I told you, I don't care about the other devices, you are writing us like if we need to buy a new device, I am more than happy with my Xperia XA.
I don't care about the battery life, as long as you have a daily schedule, your device should last you from morning till night(I usually have 35%-50% arriving home with moderate usage of socials app and music)
The design is so sexy I don't care about any other models to come(except for futuristic xperia in 2 years to come after my contract is done.)
I bought my phone 0$(2 year term) and my monthly plan is awesome, I have nothing to complain.
If you were using your own earphones to listen to music in the sony app, you can play with the equalizer to uplift your sound quality.(I always use clearaudio)
Our screen is edge to edge as the xperia XA bezzle is less that 0.5' into the edges. So yes it is nice as it gives an allure of curved screen.(so sexy)
I will always support sony.
You can go ahead and read all my previous post, oh and please don't try to persuade us to go toward another device or another company as I will always be a sony fan.(if there is anybody that want to get another device they will know so...)

Hi guys! I just called my operator so they set my cell 'free' with no operator I got the code everything OK. Now I would like to put a firmware from Argentina my country but without operator so I will get the updates faster so won't have to wait till my company releases every update. Have anybody here done that? Do you know how to do it?

£225 SIM free. On EE for £129+£10 top up locked... Was on Vodafone at £119.. Even at that exceptional price, you can get the Moto G4 play, for £75+£10 top up. Now, the G4 may lack the octacore processor, only have an 8Mp camera...But the screen is just as good...Even if not edge to edge, and performs in most respects in reality just as well. If you take the SIM free price here, well..You can have the Lenovo P2 with its 5.5" amoled display, 4Gb ram, 32Gb storage, fingerprint reader you name it for £199 at Three store... It's dual SIM, unlocked to all networks and makes the XA at £225 seem priced well above its worth.

If you want the positive points, ok...I like the default screen colour temperature, many say too cold...But I think it's spot on. The audio from headphone socket is very reasonable, so too the bundled earphones...If you get them in the retail pack in your region. Cameras, excellent. The object tracking option is first rate. The negative bits though, like battery life, not being able to set default storage location, weedy speaker...and only 2Gb ram...Are the deal breaker!

Did you guys noticed the phone is very slow to turn on and off? And when the screen is dark turning off, if you touch the screen you can still here the touch sound? If I turned it off some seconds and tied Iturned it on again I can see the lasts apps still in the recent panel.. It's a crazy phone but still love it!

Hey guys yesterday i was emailed to xperia support team regarding sd card as internal storage problem and then i got satisfied reply from them.. check it out guys thats emal... .
Dear Raza,
Thank you for contacting the Sony Xperia support centre.
Our aim is for you to have the best experience while using your phone. This would mean that we want all of our phones to run as fast as they can. If the SD card is used as part of the internal storage then everything loaded onto it would be running slower as the storage cannot be read at the speed the phone would need to access it. Music and photos are fine on the SD card as they do not require the file transfer speeds that Android OS does require and will open without delay in almost all cases. However, there would be a significant delay opening any apps on the phone itself if the information is stored on external storage.
I hope this information has helped you.

Sorry to see that the device is a total rip off for you.
For me its the best device I ever had in my life.
I don't care about the weak speaker, I barely use it.
Lack of gorilla glass, ahahaha we have a scratch resistant glass and I added a tempered glass on the screen to make sure that I have double protection(I always clean my device every night.)
Back does get scratched easily,which was one of my major concern when I bought the Xperia XA. So that's why I bought a clear case for my phone to be able and leave it in the case, being able to see the back of the Xperia XA and never take it out !!! ahahaha inform yourself before saying these type of comments.
The asking price does make sense. (250-350 cad) is a really good price for the device and I would be more than happy to pay this price if ever I had to buy this device(got my phone with a 2-year contract, and I go a great plan with the device, nothing to complain.)
You can go ahead and look for the Lenovo P2 and Huawei p8 lite 2017, one reason most of us are in this page is either we are an owner of the Xperia XA and are looking for solutions in some of the devices issues or we are just reviewing the device. I am not here to go look at others devices as Sony has been loyal to its clients.
I have never been deceived of sony since I first had my playstation 1(fat model) until now my Xperia XA.
It is for sure I will keep supporting Sony and I will never go with another company if we are talking devices(I written in my past comments, I have been with nokia's, Samsung's, apple's, blackberry's, ZTE, Asus & LG. And by far with all the devices I had, The Zenfone and The Xperia XA are the best devices I ever had in my life.
Please keep in mind that Sony is one of the only company that does not do planned obsolescence for theirs electronics.
Have a great time finding another device Tactic2 !

AnonD-649593, 03 Mar 2017- I bought this phone August of last year but yesterday I b... moreHey Stella Aparicio (f{XK)
So I am sorry to hear that the Xperia XA has deceived you.
So lets start.
1- Your audio headset issue can be relate to the fact that you remove your 3.5mm jack from the hole way too harsh.(happened to me with my Nokia X, I always use to pull out the cable really fast or without care which resulted in bad audio sound or corrupted input. When we remove the jack hardly or without care, it damages the input inside the jack which is used to send you the sound to the earphones.
2-All yours saved files can be backed up with sony xperia back up software, or even plug your device to your pc and transfer everything to your pc, please don't put it on sony's fault that you aren't able to transfers your sensitives files on your computer and back them up(I always back up my documents, music and pictures to my pc in case THIS issue happens to me.)
3-Sony upgrades are good for our software and security patches, inform yourself before saying that they wanted the phone to be upgraded every three month LOL
4-BSO, either you dropped your device, corrupted some majors files and plugins in your hardware or even tried rooting your device or installing some APK that were unsafe to install.
5-The Xperia XA is not even a year old yet ahahahaha stop saying things that aren't true.
I wouldhave love to see another sony fan stay but it seems you will go back to Nokia or Samsungs,( again, as I said in my previous posts, good luck with Samsungs planned obsolescence ahahahahahahaha
To all Xperia XA owners, Have a great weekend !!!

Plus, back can be scratched very easily. It looks a neat handset, but beyond that I'm not impressed... The asking price from Sony is stupidly high...It's not work half the price. Recommend checking out Lenovo P2, or Huawei p8 lite 2017 both similar price but in a different league. This phone is a total rip off!

I'm planning to change my Moto G4 plus with this XA. Can anyone help me with the battery life information about Xperia XA? My phone usage patterns are: I use WhatsApp very frequently have 5/6 active groups, I play COC for 2 hours, listen to music for 1 hour, Facebook for 30 mins, use YouTube for 30 mins and my email/Facebook are synchronised. Also i keep location on always.

- I bought this phone August of last year but yesterday I brought it to their service center and ask if they can repair it. This phone model disappointed me so much. I'm so upset about the audio problem with headset. Since the problem is the hardware itself, all my files saved to it's internal memory will be erase. And Sony wanted the phone to be upgraded every three months. You know what happen to my previous SONY Xperia XA after being upgraded too much, BSO or Black Screen of Death. And the worse is it cannot be repaired since the model is too old. I hope Sony refrains from upgrading their phones too much. Also, after being powered by Android, a lot of bloatwares were unable to uninstall. So all in all, this phone model sucks. I'm planning to go back to Nokia or move to Samsung instead. I'm so pissed of with Sony now.
