Conclusion
Sony has come up with some convincing new devices at MWC this year, and the Xperia X is possibly one of the most important devices of all. This could perhaps turn the fortunes for Sony after successive lows in terms of sales in recent years. Xperia X has a good set of hardware and premium design, and if it can really manage two days of battery life in real then it can seriously change things for the Xperia line. But Sony has to make sure that the prices are kept well under the expected brackets, or else there are a lot other options for users to choose in the mid-range smartphones.
