06 May 2017

          On 2011 my brother bought Sony w8 as a gift on my graduation and till today its still working not even went to service center but on 2015 I bought myself Sony e4g and gave it to my sis on 2016 then I buy gionee f103 which last only 4 months and the screen crack because I slip and it fell from my hand and on 5Jan 2017 I bought ZenFone 3 max mainly because it has fingerprint and 4100mah battery but twice it went to service center because both times I opened Bluetooth and now I'm still using w8 as backup.so on June2 I bought xa1 without looking at other phone specs as the shopkeepers are giving so many options on 20k range and till now no touch problem occurs and I'm satisfied don't know about future.

                              North waterproof
                              When you compare the battery life threatening a3 2016 and 2017 would oppress it a lot

                              Xa might have a faster processer but less efficient
                              Heats up more than the a3
                              The xa1 has overcome most of these issues but the a3 2017 is a more premium phone

                                  I'm using a previous-gen model, the XA. And I have to say, I love it. I love the design, I love the way the phone feels in my hand. Two things that could be improved are battery and quantity of RAM. Now that XA1 is better, I'm sure I'll get it as an upgrade. Just have to wait until the price drops. Bought my XA for 180$, which I think was a bargain (in Poland).
