I can't find the white paper, where did you find them? 

it doesn't seem that the Xperia X series support 4K video recording.

X Performance white paper still mention it can record video in H.265... so 4K could be an option. I will ask a Sony rep tomorrow at MWC

@almirsahbaz

Thanks 

[ClarkLong]

Having dinner with Sony mobile europe rep, they confirmed that there is no 4K recording for XA/X/X Performance

@ClarkLong

If you still can, could you double check if the housing its polycarbonate or if its actual metal

[ClarkLong]

Sure, I guess you're requesting for the X? 

[Uliwooly]

@ClarkLong

Both X and X Performance 

[ClarkLong]

@uliwooly

Ok I doubled checked at a higher level

XA= Plastic Frame + Polycarbonate back

X= Polycarbonate frame + Metal back

X Performance = Polycarbonate frame + Brushed Metal back
