Sony Xperia X Performance vs Sony Xperia Z5, which of the two is more interesting?

Sony Xperia X Performance updates to Android Oreo

Sony has launched the new Sony Xperia X, Sony Xperia XA and Sony Xperia X Performance as 'premium mid-range' smartphones. However, the truth is that the latter, the Sony Xperia X PerformanceIt is a mobile that could even compete with the Sony Xperia Z5. Which of the two mobiles is more interesting?

A new smartphone

And is that the Sony Xperia X Performance is a different mobile from the Sony Xperia Z5, although it coincides in many of its technical characteristics. But it is different even at first glance. It is clear that Sony has wanted to establish a clear difference in the design of smartphones, as we find, for example, the screens with 2.5D crystals slightly curved at the ends. In addition, both the front of the smartphone and the back cover and frame are the same color, although the material changes from metal to glass.

Sony Xperia X Performance

However, the key difference between the Sony Xperia Z5 and the Sony Xperia X Performance is the display. The latter has a 5-inch screen instead of a 5,5-inch screen, although also with a Full HD resolution of 1.920 x 1.080 pixels, thus being a somewhat smaller mobile.

Similar phones

Even so, they are similar mobiles, especially in something that is key at Sony, the camera. And it is that both the Sony Xperia Z5 and the Sony Xperia X Performance have a camera with a 23 megapixel sensor. Although even the latter includes an approach tracking system that is a novelty in a mobile that, in theory, is something worse.

They also share more features, such as the water resistance that high-end Sony phones have, and even some mid-range phones, and that of course also had to be present in this Sony Xperia X Performance.

A better mobile?

But it is that the Sony Xperia X Performance could be even better than the Sony Xperia Z5. And it is that, a priori, it is. Its processor is the new generation Qualcomm Snadpragon 820, while the Sony Xperia Z5 has the previous generation Qualcomm Snapdragon 810. The RAM is 3 GB and the internal memory is 32 GB. Almost the same, if not for the processor, better on the mobile that Sony has just launched.

It is true that the Sony Xperia X Performance is an advanced version of the Sony Xperia X, which could be considered the main mobile of this new range of mobile phones. But in any case, it is still a very high-level mobile, which will be very interesting for all those users who are looking for a mobile of the highest level.

Sony Xperia X Performance Colors

Perhaps the main difference between these two phones is in the screen, with the Sony Xperia X Performance counting with a 5-inch screen instead of the 5,5-inch Sony Xperia Z5.

The battery of the Sony Xperia X Performance is 2.700 mAh, and according to Sony, a new technology has been included with which the two days of autonomy of the Sony Xperia Z5 could be exceeded. Of course, lately it has been very common to talk about a battery life superior to that of rivals, so we will have to wait before being able to talk about a real improvement in terms of the battery.

These three new smartphones won't arrive until the summer, and pricing has yet to be confirmed. In fact, being phones that reach this level in the case of the Sony Xperia X Performance, there is a possibility that the Sony Xperia Z5 is the last Sony Xperia Z to hit the market. It is just a possibility, but of course, the new design of the Sony Xperia X is really good, and its technical characteristics are typical of a flagship, so there is no reason not to consider it as such.
