Sony Xperia X
In what can only be described as a major
hat-trick that pretty much came unexpected, Sony Mobile announced the Xperia X.
Belonging square in the middle of its brand new X series of smartphones, the
Xperia X is powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 650 hexa-core chipset, which may
be a step below the premium-tier SD 820 SoC, but packs plenty of high
performance potential. There are 3 GB of RAM and up to 32 GB (single SIM version)
/ 64 GB (dual SIM version) of expandable storage.
Sized a comfortable 142.7 x 69.4 x 7.9 mm
at a weight of 153 grams, the Xperia X is compact with its elegant design and
reasonably sized display. The Xperia X features a 5-inch 1080p resolution
display with Sony's Triluminos and X-Reality image enhancement technologies.
When activated, these sweeten up photos and videos with an artificial boost in
color and dynamics.
Sony equipped the Xperia X with a 23 MP
camera that, uber-large photos aside, serves up Predictive Hybrid Autofocus.
Other extras on board include Quick launch, 5x Clear Image Zoom, a 24 mm G-Lens
with F2.0 aperture, and 1080p video recording. Meanwhile, the front camera is a
seriously big 13 MP unit with a 22 mm wide angle lens and SteadyShot video
stabilisation. The Predictive Hybrid Autofocus lets you choose a subject from
the scene and predicts its motion, promising blurry-free shots. More advanced
features include Sony’s smart battery management, which claims to deliver up to
two days of battery life. Also helping in the battery department is Qnovo's
Adaptive Charging technology for fast recharges.
