Phone Review - Sony Xperia X Dual

Sony may be facing a little decline in demand for its mobile phones, but the Japanese electronics giant continues to succeed in other departments, including its gaming and camera sensor divisions. Following the Sony Xperia Z5 range, the company has continued to develop its smartphone lineup, and announced a new flagship 'X' range of smartphones earlier this year at MWC 2016.

This brings us to its latest flagship device: the Sony Xperia X Dual. Priced at Rs. 48,990, the Xperia X Dual is firmly positioned among the bigwigs. Although the phone isn't quite as well-specified as many other more affordable options, Sony hopes to make up by packing in plenty of camera technology that it claims will help you take fantastic pictures. Does the Sony Xperia X Dual have what it takes to live up to its price tag? Find out in our review.

Look and feel
We would have expected the change in naming conventions to mark major overall changes, but the design language of the new phone closely resembles that of the Sony Xperia Z5 (Review). From the block-like shape to the curves around the corners, the Xperia X Dual sticks to Sony's tried and tested styling, and looks great as a result.

The all-metal body helps with this, and also gives this phone a truly premium and solid build. The Xperia X Dual is also a little bit smaller than its predecessor, with a 5-inch screen in place of the 5.2-inch one on the Xperia Z5. It's also extremely well balanced, with equal heft no matter how you hold it. This makes the Xperia X Dual particularly easy to hold and grip.

The front of the phone has an unspecified scratch-resistant glass which curves off at the edges to appear to blend into the sides. There are two speakers for stereo sound. The front camera, Sony logo, and proximity sensor are all at the top.
