Although Sony's mobile business has been facing many problems lately, the Japanese giant is still struggling to remain a relevant presence on the US market. Announced earlier this year and on pre-order since June, the Xperia X lineup is now finally available for purchase. However, only three models can be purchased right now - Xperia X, Xperia X Performance, Xperia XA - with the others coming later this month as well.

All three handsets mentioned above have a 5-inch screen and come loaded with Android Marshmallow. The most affordable one is the MediaTek MT6755-powered Xperia XA, which has 2 GB of memory and a 13 MP Main camera. The Xperia X and Xperia X Performance are more expensive, but they also use Qualcomm Snapdragon processors and have 3 GB of memory and a 23 MP main camera.

B&H Photo has the handsets in stock and ready to ship. The prices are these: $279.99 USD for the Xperia XA, $549.99 USD for the Xperia X, and $699.99 USD for the Xperia X Performance.
