Watching this video and typing this response from my xperia xa2 ultra. Its been a great phone for me over the past 18 or so months. Getting ready to switch over next month to the Razer Phone 2 since you get top flagship specs(2018), 120hz QHD screen, dual Dolby speakers, ip67 ratings and its only $399 currently on Amazon and razers website
I'm 8 months late to the party but I'm watching this video on my brand new Sony Xperia XA2 Ultra which I just bought 2 days ago and I love it so much. I'm a fan of the boxy build and I prefer the 16:9 aspect ratio over the 18:9. I am sad that the XA2 Ultra will be the last phone that Sony will use this design for.
Very late to this party but I am also using the xa2 ultra and had it for roughly 18 months. I to still prefer the 16:9 over the skinny 18:9 and worse 19.5:9. I'm actually going to be switching to the Razer phone 2. Its tailored to gaming but still functions as a regular flagship phone and its a 5.72" screen with dual front firing Dolby speakers and 2018 flagship specs(snapdragon 845 and 630gpu, 4000mAh battery, quick charge 4+, 1440p screen and the best part its still using the 16:9 ratio!) And its currently $399 on Amazon and razers website. Great deal for flagship spec phone and a very nice upgrade over the xperia xa2 ultra
Recently replaced XA1 ultra by Samsung A50 and after one week I want to get back my Sony. XA1 ultra has wide display that is why I have difficulties with typing text in A50, also bigger display in Samsung isn't bigger if it comes to watch movies, besides it navigation in A50 does not work properly.
there is a huge price difference now as of today and at $190 i will have to go with the XA1 ultra as i didnt see anything worth paying almost double for.
You say it's not the brightness screen, but I noticed that you have Adaptive Brightness turned on for both phones... I'll be going to look at a open box XA2 Ultra tomorrow. Having them side by side really helped me make my decision. Thanks bro.
Does anyone know if the XA2 Ultra has "screen mirroring" built in? I want to watch youtube on my smart tv but tv doesnt have miracast or googlecast fitted. Its not so smart! Thanks
After using both of them I can tell you a difference that you missed. Even though both have two microphones only the XA2 Ultra uses the two microphones as stereo microphones.
Lol, or u can just ORDER it. I ain't think these phones are bein sold in stores of USA etc except the Asian stores. I just bought mine from where it was made from lol in Asia n I can tell u how beautiful it is.
I would like to know if the quality of sound is very good with Bluetooth headphones? I am very interested to buy this new Xperia smartphone to substitute my old Xperia Z for an alternative smartphone.
Excuse me, I have an XA1 ultra and screen colour doesn't look like that, you definitely fiddled with the screen settings and the XA1 ultra does not have a plastic look or a bare look to it but each to their own with that but the screen is definitely not it looks like in the video.
Agreed witchu lol. Both of the phones are the bombs but I think Sonny Xperia XA1 Ultra is way longer than Sonny Xperia XA2 ultra so what a shame🙄🙄🙄🙄🤦🏿♀️🤦🏿♀️🤦🏿♀️🤦🏿♀️🤦🏿♀️🤦🏿♀️. Ain't know why they didn't make it the same size as the 1st one🙄🙄🙄🙄🤦🏿♀️🤦🏿♀️🤦🏿♀️🤦🏿♀️🤦🏿♀️.
Recombu, you have good reviews but lay off the colour grading! We want true to life colours shown, not colour graded for the ever so popular nowadays "cinematic" look, which I totally do not get at all for a review video.
Gaming and Console Tech I did that. I bought the XA1 Ultra for $179 at Bestbuy but then I realized I had to have 4K video so I bought the XA2 Ultra. And the XA2 Ultra can do something else the XA1 Ultra cannot. The XA2 Ultra records videos with left and right microphones where there is no separation of the microphones on the XA1 Ultra.
Gaming and Console Tech I have a video about showing off the 4K screen on an XZ Premium that you might be interested in at: ruclips.net/video/UVFsHLDhjEI/видео.html
I got the xa2, it sucks no memory if you use a SD card still no memory bc you can't transfer any apps only music pics and video. You can not remote play on ps4 it is not supported on all other xperia phones it is but if u go to a xa1 you don't got the power if you go to a xz premium the screen is smaller and lacks other things the xa2 has but it has memory remote play 4k everything xa2 is 1080p plays will play 4k upscale the pictures suck not a very bright phone compared to a note 4 I have this phone bc of screen size and its cheap 400 new for a upgraded hardware phone but lacks in alot of places. The only way to get a screen as big for remote play is the xz2 ultra premium it has everything but it's 900 and it is still smaller at 5.7 compared to the 6 inch even xz premium may have all the goodies it is at a 5.5 display and is noticeably smaller. Why can't I get a phone the same size if not bigger then a note 4 1 phone that has it all not 1 or 2 things then have to sacrifice something you want for something else they all should have. Like all the phone short people on tech options camera mp memory 1 phone has some things the other phone has the things the other doesn't and not being able to use a SD card on anything on some 32gig have 12,gig after boot up put same games on no pics no video or 4k video not alot of apps then bam 5gig left 128,gig on SD card that I can only use for pics wtf dude on a note 4 I could at least put some apps on the dam thing!!!!
I wish you would have reviewed the audio between the two I still use the original XA Ultra. That one has a down-firing speaker the xa1 ultra has a front firing speaker and the xa2 ultra went back to a down-firing speaker. I appreciate your video comparing the two models, it would have been nice to have a comparison between both speakers.
Recombu is probably the only channel right now that features further information about the XA2 Ultra.
I love Sony!! Typing this on my XA1 Ultra!!
Yay another user
Same
Mines been rock solid for over a year now!

The camera you are using makes these screens look dull compared to how they look in person
Maikeru Dabittsu we can't even see the difference of those phone . That coloure was blAck . And dark ,no light
the first thing i noticed is that the xa2 ultra has a deeper black and sharper screen and better details.
Yep it's true.
Recently replaced XA1 ultra by Samsung A50 and after one week I want to get back my Sony.

Can you do a side by side comparison between Sony Xperia xa 2 ultra vs the Nokia 7 plus..?
XA2 screen definitely looks better than the XA1. Thx for the comparison.
You say it's not the brightness screen, but I noticed that you have Adaptive Brightness turned on for both phones...
I'll be going to look at a open box XA2 Ultra tomorrow. Having them side by side really helped me make my decision. Thanks bro.

What’s like the RAM managment on both phones? Is it better on new model or worse?
do you know how to hide the navigation buttons? thanks
you can't
@@justarandomhandlewithnomeaning Thanks
Does the XA2 Ultra have nfc? it looks great for me I need a new phablet.👍
Dominic Clark yes
yes
yes
After using both of them I can tell you a difference that you missed.
Even though both have two microphones only the XA2 Ultra uses the two microphones as stereo microphones.
Does anyone know when the XA2 and XA2 ultra will be available in the U.S. for purchase?
Bigbird Johnson Feb, 16
Lol, or u can just ORDER it. I ain't think these phones are bein sold in stores of USA etc except the Asian stores. I just bought mine from where it was made from lol in Asia n I can tell u how beautiful it is.
The weather info on both phones are not exactly the same, despite being in the exact same location.
please change the background of the screen so i can see the changes on SBR on xa2 ultra...
Great review very detailed overall...✔🙏😇
I would like to know if the quality of sound is very good with Bluetooth headphones? I am very interested to buy this new Xperia smartphone to substitute my old Xperia Z for an alternative smartphone.
Is it worth it to buy a xa1 ultra right now?
Can't wait for it to be released. My XA1 ultra crashes too many times. Says system ui is not responding after the 2 software updates.
Update sony software
@@tidehunter119 Thanks for the reply buddy. I bought a Xiaomi MI Note 10. This phone is like a dream 🖤
looks like the xa1 is trying to update from the icons at the top
Does it has steady shot intelligent auto?
Does anyone know where to get a XA2 Ultra contract? As of 3rd March I can't find much info on where to get it in the UK.
what did you do with the xa1 ultra screen?
he set the white balance really high
Excuse me, I have an XA1 ultra and screen colour doesn't look like that, you definitely fiddled with the screen settings and the XA1 ultra does not have a plastic look or a bare look to it but each to their own with that but the screen is definitely not it looks like in the video.
I'm trying to decide between the XA2 Ultra and the Mate 9, both going for the same price right now...
I, m Sony lover n super fans especially the design💓
Mate 9 is older with android 7 now.but it,s a flagship. Camera n all specs are better
Mate 9!!!
Why does the XA1 screen look so green 🤨
he set the white balance really high
Which one have thin bezels?
XA2
4:34 You can't use this phone as a second PS4 screen. This is not compatible.
Jf Rabs i had Xperia Z3 and it the second screen app doesn't work anymore i think so stopped that
Adrian Torres yeah but the XA1 or XA2 were never compatible from the start. Sony never made them.
*I didn't like at all digital reader to be behind. Sony should not abandon side digital reader never.*
please Sony xa1plus vs Sony xa2
Xa1 ultra is not so bad as it is look so bad in this video
Sorry for bad english
Muzzamil Ahmad i agree my friend! Xa1 it's also a dynamic phone even xa2 is newest.
Agreed witchu lol. Both of the phones are the bombs but I think Sonny Xperia XA1 Ultra is way longer than Sonny Xperia XA2 ultra so what a shame🙄🙄🙄🙄🤦🏿♀️🤦🏿♀️🤦🏿♀️🤦🏿♀️🤦🏿♀️🤦🏿♀️. Ain't know why they didn't make it the same size as the 1st one🙄🙄🙄🙄🤦🏿♀️🤦🏿♀️🤦🏿♀️🤦🏿♀️🤦🏿♀️.

Has xa2 ultra volte
there is no way the stock XA1 screen is that yellow nephew. this is sketchy at best.
he set the white balance really high
I have AT&T and Making a phone call is a joke! Takes a minute to connect if not will just cuts off.
Review first compair design then compare with screen then speed then battery you don’t need to talk and whatch how quickly grow your channel
Shut up jack ass
MediaTek garbage (XA 1 ultra) vs Qualcomm processor (XA 2 ultra), that's the real difference
Good review , all helping toward me choosing which phone to have, thanks for all the info..
That's very lovely
XA2 has an aluminum back, not polycarbonate.
Mntap... dan keren
Pretty sure I’m going for last years XA1 due to not any massive changes. Shame.

And the XA2 Ultra can do something else the XA1 Ultra cannot. The XA2 Ultra records videos with left and right microphones where there is no separation of the microphones on the XA1 Ultra.
Roger Wittekind I ended up getting the XZ PREMIUM due to the a screen issue on my XA1 Ultra... I love the XZ PREMIUM.

I'd honestly be happy if the xa2 ultra supported remote play and had 64g memory or found one with 64g but I'm pretty sure the ultra only has 32..
who better
Digan lo k digan lo sony son. Los mejores
you know what i hate about phones now a days
THE FUCKING BLOATWARE WHY GIVE YOUR PHONE A GOD DAMN LARGE STORAGE BUT HAVE 30% OF IT BE BLOATWARE
Both displays look a tad dull , but the xa1 looks terrible .

selce of bangladesh

I wish you would have reviewed the audio between the two I still use the original XA Ultra.
