some rumours say that is exclusive to Japanese set design. not sure what's the logic though

edit:
just did a search on xperia x performance for docomo and it does have the extra bar on the lower back as well

Might it be special antenna for their network?

Xperia x comes with OIS?

Lol, I think that's a mistake.

I remember quite clearly that one of the Sony Engineers being interviewed mentioned that they still think that their SteadyShot implementation is much better than OIS currently.

I think the general perception is that it is true for Video, but for Photos, it is questionable.

Guys, is xperia X a dualSim device?
Tq

Yeah, dual sim, the second sim slot is hybrid, so if you use sdcard then no place for 2nd sim.

Thanks bro.. still considering this & other sd650/652 phones.
Would've been no brainer if it is ip68. 

Use one bro?

Yeah, and quite happy with it, tried out XZ in shops, but dun really like the feel of that.

The Xperia X seems to be the last phone that they are marketing with 2 days battery life, so I think they have given up of that.

Pros :
- Overall good color reproduction
- Fair speed at taking pictures
- Large screen so its easy to spot for details
- Good resolution
- Front camera flash and OIS helps alot
- Comfortable shutter button despite being thin

Cons :
- Poor autofocus speed
- Phase detection not fast enough in some cases
- Poor macro focusing(iPhone 5 does better)
- Rear camera no OIS. Pressing the shutter button fast may shake the photo
- Stock camera app settings and control are quite limited even on manual mode
- No custom white balance
- Auto mode sucks as auto white balance is not accurate most of the time indoors
- Single LED flash not powerful enough for further subjects in the dark
I have the Xperia X, not sure whether the focusing distance is the same.

Last week I tried to use the rear camera to snap a high res photo of a printed 3/4R picture, it just won't focus when I get too near to the photo, was trying to get it as close as possible to get better resolution.

So what I did was to pull back, and then just zoom in, make sure the zoom is less than 2X. Since the X camera have 24 MP which is too much, I guess don't mind sacrificing a bit.

It is not really the same with macro focus, but guess it is a workaround.

Yup. Basically if your focus distance is lesser than the minimum focusing distance the lens won't focus. Stepping away and zooming in to focus is one way to do it. You can also snap the picture at your widest angle and then crop it later. Quality should still be okay if you don't crop too much since its a 20mp+ camera. Safer than zooming because photos tend to be blurry from handshake.

If only there are manual focusing option. That way can maximize the use of the camera's focusing distance.

Still, very disapointed with the camera la.. haha

Well, in our phones, the zoom is a crop, so there's not much difference regarding handshake.

The difference is in the exposure and white balance, if you include too many things other than what you wanted to snap/crop, then the exposure won't be that correct.
