Sony Xperia XA F3115
Aesthetically speaking, the Sony Xperia XA is a stunning phone. Everyone should find a colour to match their personality by choosing from White, Graphite Black, Lime Gold and Rose Gold. At only 7.9mm thick, it has a sleek, minimalist look, and at 137.4g you’ll be able to take it anywhere without it affecting the weight of your pocket too much. With its 5-inch screen covered in scratch-resistant glass, it will keep on looking stunning for a long time too.
Luckily its highlights don’t stop there, because its functionality is as exceptional as its style. At its foundation, it has an Octa-core CPU and a Mali-T860MP2 GPU which helps this Smartphone perform quick & fault free. Paired with this is an Android version 6.0.1 (Marshmallow) operating system. For even better application support, you should consider upgrading to version 7.0 (Nougat) though.
Download applications, files and images onto the Xperia’s 16GB internal storage space. You’ll find that it can contain quite a lot of your favourite games and images. You can easily slide in a 256GB MicroSD card if you need to store even more data.
One feature that may use up storage space is the Sony Xperia XA’s camera. With a 13MP camera, you may be tempted to take more pictures than usual, due to their exceptional quality. All the photos will look extraordinary on the touchscreen, with its resolution of 720x1280 pixels and 294 ppi pixel density.

Sony Xperia XA review
For a company that rarely truly excels when it comes to smartphones, Sony has made another odd move with the Xperia XA. It's a visual stunner, but the specs are disappointing. How does it stand up to daily use though?
Sony Xperia XA review
Update: We're still waiting on Android Nougat to land on the Sony Xperia XA, but we're told that it's still on the way. Unfortunately, it's one of the final phones in Sony's line of supported devices to receive the software. Even the Sony Xperia Z3+ has Nougat already.
The Sony Xperia XA is a peculiar mix of the good, the great and the terrible. It looks wonderful and build quality is good. It has a microSD slot, a decent camera and NFC. The price is reasonable, too.
Sony Xperia XA review
The Sony Xperia XA looks fantastic and its camera's great, but its poor battery life and screen let it down
refurbished device
My biggest issue with the product, I received a refurbished device and the nowhere on the page that mentions the condition of the phone. I believe this should be mentioned clearly, so consumers are aware of the condition on the product.

Sony's recent phones, such as the Xperia X , have been too blocky to be called truly stylish. Not so with the Xperia XA. This 5-inch phone has an edge-to-edge display with only the merest sliver of a bezel. It gives the XA a lusciously premium look that belies its affordable price tag.- With a super-skinny bezel
- the Sony Xperia XA is a great-looking phone that's comfortable to use in one hand
- Its low screen resolution, short-lived battery and meagre amount of built-in storage are major setbacks
- Sony has loaded the phone with a horrible mess of bloatware
With ultra-thin bezels, good build quality and decent camera, the Sony Xperia XA sure doesn't look like a mid-range phone. It's let down by disappointing battery life and a sluggish feel in everyday use, but at $499 or on contract from $43 per month, the XA is reasonable value.
Sony Xperia XA review
We quite liked our time with the Sony Xperia XA, and it represents much better value for money than the flagship Xperia X, which is overpriced. We recommend the XA if you want a sleek, smart, mid-range phone that does everything acceptably well.
After Sony upgraded to Android 7.0, the camera and battery life became noticeably better.
Display - Edge-to-Edge Unlike the other members of the Xperia X range, the Sony Xperia XA has a full width display that has almost no trim surrounding it at all. This gives maximum screen size without bulking out the size of the phone.
