I myself are truly disappointed by my Sony XA1. My right edge side is dead and sometimes responsive, cant type p or delete stuff. Playing some games is terrible. From all my Sony phones this one is gonna make me walk away from the brand. Wife walked away and I am next so will my friends be.

I've had this phone for about two years now and I'm probably never going to buy another Sony phone. I had its screen replaced twice during warranty, battery just dies no matter what you do. It overheats if you play games on it. Some of the core issues this phone has are : screen malfunctioning, bad battery life. Other than that it's an alright phone but I don't recommend it in 2019 or onward. The back camera is really great. It makes some high quality pictures but that's about it.

I will never purchase a Sony phone again. The non-replaceable battery on the phone died within the one year warranty period and I managed to have the phone fixed after a long wait. The battery started malfunctioning again a few months later after the warranty had expired. The phone no longer charges. Learn from my mistake and buy an inexpensive phone with a replaceable battery.

Some issues are fixable, but indeed it's not for fools. I and 3 friends have this model for more than one year. It's perfect!

had for almost my full two year contract sales rep at the time said "this is such a great phone". bought in october 2017, by january (3 months later) camera stopped focusing. went to my provider and the phone rep told me because my warranty was over that the only option was to in his words "smash the screen and send it in to be repaired". didnt do that because uhm no thanks. it was an alright phone and did its job, charging became slower as time progressed. went in and got a new phone a couple days ago (back to samsung) and the rep told me that sony no longer sells phones in canada because they are junky. oh well lesson learned

SAC, 06 Aug 2019HI Can you share details regarding how you solved the scree... moreThere is something wrong for some devices with the kernel of the on/off button that affects the screen and also the proximity. Flashed it and used only the proximity to turn on and off by a third party app... The procedure it's more complicated because in my experience there are different issues by different devices and their serial numbers. The simplest conclusion is to flash it with the 'for journalists ftf' from xperifirm\flashtool, use it without touching the buttons mostly the on/off one and also use a keyboard using predictive flow touch. I have three XA1 dual devices for more than 3 years among my friends and they are faster than any Crapsung's J model. Cheers!

Worst purchase!
Reboots continuously when connected via WiFi.
Now the front and rear camera are not working (hardly 6 months of use) - hardware related issue (not software).

Don't buy this phone. It has touchscreen issues. If you replace the screen, it is only a matter of time until the new screen also develops issues. It's an unaddressed design flaw, and there are literally tens of thousands of people who have complained about this problem. It was a very enjoyable phone until the symptoms showed up. They got progressively worse over a two week period. Phone is now completely unusable. There is some talk of a class action suit, but that's all I know.

The camera quality is very good. There's a manual mode that I can take a better photo in different condition. Besides, the screen is not so good, it's really bad at the edge of the phone. Don't really recommend if you want to buy a sony mid-range phone with the edged screen.

Don't buy the phone. It has a screen problem. I replaced the screen and the new one started showing the same issues after a few months.
Except that, it's a great phone :)
