To recap

The Sony Xperia X sits in a funny place, offering mid-range hardware in parts, with a flagship camera experience, but keeping the price high. It’s a perfectly powerful phone for day-to-day use, but losing waterproofing will see it losing its appeal compared to the Z5, and the high price sees it undercut by many rivals.
