So many haters in every Sony article. They can't confuse me. I will go for Sony as even my Z3 works fine till now.

    Anonymous, 04 Nov 2017You expect us to believe that when the phone has a tiny 270... moreWhen i'm using my XA in school (7am to 4pm)
    I usually go home with my battery almost dead (15% to 5%) coz i'm a heavy user, then i recently bought the XA1,
    now i go home from school with the battery percentage of 35% to 45% with same heavy use like gaming.
    The XA and XA1 has the same 2300 battery and the XA1 proves that battery capacity is not the matter.

      Still.. The Xperia XA series is capable of handling the Oreo.

US carriers are even worst when it comes to bloatware.

                All you fboys can dwell in your ignorance, doesnt matter to me.
                Real Xperia users know what Im talking about.

Even Zack roasted S8 when doing durability test on XZP .

                    Bluetooth, radio, dlna, mirrorlink, aptx, cloud print, drm, face lock, live wallpapers, NFC, talkback, GPS, vpn : ALL deleted from my phone.
                    Out of 274 system apks im down to 60 and counting.
                    Pure bloatware.

                              Anonymous, 04 Nov 2017So stupid comments in here... this is not about Sony or the... moreAbsolutely true, in android world, only sony, nokia and google are good in software and os updates. They put hardwork in updates section to make their customers feel satisfied with their products unlike other companies just want profit only.

Until now I wonder who are the ones who always start the fight? Oh yeah, haters

                                    I don't know why haters spreading hates toward sony. I'm sony, Samsung and Huawei fanboy. But those three brands, sony is the best so far because sony's phones get software and android updates from sony and it resolved bugs and increase performance. Yahhh i know sony lacks in camera department but in other aspacts are great tho and i think it's better than any flagship phone this year. Samsung and huawei is good tho but they are lack in updates and sometime it made me so frustated because no software or firmware updates for fixing bugs but other than that is great. Those are my opinions and thoughts. I hope sony can improves their camera department.

                                      So stupid comments in here... this is not about Sony or their phones. It is about Android upgrades...

                                      This is excelent article that tell about what is needed to get os upgrade. It does not matter what company wil do the update. There is a lot of work to do! This article should get pinned...

                                      It Also tells why so Many company does not take care of updates. Too much work, too Little income (aka none) to compensate the work.

                                      I personally honor all companies that take care of updates. And there Are not Many.
                                      Apple, Sony, HMD (new Nokia), Google pixels, and... well that is it mainly. All other upgrades their flagships and not anything else, or the support is very short time version... Motorola used to be great in the past, but after Lenovo bought the company the support has gon downhill.

                                      I personally support those companies that support their customers!
