Sonyuser85, 25 Aug 2017You show yourself irresponsible to tell me I am blind suppo... moreYes, the device is spectacular no doubt. I love the its design, camera is a mixed bag, sometimes gives good results and sometimes the results are poor. Display is great, despite being 720p, especially when comparing with my other smartphone with 1080p, i don't see any diff. But when i turn the super vivid mode on its video quality blows all the 1080p displays out of the water.
But there are two things which i don't like,
(1) "VoLTE" which the chipset already supports but the company is too lazy to make an update to enable it. My other phone got the VoLTE update just few days after my operator switched to VoLTE but SONY is giving excuses.
(2) Battery life isn't that good, yes i know after many updates Batt life has improved but not that much, it gives 4.5 hours of SoT on light usage with stamina mode on but when watching youtube for about 1.5 hours the battery percentage came down from 90% to 10%

Mind your frustrations and while trying to denigrate a person that had many experiences with Sony devices, better try and flash your phone with the latest firmware.
Once again, if you care about optimizing the device, then you have a perfect device for its price. So stop responding as some ignorants but start optimizing it, this device is great!

Thats what the XA is for, that's why it's cheap, please don't expect the XA to be a flagship cause it's not, I own a XA although its not perfect it's still a good phone :)

I Wish I had come across this site before buying my Sony XA Dual Phone. mine just switches off for hours whenever it feels like. I noted many comments regarding the battery life but it cant just be the battery there must be something else really amiss with this cell phone. I Have never seen it going on battery empty or at least below 50% it just switches off and then takes 3hours or more of charging to switch back on. Its entirely frustrating and I am totally disappointed by the brand.

Let me tell you I have a friend working in a electronics national service. Most defective motherboards are under the cover of Samsung and mostly on low-mid devices. Sony in most cases are having troubles because of bad shocks or water/milk/yogurt leakage (low-mid devices - no waterproof). But by from software and from so called multitasking and from warming only Samsung has the lead in silent deaths. Remember the in-house made N7 batteries? Without Sony components in their devices, Samsung were still crap. That friend of mine had hundreds of Samsung laptops burned, blown hard drives, rotten DDR memories, all by (some beloved) Samsung.
Sony XA have indeed problems only at bad physical maintaining. But make irresponsible assumptions for irresponsible people like you.

OK so you told all the issues were solved and so maybe I'll have 2 more screen hours like Samsung with n? great! I will let you know if it's true! Sorry if you didn't like the way I responded you but it's the second time you call people complaining here fool not smart enough to use Sony and that's disrespectful and untrue. You have to be extremely careful to have a decent battery life : no games, low brightness, data and Wi-Fi off whenever you're not using them!? it's a smartphone and everybody now communicates with social media more than calls and messages! so it will be like having your phone off.., don't use 4g kills the battery, etc). People of course hate that and definitely don't expect it from a 2016 phone and also knowing Sony announced a 2 days battery for this phone and I remember perfectly that sticker in the screen saying that when I bought it!) A good one yes agree the camera is great no complaints but another bad the ram administration dude.. isn't good 5 or more apps running and they restart everytime you switch into the others although is a 2 GB ram phone..
I envy you, your love for Sony is as great as your patience but don't expect everybody to have it. Some of us tried different companies and compare and the balance is poor. All good just different opinions. Good night from Argentina !

After using alcohol (perfume), the hard stains go away and my camera image quality became great again! Agreed with the toothpaste though, dont ever use it as the lens tint will come out and can cause very white overexposed images. Just make sure rub it gently using alcohol, dont force it.

1. If the lens cover is not badly damaged use LCD screen cleaners (some glass lens cleaners are also great). Caution is needed using alcohol cleaner for plastic covers because it can do more damage (sadly XA have plastic glass cover for camera lens)!
2. If the lens cover is badly damaged/scratched you need to use also a special cleaner and also a best quality scotch band too. Never use toothpaste or something like that as many careless youtubers do.
So take care!
