That's it. For a smartphone with $500 pricing, you must get a better camera and other features.
The Snapdragon 650 processor could have been a bit better here. It looks like so-so. But couldn't that have been better?
23MP rear camera looks humongous really. Moreover, the secondary camera is also a healthy 13MP. On some phones, the 13MP camera is the primary one.
There are dozens of phones where you'll find 13MP camera as a primary one, but then you also have to keep in mind the cost of those phones. Such devices are in the mid-segment range.
$499.99 for the Xperia X Compact? Well, it's without the discount, right?
Yup. There's no offer or any discount as of now. But if I am not wrong, Amazon had offered some discount earlier.
