Finally, someone can speak fluently, doesn't feel the need for being theatrical and just tell us what we want to know. Thank you and big thumbs up :) :)
Andriza Refinaldi and from 5 inch to 5.2 inch screen display, and from 2300 mah to 3300 mah and the price bro is affordable. Nice sony, can’t wait to have it.
I am waiting for the full review but from content that I've seen here and on other channels, reviewers do give a positive feedback about XA2 and it is great to hear that :) + seeing that XA1 has 2018 January security patch let's me trust Sony to bring regular software updates to XA2 as well :)
Genza yeah same, when i was thinking about a new phone last month i was heavily leaning on sony's side, and would've gotten the xz premium if it wasn't fpr the high price relatively to thw phone i ended up getting, the xiaomi mi mix 2
A shame they didn't find the budget for stereo speakers.... The XA1 just doesn't make enough noise and if the XA2 is the same you will miss notifications while out and about.
The Sony XA2 video camera can record in slow motion but the XA1 can't? Is that correct. With the XA1 if it cannot record in slow motion can you later put videos in to slow motion with editing software? Video quality wise even though XA2 is higher spec the quality difference with XA1 is very minor from comparison footage I've seen, is that accurate? Deciding between XA1 and XA2 to buy and good video camera is a definite must for me but XA1 is lot cheaper so if only minor improvement in quality I'll go for XA1. Thanks for help!
I read that they both have the same brightness in nits.I noticed that the XA 2 had auto bright. set on.Think that made a difference?Anyone have a problem with dim screen on XA 2?
I stick to my XA1, much better design and size. You feel the thickness of the new one. XA1 much brighter screen too, resolution not a problem, good cámara, great battery life. Got the gold version so pretty elegant. Y did prefer the speaker in the xa2.
does the xa2 camera have the same wide angle as the xa1 rear cam? i really love that on xa1, but planning of upgrade to xa2 because of terrible touch issues on xa1
I want to know is there some problem with xa1 touch? There is some news that touch on the edge is problematic in xa1. I really wanna buy xperia so anyone with experience with xa1?
I heard that the sound is not great when using the 3.5 mm jack. Is that true and how dependent is the sound on the jack? I thought that it's the headphones that matter (they do anyway), not the jack...
I have had the phone for 1 and a half months and I like it. I don't have the aforementioned audio quality issues - in fact, there is a sound-enhancing technology in the device for headphones which works okay. There seems to be inferior audio quality in terms of recording sound (it is a bit muffled), however, or it might be just the microphone on my unit.
Sony has a history of releasing phones with Wi-Fi connectivity issues. Has this problem been fixed on the XA2? Does it repeatedly drop its Wi-Fi connection as previous Xperia models do?
Terrible lighting, have to up my phone brightness 80% just to see the damn phones. Your phones are in the dark while your background has too much light. Shine some light on the phone FFS!
I bought an xa1 10 months ago. And it has touchscreen problem for 3 months. I sent it to warranty today. (21-05-2018) I wish they pay me my money back. I dont want to use sony anymore. (Used 5 Sony until now) I saw many times this touchscreen problem on RUclips. Its chronic. And also it has Facebook, Instagram, and camera problems. Its a shame for Sony. I wish they make it up soon...
Now the xa1 already updated to oreo. And looking by desain, i choose xa1 more than xa2. The side finger print is sony signature. Xa2 now she looks like xiaomi. And looking xz2, it's sad that sony starting to follow the mainstream desain.

We need those two front facing speakers Sony! it looks like it only has one speaker?? Sucks! AND SONY NEEDS TO CONTINUE TO KEEP THAT GORGEOUS 4K LCD SCREEN!! Amoled is overrated! Samsung already uses Sony's cameras, so somewhat Sony already has the game on lock! I think Samsung is losing sales because they over-saturate Sony's cameras too much!
I ended up buying the Black before seeing either in person. I finally saw the Silver in person and it looks pretty sharp. Things to consider is if you get a case they usually only come in black and if you plan to resell it later, black would probably be easier. If I had to do it again though, I would probably give the Silver a chance.
I think not, it has similar speed of the xperia z5 (quite fast). I don't know about you but it seems like they used the same camera on the xa2 as on the z5. Well, looks good! :D
Xa1 has touchscreen problem. I sent it to warranty, they changed the screen but it came broken. I sent it back to sony warranty. This time they wanted money to repair my phone. I'm so angry about that. They sent broken phone to me and they want money. I won't buy any Sony from now on. Until now, I used 7 sony phones and I was a sony lover. But thats enough...
It's kind of a late reply, but I had the same exact problem, the only difference being that I had to return mine 3 times (the warnity covered it) ! Big disappointment.
AND IF SONY CAN DROP THE PRICE TO THE ROUND $500 OR LESS, b/c they don't need wireless charging, water resistant, phone card scanner at grocery checkouts! None of that! Although these things extra are safe to have. We don't care as a consumer. Are people too lazy now a days to take their debit card out their wallets! What is this world coming too! Lift your hand consumers!
Nokia is slow when compared to Sony. Software on sony phones are fast and clean. Same spec = Sony win. Of course if Nokia offers better hardware, then go for it
Near enough the same design as previous with Sony and only 3gb of Ram...Much rather have the Honor 7 X for less money Sim Free and with 4gb of Ram and 64gb of Rom :-)
Feel Sony is outside time and always behind somehow... All their phones are few years behind and kinda don't change much over time... Look at: Samsung Galaxy S5 and S6 (jump in everything)... S7 and S8 (jump in everything) iPhone 7 and iPhone X (jump in everything) Pixel XL first and second gen... SONY PHONES - SAME, SAME, SAME, SAME, SAME, SAME, SAME, SAME....SAME BEZELS, SAME DIM DISPLAY, SAME BLOODY PREMIUM OUTDATED MEDIOCRITY... Good, old Sony - same package with slightly better internals annually...
TheRussianLondoner, you are exaggerating 😁 75% SBR (screen to body ratio) in XA2 is competitive in comparison to other midrangers and it has improved, I just would say that it lacks water resistance, but in general it is a good phone :) this year they have some bigger changes in plans and you would be correct, if you would have said this after the release of XZ1 lineup, but now we can see a shift in SBR with the regular XA2 + Sony's new flagship should have a bigger change
Finally, someone can speak fluently, doesn't feel the need for being theatrical and just tell us what we want to know. Thank you and big thumbs up :) :)
The XA2 is just beautiful. Nice midrange phone.
From Mediatek to Snapdragon, from 720p to 1080p display, and from no FP to has FP.. Totally changed
Andriza Refinaldi and from 5 inch to 5.2 inch screen display, and from 2300 mah to 3300 mah and the price bro is affordable. Nice sony, can’t wait to have it.
God I miss these designs.. while world is busy with notches dropnotch and what not.. I’m still in love with these bricks..
The Xa2 - finally Sony has made a good mid ranger.
not good I would say excellent
I really prefer the fingerprint scanner on the side as a power button
I am waiting for the full review but from content that I've seen here and on other channels, reviewers do give a positive feedback about XA2 and it is great to hear that :) + seeing that XA1 has 2018 January security patch let's me trust Sony to bring regular software updates to XA2 as well :)
Rokas Anonimas xa1 have touch problem l hate that phone
Love the XA2 with a mid-range price comes with 120fps slow motion video, this is the reason I'm getting this phone.
Gabriel Hernandez have you got it yet and is it louder than xa1
Dang that silver Xperia XA2 Ultra looks great
Genza yeah same, when i was thinking about a new phone last month i was heavily leaning on sony's side, and would've gotten the xz premium if it wasn't fpr the high price relatively to thw phone i ended up getting, the xiaomi mi mix 2
This is not the ultra
Edis Delgado it looks sexy anyways
A shame they didn't find the budget for stereo speakers.... The XA1 just doesn't make enough noise and if the XA2 is the same you will miss notifications while out and about.
my XA1 got a touchscreen problem tho, i've search if someone have the same problem and there are lots of them got the same problem.
It does, my wife's went out at the bottom and top.
Both XA2 and Nokia 6(2018) are very good upgrades
After updating to oreo with my xa1, I can no longer multi send text messages. Is there a way to activate this back again?
I recently discovered the one handed operation on my Sony Xperia XA1.
nice review, please compare with xa1 plus too, theyre quite close in spec
You are great man
an upgrade from XA1 to XA2 is a good idea? I am pretty happy with XA1 though!
Captain John is there any problem on touch on edges of screen?
Captain John have a terrible touch issues with xa1
subscribed,now do this same thing for XA2 ULTRA,do more with camera...
The Sony XA2 video camera can record in slow motion but the XA1 can't? Is that correct. With the XA1 if it cannot record in slow motion can you later put videos in to slow motion with editing software?

Deciding between XA1 and XA2 to buy and good video camera is a definite must for me but XA1 is lot cheaper so if only minor improvement in quality I'll go for XA1. Thanks for help!
Love this phone I was going to regret getting it instead of the iPhone X but the 23 megapixel camera which can record 4k video got me
I read that they both have the same brightness in nits.I noticed that the XA 2 had auto bright. set on.Think that made a difference?Anyone have a problem with dim screen on XA 2?
I stick to my XA1, much better design and size. You feel the thickness of the new one. XA1 much brighter screen too, resolution not a problem, good cámara, great battery life. Got the gold version so pretty elegant. Y did prefer the speaker in the xa2.
reijavmanga hi
Is there any touch issues on the edge of screen on xa1?
does the xa2 camera have the same wide angle as the xa1 rear cam? i really love that on xa1, but planning of upgrade to xa2 because of terrible touch issues on xa1
I'm still using the xa1 in 2020
If only SONY fastly adapted the 18:9 screen ratio with this phone it will be a different story
I want to know is there some problem with xa1 touch? There is some news that touch on the edge is problematic in xa1.
I really wanna buy xperia so anyone with experience with xa1?
yep got that problem after 1-2months of usage
The reason I bought the XA1 was budget camera with a decent lens. I like the look of the Xa2.
JamesDelta hi
Is there any touch problem on the edges of screen?
It's a shame that the XAs aren't water resistant and lack slo-mo camera.
xa1 has plastic camera lens,does the xa2 also or is it glass?
I heard that the sound is not great when using the 3.5 mm jack. Is that true and how dependent is the sound on the jack? I thought that it's the headphones that matter (they do anyway), not the jack...
I have had the phone for 1 and a half months and I like it. I don't have the aforementioned audio quality issues - in fact, there is a sound-enhancing technology in the device for headphones which works okay.
There seems to be inferior audio quality in terms of recording sound (it is a bit muffled), however, or it might be just the microphone on my unit.
can you do a camera test and including the autofocus test ?
my xa1 has terrible touch issues....
I'm getting this Phone
can anyone tell when sony xa2 launching in india
Great vid!!! 😀
Sony has a history of releasing phones with Wi-Fi connectivity issues. Has this problem been fixed on the XA2? Does it repeatedly drop its Wi-Fi connection as previous Xperia models do?
Are the new Sony phones still waterproof
Terrible lighting, have to up my phone brightness 80% just to see the damn phones. Your phones are in the dark while your background has too much light. Shine some light on the phone FFS!
So bad that XA2 isn't as slim as my Lime Gold XA, still I own blue XA2 so time will show :)
That was a very nice video. XA2 wins hands-on over xa1. One suggestion, your audio could have been better.
I bought an xa1 10 months ago. And it has touchscreen problem for 3 months. I sent it to warranty today. (21-05-2018) I wish they pay me my money back. I dont want to use sony anymore.

Design like xa1
Is there gonna be upcoming xa2 plus?
Design looks quite well, Sony to me are the best phones.
Great review thanks.
Just one thing 10:28 seems that the price is 'tteh hundred pounds for both 😂
Now the xa1 already updated to oreo.
And looking by desain, i choose xa1 more than xa2.
The side finger print is sony signature. Xa2 now she looks like xiaomi.
And looking xz2, it's sad that sony starting to follow the mainstream desain.
Xperia Xa2 does it comes with double tap to wake??
No triple tap
Hardy2181 No quadruple tap
Camera on XA1 with oreo will be the same as XA2. Photo, not video.
The xa1 has the one handed operation as well
Android noogaw
What's changed?
1. Design
2. Procecor
3. Fingerprint scanner
4. Kamera
5. Battery
And what the worst I think is the UI. Nothing canged. ✌✌

polycarbonate, you mean plastic?
xa2 v oppo f5 đi ad
1:19 dang, that thing looks thick!
THICC
I hear that a lot
Please do XA1 Ultra vs XA2 Ultra..👍
Watching in my xa1
Love my xa2
Should I get XA2 in black or silver?
Double J I'm thinking the same question
I ended up buying the Black before seeing either in person. I finally saw the Silver in person and it looks pretty sharp. Things to consider is if you get a case they usually only come in black and if you plan to resell it later, black would probably be easier. If I had to do it again though, I would probably give the Silver a chance.
Watch this video too ruclips.net/video/cfkAT9vuF_o/видео.html
Price
@recombu... What do you do with the electronics you review? If you get to keep them, could you please donate the xperia xa2 to me?
Lynn James he sent it back to this phone sender after he's done review
zairul jr oh... I thought I'd get lucky lol. I have the xa1 but I prefer the xa2
Thanks anyway
Do you have any issue with the screen
On xa1
I have the XA2 a very fair phone but the camera is terrible. I mean i have been using it for two weeks but didnt manage to get a crisp picture yet.
Im watching this to see if I should get the xa2 for my birthday
XA2 looks far better than XA1.....I'm tempted to change my original XA
Please have to realize its only $350 and not $900 so you cant have everything.
Is XA2 Camera Software still slow as on the XA1?
I think not, it has similar speed of the xperia z5 (quite fast). I don't know about you but it seems like they used the same camera on the xa2 as on the z5. Well, looks good! :D
What remained unchanged? Those thick occupying onscreen softkey!!!
not much difference, just a bit more icing on the cake :-D
i prefer XA1, flat back is much better
I would have liked to pay 30$ more for 64gb but oh well. Fokkin bloat
Xa1 has touchscreen problem. I sent it to warranty, they changed the screen but it came broken. I sent it back to sony warranty. This time they wanted money to repair my phone. I'm so angry about that. They sent broken phone to me and they want money. I won't buy any Sony from now on. Until now, I used 7 sony phones and I was a sony lover. But thats enough...

Sony xa1plus speed test Sony xa2
Had an xa1 camera was awesome
love you tons
hahaha
I'm confused between Xperia XA2 and Nokia 7. Pricing will be deciding factor.
Chandan M xa2
If you want your phone not to slow down over the time then definitely XA2+ battery stays well bcz of that qnovo charging tech.
Nokia is slow when compared to Sony. Software on sony phones are fast and clean. Same spec = Sony win. Of course if Nokia offers better hardware, then go for it
I WANT XA2 MY GODDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
I had the XA1 for 8 months before it shut down and died. I got a Samsung galaxy which is amazing. I wouldn't reccomend the Sony xperia
Having been fool enough to acquire an XA1, I am not going to even consider an XA2. The XA1 is a total piece of garbage. Shame on Sony.
Cant believe the XA2 dropped 3% in 11 minutes.
Near enough the same design as previous with Sony and only 3gb of Ram...Much rather have the Honor 7 X for less money Sim Free and with 4gb of Ram and 64gb of Rom :-)
Hello other Russ B, this is sim free too and it is more stock android. Which the honor phones lack. My preference
All phones are Sim Free...Dependant on country...That's your choice mate :-)
Don't buy those Chinese phones. But again that's your choice bro
I've been buying Chinese phones from China for 5-6 yrs now and never had any problems :-) There cheap, but i change my phone every 6 months or so :-)
Why's That ??????????
Feel Sony is outside time and always behind somehow... All their phones are few years behind and kinda don't change much over time...
Look at:
Samsung Galaxy S5 and S6 (jump in everything)...
S7 and S8 (jump in everything)
iPhone 7 and iPhone X (jump in everything)
Pixel XL first and second gen...
SONY PHONES - SAME, SAME, SAME, SAME, SAME, SAME, SAME, SAME....SAME BEZELS, SAME DIM DISPLAY, SAME BLOODY PREMIUM OUTDATED MEDIOCRITY...
Good, old Sony - same package with slightly better internals annually...
TheRussianLondoner nope
TheRussianLondoner wait for sony flagship
Well old is gold they say
sony has their own design.. not other smartphone just copy and paste... sony also better in ram management...
TheRussianLondoner, you are exaggerating 😁 75% SBR (screen to body ratio) in XA2 is competitive in comparison to other midrangers and it has improved, I just would say that it lacks water resistance, but in general it is a good phone :) this year they have some bigger changes in plans and you would be correct, if you would have said this after the release of XZ1 lineup, but now we can see a shift in SBR with the regular XA2 + Sony's new flagship should have a bigger change
