Both smartphones feature Sony’s new flagship camera, designed so you can select your subject and it can automatically track it as it moves. The 23-megapixel rear camera can also go from standby to capture in less than 0.6 seconds, making sure that you won’t miss even the most spontaneous moment.
The Snapdragon 650 powering the Xperia X is engineered to deliver high-quality multimedia and performance. The integrated Snapdragon X8 LTE modem supports Category 6 connection speeds.
Thanks to the Snapdragon 820 processor, the Sony Xperia X Performance takes connectivity to the next level. The integrated Snapdragon X12 LTE modem supports Category 9 connection speeds. And the Qualcomm Kryo 280 CPU is designed to deliver double the performance and efficiency compared with the previous-generation, which means better overall power management.
