Sony Xperia X: our first impressions, video and photos! – CHIP

For many days before the fair mobile equipment in Barcelona was known almost everything when it comes to equipment, which will present such giants as Huawei, LG and Samsung. Unknown remained only one enormously important company – Sony. Of course, in this case the network circulated various types of leaks, speculation or even guesswork, but … one hundred percent proven to be untrue. Only yesterday, the day before the premiere, when the first information about the new Prime Minister of Sony, including Xperia X ….



Sony Xperia X

Well – X and not Z . This is not a direct successor to the Xperia Z5, but rather a new opening and a true revolution in the offer of mobile Sony. Quite clever opening, because the basic Xperia X is really a phone that may constitute a middle ground in the search for many smartphone users. Of course, if someone wants to super-powerful hardware, the Sony also offers a model X Performance of the Snapdragon 820 and waterproof casing, while the “normal” model X no special ambition to win the benchmarks. Its advantage is to be usability, real, life usability!

In the first through the battery. Although it has a capacity of 2620 mAh, so not a great record, but thanks to the “restrained performance” and the new energy management algorithms has quietly enough for more than 2 days of use smartphone. In addition, Sony promises that he will cooperate with the charger in an intelligent way, extending the double-life battery (charger will initially recognize the degree of his discharge, and accordingly adjust the charging mode).

Secondly, through the performance needed for any modern application, including demanding games, video recording at 4K or serial photographs. Behind these general statements hidden system Snapdragon 650 and 3GB of RAM, so you can safely assume that … will be fine. More or less at the level of the most powerful smartphones last year, maybe even better, but in conjunction with a much more reasonable power management battery.

Thirdly, Sony did not go to any compromise in image quality. The main camera module, which is used in models of X and X Performance is the same “strong man”, as in the model Z5 (23 million pixel Exmor RS, large for a smartphone matrix type 1 / 2.3 inch), but even faster positioning sharpness, and features a new mode of tracking an object with the prediction of his position exactly at the moment of shooting.

It really works! The rapid test, we had the opportunity to perform on the stand, it was enough at first to point the finger on the screen (when you turn the camera application), which object to be tracked. Then he appeared on the frame, decreasing or increasing, if the tracked object moving away or closer. Tracking was very certain, and if the tracked object was leaving the frame and appeared to back track was resumed. After shooting, it turned out that the rapidly moving sphere was registered as a really sharp.

Besides, is not the only element in this camera, which impresses with speed and efficiency. In another test, I could photograph the pop-up unexpectedly and immediately hiding tube. Even with quite a blank screen was enough to press the shutter button (on the side of the smartphone) to this woke up and made a photo – all within 0.6 seconds.

When the smartphone is awake and ready to take pictures, there is still better – response time by pressing the shutter button (physical or displayed on the screen) is only 0.03 s – Sony boasts that at this point the fastest sets the focus mobile camera in the world. This is due to the hybrid system focus, using both phase detection sensors embedded in the matrix, as well as natural for this type of cameras with contrast detection.

And yet a word about the parameters: The main camera is a big matrix type 1/2 3-inch Exmor RS cooperating with a powerful Bionz imaging processor and lens with the designation G aperture of f / 2.0. For the front camera, also uses technology Prediction Hybrid Autofocus with a resolution of up to 13 million pixels. Not bad!

Front camera in the Xperia X could probably compete in image quality of many of the main modules photographic other smartphones ...

the front camera in the Xperia X could probably compete in image quality of many of the main modules photographic other smartphones …

the phone itself really great in the hand and makes very good , solid impression. But that tell more in the video below:

Note that Sony has departed from the typical last Xperia With glass on the rear panel. Instead, in the case of model X (X and Performance) have the metal in the case of Xperia XA – plastic material, which looks like a metal. In front of all three versions of the phone have screens covered with Gorilla Glass fourth generation.

The other little thing that not everyone will throw in my eyes, is the attention to the color of the whole smartphone – all elements not only back, but also on the front wall are colorful, and not, as previously there were times black.

on a metal frame (all three variations X) there is a place on the power button integrated fingerprint reader, volume control and a physical button trigger camera shutter. Many manufacturers avoid this solution, and the damage – physical button, however, something completely different than the virtual display on the screen. Just because you can thanks to him quickly wake up the phone and go straight to the Capture mode.

And yet the word about water. Xperia Xperia X and XA are not wodoodorne, although Sony employees unofficially admit that rain or splashes cope without major problems. In contrast, the only truly waterproof smartphone in the new opening is the Xperia X Performance (certified IP 65 and IP 68).
