Sony managed to pull the wool over everyone's eyes with its smartphone announcements at this year's MWC. Instead of announcing the Sony Xperia Z6 as everyone expected, it instead announced three handsets under the 'Xperia X' moniker. There's the Xperia XA, which is the lower-tier device, and the Xperia X and Xperia X Performance.
The Xperia X has a smooth metal back, which is a nice change from the glass-panel backs on the previous Xperia Z models. There's a 23 megapixel rear camera with new predictive hybrid autofocus. The lens hasn't changed from the Z5 but the new AF should be a big improvement. microSD card slots are available and you can install a card up to 200GB to supplement the built-in storage. There single- and dual-sim options, with the latter having more internal storage at 64GB. The single-SIM model will make do with 32GB. Sony is making some bold 'two-day battery life' claims, too, but we'll need to get one in to see how it fares in reality.
Sony keeping quiet about UK pricing and release dates right now but I'll update when these are announced. Read our hands-on review of the Sony Xperia X to find out more.
