How is the sound that comes from RUclips videos on this phone. Issue in my C5 Ultra is that when I play any song or video file in the phone, its pretty loud but when I play a video on youtube, it sounds lower...why is that..
+Quick Expert Reviews glad you confirmed the front camera DIS. What I don't get is why not put any of the older camera sensors that had 4k like my previous phone the Z3 compact? Yeah....I miss that phone 😔
+Pat Pat True, however it's running on Android 7.0 which means Android is handling battery life pretty darn well, because of Dozo, and on top of that you have Sony stamina mode. At the minute I'm averaging 2 days of mediocre usage.
+jjumpykkppblabla O2 UK. Well I had a rouge app that kept killing the battery, so it didn't last long, but once I got rid of it it's all good. 2hrs of Netflix, an hour of streaming, and a lot of social media and the phone will die after 12h.
+jjumpykkppblabla by streaming I meant music streaming. Yeah it usually doesn't make it to the next day. It might settle though. I had it only for over a week.
+Am not a racist Depends on what you're going to use it for. Camera I'd say XA1 U and A5. Movies XA1 U hands down. Convenience J7Pro and A5 as they've got fingerprint sensor. Gaming - all.
Alex Hoffpaiur Sadly only one speaker. As I wasn't sure on the XA1 review (phonearena says stereo), on this one the audio plays only through bottom speaker. I've even covered it with my palm and couldn't hear anything. It's well confusing as the layout looks like it's got two front facing speakers, but the top bit is just an earpiece, there's no audio coming out from it, apart from obviously when you make a call as it's just an earpiece not an actual speaker.
+Alex Hoffpaiur Oh yeas it does such big time, looks like Sony has missed a shot with this, as obviously a Phone with such a massive screen will be used for media, especially movies, and it would be absolutely brilliant if you'd have two front facing speakers. Maybe that'll be the case on XA2 Ultra. Hopefully.
Alex Hoffpaiur I agree with the axon 7 is a beast I have had it a full year no complaints other than wish it was little bigger but that phone I have dropped it so many times an still works as like first day I got it an that fun is still fast as heck I'm so impressed with the axon 7 I am waiting on if they gonna make axon 8 and can't imagine how that will be
+Allen Acierto I made the video, so I'll have to leave the decision to yourself, however I found it way better than original XA Ultra, especially in camera department. It all depends on what do you use your phone for
+Nhokz ville Sadly not. Not even splash proof. I mean you can talk through it while it’s raining, however it might not survive when a glass of water spills all over it.
The thing with Android is that it's manufactured by different companies that use different hardware and User interface. There are apps like Filmic Pro that work on OnePlus 5T that's has Snapdragon 835 processor but they don't work on Sony XZ Premium or Samsung S8 with exactly the same processor. It all depends on the app developer and the phone manufacturer. Luckily not many people use Filmic Pro and common apps like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat work like a treat on any android handset.
+Martin Tristan Most of the games should run just fine. MediaTek Helio P20 in this handset is the most powerful out of all Midrange processors (Snapdragon 625 and Surge S1), so it should play games like Real Racing 3 in 30 FPS without any issues, however games like unkilled would be best played at medium graphic settings rather than High. Hope it helps :)
+jjumpykkppblabla It's very comfortable in your hand as there are virtually no side bezels. So it's comfortable in regards to holding the handset in you hand, however it's tall (having 6" screen), but then again as you can see there's one handed mode, so it should be fine :)
+Bruno Årfors Hey. I've adjusted that in newer videos and then decided that I'm going to get rid of music completely, but can't really edit that in older videos. Apologies for inconvenience caused.
+Scott Muir That's what I thought, and even said in my XA1 review, that XA1 has stereo speakers (confirmed by phonearena) but then double checked on this review and both handsets have only one speaker, on the bottom. Battery is on the smallish side and I'll report back on battery life in a week.
You are going too fast playing around with all the switches only explaining some of them and the condition of your hands for this type of presentation has to be perfect (which isn't )
+Anthony Fassolas Thanks for the feedback! I'm working on both, especially hands. I was born with it and will stay like this but I think I've found a solution that helps with the skin while it doesn't make the handset that greasy.
me encanta el diseño de este xa1 ultra, mucho mejor que el xa ultra normal, y su color Negro puro es lo mejor, cosa que del xa ultra era un plomo grafito demasiado feo
+Mr As I'm based in UK i can't really tell, however what I've found is that it's compatible with AT&T and T-Mobile. Also compatible with GSM SIM Kits, including Cricket Wireless, Net10, H2O and Simple Mobile.
thnx for your review I am very much liking this phone I'm gonna buy this phone as soon as it launches
spider 14699 Its launched in UK but sadly i live in EU

Jayzee Gariguez how do you like it?
How is the sound that comes from RUclips videos on this phone. Issue in my C5 Ultra is that when I play any song or video file in the phone, its pretty loud but when I play a video on youtube, it sounds lower...why is that..
+Radhe Radhe Production I'll get back to you in 5 days, I'm on Annual Leave and don't have access to the phone at the minute :)
+Quick Expert Reviews glad you confirmed the front camera DIS. What I don't get is why not put any of the older camera sensors that had 4k like my previous phone the Z3 compact? Yeah....I miss that phone 😔
Oscar P. 😞
How is battery life. It is just 2700 mAh with 6" screen!!!
+Pat Pat True, however it's running on Android 7.0 which means Android is handling battery life pretty darn well, because of Dozo, and on top of that you have Sony stamina mode. At the minute I'm averaging 2 days of mediocre usage.
Ist possible to view two at the same time (multi windows)
Ist possible to view 2 apps at the same time
Yes. Not all apps are supported but the most common ones work (messenger, chrome, RUclips, Facebook, email, even some games)
can you tell me in dual sim does it have separated micro SD card tray
+spider 14699 I haven't seen a dual sim unit, but I'll try and get some info from Sony
hi.. what about the battery life?
Is it worth getting more than a Z5????
How is the battery now that you've used it for a while? Worth it?
Where did you get the phone from?
+jjumpykkppblabla O2 UK. Well I had a rouge app that kept killing the battery, so it didn't last long, but once I got rid of it it's all good. 2hrs of Netflix, an hour of streaming, and a lot of social media and the phone will die after 12h.
2hrs streaming, etc etc together and the battery will die our each time separately?
+jjumpykkppblabla by streaming I meant music streaming. Yeah it usually doesn't make it to the next day. It might settle though. I had it only for over a week.
It's definitely not bad I bought mine last year November I am loving it
which has a better camera (for the mid range phones) - this or samsung a5 2017? and which has longer battery life?
this device beats any samsung mid range
Oh and is there any shipping to Australasia?
+jjumpykkppblabla I only know that the phone will cost 600AUD and it will be available in Australia and New Zealand
thanks for ur review and when its available in India am waiting so long
i have to chose bettwen xa1 ultra galxy a5 2017 j7pro and j7max witch is best
+Am not a racist Depends on what you're going to use it for. Camera I'd say XA1 U and A5. Movies XA1 U hands down. Convenience J7Pro and A5 as they've got fingerprint sensor. Gaming - all.
Is it 4k video support phone?
+ajith babu Sadly not
is it waterproof??
+Darling Da Barbie Unfortunately not
man this looks like a cool phone, the screen seems too glossy though unless im just being weird
it does have front speakers dual ones
Alex Hoffpaiur Sadly only one speaker. As I wasn't sure on the XA1 review (phonearena says stereo), on this one the audio plays only through bottom speaker. I've even covered it with my palm and couldn't hear anything.

Quick Expert Reviews well that sux, thank you for clarifying,
+Alex Hoffpaiur Oh yeas it does such big time, looks like Sony has missed a shot with this, as obviously a Phone with such a massive screen will be used for media, especially movies, and it would be absolutely brilliant if you'd have two front facing speakers.

Quick Expert Reviews axon 7 is still the best in my book and will b my next I have m9 now, they did miss out. hate when they tease us like that
Alex Hoffpaiur I agree with the axon 7 is a beast I have had it a full year no complaints other than wish it was little bigger but that phone I have dropped it so many times an still works as like first day I got it an that fun is still fast as heck I'm so impressed with the axon 7 I am waiting on if they gonna make axon 8 and can't imagine how that will be

is the call quality better than the original XA Ultra ?
+Incognito Yes they use completely different antennas.
Hi,
Thanks for your review, is there any heating up thing during use?
+Paul Pereira Nothing to report on overheating front :)
How is the call quality
malik ali Clear, no background noise in loud environement. I'd say even better than iPhone 6S Plus
Thanks cool review.
I have a question. Does the XA1 ULTRA's display have uneven brightness and/or color?
Not to my knowledge, no. I can have a look on Monday.
Thanks for your reply.
I want to know.
It's fine. No uneven brightness, no colour discrepancies.
Thank you for your reply.
I am very happy.
I will buy this model. And, it is your fan. 😺
This is phone volte or not
Does XA1 Ultra have Laser Focus ?
+Terry Nguyen Yes, phase detection and laser.

No laser focus , only phase detection auto focus and Contrast detection auto focus
the camera in video mod

+Lukoshkin Sasha Yes but it's a digital zoom
hehe to late man i already got it ha this phone is huge man

Any1 pls tell me camera wise which is better xa1 ultra or one plus5? Mainly of macro focus?
+Supraja Supri OnePlus5 however both will be great at photography.
does it has front flash!!
+jihene sÏlÕüssà Yes it does, it's that LED light to the right of the SONY logo on the front.
what mobile is better,.. this one or xiaomi mi max 2 .. your opinions, guys?
+Karen Winchester Would love to hear other people opinion on Mii Mix 2, but I don't know a single person that would own one.
Awesome review and im gonna get it as soon as it comes for shipping in the whole EU
+MrGaming EST Which European country? I can try and dig some info
Estonia but i wont buy it here because it will cost almost 2x as much
Quick Expert Reviews Oh amd somebody is copyrighting your video btw search sony xperia xa1 ultra revievs im gonna say the channels name in a sec
Quick Expert Reviews Channel is Universe media
+MrGaming EST Hey, what do you mean?
Is it normal for the xa1 phone to turn blackout when making a call? While dialling? I need help Asap..
+Ennayram Sigua When making a call yes. When dialing no.
This phone is good ????
+Allen Acierto I made the video, so I'll have to leave the decision to yourself, however I found it way better than original XA Ultra, especially in camera department. It all depends on what do you use your phone for
Price?
+Keith Threadkell £309.99 in UK
Thanks so hopefully around $500 in CAD.
is this wareproof?
+Nhokz ville Sadly not. Not even splash proof. I mean you can talk through it while it’s raining, however it might not survive when a glass of water spills all over it.
Is it proof water !?
+Bahaà 21 Unfortunately not
I have Samsung right now and looking to buy something else. Are all apps available for this phone just like any other android?
The thing with Android is that it's manufactured by different companies that use different hardware and User interface. There are apps like Filmic Pro that work on OnePlus 5T that's has Snapdragon 835 processor but they don't work on Sony XZ Premium or Samsung S8 with exactly the same processor. It all depends on the app developer and the phone manufacturer. Luckily not many people use Filmic Pro and common apps like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat work like a treat on any android handset.
how much ? and have fast charge or not?
+Mohamad Hm It does support Fast charge (you can buy fast charger off Sony mobile website in UK), and the prices start from £309
is it good for gaming? thanks in advance. :)
+Martin Tristan Most of the games should run just fine. MediaTek Helio P20 in this handset is the most powerful out of all Midrange processors (Snapdragon 625 and Surge S1), so it should play games like Real Racing 3 in 30 FPS without any issues, however games like unkilled would be best played at medium graphic settings rather than High. Hope it helps :)
I love sony xperia xa1 ultra but not yet fingerprint.
+Myo Kyaw Swar Naing Unfortunately :( Let's wait for Ultra 3.
Xperia XA1 ULTRA IT IS WATER PROOF?
Sadly not
I am just really worried that the phone is quite big? is it a big of a difference? does it seem more like a small tablet (in terms of size)
+jjumpykkppblabla It's very comfortable in your hand as there are virtually no side bezels. So it's comfortable in regards to holding the handset in you hand, however it's tall (having 6" screen), but then again as you can see there's one handed mode, so it should be fine :)
jjumpykkppblabla its better than xa1.Can record 4k
No, it can't.
it says unboxing but lot of the time spent showing the camera setting adjustments !!
Terribly noisy "music" going on, hard to hear what is said. Why?
+Bruno Årfors Hey. I've adjusted that in newer videos and then decided that I'm going to get rid of music completely, but can't really edit that in older videos. Apologies for inconvenience caused.
Quick Expert Reviews very good decision! 😇
stereo speakers according to a sony spokesman, pretty confusing. Fantastic looking phone not too confident about the battery though.
+Scott Muir That's what I thought, and even said in my XA1 review, that XA1 has stereo speakers (confirmed by phonearena) but then double checked on this review and both handsets have only one speaker, on the bottom. Battery is on the smallish side and I'll report back on battery life in a week.
Watch damir franc review battery gives 9 hours of time on wifi which is very good...
And how much is it? In dollars? :3
Good video! ;D
Miau it's £309.99 here in UK so I believe it would be around $349 (I didn't convert directly)

XA1 Ultra vs 手中完好如初的z3
1.前鏡頭自拍 XA1 Ultra 很明顯 畫質畫素完勝，但說是自拍神器，
老婆拍完後還是說，xa1可以把臉上的缺點全拍出來就是臉會歪，不知是好還是壞，
還是要用上其它的拍照app，looks app 和 xa1就很搭, 再來是自拍有
時快門會慢一秒，自拍後看照片發現不是在微笑。話說 apple自拍軟体
也不是很好看，總之 xa1 ultra 自拍時看到螢幕上很美的自已，但快門
按下後出來的照片與螢目上的完全不同，真的很傻眼。
2.後鏡頭先說說拍風景、街道，xa1 小勝 z3 除了色彩較好外，遠方標的
物也比較清楚，如招牌將照片放大後，xa1 能比較清楚一點點，就只有一點點
景物色彩方面也比較飽和。
3.後鏡頭拍人物，這就要說個讚了，與z3不同的是，z3保有人物在螢幕時看
起來很美，但照片出來後確很難看，xa1 ultra 這後鏡頭能將人物在螢幕的美度
80%呈現於照片中，不用任何修圖軟体，但於室內拍攝人物只要光線不太足，好像
會霧霧的這點確實輸z3，要完整的對焦而且要人物不動才不會霧霧的，色彩才會
比較好，還有就是後鏡頭拍照也是會延遲，但沒有前鏡頭來的明顯，如果在光線充
足的地方，就算沒有好好的對焦還是可以照的很好，快門反應也比室內來的快。
4.電池方面比z3小一點點如果沒有記錯的話，螢幕6吋續航力與z3差不多。
5.玩遊戲方面一個字 爽 ，螢幕大、畫質好、聲音大聲。
6.外型方面 95 分 粉金色萬歲，比apple雙鏡頭好看太多了，小弟手中 4s、5、6s plus、7。
7.說是自拍神器沒有吧!還是要用app軟体呀(前鏡頭沒問題)，sony自家軟体真的有問題
浪費前鏡頭呈現人物是那麼的好看，怎麼拍出來不一樣，慘。
8.評分 100 滿分
a.外型-95分
b.前鏡頭軟体呈現-30分
c.後鏡頭軟体呈現-80分
d.後鏡頭拍攝景色-70分.i phone 6s plus-85分.i phone 7-82分
e.螢目-90分
f.遊戲順暢度-80分
g.價性比-80分，小弟是外型控等不了還有半年的合約就下手買空機，12900肯定值得。

very nice
+Waqas ahmad Ahmad Thank You!
if you're having a review please do not include background music.
Thank you. Based on feedback, since September 2017, the background music only plays at the very beginning of each review, for the first 10 seconds.
Bcause theres other users of x series says is not good.unlikebthe zseries.tnx
You are going too fast playing around with all the switches only explaining some of them and the condition of your hands for this type of presentation has to be perfect (which isn't )

watching in my sony xperia xa1 ultra 😁😁😁
leonard diwa How is it? Is the phone easy to handle?
leonard diwa pls tell me camera wise which one is better xa1 ultra or one plus 5? Mainly of macro focus?
Nice
Thanks for the review but please, stop the annoying music whilst you're talking.
Hey. Thank you for the feedback! It has been removed nearly completely now for the latest 7 videos (bar the 10 second intro) and it'll stay this way.
me encanta el diseño de este xa1 ultra, mucho mejor que el xa ultra normal, y su color Negro puro es lo mejor, cosa que del xa ultra era un plomo grafito demasiado feo
Joseph Kevin Vizcarra Tinta True. Looks way more "Premium" than XA Ultra, and the colour is nicer than previous graphite Ultra
👍👍👍
