Mystery phone revealed: Sony Xperia X's front-facing camera shoots great selfies

We came up with a puzzle for you to solve yesterday and here’s the answer – the 13MP image was captured with the front-facing camera of the Sony Xperia X (sans Performance, but the two cameras are actually identical).
