an additional microphone, and bottom – the main microphone and microUSB port.
The back side of the phone review blog Sony Xperia X is covered by a thin metal cover, which is painted matt paint. In the upper left corner of the main lens is the 23-megapixel camera, which is a bit sticks out above the surface. Under camera located single LED flash.
Recently, with the ergonomics of the Sony smartphone does not add up. Dimensions five-inch phone review blog Sony Xperia X can not be considered minimal. But most of the comments are not caused by the dimensions and location of mechanical keys, especially the volume keys. It is so low that we have to get used so keep the phone in his hand. Fingerprint sensor works instantly. False positives are practically no.
DISPLAY
The phone review blog Sony Xperia X is equipped with a five-inch IPS screen with a resolution of Full HD. Safety glass copes with his work. During the week of testing scratches on it not appear. Even on a sunny day to discern the information on the display will not be difficult.
Oleophobic coating is excellent. Automatic brightness control operates in a predictable and smooth.
Brightness varies from 4.4 to 484 cd / m². Kontrasnot 1 to 950. The color gamut is much wider than the sRGB triangle and looking at it right away and do not say that this is the result of IPS screen rather than Super AMOLED. Higher than the reference temperature, making images on the screen colder than necessary. Gamma curve is very close to the reference values. Compared with previous generations of the display Sony Xperia X can be called modern. Immediately noticeable high contrast and saturation of the image.
For those who want to customize the screen by itself, there are two points in the display settings – improving the image and white balance. In the first, there are three preset settings that will improve the image.
HARDWARE PLATFORM
At this stage of development, the pursuit of the phone’s most powerful processor is not interested in all the users, because even the old “stones” to cope with contemporary challenges. In our case, we have a six-core processor Qualcomm Snapdragon 650 (MSM8956), which consists of four Cortex-A53 cores with a frequency of 1.4 GHz and two cores Cortex-A72 with 1.8 GHz. The nuclei Cortex-A72 included in the work only under high load. The processor is built on 28-nanometer process technology. As an Adreno 510 graphics accelerator is used.
RAM – 3 GB, while after the user can use 1.1 GB. The built-in storage capacity of 64 GB, but the user can use a total of 48 GB. Do not forget about the possibility of installing a memory card of up to 256 GB.
If we talk about the results of synthetic tests, they are expected not very high and far from Qualcomm Snapdragon processor 820. In this case, productivity is higher than the Qualcomm Snapdragon 808, which is not bad.
Although the average level of the processor, the phone review blog Sony Xperia X cope with any game. In this heat, though present, but not strong. The game Need for Speed: No Limits has not seen a single lag.
The two multimedia phone review blog Sony Xperia X speaker is set, are spaced apart at opposite ends of the front panel. This achieves a small surround effect. The sound quality is good. To strike a balance between low and high, frequencies. At maximum volume, there is no distortion and wheezing. Microphone quality is also excellent. Neither I nor my interlocutors did not complain.
Working with two SIM-carats realized in a conventional manner. In the settings you can choose with what cards will make calls and transfer data. It is important to remember that we have a version of the F5122, which is equipped with a built-in storage to 64GB and two SIM-cards, but there is still a version of the F5121, which drive only 32 GB and a slot on only one SIM-card.
Among wireless interfaces have Wi-Fi support for the standard ac, GPS (A-GPS, GLONASS), NFC and Bluetooth 4.2. All of the above works fine. Do not forget to support the FM-radio, which recently rapidly away from smartphones.
THE OPERATING SYSTEM SHELL
Review Hero running Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow and its own shell. With each generation of smartphones Sony interface changes, but the changes are cosmetic so that sometimes you need to take the trouble to find them.
This time, they touched updated, stylized Android Marshmallow, status bar, with new icons of battery capacity and the availability of search applications. Changed animation interface that subjectively markedly increased in smoothness. At the same time, it works even in third-party applications, which is why it seems that everything works much faster than it actually is.
Appeared point “home screen options.” It can be enabled automatically turn on the home screen, change the icon size, choose another icon, choose effects scrolling windows and activate the screen off by double-tapu.
AUTONOMY
The built-in battery capacity of the phone review blog Sony Xperia X features is 2620 mAh, which is frankly not enough, by modern standards. Because of this, it was expected that the phone will be creaking live up to the end of the daylight hours, but fortunately, everything turned out quite differently.
Even with the heavy use of social networking sites, 42 minutes of talk time, always-on Wi-Fi, 3G Internet the active screen was 4 hours 30 minutes, and the total time – hours on a single charge. On the second day I was more keen games and almost all other things being equal, while the screen was already 3 hours 30 minutes and virtually total, time 22 hours. At the same time I did not use proprietary STAMINA power saving mode.
The synthetic test PCMark battery at equal to 200 cd / m² brightness of the screen (53%), the device lasted 8:00 19 minutes, which is a very good result. As a result, we get autonomy at the level of one day when working, even though the small battery capacity. Supports Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 fast charging.
CAMERA
In the role of the main camera of the phone review blog Sony Xperia X specs is used 23-megapixel sensor IMX300 with wide-angle G Lens with aperture f2.0. There SteadyShot stabilization technology. The front camera is much easier in terms of technology – 13 megapixel sensor with a wide-angle lens and aperture of f2.0.
The app “Camera” left no visible changes. All also need to turn on HDR to enter the settings, which is very inconvenient.
The presence of a mechanical shutter key has greatly simplified the process of shooting. By the way, the Sony says it takes just 0.6 seconds to switch your phone from standby mode to shooting mode. The shooting speed is also very high, but the pictures are saved slowly.
Despite the most advanced optics photo quality falls short of the Samsung flagship. Largely due to not the best post-processing. Even in good light pictures are noisy. In many ways this can be avoided if the pictures do not increase to 100%, but it does not solve the problem. At night and did things get bad. With all due respect to Sony, by night photo should be abandoned.
The front camera selfie lovers. It copes with its responsibilities.
Shooting video is available in Full HD resolution at 60 fps. Due to optical image stabilization, you can shoot video on the go, and the picture is almost immovable.
PROS: HIGH-QUALITY HOUSING; VIDEO RECORDING; AUTONOMY; PERFORMANCE; FRONT-CAMERA; SMOOTH INTERFACE
CONS: NO INFRARED PORT; QUALITY PHOTOS IN THE DARK; NOT THE BEST VALUE FOR MONEY
CONCLUSION
The phone review blog Sony Xperia X – the almost flagship. Compared with the previous generation of the screen is a better, increased autonomy, and the build quality is improved. But not everyone was able to fix it. In the presence of advanced optics, the camera still manages to do is not the best photos. This is especially noticeable in the pictures in the dark. If you’re not interested, “parrots” in benchmarks, and you’re willing to put up with shortcomings, the Sony Xperia X may be a good choice.
