I just received the Xperia X (usa version). When I go into a specific building that has bad reception my Xperia Z5 always was able to work fine and get internet. The Xperia X won't receive calls and the internet just hangs. Does the X Performance have a better signal strength and antenna or is this just an anomaly of the Xperia X?

X has cat6. Perofrmance has cat9.

However that's a speed connectivity comparison & not necessarily a connection advancement, I maybe wrong.



The 2 main features that the Perofrmance has over X is... Cat9 & the 820cpu
I've XP and z3c,XP has significant worse signal strength than z3c, I'm using z3c again and will not go back to XP. It's really first time I'm too disappointed with Sony. Probably my last ever

I just made a test today, in network settings i set in favorit network wcdma instead of LTE and it work better, less gsm lost. This test make me mind it's a software issue... I hope !

I'm having the same issue with the LTE reception on my x performance.
Most of the time i get no bars at all. And mobile data is a lot slower than my galaxy s5 before.

No good - T-Mobile & AT&T

Comment with newest firmware as of 27 September 2016
----------------------

I am pretty disappointed by the performance of this Sony X "Performance" regarding signal strength.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S6 next to it at a window and the X Performance gets a regular 60% slower performance than the S6 next to it that was released a year before.

I have tried it with both T-Mobile and AT&T in the same location.

I believe it to be a software issue at this point. Why do Sony phones these days have these terrible game ending problems?
