Flagship-level performance ; Water-resistant design ; Lightweight, unobtrusive Android skin

Not worth the asking price ; Lacks some features you'd expect from a flagship ; Middling camera ; Occasionally overheats

If anyone from Sony is reading this, here's a serious question: What were you trying to accomplish with the X Performance? It's a perfectly passable flagship, but is this really the sort of flagship you want your name attached to? I don't mean to be...

At the MWC 2016 we had a one-on-one chat with Sony representatives and had a chance to ask them the hard questions.

Fast Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor. Solid camera. Latest software and minimal bloatware. Expandable storage. IP68 waterproofing.

Overheating issues in testing. Mediocre battery life. Relatively low-resolution display. No fingerprint scanner.

Conclusions For $700, the Sony Xperia X Performance doesn't bring anything new or particularly interesting to the table. It does have some of the hardware you'd expect from a top-tier phone, but the 1080p display, middling battery life, and overheating...

Fetching design ; Water-resistant ; Expandable storage

High cost ; Some mid-range specs ; Lacks fingerprint sensor ; Disappointing camera

The Sony Xperia X Performance suffers from Sony’s inability to survive only on their basic software finesse and high-quality hardware builds. That’s unfortunate. Instead they seem to have to jam in as much software and promotions as they can to make...

Absolutely brimming with power, the Sony Xperia X Performance is well designed and the only new Xperia to be waterproof.

Battery life needs a big boost for this phone to live up to its potential.

The Xperia X Performance runs rings around the basic Xperia X and is a great phone for anyone who likes their handsets with a bit of grunt.

Looking at all these comparisons individually, Sony's model ended up coming a lot closer to competing on the same level as Apple's market-leader than we ever expected it might, and even where one phone pulled ahead of the other in all the various...

Nice, clean look ; Unobtrusive UI ; Respectable performance ; Fast camera launch/capture

Price, price, price ; Hardware not quite up to the level of competitors ; Lack of 4K video is a downgrade from Z5 ; Build quality falls short of expectations

The big problem with the Sony Xperia X Performance isn't one having to do with the phone's features, its software, or even its design. Instead, it's in how the manufacturer is positioning the phone.
