Good as a smallish back up phone (fits in jean pockets).
But beware of buying second hand. Had the same problem with the screen edges as other users

Very happy with the phone, until screen lost sensitivity all round the edges. Not happy needing to replace, but it has progressed from a nuisance to unusable.

Had this phone for about 2 years. Had similar problems to everyone else with the edges of the screen not working, so unable to use parts of the keyboard such as "P". I cannot use the notification dropdown because of the screen issue. The home and back buttons are also very unresponsive.
I've also found the cameras to be pretty bad as well, especially the front camera. Whenver I take a photo it takes around 3 seconds to actually take a photo. The front camera looks blurred and tints yellow despite playing around with the settings.
The phone will also sometimes randomly hang up phone calls. Overall I don't recommend, too many issues.

I did sell my 5 months old silver z5 premium and bought this. Although z5 premium was the flagship of its time but it was launched i think 1-1.5 years later. both having same camera and xa1 was very light in weight. Z5 display was very sharp but not so bright and sometimes i used to put that in refrigerator 😅 because it get heated to that temperature so nobody can touch that. I have changed 2 phones after that and still xa1 is working perfectly fine for exact last 3 years. Faced touch issue earlier but service center rectified that.

Therefore connector not go deep enough. I have had same problem with two phones with USB-C. The dust could be very tight on the bottom of connector, so you can't blow it away. Best tools has been stick, what you use to open sim card holder.

RandyRiffin, 16 Jul 2020Same thing with me. Been dealing with this for a year now. ... moreStarted with the Oreo update for me, same symptoms as everyone i.e edges no longer responding to touch. Sony was pretty unhelpful about it but thankfully it was still under warranty and bought in a store, so they sent it back for screen replacement. They also replaced a speaker part although I'm not sure why. In any case, the phone was fixed and I'm still using it!
The fact that so many people have reported the issue and that some replacements didn't work probably means that a batch or generation of screens was incompatible with Oreo so if your phone has this, not only will you need to change the screen but also make sure it is with a working one..
To those who deny the problem exists.. Seriously why would everyone be reporting exactly the same symptoms? Just consider yourself lucky you got a phone that's not faulty. No one's saying it's a bad device.

You have to like press the edge of your thumb on the p or q keys and slowly release your finger. For the notification bar, you pull with your thumb horizontally and put pressure in the edge of the screen. I know, it's hard.

had this phone for over 2 years now. it's a brilliant phone, and i love the quality photograps i've taken with it, but my biggest problem with it is the charging and have had that issue for over a year. seems like the c type charger gets broken quickly, and now i have to put weight on both sides of the phone and have to be gentle doing so to even get it to charge. and of course it doesn't have the option for wireless charging, which would help with my situation. so annoying. that is literally the only reason why i'll soon be changing to a completely different brand
