I just got my new Xperia X from Deutsche Telekom. Everything works fine but settings > lock screen & security > encryption shows Encrypted.
Does that make sense?

obviously on branded phones the encryption is still there even after reseting. what about the unbranded ones?
are they also encrypted even after a reset?

This is the info we have:
All Xperia devices released with Androidâ„¢ 6.0 (Marshmallow) and onward are encrypted by default since this was made mandatory by Googleâ„¢.

ok, accepted. But why is this not valid for the Z5 series e.g. ? They are delivered with "Android 6.0 onwards", too. Recently shipped Z5 series phones with Android 6.0.1 at T-Mobile are not encrypted by default.

@sgiesen78 It is valid for phones launched after the MM software update was launched.

Encryption slows down the device, unless you have the updated hardware. I think Sony/Google did the blanket decision that everything ships with 6.0 onwards have it encrypted by default, regardless of whether the hardware is there or not.
Just encrypt! I was worried about read performance on my previous M5, and did a benchmark, not much difference between unencrypted and encrypted. I assume Z5 will not have any difference as well.

Hello,
I ave a question about encryption. The first days of the phones usage (Xperia X) when rebooting or powering on I would be asked for the password before loading the OS, this is no longer happeing......is this normal?
In settings says encrypted but its greyd out.
