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 :)

As with other owners my phone took to powering down for no reason and would turn on again only with the power cable plugged in. Now it's off permanently - will not turn on. Period. Sony Australia refuse too help because I bought the phone overseas. This is a common problem.

I have xa1 for almost a year and a half. I was very happy with this phone until now. I see I'm not the only one who have problems with the screen. The edges of the screen dont work properly and its very annoying. Sometimes I can't unlock my phone because the screen doesn't work. Its my 3rd sony phone...I always wanted to have only sony but now I'm slowly changing my mind. I am so sorry.
I was hoping it will last 2 years minimum because buying a new phone is not in my plans this year. I am so disappointed.

DO NOT BUY.
I bought a brand new one, october 2018:
-right from the start the compass never worked. Regardless of calibrations, apps etc
-very shitty speakeR. Not speakerS. You can barely hear anything in a quiet room at home, let alone in a crowded room. 100% impossible in traffic.
-biggest issue by far is that the left and right edge of the screen, vertical strips are now 100% dead.
-the top of the screen, the notifications won't slide down. On screen lock it does. Once unlocked, it doesn't. It used to work 20% of the time but now 0%.
-note that I almost never use my phone, I don't install things, yet these things happen. Heck, I don't even bother to connect it to PC and copy photos, I almost never make phone calls. Yet it easily breaks. I can't press the P button on the keyboard. All this after only 6 months? Also the screen has a big scratch. No idea how since I don't even use it anymore. I don't keep it around sharp metal objects.
For 50$ or less (definitely less) it's worth it. For 250$ that I paid for GTFO. Thank you for your low quality product. I had such high hopes, yet this is the most disappointing phone I ever owned. 10 years(ish) later my iphone 4 has none of these issues but too bad I hate apple products.

FOR THOSE HAVING (edges) touch probem
anything is working fine , and the worst thing is swiftkey keyboard try something else, google keyboard may solve the issue
lets take a look at my phone (no touch problem here)
i didnt upgrade to android 8 yet, and - more important - i dont let heavy games/apps eat battery/cpu/memory while they are not supposed to be running
how? ok let me explain this: when you exit an app you think its done but its NOT!! it stiil is eating phone resources in the background if there are some heavy apps they make phone laggy , thats android big BUG!!, this can affect touch process , to avoid this go to settings -> apps and force stop them , this will solve the problem hopefully

This is a very good phone and does a good job. I don`t have all the problems other people are saying. After the update to Oreo 8, it is advisable to install the google keyboard to iron out any touch screen issues.
Great camera, great sound and a great screen. What else could you want?
For the price, it`s a reliable workhorse and I have no issues with it.
There seems to be a lot of trolls on here who really don`t appreciate that this is a phone, not a computer.
