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.
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: The cheapest member of Sony's new 2016 X-series phones makes some serious compromises to cut costs, but also boasts some gorgeous design. Is it a case of beauty over brains? Here's our full in-depth Xperia XA review.
Sexy design; Decent display; Dependable cameras
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 is becoming irrelevant in the mobile space. Its high-end phones are increasingly dull and forgettable, highlighted by the recent Sony Xperia X , and it's now falling behind in the mid-range space thanks to the OnePlus 3 , Moto G4 Plus and Vodafone Smart Ultra 7 .
Clean version of Android; Good for one-handed use; Basically no side bezels
Drab screen; Better options at this price; Slow; unreliable camera; Grease magnet
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?
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 looks fantastic and its camera's great, but its poor battery life and screen let it down
Slick looking phone; fast to operate
Curved screen edge is annoying as can't apply glass screen protector
The Sony Xperia XA is the low-cost entry in Sony's new lineup. Apart from the cameras and the battery life, it offers a mediocre serving. Find out why it might still be of interest in our full review of the Sony Xperia XA.
Surprisingly good cameras
Not enough free storage; Slow; Poor battery life for a Sony device
For $280, the Sony Xperia XA just doesn't bring enough to the table to justify its price. Despite a high-quality it suffers from sluggish performance, mediocre battery life, and a relatively low-resolution display.
Attractive bezel-less design; Solid camera performance; Expandable storage; NFC and dual-band Wi-Fi
Relatively pricey; Sluggish performance; Lackluster display; Mediocre battery life
