Yep. I compared the three for lulz, so everyone can make up their own mind.

We are in mid 2020 so late 2015 or early 2016 is kinda the same.
As for the rest, lighter and thinner doesn’t impact performance. XA2 has much faster SOC and newer software, but again, it’s still a 2 and a half year old budget phone.

My XperiaX is starting to show battery end-of-life symptoms, nowdys it hardly holds up to a whole day and drops to 10% around the late evening. (telegrame is what's eating the batery most)

Could people who have done DIY battery repairs give some pointers to where to order the battery and the extra bits needed for the repair? (It seems to need some special sticky tape and so on...)

It is easiest the best SFOS phone I have had and wojld be shame to scrap ot just for the flat battery... :eek:

Unfortunately the problem is mostly with SFOS itself on X and X compact. I saw tremendous gains in battery life and performance when I restored the device to android Oreo.
So as the battery is getting older, it’s going to be really hard to use it as a daily driver with SFOS.

i have both (XA2 Plus), and i never noticed the image quality was better on the X...

Re: Sailfish OS (officially) on Sony Xperia devices
 

Indeed SFOS consumes a bit more power than android, however having battery last for 3 days is good enough for me, having it go flat in a day is a bit too short :p

I have had the device for something like four or five years and the battery lasted very well until just this last year it started running down faster.

For my daily usage as a primary smartphone I couldn’t get half a day with SFOS, so your battery life looks amazing to me [emoji28]

Re: Sailfish OS (officially) on Sony Xperia devices
 

So I guess you use android apps? I have of course purged all android-related stuff from the device; that helps to get better uptime.

& ebay, of course
Please do keep us informed, you're not alone trying to keep an xperia x alive.

Re: Sailfish OS (officially) on Sony Xperia devices
 

Thanks, I already checked the instructions and mostly I'd like to know where to get the needed materials easiest/cheapest. In addition to the battery it needs the special tape to fix the backplate back to place after the repair. (and possibly the tape which keeps the battery in place, too?)
