our YouTube Ricky here from Tech Talk so today we're going to go through our
review on the sony xperia x ed premium massive thank you to vodafone for
supplying this device to begin our review on our tab we'll look around a
device where the buttons are and some of the key facts so first of all we're
going to start on the front of our device to begin with you have a 13
megapixel front facing camera which offers you great selfies in all light
next to that you're going to find an LED notification so this will let me know
when you have a notification pending on your lock screen and it will help with
charging as well the front you'll see two speakers here so is a front facing
speaker system it offers great sound and it's not blocked just careful not to put
your thumbs over when you're using your device then we move to the display the
display is one of the best displays I have seen it this year so far on the
phone and it is absolutely stunning please go and check this out for
yourself I'm recording in 4k but you need to go and check this device out for
yourself to get the pure benefit so it's a 5.5 inch 4k HDR display it uses their
triluminos display as well which has a resolution of 3840 by 2160 that this is
a staggering PPI of 807 which is so high it is unbelievable
moving around to the left-hand side you can see its thickness here is only seven
point nine millimeter 6 is nice and thin it weighs 195 grams which I think's an
ideal weight there's nine and thirty in your hand as well on the slide here
you're going to see an SD card slot and your SIM card slot which is a nano SIM
for this device the device comes with 64 gigabytes of on-board storage you can
actually use in SD card up to 256 gigabyte looking at the bottom of our
device now you can see a microphone next to that you've got a USB type-c 3.1
charging system and that suits for syncing as well charging it's very quick
I must say with this device on the right hand side you're going to find your
quick action camera button you've got your built-in fingerprint sensor and
power button here and sleep/wake button to fingerprint is inlaid in there then
also you have your volume rockers so let me just show you fingerprint
sensor that wait open it works very simple and you can use any part of your
thumb as well so if I just use the edge here it asks you to change your thumb in
multiple different ways finally looking at the top here you can have another
microphone and you have your 3.5 jack for headphones turn into the back of our
device here first of all you can see the Xperia branding you have some NFC logos
here as this device has nf3 also it is a levels fingerprint as you can see here
on the back you have a 19 megapixel camera with 4k video quality it has
slow-motion 960 frames a second ability you have a LED flash and laser autofocus
there as well this phone offers power and performance all the way through it
hasn't let me down or disappointed me so far in my review and let's show you why
so talking about power is an optical processor which is four cores at 2.4
gigahertz and four cores at 1.9 gigahertz
they're both cairo processors has four gigabytes of RAM and to keep you going
all day it has a three thousand two hundred and thirty minutes hour battery
and of course is running Android 7.2 1.1 and have a GPU adreno 540 on board so
let's have a little look at our home screen here so as you can see I've got
the home screen I've got my applications all install to show you swipe it along
to the far left you're going to get the Google search engine here as you can see
the text is slightly different as I've enlarged the text I've gone through all
the accessibility settings you're going to find on this phone there great video
so please go and check that out as well that will be in the description swiping
along you can see your applications we do have an overlay for Vodafone here
there is a device from Vodafone to the pre-installed some of their software you
get a great amount of software as well from Sony
we click our main app drawer here come pre-installed with Facebook Instagram
and all your Google applications you then have some so many applications like
their Fitness one they are you have a great camera app which I'm going to go
through shortly you also have AVG security onboard
as well to make sure you stay well protected so one of the main features
for a sony xperia phone is the ability to use with it your Sony ps4 the
discerning Xperia x8 premium and Xperia devices you do get the added benefit of
the PlayStation Network I think this is a fantastic option for gamers use the
ps4 as you can see here we have my red controller you have two applications it
comes pre-installed with the PlayStation Network application inside here you can
set up multiple to screen you can login control your device and then also you
can remote play so with remote play asks you to download a application which I've
already got here I just open up this here that's next it's going to connect
to my ps4 in standby mode downstairs and it will turn that on so as you can see
it's loaded my ps4 it will tell you how to connect your controller it will come
up with screen controls if you do want to a lot harder to actually use so we're
going to jump in to the agents of mayhem game which I've been playing it works
really well through remote player tried it a couple of times you do need one an
internet connection and to a very stable internet connection so with the premium
you do get a premium display of course it's only going to play and the content
that the PlayStation can provide and also which will provide through the
Wi-Fi connection so we're just going to get the game loaded up here so swiping
down will bring them on-screen displays to you I prefer to use the controller so
as you can see here I've unlocked agent gap so Johnny Gat is back from playing
to a series so what we can do on here is actually use all our main controls you
can deploy our agents and let me just show a little bit of gameplay so with
this game you select your own team not gonna actually talk too much about this
it's more about the device I just want you to see how well it works
have them a dual front-facing speakers which sound really good we've got
Hollywood and for Qing as our other agents I do recommend if you just want a
fun game to play that's just point to black star walk around just doing
whatever you want to do does remind me of the sanctuary series this is just so
much fun works manipulates very quickly so let's get our car
and are you good so with this game like i said you can
destroy all sorts you have the ability to jump some characters can bash as well
long ground your special abilities as well and then also you have a mayhem
ability just works great as well i want to bring you this video just to see how
easy is to use remote control with a ps4 and a ps4 controller as well so if you
do have any issues connecting please do let me know something more than happy to
help it's just amazing that you can play your peaceful on the go wherever you go
so talking about power and performance I just want to run each bench for here to
show you what result we got as you can see here we've got very impressive
scores from every device that I had tested so far this year these are the
highest scores that I've managed to get certain single core score
we've got 1913 the multi-core score we got six thousand four hundred and forty
two in this application you can scroll through and see what is actually
resulted and tested and also you can jump in to results so our single core
score here I think we smashed everything yes was in front of everything so moving
into the multi-core score again you can see the Samsung Galaxy Notes five
thousand two hundred and twenty eight those leaps and bounds in front of that
device that device is no longer around so be nice to see how well compared to
the new nodes exits coming out very soon talking about power performance let me
show you now how well the network is doing with speed test next I've been
using the Vodafone network to test this device to be using with my social media
to check out YouTube and to check out our Twitter so check it out our Twitter
at Tech Talk UK one all our latest news and updates as well and get to see my
latest videos as well from the channel so let's just see how well this does run
is test at the moment that looks fairly about 22 megabytes down and roughly 18
megabytes apps are 17.9 as impressive I'm really impressed because I do live
in a small town one added feature of the Sony Xperia x8 premium is of course it's
camera so I've gone through what you get here but I just want to show in the
lockscreen you do get a quick access or you do have
your dedicated camera shutter button down here
looking at your camera application here you have flash so you can choose your
flash as well if you want it on also on or are every time you launch the
application you'll be greeted with this flash screen and this is superior also
and with this it can detect which you are trying to shoot so sunshine macro so
if I just bring this in here you can see it changes to a macro filter down there
at the bottom or it thinks it might be food and then it will change and adjust
to your options so the options you have is superior auto then you have manual
mode and toggling on this switch down here at the bottom you can then change
all your manual options you then have video then you have camera applications
so inside here you've got a rfx creative effects sounds picture which is very
much like a live photographs panoramic photograph and then 4k video so down
here at the bottom you're going to have a gear icon and this is going to list
your settings this will change depending on section you're into with a photograph
it will change make sure you set to the highest resolution possible with all of
them next to that you will see your shutter button or your record button
here next to your shutter button you will see your super slow motion which
will give you 960 frames per second you can either take a photo one still image
or a video and next to that you can see some photographs that you've taken
yourself such as a selfie just to see how well it works so to switch to your
selfie camera will you do slide down so hello everyone slide back down again and
that will turn to the reverse camera also gabem Fabiano has gone through in
great detail as a friend of mine has also have this phone to review and he
has gone into even more detail if you want to see that link will be in the
description so like I said this device is from Vodafone UK their best offer at
the moment is four gigabytes of data unlimited text unlimited minutes
that's a 46 pounds a month with 30 pounds upfront cost
that's on a 24 month contract they do have other offers available on their
website the link will be in the description and you get it's in free and
on page you go as well so talking about personal choices and my personal
feelings things devices fantastic the screen is stunning if you do manage to
get a look the screen please check it out so with
this it will display 4k and HDR content pending on what you're watching and
where you're watching from YouTube's fine Netflix is fine
an Amazon Prime video of all work in 4k resolution just blows my mind the camera
quality will not display how well this phone actually that for me as well being
registered blind the brightness is fantastic a large text and the
accessibility settings work fine magnification is pinpoint and to the
point I think when you're in the heart of this display because you have so many
pixels per inch you just get to see every fine detail there is being mode
and you can change the wallpaper very easily on this device so you can make it
your own personal device all applications are on here you get a full
range of applications from Sony I think you do get the Vodafone overlay but it's
not too much to worry about the other influences is with a glass back a little
bit slippery please just be careful it does have brillo glass on the back and
on the front a scroll of glass at five as well for added security the design is
beautiful for this phone so they've used diamond-cut edges it's all been
shampooed and polished up to look absolutely beautiful from all angles yes
it loves fingerprints but when it's polished up and cleaned up it does look
absolutely lovely that fingerprint sensor is rapid fast works very well
very pleased with it haven't had any issues make sure you register the whole
of your thumb if you do have any questions or comment on the video
I very much appreciate it please leave them down below thanks alway to watching
