hello, its my first sony phone and like to share some surguestions and feedbacks from my side,
i got this phone from a auction to be honest i wasn't realy intressed in other brands that samsung but i thought lets try a sony xperia but there is alot sony can change on their devices if you ask me
1. the design (somehow satishfied with the x performance just the bars up and down the screen are to large still)
2. the hardware (i think it can perform beter if it had a led screen tho)
3. the rom/kernel (it look and feel so 90's and clasic)
i could root it to get it more to my taste but since there not many roms like on samsung i didn't even wan't to waste my time to root my xperia
im pretty sure if sony gave people the oputurnity to root and customize the roms i bet sony could get some more ideas how to make their rom and kernel beter, like a faster reboot, some advanced options like a difrent recovery menu something like twrp
i realy am a fan of custom and performance but the x performance don't realy make its name true, its slower than my samsung galaxy s6 and s6 edge+, but that could be because those use custom roms witch are deodexed and debloated, although its still 70% basic rom the phones use, only with mods
for example my sm-g928f its a edge+ but use a galaxy s8 port trough the rom of a note 5 sm-g955f
but ayways i like to share these below
1. like to have the following apps to be in disable list,
i don't even use those and i like to have as less blaotware as i can and use beter apps instead
- xperia care / support
- emergency alerts
- lounge
- track id
- whats new
2. a beter eq, one with more bands upto 50khz since sony audio nowdays go upto 50khz with ldac and so, 16khz is like 90's with nokia's,
i perfer dolby atmos and/or viper4android like apps,
i don't mind paying for them aslong as i can get sound to my hearing taste
even my samsung single speaker out perform the sony stereo build in speakers,
in sound witch is more full and clear as if it have a normal speaker inside
3. navibar button chage, i don't like how they are ordered,
4. notification bar change,
signal icon's on the left
clock in the center
status icons on the right,
difrent battery icon, a small circle with battery presentage in it like 3minit app have
5. the setting menu isn't it changed since 6.0.1, samsung settings menu's change and get more simple than sony setting menu is it's like im using android 5.0
6. phone speaker optimalization setting like viper4android have, phone speakers can perform way beter than they do now
7. a 6x6 drawer and home screen and 1x8 icons for dock, i realy like that on my samsung
8. a home screen auto rotate function, since sony xperia phones are all squarish it would be nice for a 360 rotate option
i like to see these kind of improvements in sony rom/kernel to be honest,
sofar i like the device but if sony won't change and stay like apple ios with no changes then i won't get another phone from sony,
i like changes and improvements not staying in the past,
i am pretty sure xperias can perform way beter as they do now,
somehow i can't even watch a full hd movie in "mkv 10bit flac audio" in mx player, it lagss,
even my samsung galaxy s6 edge+ do beter and play lag free and it is even older than this xperia x performance , older as in release date,
i realy started to like sony because the good sounding mdr-100abn headphone
but the phones, well it trows me off if you ask me,
and why the heck do you guys still use lcd, i mean every brand is swapping to led,
so much beter in colors and more power saving
aslo such big phones and so tiny screen, the xperia x performance is nearly as large as my samsung galaxy s6 edge+ and so a tiny screen in it,
tbh , how ? i mean the email dont accept large messages like this,
also i noticed sony use alot storage for its rom compare to samsung, with a few apps installed i already used 3.65gb on apps while i have more apps on samsung and only use 2.43gb, i dont know why but sony is full of hidden bloat , how would one be able to put lossless music on it with that tiny storage, ok the adventages is the microsd card but still
