The Sony Xperia XA is competent in most areas and great in a few, but it's overpriced and undercooked.
+ Stylish; + Strong front-facing camera; + Octa-core processor

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.

The Sony Xperia XA looks fantastic and its camera's great, but its poor battery life and screen let it down
After Sony upgraded to Android 7.0, the camera and battery life became noticeably better.
The Xperia XA ($279.99) is the third phone in Sony's Xperia X series to see a US launch. Like the Xperia X and the Xperia X Performance, the Xperia XA is a 5-inch unlocked Android phone. The only physical difference between the XA and its siblings is that it has no bezel on the left or right, giving it an edge-to-edge display. Otherwise, the XA is an average unlocked phone with hardware and performance that don't quite live up to its price tag. The Motorola Moto G4 is a much better value for the price. Design, Display, and FeaturesLike most Sony phones, the Xperia XA is compact. Measuring in at 5.65 by 2.63 by 0.31 inches (HWD) and 4.83 ounces, it's notably smaller than the chunky G4 (6.02 by 3.02 by 0.39 inches, 5.47 ounces), although the G4 has a larger 5.5-inch display. The 5-inch Blu R1 HD (5.63 by 2.78 by 0.33 inches, 5.01 ounces) is a closer match, though the XA is especially comfortable to use one-handed due to its rounded metal sides.
