My Xpreria X Performance will be here on Thursday

[Dconn1975]

It's taking forever waiting until Thursday for my X Performance. The first thing I'm going to do to mine is flash the European firmware on it to enable the fingerprint sensor. Has anyone done that to their X or X Performance yet? If so how's the fingerprint sensor. The guy I bought it from is super nice and he's going to step me through the process of flashing it to enable the fingerprint sensor. I don't think I could use a phone these days without a fingerprint sensor now. So that's my first thing that I'm going to do when it arrives on Thursday. My past one the regular X model I never enabled the fingerprint sensor so I'm unfamiliar with Sony's fingerprint software. Hoping it's fast and easy and more so the process of flashing the European firmware on it. Anyways just another day and half and I'll join the club. Looking forward to doing a little mini review write up on the X Performance.

On the X, the fingerprint reader is uber fast. You'll like it.

Awesome!! What do you have the international version or the US version that you have flashed with the European firmware?

I paid a premium for the International F5121.

Oh really. They are more expensive? I thought it was the other way around.

Pretty sure it was more for the international on Amazon than the US/CA version. That was a few months ago though.

That's interesting as I've always seen the international models being cheaper than the US models due to the lack of warranty from the international models.

I'm excited to get mine tomorrow. I'm going to flash the European firmware to it to enable the fingerprint sensor then download the Amazon video apk file to get ready to watch Thursday night football live stream from Amazon video prime. This will my ultimate test for my new phone to see if I can comfortably watch a football game on it even though it has a 5 inch screen. I know I can watch movies as I remember watching several on my X model I used to have but a football game will be a good test for clarity and so on. I am also happy to see that Amazon offers Thursday night live NFL football to prime members. That's huge and my X Performance Will be used to watch it tomorrow night!

I got my X Performance in and the seller tried to take me or scam me as he sent me a defective device! I was so mad at him that he paid for shipping back to him plus he gave me the 10 dollar swappa fee. Here's what my screen looked like when I turned it on. So I ended finding a brand new Xpreria X on sale for $199 so I went ahead and bought it instead. I'll have to see If I'm going to keep it or not as I had my heart set on the X Performance.
