Sony Xperia XA2 review

26 January 2018
Sony may be looking beyond smartphones but the Xperia line is still standing its ground. The recently unveiled Xperia XA2 series is not only a statement of persistence, but also shows intent for expansion. And the Xperia XA2 bodes well for Sony's new generation of smartphones this season.

    Is this an another failure model like Sony XA1 which has manufacturing defect on screens at the edges?
    Has anyone used this model XA2 without such problems? Please reply.

        I just read the review. Very good. But one thing is not clear for me. And it is very important because I am planning to buy this phone. Is the voice quality during the phone calls (without headphones) good or bad? I would highly appreciate if someone could confirm.

            Most of the people here might not even tested the phone yet with their own eyes and fingers.

            Lightweight Sony version of Android on top of Oreo is a great welcome on this low midrange phone. Even Samsung more premium midrange such like Samsung Galaxy A8+ didn't get Oreo out of the box.

            Fingerprint scanner on every Sony phones starting 2018 is a right direction unlike other major OEM who is still selling their entry level and lower midrange category without fingerprint scanner.

                  Anonymous, 31 Jan 2018Now of that was logical at allOkay, If the phone is small is very handy, but if it is a large and long screen phone when you pull down the notification bar will force you to stretch your thumb meanwhile the smartphone have the chance to drop off from your hand.

Anyway it also won't bother with me, S8 User. I have Sonyericsson K700 drop many times but never restart or boot looping even my Xperia Z2 also stay strong meaning never bootlooping, but the Samsung S2 can do the bootloop automatically, I don't know if Samsung Young is military grade why S2 not a military grade lol.

It survived dozens of drops, and is basically indestructible. Really a quality that you just can't trust... xD

                                You might want to check your bias before praising

                                  Does anybody know if Sony enabled the "Night Light"-Feature in this handset? Other Oreo-based Sony devices seem to be missing this feature when checking popular online forums which is very sad, cause I like this feature very much.

                                  Thanks!

                                    I never mentioned s5. I was refering to note 3 if i remeber correctly.
                                    Yes. You already said first front cam was sony. And i said forst cam was samsung.
