TomSeo, 09 Jan 2018Sony is the only brand that do effort in it’s midrange segm... moreSorry but i cant understand design elements. If there are 2 boxes on the table and one have one curved corner then it's somewhat more beautiful and more greater design then just a box ?

Every phone in today is looking just the same box with just a different brand name on them.
Cause it has the sharp corners it is different then others but it's not a quality. And i never want my self a sharp corner phones anymore. I had them on Lumia 830 and sometimes i missed calls cause i didnt get the phone out of the pocket fast enough cause thanks to these sharp corners the phone got stuck in fabric.

It's not a hater comment and everyone who sees it this way is to blinded by fan-ism

    AnonD-243573, 08 Jan 2018Please explain "Sony is pricey" experession you used... XA1... moreSamsung is also pricey so you dont need to mention Samsung.
    J5 2017 cost like A1 from xiaomi and j5 is much slower with mucch lover diskspace worse camera plastic and so. Just a bad phone like almost everything with Samsung sticker on it.
    Only good (litterary) is price but in this gcase with my expresion means very expensive.

      AnonD-243573, 08 Jan 2018Please explain "Sony is pricey" experession you used... XA1... moreHello my boy :-)
      To fix you your Sony XZ1 cost aproximetly same as Xiaomi A1.
      But for a Same price Xiaomi uses much faster Snapdragon offers 4 GB ram bigger Sony have only 3GB ram and slow mediatek procesor, and better display, much better and bigger battery 2300 of Sony vs 3080 of A1.
      And a 64GB diskspace compared to 32 GB of Sony XA1.
      So its pricey and you compare crap VS a beast which A1 truly is.

        Anonymous, 09 Jan 2018So the A8 outruns Apple in pricing? Ok let‘s have a look at... moreMan 6s and Se are 2 years old models and when they were unweiled it were flagships with a much different price as you described.
        Apple dont do midrangers apart from Iphone 5C which was only a little bit cheaper than 5S.
        Donno what you comparing but get facts together then write something.

                  Kung fu hustle, 09 Jan 2018Always same, same old same old small screen small battery..... moreYour’re clearly an uneducated man in mobile industry atleast, small what? Don’t you think that 3000+mah battery can reach 100hr of GSMBattery rating (just take a look at XA1Plus)
                  Small screen? Can you please tell me how big do you want? Bezels, those bezels is just average for 2018 atleast for now just do a little research and you would know...
                  I’m not great in english but damn your low english skills is so obvious. Before you critize someone or something, just take a look at yourself first.

                    TomSeo, 09 Jan 2018Ow you must be kidding with the 2016 and 2017 versions but ... moreyes i'm right.
                    you can compare it by yourself.
                    s6 with a5 2016
                    and s7 (the flat version) with a5 2017.

                    that is samsung's strategy. create new design for the s series first, and reuse the design for the a series that come after it

                      Sony is the only brand that do effort in it’s midrange segment just look at the design from Xperia M5 to this XA2 it’s a midrange but it’s design is very unique and flagship looking lol.
                      (Just don’t reply if you REALLY hate boxy design, you will never appreciate Xperia design language) ow wait and samsung too with the A82018 series it is a flagship looking mid-ranger with a price of a flagship! with no 4Kvideo recording, and i think it doesn’t even have 120fps video recording(correct me if i’m wrong)

                        AnonD-690051, 09 Jan 2018A5 2016 uses S6's design. A5 2017 usss S7's design. and A... moreOw you must be kidding with the 2016 and 2017 versions but i would agree with the A8 2018... everything in 2016 and 2017 lineup from samsung looks almost the same with a just a little difference with the curveture and camera placement. Plus! Sony did that with the M4Aqua and M5 from the design of the Z3.

                          you understand the pattern? samsung A series copy the design from the previous flagships. Samsung give more care to their users.

Now Sony has trimmed the bezel which is as not thick as that Nokia 8 or iPhone 8.


                            Despite the 18:9 trend, Sony and Nokia will never go for that trend. 16:9 and bezelless display is the best!!!!

                              They expected these mid rangers and a low end device to compete with the likes of the Galaxy S9/S9+ in terms of design, hence why the criticism.

                              If commenting without knowing first could kill, many people here would be dead by now. Glad we are the true survivors! :D

                                XA2 - 74.89%
                                XA2Ultra - 76.6%

                                Honor7X - 77%
                                Galaxy A8(2018) - 75.6%
                                Galaxy A8+(2018) - 75.43%

                                Nokia 8 - 69.4%

                                For the haters who just hate Sony.... those are the screen to body ratio’s of phones mention above. I do think haters just mention it’s “BIG BEZELS” because the XA2 series is a great phone and they can’t think any insulting other than it’s “BIG BEZEL”

                                Tip for haters.... mention it’s THICKNESS 9+mm instead of insulting it with it’s “BIG BEZELS” lols hahahaha

                                  I don't get the hate. If bezels are the problem, then they shouldn't be finding it on a mid ranger. Even Samsung's Galaxy A8 2018 devices have larger bezels than their flagships.

                                  True evolution of Xperia design will be seen at the XZ flagship that will be announced at MWC 2018, named 'Mirai.' I guess that design will hopefully stop all these nonsense talk of sh*t.

                                    Anonymous, 09 Jan 2018So the rumors about improved design were false ;(What are you saying??
                                    The rumours came out true. Design is indeed improved. Or are you misinterpreting the definition?
                                    Because if you were expecting a completely bezel less design, then it's considered "change" instead of improved; two words have different meanings.

                                      Redmi 5 Plus is just an inferior device to the XA2.
                                      Not only does it carry the brand reputation and quality, but by using the phones themselves, there's really just an unexplainable feeling of Xperias that other devices just simply couldn't offer. That, a good feeling, of course.

                                        Those people even accused me of being paid by Sony for being a defendant here when clearly I ain't. I'd wish to be a Sony product promoter, but I am not yet in the right age to do it.
                                        I only do multiple replies to those who hate on Sony because I always feel like they are underestimating and under-appreciating something. If these trolls never really existed, Sony would get way more attention than they are getting now.
