Dingo boy, 03 Oct 2021Sound is weak. Only my dog can hear the speakers on this.Dogs basically hear way better than humans so go get a hearing test and get diagnosed with profound hearing loss

Its good phone, i bought it 2 years ago secondhand for only 110€, still working perfect, i dont see any change in battery life-lasting me more than one day, using internet, no games. I dont even have any protection on displey and no scratch, using only silikon poach for protection, the phone is very slippery. Great design, thanks Sony

I have only had the Sony experia XA a few weeks 2nd hand. My only complaint is, that it takes a long time to fire up. When you turn it on. Seems to take for ever. To even get to the android logo. 😐

Fred, 19 Apr 2018The pictures are not great. Color is a bit unreal.Overall the Sony Xperia XA is a very reliable phone. However the photo quality deteriorates over time.

xXENDER FREAKXx, 24 Jun 2017Heavy use is definitely not going to have very good battery... moreThe only great weakness of this device is Mediatek. Sadly it's another story than its long lasting Snapdragons. But still what Sony did from Mediatek's is simply amazing!

Hi everybody, I took a pause commenting here because of a change I have made in my personal life. Now I’m back.
So among other things I did, I met my cousin from a pause of few years and he saw my XA device and he was very interested about how I maintained it and how this device felt in its hands (I kept it very clean and did upgrade it to latest Android 7.0 - 33.3.A.1.97 – that is a maximum and best upgrade to it till now) and I gave it to him (he had an Iphone 5C model until now). I was testing XA1 with my friend at his repair service company for a while and I was so pleasantly surprised by its capabilities.
Cpu, memory, camera, design, and Android Oreo scheduled upgrade, plus having now a special free contract offer from an electronics dealer, made me decide to give my XA as a present to my cousin (he like it very much overall) and I ordered for myself the XA1 model.
As a conclusion to all that want and still have the possibility to buy and enjoy the Xperia XA mode, please take note:
*This device is perfect for daylight photography (at least after latest Nougat upgrade even better than any Samsung at its class at least) and for any task that do not exceed its 2gb of ram limitation, it can manage everything from offline gps to some interesting games.
*Take care of it installing good/compatible software, don't flash/root it if you don't know best how this operation works (Mediatek motherboards are very bad comparing to Qualkomm ones at changing Kernel and other stuff like that) erase/stop bloatware and keep a good physical maintain (not too much humidity nor dust) and for sure nothing bad will happen to it.
*Of course, the battery remain a weak point for it, but for a price tag under 200 euros it's for sure best Mediatek device available on the market.
This is among few Mediatek cheap jewels. Good luck!
