    AnonD-449300, 25 Jan 2018Why this brand has so much haterPeople have expectations and would like to see products that compete but sony failed to deliver in latest time so people bash them as their models look alike and gave them problems subpar cameras, heat issues, lack of updates, thus people are interested to see a more interested sony

      Anonymous, 08 Jan 2018ISO 12800 is not useless. You will need if you somewher... moreIt could be useful if they used stacking. Also 1s is poor for shoting, imagine how great shot would be with at least 4 if not 10 seconds. Its as opposed to pro shooting - long exposures in stead of high iso. I also use iso even more than shutter speed, if not together(and it is away in menu). This is in no way good pro mode, be it this or flagships. Artificial noise as bonus. So ISO is actually last thing to be happy about.

        Sony always have better design, we can see these 3 just have less bezel and still practical to grip, they don't design a critical to grip bezel-less design.
        The material of use show it volume and quality.
        Increases the battery capacity is great but I really hope they invent new battery to change phone lighter but still have massive battery capacity in future.

                  why u guys still arguing to each others?
                  well.. those phones are really ugly especially with the back-placed fps. This new design is inspired by china phones

                      Keep going.. reading your comments is a joy. It's like watching kids fighting over a chocolate. You people need a life, like asap.
                      It's Sony no it's samsung and features and.. god. Nerds..

                        Foxtrot2Novmbr, 14 Jan 2018You placed your phone on top of the wireless charging dock ... moreIf your explanation is towards to Samsung, I will believe because some of the Samsung flagships cannot charging when the battery depleted.

                        Either the wire in side the cover or out side is not a problem because most of the people still using USB for charging, they don't think the USB slot is out side or inside, so don't try to give any untrustworthy negative opinion to Sony.

                                      I would like to see a battery life comparison between the XA2 and the XA2 Ultra. Personally, I doubt an extra 280mAh of battery capacity on the Ultra will be enough to compensate for the additional power drain from the 6 inch (0.8 inch bigger than the XA) screen.

                                      If my prediction is correct, then which of the two phones you choose depends on whether you believe paying the extra $100 is worth it for a bigger screen, 1Gb more RAM and the dual front-facing cameras. While sacrificing pocket-friendliness and one-handed operation.

                                      In fact, I think the XA2 will have a far superior battery life than the XA2 Ultra.

                                      The XA2 Ultra's battery life should also be compared to the similarly specced HTC U11 Plus. 3580mAh on Snapdragon 630 vs 3930mAh on Snapdragon 835. Let's see how much Sony's proprietary battery-saving technology closes the gap.

                                        Foxtrot2Novmbr, 14 Jan 2018LOL! I'm referring to you as SONNY! Which means a sony fanb... more"Why did you tell me the features that sony has compared to samsung?" U should forward this message to the other Sony fanboys, and not me, I don't compare others and bash them, I am not one of those who bash at SAMSUNG, for real
