Surprisingly, Sony did not launch in MWC2016 Xperia Z5 , replaced by the X series. Xperia X has a 5-inch screen. In the current mobile phones, this is a small size mobile phone. Suofen should not be too unfamiliar with the design of Xperia X, because it looks like a smaller Xperia Z5.
152g Xperia X is equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 650 six core processor, 3GB memory and 32GB storage space. There is another one in the X series Xperia Performance This phone is a more powerful version. Sony has spent a lot of effort on Xperia X. The main camera with 23 million pixels and the front camera with 13 million pixels also has a function called "predictive hybrid focusing". Through this technology, the camera can predict the operation track of the object to be photographed to prevent the focus from blurring. We will test this function later.

Appearance&Screen
The body shell of Xperia X is composed of plastic and aluminum alloy, with a thickness of 0.7cm, and has four colors - gold, black, and white, as well as our testing machine, rose gold. The edges and four corners of the body are smooth. The edge transition of the screen 2.5D glass is very comfortable to hold in your hand. However, the workmanship is slightly worse than that of the Z5. There will be some gaps between the Xperia X screen and the plastic frame. Xperia's logo is embedded in the metal back shell, which feels very high-end. The power key is also a fingerprint sensor, which is easy to unlock. There is also a camera shutter button on the right side of the fuselage. Press this button under the rest screen to turn on the camera immediately.

screen
The 5-inch 1080P LCD screen looks good. The 441ppi is also higher than the Z5, with an average brightness of 392 cd/㎡, which is enough to be used in various light conditions. But the black level of 0.68cd/m2 and the contrast of 594:1 are also unsatisfactory, Xperia X has a screen display enhancement application - X-Reality, which has three display modes to improve the color saturation of photos and videos.

System and data connection
Xperia X's system is Android 6.0 marshmallow. Sony has pre installed some common software, including Google App, anti-virus software AVG Protection Pro, FM radio, Spotify, and music recognition software TrackID. In general, you may be able to use these pre installed software, but you are These preinstalled software cannot be uninstalled Of. There are some gesture functions in the main interface, including drop-down view of common software, recommended installation software and search bar. The notification center of the system is similar to native Android. You can rearrange shortcut menu icons, adjust screen brightness, etc. Smart Cleaner can regularly clean the cache in apps you don't use often.

data connection
Sony has equipped Xperia X with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 650 (MSM8956) six core processor, two Cortex A72 cores (1.8GHz) and four Cortex A53 cores (1.2GHz). The GPU is Adreno 510, which has 3GB of memory and 32GB of storage space. The Android 6.0 marshmallow system occupies almost 12GB of storage space, while the actual space is only about 20GB. However, Xperia X supports SD card expansion, up to 2TB SD card expansion, and the mobile phone supports App2SD, which can move mobile phone software, video pictures, music, etc. to the SD card. However, its USB2.0 interface does not support OTG or MHL, but has NFC, Bluetooth 4.2, and WiFi direct connections.
performance
Qualcomm Snapdragon 650 six core processor, 3GB memory Adreno 510 GPU， These hardware basically ensure that you can run smoothly under Android 6.0, but when we compare, Xperia X, Z5 and Nexus 5X Can't compete in score and browser test Huawei P9 、 iPhone SE and One plus three 。
Xperia X uses a common flash memory, so its performance in the read and write test is also average. Data transmission is not fast or slow, just good, but it is still faster than Z5 and Nexus 5X. In the SD card reading and writing test, the speed is only 17.7MB/s, which is too different from the speed claimed by the Toshiba SD card in the mobile phone (read: maximum 95MB/s, write: maximum 80MB/s). The card reading speed of Xperia X has not fully realized the potential of the SD card.
Let's take a look at a set of performance tests

Game
After all, the processors and GPUs that Sony carries for it are only mid tier products, which may be incomparable with other high-end phones in terms of performance. But in our tests, we ran "Asphalt 8" and "Dead Trigger 2" When playing the latter, even if we turn on high special effects, the frame rate can reach 50fps, and the mobile phone's gravity sensor, gyroscope and touch screen respond in a timely manner.
fever
Under full load operation, we tested that the temperature of Xperia X is 40.3 ℃. This temperature will give a little heat in the hand, but 40.3 ℃ is not high compared with other mobile phones.

Battery life
The battery capacity of Xperia X is 2620mAh, which may be a little small for the current mobile phone battery capacity. Xperia X is the first mobile phone equipped with Qnovo battery. It supports fast charging 2.0. The official claims that its battery life will be longer, and the number of battery charges will be more than that of ordinary lithium batteries. This means that even after you use Xperia X for a year or two, the mobile phone's battery life will remain strong, while the battery life of ordinary mobile phones has been greatly reduced, This is very important for mobile phones with non removable batteries.
In the standby test, the standby time of Xperia X is 67 hours, although not the best we have ever seen（ Z3 Compact It is the best one we have tested), but it is better than Xperia Z5. By comparison, the standby time of LG G5 is 60 hours, HTC 10 is 66 hours, Huawei P9 is 75 hours and Samsung Galaxy S7 80 hours.
(Battery life test. Standby time: 67 hours; 3G talk time: 19.05 hours; web browsing: 9.34 hours; video playback: 9.56 hours)
At the same time, Xperia X and The Stamina battery energy saving function has two modes, namely "normal" and "super strong". After the former is turned on, some infrequent functions such as GPS and vibration will be turned off, and the processor frequency will be reduced. The latter is prepared for you when you can't find any charging place. After you open the main interface, only dialer, contacts, SMS, camera and clock can be used to ensure the battery life until you find the charger.
camera
Sony Xperia X uses a 1/2.3 inch 23 megapixel stack sensor with an aperture of f/2.0 and a G lens (this is only available on high-end computers). One of the highlights of this camera is its "predictive hybrid focusing". In the shooting interface, you click the object you want to focus on, and then even if the object moves, the focus can also be locked on the object, which can be focused. This is very convenient for shooting objects that have been moving.
Xperia X also has a fast shooting speed. Under the lock screen interface, it only takes 0.6 seconds to take a picture. However, you need to open and press the shutter key to activate the camera to enjoy this speed. Just like Sony's advertising copy, the shooting speed is really fast. Sometimes the photos are taken before we even enter the camera interface.
The front camera is also impressive. It has a 1/3 inch sensor, 13 million pixel and f/2.0 aperture camera, which is usually used in low-end mobile phones Main camera On the head.
Sony cameras are usually quality assurance. They perform equally well in low light environments. The shutter speed will be adjusted according to different scenes. In static scenes, noise will be reduced through longer exposures. In complex light environments, hand shaking paste will be reduced through short exposures. In the shooting interface, switch the shooting mode by sliding down and up. If your shooting level is very high, there are also manual modes for you to adjust various parameters. However, there are not many adjustable options. There are ISO and white balance settings. Hmm, that's all.
(Camera UI)
The camera's playability is quite high. Panoramic cameras, slow motion videos, etc., and the "Camera App" are available for download, providing more fun and interesting modes for cameras.
(Camera App - AR enhanced mode)
The quality of the sample is good, but this camera still has the weakness of Sony mobile phones. The noise always exists in every photo, especially in low light environment. In order to reduce noise, the camera will carry out a noise reduction smear re sharpening algorithm, which greatly reduces the details of the photo. Especially when shooting various plants and grass, this sharpening can be clearly observed. "Predictive auto focus" is easy to use, as long as the object you focus on does not leave the viewfinder, there is basically no problem. We are very satisfied with the focusing speed. When switching the focusing object, the camera can always find the focus quickly and refocus. Although it is not as fast as the Samsung Galaxy S7, it is enough. In general, you can get some better samples when you start HDR, but Xperia X After HDR is turned on, the improvement effect is not so obvious.
Next, let's look at some samples.
(Full automatic mode)
(Normal mode)
(HDR mode)
(When taking panoramic photos, it is a little unsatisfactory, the joints will overlap, and the quality of samples is low)
The front camera of Xperia X has a very high pixel. In a good light environment, the samples taken are rich in details. In the indoor environment, too many noise points weaken the advantage of the original high pixel, but as long as you don't zoom in, it's OK.

video
Xperia X can shoot 1080P video at 30fps and 60fps, but cannot shoot 4K video, which is a pity. After all, even the Xperia M5 can shoot 4K video. The overall quality of the video is good, but there are also some shortcomings. The video will also erase some details in order to reduce noise. The bit rate per shot at 30fps is 18Mbps, while that at 60fps is 30Mbps, but both There is no big difference,, Xperia X has the help of digital stabilization system when shooting video to prevent your hands from shaking. Please record sample video 。
summary
Sony's Xperia X has many advantages, but it is still a long way from the flagship phone. After all, there are many powerful rivals in the 5-inch screen phone camp. The body material of aluminum alloy and plastic feels good in the hand. The addition of fingerprint identification and beautiful display screen also add color to this phone. In general, Xperia X has a high overall quality, but there are still many areas that need to be improved.
