SONY X sounds so cool and awesome 2016!
Proceed normally and naturally the folks at Sony. This series X is over, Samsung S7 series.
Come on, Sony! It's nearly four (4) months after the mobile world congress (MWC) and there's still no high-end device in the stores. WTH is up with you. You once made fantastic phones like the K750i, K800i and others... and now you're just a shadow of your former self. It's a shame.
[deleted post]1-Hi res audio only makes a different if you're playing Hi-res files such as FLAC and WAV, upscaling of normal MP3 is good but nothing sinificant.
2- X performance doesn't have HDR display. It's the rumored X premium that might be coming with one. AMOLED displays proved over and over again that they're better than IPS LCD in terms of sunlight contrast ratio, colour representation, and energy consumption.
i mean ufs memory, not ntfs.

S5 was a failure opoose... moreYou need profits to have a big marketing budget, to get the profits you need good Research & Development (R&D) to create products that people want and will buy, heavy R&D = Great Devices = Profit.
The lack of SD Card in the S6 was due to the new type of memory (NTFS) SAMSUNG are using, it required rebuilding a new memory controller for SD which would take longer than S6 and Note5 Development so they left the SD support out in 2015, now that it is sorted out its back. You would be a very stupid person if you thought Samsung took SD out on purpose, THEY SELL SD CARDS, please, use your brain and think! - You can thank me later for the lesson.
The S7 and S7 Edge are selling well, they helped boost the Q1 results, so Samsung flagships are helping make profits, so is their Fabrication Unit thanks to the Exynos, Apple A SoCs and NAND Memory chips.
Thanks for showing how little you know. :)
AnonD-3367, 15 May 2016Actually Samsung spend more on Research & Development, and each time they do that they do ... moreMarketing budget "crap" is the only thing keeping samsung from red...
S5 was a failure opoosed to s4, S6 was a failure too for samsungs expectations, else they would keep the successor s7 sd cardless and waterproofless...
The s7 design looking exactly like the S6 gives a hint they re cutting expanses to stay profitable
Flagships are not keeping samsung alive and kicking, its the mass production of low and midrangers that keep them profitable, and exactly through enormeus marketing budget, including incentives sammy gives out to resellers...
And EVERY big manufacturer is losing to chinese ones, cause they give cheap and thus dont need big marketing budgets...
Sony changed strategics acknowledging that fact, going for less portfolio and sell with more profit per device,.
Samsung didnt, they still sell not cheap, and chinese will eat them up, bit by bit.
Tann Hauser, 15 May 2016 S6 better than X perf?! {face and palm} Even X has better antutu score than S6. S5 and ... moreFold and keep the antutu score anywhere you like..
Phinch88, 15 May 2016really? charge a sony phone everyday? proves you have never owned a sony device, they boast a ... moreLol, I have many colleagues who use Xperia Z2s and Z3s, and one that has a Z5 Compact and another with a normal Z5, NONE of them get 2days battery life, as they actually USE their phones, more like a full day, having to charge at night.
Let the Qnovo BS go kid, you know Sony are one brand who will throw name brands on a piece of turd, and as usual the fanboys fall for it.
viveksubhash, 15 May 2016but its like sony is a huge slow powerful dim-witted cyclops, whereas other companies are like... moreThere are pretty much of trolls bashing Sony, you are not the only one.
Why? What are they afraid?
Sony have do a research of beta test in Google plus, it is a good way to communicate between fans (I know some of the trolls there too). The competitors just tricky from trolling, that's facts!
Alien, 15 May 2016I don't wanna argue with you, but Nokia committed suicide twice:

Samsung slowly ate away at Nokia, Motorola and Sony Ericsson between 2005 to 2008, by 2009 they were the 2nd biggest, and continued to eat away bigger chunks when Nokia made their mistakes.
Please get educated before posting.
AnonD-533677, 15 May 2016They are so stupid If they don't have feature phone how are they supposed to make sell anyth... moreWhat is a "feature phone" ? You mean, those phones from 10 years ago ?
This whole thing makes a lot of sense because the M and C series had always been low end/midranges so why make them in two different lineups. With the new X series the XA=low enders, X=Midrangers and XP=Flagships/High enders. It'll definitely cover all aspects of the market. And what's up with all these talk of Z series is better that and this? Come on people, it's just a name, why not wait for actual life performance? U just have to call it what they call it, I mean they made it.
Subsequently as the series unfolds we should get
XA1....XA2 etc
X1......X2 etc
XP1....XP2 etc and probably XPP so we are looking at
(SONY XPERIA X PERFORMANCE PREMIUM) lol. That is one long name for a phone, for anything even.
Anonymous, 14 May 2016i also don't see what problem sony is dealing with...
But I find a great problem: the competi... morebut its like sony is a huge slow powerful dim-witted cyclops, whereas other companies are like ninjas(or kratos if thats what you prefer) who rip off the cyclop's eye for their benefit..
they are not listening to their fans, i think their PR is just sleeping...read forums...users wanted better gorilla glass not a sheet of aluminium(that too a lenovo rip off) they want OIS, they don't mind a small camera hump, they're gonna case the phone anyways, etc, rest what i said in last post
back to the letter "x" like the old pioneer xperia x1, x2 (winmo), and then x10, x6 (android)? is this some kind of reincarnation in naming the series
Anonymous, 15 May 2016Sure the sony battery might get 25% more cycles than samsung.
But S7 Edge wont need to be c... morereally? charge a sony phone everyday? proves you have never owned a sony device, they boast a two day battery life and with stamina mode on the basic settings you can get even longer, closer to 14 days.....but that restrics the phones usage and makes no point in having it as a smart phone
They are so stupid
If they don't have feature phone how are they supposed to make sell anything
Their so called mid range cost more than the flagships

Anonymous, 15 May 2016Even the S6 is better than X Performance.S6 is not waterproof, the S6's battery also seal, the S6 no memory card, no physical camera button.
We known the Xperia X is using Qnovo battery technology, so the S6's battery must be a mediocre. I use the Z2, the sound I can claim that is the best one, even the mp3 also produce like the Hi-res, I think the X will be much more better, so,what do you want to trolling anymore?

- First they said no to Android
- Second they went with Windows Mobile
Samsung has nothing to do with Nokia dying.
And may I ask, why are you trolling on Sony related articles when you are clearly a Sammy boy?! You're getting paid for this?
You don't see Sony fans trolling Sammy phones.. Get a life dude.. You're pathetic!
