Currently with Flash activated all bets are off on white balance modification for pictures taken with the Sony Xperia X in the native app.
Here are samples with flash on:
While it should look something like:
which looks great because flash is off. With flash and AWB its very very yellow.

Pro Tip: Don't use AWB when using the flash. Set White Balance to Tungsten lighting to get the best exposure and white balance with flash enabled.
I suggest Jolla should make that a default for their camera app at least for the Xperia X (if the driver does not do this or there isn't a setting to force the driver using tungsten when flash is activated)
Tungsten you mean the incandescent lightbulb symbol, ill do a few tests and report back.

The bottom one also works fine but after some more testing the energy-saving bulb one is even better. https://abload.de/img/img_20171212_234723l1jwg.jpg

The current Sailfish X adaption is based on an Open Device build using Linux kernel 3.10 which have an old camera driver with 8 mpx support and white balance issues.
According to the website of the Open Device Program the Xperia X current have two Open devices builds. One based on kernel 3.10 and a newer based on kernel 4.4.
While it's pretty unlikely we'll see a new adaption based on Linux kernel 4.4, I'd be really glad if the camera driver for the current Sailfish X adaption could either be upgraded to the newest one for 3.10 or get backported from 4.4 as this would fix the white balance issues in Sailfish X running on Xperia X.
