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.
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.

I would recommend this phone. It is easy to get used to. It is smaller and easier to carry in a pocket. All around good phone.
Really happy with this phone has some great features, cameras are very good quality, internal storage is quickly filled but not a problem with the expandable micro so slot. A fantastic device for very little cost.
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.
Best Android Phone as of now. Great battery life, great audio, amazing display, breathtaking camera, and breathtaking performance.
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?
The design is lovely, especially when placed in a clear silicone case. It's such a nice design, pretty pretty phone... BUT! there are problems. One of which is the pre-installed applications such as Spotify that you cannot fully remove but only disable, I personally don't want any of this...
This phone is the best one I have ever bought. Totally worth the money especially the camera.
Sony claims the entry-level model of its smartphone line-up is the perfect fit at a reasonable price. Is it? By André Schild. The 2016 Mobile World Congress in Barcelona proved to be the ideal stage for smartphone makers to introduce a slew of new products.
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.
