    this device is actually just a little bit bigger than the xa which had enormous looking bezels but after a few months, you will not notice these bezels. But, as an xa owner, I cant help but question why the bigger bezels as if the rounder corners of the xa actually helps. Now, sharper rectangular corners on the xa1 which is disappointing at best.

      Only problem with the device is THE 2300Mah battery, I mean it should have been at least 2700 mah, the phone must be looking good (I did like the original xa side bezels), and mediatech processor just closes the deal immediately after that, was looking for a midrange phone with good camera, nevertheless

                It would be nice if it had stereo speakers.

                      That's pretty great for the price range. But still I'd much rather pay more for the slightly smaller Z5 Premium, currently going for $420 at amazon. It looks stunning, like nothing else.

                          Yuck mediatek.
                          Why Sony?

                            I will be buying the XZ Premium but I have to admit that the bezels on the XA1 are ridiculous.

                                    high price tag is one Sony's major problem, this phone shouldn't be more than $149.99. they can't always be charging premium price for each dummy... just because it's SONY XPERIA. cut that giant bezels and increase the battery capacity of your smartphones.
