              Secondly, processor may be better but display? No way, I'll take AMOLED over IPS LCD ANYDAY, and I really don't care about 4K vídeo recording, X Compact don't even record 4K anyway, it's limited to 1080p, the A5 is IP68 certified, the X Compact not.

                    Some also said that it fails to auto focus.xperia xa1 as mid range ismuch better than A5 specially on camera.

Of course you would be getting more from the A5, it costs $400, and it justifies the price premium. But for $300, this is as good as mid-rangers can get.

Maybe you should try a phone that has a more decent processor than the SII's Exynos 4210. Just go and try it before bashing. I have the original A5, and the only problem I have is the battery (2300 mAh).

                                        There is consistent negativity made on Sony posts. Apple has similar big bezels on top and bottom, but you don't hear a word about that. This tells me there are people getting paid to comment on here to sway the publics views. Samsung was found out to pay college students to AstroTurf.
