      Anonymous, 05 Nov 2017Many people speak about Sony's mobile division shut down. O... moreReminds me of Nokia and Blackberry... hoaxes and FUD as we all remember. /s

        [deleted post]I had XA. It has lower Mediatek cip than XA1. Mediatek MT6755 Helio P10 of XA is a power hunger. Software/ apps settings could do great but not a lot.
        I have now XA1, and Mediatek MT6757 Helio P20 of XA1 is now better than the ex SD-801 but much cheaper than 801. So it's quite a big difference among these two. Both Devices have a great Nougat system optimization.
        Mediatek is a questionable piece of electronics though.

                In fact the cameras on my phone are always covered with black tape or stickers. I never use them. Specially the look at me I'm desperate for attention selfie camera. I look stunning, I don't need anyone's approval on that lame fb.
                I can't delete the contracts as that would more likely get the phone stuck in a bootloop duuhhh
                Just deal with that fact that your precious features are considered by a LOT of other people bloatware.
                And if you'll use your brain a little, you can have ANY feature on your phone by rooting it. Is that too complicated for you?
                Go buy an iPhone if you can't handle android.
