NWZ-X1051F

NWZ-X1051F

The NWZ-X1051F is a color variant within the premium X Series Network Walkman. It maintained identical technical capabilities to the base 16 GB model. It offers 16 GB storage for MP3, AAC-LC (non-DRM), WMA (non-DRM), and Linear PCM files, with WQVGA OLED display, 33/9-hour Li-Ion battery, touchscreen, Wi-Fi, noise cancellation, direct USB, WM-PORT, video/photo playback, S-Master amplifier, and DSEE, including OneSeg and browser support.

The FM-equipped X1051F is a good example of Sony trying to keep the X line modern and premium without losing the old instinct for making players feel self-contained. FM does not redefine the X Series, but it does show Sony still thinking like a Walkman company even inside a much more smartphone-adjacent product.
