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.

              Epic comeback for sony this year. Great design, fps, a good mid ranger device with top of the line camera (mid ranger range). Cant wait for their flagship. Used to be Xperian, now i'm a Huawei user, maybe this year sony flagship makes me back to sony.

                For me, it's not the marketing that helps other brands to lead, but the quality and useful features.
                So far sony has only gimmicky features good for marketing (and "spartans" ?) but not needed in day to day use for most people:
                4k on a 5.5" screen, 960FPS, 3D scanning, Play remote, Ar effect, DualShock Connect.

                        Overrated. It only had beastly battery life, fantastic camera and display, great features, and the softwsre is running fine. And you can get it at a discount price now too.

                        Oh glass back. You mean like most sonys were too??
                        And yes. Sony with their constant sudden death.

                                It is common in speed tests that two or more phones stand one by another, so you can actually see which screen looks better by visual experience at least, not just fan babble.

                                  Oathbreaker, 29 Jan 2018For me, it was this or the Xperia X for $230+ from B&H.... moreYup. I just dont understand how people like those phones, I mean, I have friends using them so I can see what its all about....those get really really slow within quite a short amount of time, to the point of asking yourself "what the...?¿"
                                  As if those are only made to perform good on release, and afterwards go into the slowing down spiral of some kind.

                                  Anyways, back to Xperias, Id wait for a rev or two more, as this here XA2 unit has some serious microphone bug in recording video, just hoping its only a QC problem and not an engineering flaw of entire line.

                                    YalokIy, 28 Jan 2018Lol, iphone X has the best screen on the market and s8 is s... moreYou know, you should maybe first give a link to some proffessional test site, claiming by its performed tests, that those 2k oled screens are actually better than that 4k lcd screens, or even FHD lcd screens...

                                    Sonys mobile lcd screens are best on market, with excellent blacks, contrast, viewing angles, nit power, rgb hdr, and most importantly durability sans problems that plague oled screens.
                                    Top tier 4k lcd TVs are still outselling top tier 4k oled TVs by a large amount, and that is the only available relative info about which tech people actually prefer to look at, but there is no available info on which tech is actually better.

                                    Unfortunately, rumors have it that Sony is going to give out an oled option phone too, but given the reports of problems with it, on most oled flagship phones, I only hope Sony will keep its quality lcd phone options too.

                                    Cause, by todays state of affairs, I aint still buying an oled phone until the tech proves worth of money it asks in return.

                                        buying xperia = donating money to sony
