    Sony Xperia follows a strict "No Replacement Policy". My phone developed 3 different issues withing warranty period, including buzz sound while playing audio, hotspot connectivity, and touch problem, but Xperia team has given in writing "replacement is impossible" First they offered me a refurbished phone with 90 days warranty while my phone was having 110 days warranty when I last submitted to their service center. Now, they want me to go for a paid upgrade where I have to 17% of the original cost of my phone and the new phone will be priced INR 5,000 higher than the market price. It means i need to pay around 9,000 for a paid upgrade while the actual difference between the prices of the 2 phones is Rs. 2,712.

In the shop they said its a software problem and just kept giving me new ones. You must have been lucky and got the one in a thousand that works properly. It's clear the phone was not tested properly... Software or hardware.

        I've had 4 xperia (neo, go, z3 compact and xa1). Whilst the first three were great the xa1 was a pile of rubbish. The microphone would only work if you hadn't used the speakers since the last restart. It should never have been released. When I complained to Sony I got a standard reply addressed to me as Mrs (I'm a Mr), saying they'd be in touch... That was over a year ago. Dreadful phone, really bad customer service. Gone from being a lifelong Sony fan and walking advert to never touching their rubbish again especially when it's clear what they think of their customers. Go bust Sony, no-one cares!

            Got mine about a year ago and the touchscreen's being replaced under warranty for the third time now. Really loved the design and the performance is great but what's the point when the touchscreen's failing every two months? Bought a different brand and although I've been a fan of Sony Xperias, I will never touch them again, thank you very much. Stay away from this model, it'll just give you headache after headache. Money down the drain, seriously. Once the warranty expires you just end up with a useless piece of plastic junk. European model btw.

                    This is the worst phone I've ever bought... Good luck trying to press on the outside of the screen after a few months. Had to download an app to slide my notifications bar. Waste of money

                      Bought it P14,999.
                      Price now P8,999.
                      XA1 no issue before/after updates (3 months)
                      XA1 for BACK camera, faster mobile data,
                      adjustable screen color balance...
                      Minimal-to-no bass intnternal speaker
                      Cannot access engineering mode without rooting.

                      User experience,
                      Vivo Y81 with 32-bit Hi-Fi DAC is better.
                      Face unlock with pick-up wake-up is better.

                      XA1 face unlock is stupid (for now),
                      cannot open double tap screen-lock.
                      No embedded app for auto-wake-up.

                          DONT BUY THIS PHONE! NEVER. I've replaced the screen myself..company wont take responsibility for faulty phones. software wise, and performance wise, its quite good..but the original didnt last 6 months before having issues. Once replaced , the phone is good but screen issue is unacceptable.

                                      Firstly I am a fan of Sony phones.
                                      Was convinced to get this phone by a super virgin mobile customer person. (thanks)
                                      Sorry but camera pics are very dark which means using manual settings to get any pics that are half decent, My old Samsung galaxy s3 takes far better pic's
                                      Sunshine legibility is very poor,
                                      Key board is playing up the "p" in particular
                                      Keeps going into safe mode.
                                      Battery life is poor,
                                      Still got 17 month contract left!!!
                                      Really dissatisfied with the phone,
