While many of us are still waiting for the Xperia X2, one lucky member of XDA-Developers has received his retail Xperia X2. To say he was impressed with it, would be an understatement. He’s unboxed the phone for us and provided a video of the unboxing. With the video he’s also provided various photos and very detailed information about the handset, almost a review. He explains that the box is smaller than that of the X1. Inside the box there’s a 4GB card, 1500mAh battery, which is the same as the X1, along with the regular cables and a TV out cable.

Overall, his first impressions of the handset are superb. The build quality is described as being much better than the X1 and any “HTC plastic phone”, with the phone having a metal finish all round making it feel very solid to use. Despite the metal exterior, the handset is actually lighter than the X1 and thinner but is slightly bigger.

You can see the unboxing video below. After the jump you can view the SlideView UI and a sample video taken with the X2 at full resolution.
