DO NOT BUY - this device is dead. Buy ONLY if you plan to install LineageOS, SailfishOS or another custom ROM right away.
During that past 3 months, Sony has removed licensed functionality (mapping APIs, metadata discovery APIs, …) from at least their Music and Album applications (via updates uploaded to the Playstore - do not install!) to dial back cost and involvement.
My H3113 model has been stuck on the Nov 1st 2019 patch level for 4+ months now and looking at how Sony has dismantled their mobile division, I do not expect any ongoing support or maybe just a security patch twice a year – WHICH IS NOT APPROPRIATE FOR A DEVICE YOU MIGHT BE USING BANKING APPS ON.
Just buy an Iphone. Had I just not been too cheap to buy an Iphone SE instead of this device back in 2018, I would have current security even moving forward from now, and no 3 month delay between critical security patches getting published and released to the XA2!

Pretty ridiculous to know I can purchase the latest version of XA2 Ultra at the end of Spring 2019, start with Android P and NEVER recieve an Android update. How can a manufacturer actually release an entire line of devices they never bother to upgrade once with Android platforms when all the other carriers agreed to a 2 upgrade minimum? Sony is garbage. Their UI created a host of problems for devices on P and 10 should have resolved those but now they will never be fixed. Trying to answer a call and your screen going black and locking off is a BIG problem to name just one. I shouldn't have to soft reset my device every other day after only 9 months of use and after a complete factory reset. Appalling.

Screen is very small and feels even smaller when there are no hardware buttons.
When removing the SD card or SIM card the phone has to restart, I've never known another phone do this and it is annoying.
Also unlocking bootloader requires giving your email to Sony and all data is wiped before you can do a proper backup of current system.
While the hardware overall is an upgrade from my old phone (Samsung S4), I was disappointed with the XA2 and will probably stick with Samsung for the future.

Sony does not keep its promises to deliver upgrades for Android. My phone continues to be the first 8.0 version after 19 months of the initial release.
I'm done with the Sony liars.

Bought the XA2 because the Z5 Compact was amazing in every way and I cannot afford its replacements in South Africa. And it's camera is broken, otherwise I would still use it.
The XA2 camera software sucks.
Refuses to take pictures when it randomly decides to provide the virtual shutter button; and randomly refuses to take a photo when I press the physical button. I use internal memory and took resolution down to 12 to be lighter on CPU. No change. Not even after OS update.
It also gets very confused with Bluetooth, GSM and WhatsApp calls, especially call waiting.
That said, it handles 3G to WiFi handover nicely and everything else works well, as expected. But I expected a phone to handle calls well and from a Sony, a wonderful camera experience. FAIL. Please fix the software and I could still get happy. Until then, the XA2 is a frustrating brick.
To add insult to injury, two weeks after I bought it, Sony pulled out of South Africa. So much for customer support.

I don't know why Xperia XA2 (and other Xperia model) has not Wifi Direct to use with other device, Only you can use with other Xperia because has the same app transfer.
