My Personal Opinion About Sony X Performance. - Sony Xperia X Performance Guides, News, & Discussi

Ok, let's start from phone feeling slugish.
I bought this phone second hand for 150€
The phone feels slow. Smooth is not a word for this phone. In simple tasks like browsing through UI (settings, xperia home etc.) Phone feels very slow and thats not what you would expect from SnapDragon 820.
In terms of Gaming its not bad runs pretty much anything you throw at it at Medium to high settings, but after playing for like 10 minutes it heats up really bad. (i'm gonna talk about it in just a sec)
Design.
Boy oh boy what do we have here.
Volume buttons are below power button and thats a such a bad decision! I freaking hate that! I have to tilt the phone to reach the volume buttons with my thumb. Thats soo dumb!
But it feels nice in the hand. I'm really big fan of the back of this phone, front looks a bit weird becauce of screen to body ratio.
Screen is decent nothing big or deal breaking in here.
Heating!
What the actual living f...
It heats up like hell. Its like your personal heat warmer.
Just by using the phone normally phone reaches 40-50c
(Facebook, twitter etc...)
Even when you scroll through ui you can feel some heat. While i am typing this kind of review phone is warm.
But there is one thing that i really love about this phone. Its speakers. Oh mah god man i love 'em. Maybe thats because its my first stereo phone, but they are really good. Could be louder tho.
Camera could be better but its not bad. Will clip few photos that are made with xperia x performance. (If i have any lol)
Conclusion: don't buy it unless you are desperate for a phone like me or you just use it casually. (Calling and texting)
Buy something like xiaomi mi 5s a much better phone. Smoother and better in every way. (Not a fan boy)
In general i somehow still like this phone but i hate it when it heats up and feels slow, but if i would be buying a new phone i would consider buying xiaomi mi 5s or xiaomi mi 5.
Again, i am not a xiaomi fan.
Peace ?

i prefer xperia z5.....

i wish i could say the same, but i picked this phone up because of SD820. One of the worst decisions in my life. Period.

Don't lose your faith in your X Performance, yet.
I just got my hands on a second hand unit and I am going to spend some precious time trying with tuning my X Performance for increasing/achieving more performance out of it without sacrificing the battery life (rather making it last long er per charge) even though the custom kernel choices are pretty limited AFAIK.I will give stock kernel a run, basically.
Stay tuned and keep an eye out on this part of the forum here on XDA!

A deeper than deepest kernel enhancing mod that is boosting both performance and battery life for daily usage at the same time with less possible amount of tradeoffs and sacrifices in any way and / or direction.
I've already made it for the two released generations of Google Pixel line-ups (Pixel / Pixel XL and Pixel 2 / Pixel 2 XL) with incredible results and great success so far. Check it at the BlackenedMod related links here below for more "basic" information, if you of course want to;

One last, important thing.. Enjoy!

Galaxy S III Outstanding battery

This device is really optimized, the battery finally is really good!
Great read, this phone will be amazing.!!

that test is rigged!
those guys are paid by samsung just like all the review sites!
that is a HOaX!
nice review of battery life. DO note these are achieved with all stock settings. Once the custom kernel arrives we can get much battery life and even we can disable some cores as needed.
I hope the battery life on the S4 version is comparable. Its too bad LTE markets can't get Exynos.
that's how a jailed/imprisoned/encased/captured/irreplaceable/unchangeable/trapped/smothered battery on other units should perform.

You have the Droid Razr Maxx.
Tinkering is the reason why I'm switching back to Android.
I took a year off tinkering and had an iPhone. It was a good year, but now iOS bores me to death. The games are SO much better than Android games, but the OS just bores me, and the screen is starting to feel too small.
The great thing is, you can choose whether you want a phone to tinker with or a "set it and forget it" type of experience.
Also, my wife does not tinker. Ever. She has had an HTC Legend for two years now and she's quite satisfied with it, she even brags about the great battery life sometimes. I'm giving her my iPhone once I get my SGS3 because I think she will love iOS more than Android.
It's good to have options. Options are yummy.
My point is, if you don't want to tinker, choose an OS that has the default UI that you like the most. Whining about hackability and modability (that's probably not a word) is kinda weird IMO.
This is pretty nice
If the battery life of the iPhone is really that great, they must have improved it a lot. Because my 3GS had poor battery life.

All iam saying is that i shouldn't have to tinker to get most out of myphone...smart phones are following pc route of bumping up processor speeds and adding cores...keep the cpu at dual core, improve on design and efficiency and deliver a smartphone that is truely better than the previous model.
you need quad cores to do facebook, email, video, blogging, tweeting..or anyother business apps.???.. Arrghh.

Smartphones are becoming the ONE device to carry.
I can imagine the 4 cores being used for gaming by one intensive game, but more importantly they can be used for doing 4 things at the same time. We are using our smartphones more than our PCs these days, so it makes sense to keep upgrading while at the same time improving on architecture and efficiency. And this is what Samsung has done with the S3.
By your logic we should have stayed at single core at around 600 MHz and never improved..

This is an impossibility. Tinkering will always get you some more power/features (excepting only cases where the OS is so locked down that doing anything will fry it, for example) and so you'll always have to tinker to "get the most out of yourphone".

lol the S4 is better than the quadcore exynos.
PS: "Tinkering" should be an option... not a need. Most android phones NEED to be tinkered with in order to get a somewhat reasonably satisfying experience.
So, why did I order a second battery? No need =d

I agree and I believe that it's essential for Android's future success to allow for a near perfect user experience without tweaking. But, that being said, looking at the other mobile OSes, you'll see that you're very restricted in customization which is an advantage and a disadvantage. But I guess as time goes on, both batteries and processors will get better (not linearly) and it won't really be an issue.

With Juice Defender or similar apps, the battery operation time could be extended by up to 20-30% if not more + Custom Roms/Kernels with battery saving settings and voila, we can have our batteries working at 150% of what plain Touchwhiz offers

I'd like to add to that, depending on which phone you come from, the performance varies. From let's say a Samsung with touchwiz, it'll be different from a Nexus 4

A person coming from a high end phone and expecting same performance from mid range phone is just terrible thinking. I came from a lower mid range phone and I loved this phone's performance. Now with 6.0 it's much smoother as going by latest comments.

Are you happy with your S8?

I'm getting discouraged by all the downsides of this phone lol. I'm sure it's an awesome phone tho

Stuff like the bloat and battery life.
I'm afraid it'll slow down after some time and the battery life is pretty mixed. Some sites show excellent battery life while others show pretty mediocre battery life.

I am cautiously optimistic. I love the phone so far more so than any other previous phone I've had. Certainly Growing Pains being a brand new unit. Battery life is the best of anything I've had so far not as good as some of the ones posted here but much better than my previous phone which I really couldn't ask for more.

Please validate my life decisions. Being that I live in a first world country and have little to no real worries in life, I've invested my emotions in my cell phone. Please give me the approval I seek so I know my overpriced piece of plastic I use to look at Facebook and IG every so often is worth it. Lol, it's a great phone though.

Google is full of click-bait articles that places like Forbes has people write. They intentionally write biased things to get people worked up. If you need to READ someone else tell you about possible problems with your phone, why bother having the phone?
The phone is the best made to date. Battery life is very good. As an entire package there is not a better device you could buy currently. What a worry to have. In 6 months something a bit better will come around, but I don't know if you should bother buying it - I am sure there will be articles written about it that could cause worry in one way or another.

An excellent phone with a very very good battery life.
Mine is S8 duos exynos. Wi-Fi, BT, BT tethering, 4G, location services, auto sync all on.
Location history is off though and it does make a noticeable difference.
When the guy says Bloat and Battery Life I'm like puzzled look.
My S8 has almost no bloat for the first time in ever and my battery is amazing really.
Lasts easily 19 hours without a charge.
I think people want to moan when it's really not justified, that and they're probably Apple Bots lol
yes
Don't read Reviews on Forbes and the likes, my battery life is excellent to say the least and there's no bloat
overall like the phone but a couple of features i was used to our dear sammy has decided to remove from this phone
1) night clock - used this everyday and miss it like crazy.
2) Ability to select a folder for lock screen images and have them change every time the phone turns on.

Meh, as always it differs... I don't own the S8 (yet ) but do have the S7 (and have had all the galaxy S's so far).
I actually just read the forbes review and a large number of their remarks are 'personal' and/or 'choices you make when buying'.
Camera performance: it focusses on a few points instead of the entire picture or some other points. But does mention the 'overall' picture depends on the user.
Performance: I now have the S7 for over a year and do not recognize the 'slowing down after a few months' at all. It's pretty damn smooth and stays so for me (perhaps also a snapdragon vs exynos thing?)
Battery life: Different people can get different experiences, hell even I sometimes have a crazy drain... That's the thing with android, so much variations all.
Volume/bixby/fingerprint scan: Yeah, the bixby button is nonsense but you know it's there... Same with placement of volume buttons and fingerprint scanner. You can try them in the store and see if they work for you. Location of the sensor wouldn't be mine but it's something you can try out yourself and see if it will be an issue for you.
Anyway, still pretty interested in the S8 but I'm afraid it's a bit too tall for me... Might get it when the price is down a bit and/or I can get it nice 2nd hand. Samsung was always very bloated and while it could be a lot better it's actually not too bad now imo (with the S7). Touchwiz has improved a ton as well. But that's just samsung, you know what you get into.

The best phone I had ever had in my life for the budget.If you can afford a more expensive phone I dont think this phone gonna impressed you but if u're like me coming from a mid range 400$- phone u're gonna love this and will realize how overrated other brands are.Coming from a previous Galaxy Alpha owner which cost 480$ on release date.
Even compared to other flagships 1+ 5 is still hanging right with them, that says a lot
Best phone ever, got rid of the Galaxy S8 after 2 days because i got sick of all the crap, lags and framedrops (games) and bloatware on it. Can nothing but recommend the OP5 despite all supposed/rumored issues :silly:
Happy with it too. No Jelly, no nothing.
and now all oneplus paid trolls are posting here
No issues here To all. INSANE battery life. 9+hours sot. I get 3-4%/hour battery drain combined sot/idle. FAST FAST FAST. Just everything good on my end.
I still am a tad apprehensive to buy an OP5 over G6 due to camera (video and wide angle lens) and that design/ display where as OP5 has great performance, better battery life, better software and will most probably have better long term life in terms of battery and performance.
anyone who used both can shed some light on my apprehensions?

Do yourself and those of us that don`t have issues a favour and just buy another phone and go troll there
I'll tell you I've had many brands of phones throughout the years, and none of them are as refined, smooth, efficient as this OP5....
Stick to Oxygen OS is my advise, I've always been a fan of AOSP and LOS based ROMS, but only with the OP5 I keep coming back to stock.
Enjoy the phone is my last advise. Use a custom kernel, you'll find your favorite, they save tons of battery, besides making the device EVEN smoother and efficient.
The thing is a beast.

I would very much appreciate if you could tell me where to collect the money you are talking about.
Shortly, Best phone i've ever owned: battery life (SOT), performance, shell temperature, ram, storage performance, stock feeling. And i've owned quite a lot.
This is the first android i've seen that doesn't lag when installing apps (!!!)
Display is really ok, and personally i am glad they keept the 1080p for efficiency and performance reasons (i've used 1080p also on s7).
What bothers me is the standby battery life (still better than my previous s6/s7). The wifi seems to consume more battery than other devices
I notice the jelly effect but that doesn't bother me.

The CPU is the same albeit the + version.

Personally haven't got a problem with mine even before they lowered the max brightness.

Perhaps the chip is the only difference, 865 plus.
But yeah, I'm satisfied with the 8pro, the T version is gonna cost a lot apparently.
Wrote this in the other thread, got closed so gets my two cents on the 8T or what I'd expect
The difference will be small incremental changes / updates, the 8 is already a pretty much perfect phone, I cannot fault it; maybe the battery if anything.
Remain
-----------
Screen will remain the same
Size will remain the same
Speakers will remain the same
Battery may / should get a bump
RAM will remain the same
Storage will remain the same
Connectivity will remain the same
Photochrom will be dropped entirely
Buffs / changes
----------------------
Price will see a bump
Charging speed will get a bump
Camera bump from 48 - 64MP
Front camera may get moved to centre or an additional one added, won't be a pop up.
CPU / GPU will be the + variant, honestly at this point it matters a lot less than it would have a few years back, the 865 standard is so powerful the bump to the + may be negligible unless they retain performance and really work on the stamina but I can't see it
Design of the phone may change slightly
New camera lens will take place of photochrom, perhaps fish eye or similar, is 3D still a thing.
On a personal note, I wouldn't get the 8T as I already have the 8, for you I would say; if the battery doesn't get a major bump then I'd go with the 8.
Plus the price will drop when the 8T is near it's launch or even announcement making it the obvious choice.
Then again, that's my opinion, it's up to you.
Also all the rumours at this point are just rumours, if you want a good idea of what the device will be like, look out for the next oppo flagship as it's usually a strong indicator of what will be next for OnePlus.
OnePlus bring a phone out every 6 months, however for the first time there is literally nothing that the CPU / GPU cannot run perfectly, there is no need for more speed now, strange territory, will be interesting to see if they keep buffing the performance or work on efficiency, the latter would be the logical choice but I guess time will tell.

Wrote this in the other thread, got closed so gets my two cents on the 8T or what I'd expect
The difference will be small incremental changes / updates, the 8 is already a pretty much perfect phone, I cannot fault it; maybe the battery if anything.
Remain
-----------
Screen will remain the same
Size will remain the same
Speakers will remain the same
Battery may / should get a bump
RAM will remain the same
Storage will remain the same
Connectivity will remain the same
Photochrom will be dropped entirely
Buffs / changes
----------------------
Price will see a bump
Charging speed will get a bump

You convinced me ?
I won't upgrade my phone for probably 2-3 years if not even more but I was curious xD
Thanks

hahaha, sorry man.
for me finding the sweet spot is a challenge, tbh the Oneplus 8 Pro ticks so many boxes it's an absolute first in my experience, it's just the battery i'd buff if i could.
But lol each to their own

Indeed brother, I also loved the 8pro it's amazing but yeah the battery isn't bad but not the best, I easily get 7h SOT with a good usage and QHD + 120Hz.
The latest update (10.5.13) is good and made the phone sightly smoother so there's still hope for future battery and performance updates xD

I'm just about to unlock and root, this is the longest I've been without unlocking a phone.
Strangely I managed 9 hours yesterday and I wasn't trying so if I'm debloating and or lightening the load can help then I'll be happy with that, plus future updates.

Nice, I always say stock is better but just can't satisfy myself being unrooted ?
I'm rooted and using a custom kernel and getting 7h SOT max with a normal usage. I feel like I could get better with stock but simply want to use a couple of things that require root.
When you root and use a kernel that you think is good, please tell me in PM, I appreciate it, thanks.

I'll always stick with stick kernel, least for now.
Currently testing xXx which is just as I remember it.
Quite impressed that so much can be achieved via a Magisk module Vs a ROM.
If I do jump on kernels I'll give up your a shout how I get on
