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 is the latest from Sony's line up of the Xperia X series. The XA is the mid range fairly inexpensive version of them all which consist of the X, XA Ultra and X Performance. The XA is the phone I found most intriguing since the others are beefed up with higher end specs.
Sony's new Xperia XA mid-range smartphone reaps in some plus points with its good configuration: The 16 GB internal storage is easily expandable with a micro-SD card, the micro-USB port is OTG compatible, and NFC is also on board.

short battery life; no fingerprint scanner; touchscreen issues in review sample; poor hands-free performance; primary camera's focus issues in videos; non-removable battery; No Pump Express+ 2.0 charger included
Bought this to replace an Xperia Z3 Compact on contract that the screen kept breaking on. Everything works as it should, it holds the charge really well, decent camera, cannot complain at all.
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
Sony has put the Xperia Z lineup of smartphones to bed for the time being and has decided to concentrate their efforts where today's battles in smartphone sales make the most impact, the mid-ranged segment.
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 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.
This phone is the best one I have ever bought. Totally worth the money especially the camera.
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...
Best Android Phone as of now. Great battery life, great audio, amazing display, breathtaking camera, and breathtaking performance.
