SonyXperia X 32GB SIM Free Smartphone - Black

Up to the usual high standards you expect from Sony. This is a superbly designed smartphone with metal case and curved-edge screen - similar to the iPhone 6/7 and Samsung S7. It's larger than the former though and fits well in the hand while still having a bright, clear 5-inch screen. The product photos are a little confusing though because that strange lock-screen is actually just a glimpse of the sideways motion the unlocking swipe takes, and the colourful paintbrush swirls are the wallpaper underneath (easily changed).The instructions say charge for 30-mins before first use, so I did. And if it's like mine then proceeds to update itself, all the way up to Android 7 Nougat.In use the phone is responsive and handles everything thrown at it. I've read reviews of the heat generated by the latest Sony's but have to say I haven't noticed it. That big initial upgrading - which overall took quite a while - didn't make the phone any warmer than any other I've had. In fact I'd say it became only slightly warm. Certainly nothing out of the ordinary.So far I'm down to 50% after that original charge 5 days ago, so there's no battery problem either. True I don't sit glued to it all day like a teenager and turn it off at night. From previous experience of other phones I'm quite happy.The box is Sony's new style - less flat and more boxy. You get the phone, a USB cable and adaptive fast charger (UCH10) and a couple of leaflets. That's all. So no earphones.The SIM is a Nano-sized one and it fits in a single pull out tray alongside a memory card if you choose to use one.On Sony's web-site you'll find a full PDF manual and the "Xperia Companion" desktop software for both Windows and macOS if you'd like to use that. For Windows users only there's the "Media Go" music and video player available too. An alternative to the like of iTunes etc. None of this is needed though.All in all the phone doesn't disappoint. I've owned Sony phones before and they just keep getting better. I've owned iPhones too but keep coming back to Sony.A good buy from a quality brand.

Received this mobile phone promptly, just what I wanted the Sony phones are well made .had a M2 before but as with most phones the mic started to go,the only thing that I can't adjust too is when you start up you have to swipe the screen to the left, I only had to swipe to the right.the camera is very good, nice clear photos.the Battery is better than the M2 I had previously. I have now gone over to 4G as well with my provider so todate I have had no problems.

Wow what a phone its a quality well built device and one of the best phones I've used and I've had a few, using the phone is smooth no lag at all OS seems to been very well optimised by Sony, camera is great and is more than capable of taking some cracking shots. We all moan about price I paid under £400 and for me its very good value if you look at how the phone is built, looks and performs.I've looked at all the low reviews on the various review sites out their in the www and I have no Idea how they can come up with scores of 2 and 3 stars out of 5 this phone is a 4 all day long, far better phone experience that with the Galaxy S6, S6 Edge, Nexus 5x.Anyone who gives a low review of this phone clearly does not own it.ProBuild qualityScreen bright and hi resNo lagFront facing speakers and headphone socket on the top of the phone where it should beCrystal Clear earphone/mic when taking phone callsFantastic audio quality through Sony MDR-EX110LP Deep Bass EarphonesCamera and dedicated camera buttonCon'sNo Earphones included

Said was Unlocked but was Locked to EE, but I never got a Chance to Put my Sim in as was as Dead as a Doornail - It came with *NO CABLE*............ I tried with 2 different cables of my own and the import port was faulty - No Charging - Went to Tescos and Purchased a Charging Cable (Brand New) and the New cable not working - I do Not understand how it got their Quality Control............. What a waste of my Time, down in my Pocket and a Lesson Learned......................... AVOID - AVOID - AVOID
