Inferior in pretty much every single way to the Z5 Premium. Its a shame, because I love the Xperia brand, but these new phones are a complete crock. They're going backwards, and also losing the amazing, professional look and feel of the devices,

Upgraded myself recently from Sony z3 to xa ultra n m very disappointed. Human beings are creatures of habit so I was surprised to find xa ultra without the double tap to wake up phone when z3 had it n I'd used it for over 2yrs...instead there is double tap to sleep here n I wonder how they expect me to wake up the phone? Have to press the power button to bring me to the unlock screen. It's a hassle. Second xa ultra is lagging... Simple task like deleting msg takes couple of seconds, much longer than z3. 3rd how can a phone time out in 2min if you are using it? Isn't the timeout for when phone is inactive? Overall, I miss my z3 n think I'll b going back to it...

The poor signal in basements is common for freedoms network and not specific to this phone. My XA ultra, Moto G Play and BlackBerry Z10 all have terrible reception when in places like basements. It's because freedom is using older network, that's why the rates are cheaper compared to the competitors. You get what you pay for kind of thing.

I've had this phone for 4 months now. I have a feeling I could have done much better. I bought it in Canada, so the price was still very high. The most annoying feature is the low battery. It needs to be charged at least once a day unless it is completely idle. It I use a demanding function, like tracking a jog with GPS while listening to music, I lose half the battery. Also, the two times that I didn't manage to charge it before it went to zero, the phone lost it's back light, and I had to send it in for repairs. With my carrier, all Sony's have to be sent to a designated SONY repair centre, and both times it took 6 weeks to get my phone back. I find that with my carrier Freedom (wind) mobile, the reception is very bad when I'm in a valley, or my basement apartment, so I cannot use the phone's data while I'm at home. The picture quality is very nice, except in low light where everything is cast in a red light. The phone is so pretty as well, I love the speaker volume, and although sometimes the web apps can be slow, the non-data using apps always work well. Overall, I'd try something different next time, but this one will do for now.

Anonymous, 10 Feb 2017XA ULTRA is Third category fone. Worst fone ever in my life... moreNot surprised you sold it in 20 days,any phone or most of them need at least 2-3 weeks to settle down,that means to update OS,apps and so on.Sure CPU first month work hard(overheating effect),plus you enable every thing,BT,WI FI,data+youtube,music just to try it.That phone is not flagship one,but come out with really good specs and affordable price,so use it wise and it will thank you with great experience.

Anonymous, 09 Feb 2017i need to get a new sony phone and i was considering either... moreI had been using Z3+ until it recently got stolen. I got another phone as replacement and trust me when i say, I miss my Z3+ a lot. I've been looking or a phone in that price bracket for quite a few days now and have not had much success. Z3+, even though a little low on the screen brightness scale, offered an amazing 20.5 MP primary camera and a very powerful 5 MP front camera. Because I am fond of phone photography, I was very satisfied with the specs this phone offered. The screen resolution was great, display was fine, even though the reds were a little muted. The pictures were clear and crisp, with amazing inbuilt filters and other options. Other than that, the storage was great, RAM was great. The phone ran smoothly, without giving me any trouble as far as the speed and operating the phone in general is concerned. Sure, it did heat up quite a lot, sometimes too quickly with gaming but it cooled down equally fast. The battery life a decent,lasted me more than half a day after moderate usage. The battery saver mode allow for battery life extension. Even when the battery drained quicker than I expected, the turbo charger made foe quick recharging. However, I would have appreciated a stronger battery. The UI was beautiful, with a lot of essential pre-installed apps. The phone, because of its dual glass panel, was a little slippery but the in-hand feel was beautiful. The glass was sturdy and did not damage itself even after I had dropped it a few times. Personally, I would recommend the phone based on my experience with it. I too am thinking of buying the same phone again. There's no such thing as a perfect phone but this one got as close as it could get. The pros outdid the cons. I don't know what the various experts would advice you to do, but as a commoner using the phone, I really liked it. :)
