This is an excellent phone. After one month of using it, here's my opinion about XA:
+ The design feels premium. I love the bezel-less display and the shiny metal frame. The back is very clean and attractive. This phone is also surprisingly thin, but the top and bottom bezels felt empty.
+ The display (although at 720p) is good. The colors are vibrant, and there's Mobile Bravia Engine 2 or Super-vivid mode enhancements to further improve the display. There's also some touchscreen issues that make swiping downward to view notifications fail most of the time.
+ The camera was excellent with object tracking ability (and that camera shutter button). It works best in good lighting conditions, but struggles in low light (as opposed to what Sony advertises). The camera was also sluggish in focusing to a subject giving you blurred shots sometimes. I always take 2 to 3 shots of a subject to get a clear picture. The AR effects were really enjoyable.
+ Sound is also good, but you might need to use earphones when viewing Youtube videos because the speaker is very quiet even at MAX volume. When listening to Music and Videos, the speaker is clear and the loudness is acceptable. Turn on ClearAudio+, Dynamic Normalizer, and set your Headphone settings for best results (MH410 was the earphones provided with the device).
+ The performance is smooth, but there's some sluggishness in navigation. The phone can handle most games easily, but it also somewhat hates being used in gaming (the phone heats up after some time and drains battery relatively fast). Updating the phone to the latest version takes half of your internal storage so a microSD card is necessary.
+ Lastly, the battery is okay depending on usage. My phone lasts for 9-12 hours of normal usage, and 2-6 hours of heavy usage. When I don't have classes I turn on Airplane mode and the phone lasts for about 1.5 days. If you want to increase battery life, turn on Stamina mode all the time. The phone also charges fast with the provided charger.
Tip: Install apps from Sony Mobile in Play Store. You can get there the Audio Recorder app, Motion Shot, Background Defocus, Themes, AR effects, Style Portrait effects and others.

Rafii, 10 Dec 2016Hello, i will buy a phone, but stuck in sony XA and sony M5... moreMe too! M5 have better specs. but will don't get the update to 7.0 (nougat) because of google policy.. Anyway, 7.0 will come to Xa. If you want to have allways, the last official update, maybe you will choose Xa. You can get nougat on M5 via custom roms but one is official and other is a port (maybe with some bugs...).
In my case, I think I will go for Xa...
