Best looking phone on the market. I love how Sony says a big fuck u to all the round corners trend going on now, and actually has edges to hold on to as well.
I'm buying it.. this Feb 2019 As my birthday gift... #Sony is always the best I love the rectangular shape Ever since I never liked the curved edge of Samsung Or any other brand's.. - And I'm impressed of the selfie Shot even with the full lightnings at the background.. bravo! And the quality of the Audio wow!... so Sony'💙 #iJustLoveSony The first Apple in it's time
I had this phone for about a week. Returning it today. It's a great phone but the rear camera is really weak. Unless you have a well lit scene, the shot will be subpar. This is even with setting the app to manual mode and adjusting for HDR. The screen is really good for messia consumption and the single speaker is actually decently loud. I couldn't live with the camera but if that's not a driving point for you, the XA2 Ultra is worth a look.
I agree, I had to return the phone as well. It was a good phone, but the camera recorder kept "jumping" no matter how slow I was moving the video recorder around. It kept having to refocus each and every time. I thought maybe it was me so I did everything and read every article, even did the steadyshot but it still kept jumping. Since I was withing the 14 days I returned it and bought the oneplus 6t instead.
I love this phone, surround sound, the camera, for me it's better than any phone, playing games just perfect, the battery is great, the problem are some calls drops, it don't go through with T Mobile.. Other than that, I got no complaints..
i replaced the launcher with flick launcher because the desktop and app drawer screens are confusing. I also put power shades because the notification area is not upto standard and made the app drawer vertical scrolling with a white background to bring it into a modern day era phone. Although my phone upgraded to Android Pie Sony disabled a lot of these things so i had install more apps on top to get the effects back.
Massive phone and I'm loving it, was so done with those skinny displays, this is how you watch content on a phone, they should have added stereo speakers tho.
Got rid of my iPhone 7 plus and iwatch. Chose this Sony xperia xa2 ultra over the huawei mate 10 pro because of price. I was able to get a Samsung gear 3 watch with the extra money I saved. I like this phone because I have big hands. It's doesn't operate flawlessly like iPhone but a close 98%. The Samsung watch works very well with it. I better go do my homework.

Love the industrial design of the XA series. Although the Ultra is too huge. Sony has finally got the midrange right this year. Now if only Sony would get these to India and price them sensibly.
I have xa2 ultra but it is on its way out so igot a dual sim model off the xa2 ultrahd oline it is new old stock igot it becuse the new phones look rubishbring back metal phones soney
Wait does AVG PRO version come pre-installed on the phone? The front facing cameras compensated very well for the light you need test the rear facing camera outside
I am leaning towards getting this phone (after months of not being able to commit to my next phone purchase!) but I hear differing experiences with using it on T Mobile. Has anyone here had issues?
It works just fine on Tmobile, but VoLTE and WiFi calling are not available on this device. A custom rom may remedy this, unless it's firmware related. But this phone also has the benefit of being able to install and test Sailfish OS, so that could be a plus.
I love this Xperia so much. But sadly, it doesn't have MHL. My antique old Xperia SP does have. You see... I simply hate wireless screen mirroring because I had unpleasant moments with wireless screen mirroring. MHL is still to me, the best.
I honestly think the XA1 Ultra is far better than the XA2 Ultra, it only has a bigger battery than XA1 Ultra. I just got this XA2, and I'm beyond disappointed!
How’s this phones performance today? Any information is greatly appreciated. Best Buy is now selling @ $250.00 American Looking for a bigger phone atm.
Go get it! Peforms smooth. I dropped it on concrete without a case and while I got minor scratches and chips, my screen did not crack!! Durable! Now I got a case 👍
+Tim Scholfield This Sony phone is actually a really nice looking phone. I kind of think most of Sony's phone look nice, except the fact their still not slimming those bezels down. They really need to do that.
The xz2 is absolutely fantastic I own it and my brother in law owns this phone the A1 other than the A1 has a 6"screen xz2 has so much more than the A1 the good thing is both are similar but a1has better pixel camera buy 4 megapixels but the xz2is 64g anyhow its a good phone especially for the price...
@@thisismescotthathawayistha4071 yep i know, even 64gb is far enough storage for me, with expandable memory. I own XA2 Ultra and I'm pretty satisfied. Yes, I prefer Sony XZ2 than S9. 🤗
Pete, I've read it works 100% on T-Mobile (don't take my word though...) If you can, return yours if you ordered!!...B&H has it for $270. (Mine's on it's way.:) )
SavageArfad people's preference. You can't force people to buy wireless headphones. The headphones they have already are probably better than an average Bluetooth only headset because BT compresses the audio. I only ever use BT when going to the gym but apart from that, I always prefer the jack. I have both ofcourse because I'm using a non compromise phone. There's no argument to remove it. I still have the latest BT chip (BT 5.0) so even when using BT I have the best it can offer but I can also get something better when I want: the jack. It's a noticeable difference between the jack and BT's audio. Some people priotise quality over fashionable. These are practical and smart people.
2023 and still champ.
Nothing replaced speed is just fast as new and the battery like first day.

Gotta be better than the trash camera on an s5.
the camera is alright, is not that bad at all, remember different people like different things, as for me, the camera is good!👍

Sony is pretty good about updates. I used to have an Xperia X and I was getting monthly security patches and even the Oreo update.
TheHermitArcana damn. That's an old phone now
Even Xperia z3 plus got Oreo update too.... 😆
@@zetazaku8045 bruh I'm still on my Z3 chillin with 6.0.1
@@99Venom It can depend on your region and even network provider as to weather it gets supported.
When the midrange looks better than the flagships.
Must be a different design team.

The XZ design is the best design for me period
Thanks for that review. I was debating what to get next. Don't want a China phone - one plus, huawei - so this might be it.
jk08 OnePlus is actually Hong Kong. You know Hong Kongs don't like to be called Chinese

What do you think is better this or the Samsung A8 2008?
I have the xa1. Xperias are the best in my eyes 👀
Wait does AVG PRO version come pre-installed on the phone? The front facing cameras compensated very well for the light you need test the rear facing camera outside
What's the point of having one front facing camera with OIS while rear camera lacks it?
Looks like a great phone.
Are you going to review the XZ2? Some reviews said it is a great phone.
Another Good unboxing video Tim 🤗.
Thank You, JL ^_^
It looks like a power bank
e.arwaikey yeah they are good with energy efficiency

Still Handsome even now😅😅🤩🤩
The phone now is $249.00 on Amazon. A hell of a deal considering iPhone and Samsung phones pushing $1000.00 LOL
Thanks for the vid so cute 😍
looking hancy sir.nice job
They should have given a SD660 atleast.
630 function well in XA2 Ultra. Maybe because they optimized the system for it.
Where can I get this phone now?!

used north american version. type in sony xperia "model" used at their website.
Does this phone have dual-SIM functionality?
Yes
No
@@joygarnett1704 it has.

I like this phone much more than the XZ2 , if only Sony had put the 835 or 845 in this phone 🙄 .
IT looks so much better than the Razer Phone
Sony phones not available on Verizon
Does s9 have 4k
Who think Z ultra more beautiful?
Para cuando el xa3 ultra

Nice phone 👍👌
Reminds me of a Lumia windows phone.
YOU'LL BE MORE IMPRESSED FOR HUAWEI P20 AND P20 PRO!
I don't know why Sony is ruining it's brand goodwill....... seriously man this BIG bezels in 2018...... SERIOUSLY
Someone of us do like bezels
I prefer this over Iphone X lookalike and other curved sidescreen phones.
Tejas Joshi I also like bezel so don't talk for everyone. Only talk for yourself
Bezel phone is better than bezeless phone for gaming
Agree Sir. Hate that 18:9 ratio
It's nice
why does a dream is always a "can't afford thing"?. :(
send one to me
I’m bored of iPhones now and want to test this out in 2022, anybody recommend it?
Totally
The phone looks pretty thick.
Nice sir
SONY Xperia XA2 plus
design is better than XZ2
