Sony Xperia XA looks great but still fails to impress

2016-08-10
the xperia XA is one of the best-looking phones Sony has launched in a while gone is the blocky design of phones like the Xperia Z at five replaced instead with this edge to edge display although this is a mid-price phone the almost total lack of bezel gives it the look of a much more premium handset it also means that although it's packin a 5-inch display there's no wasted space around it making it very comfortable to use in one hand and it's skinny enough to easily slide into your jeans that's where my positivity for this phone starts to dwindle though that display might be packed in tight but the quality of the screen itself isn't great it's low resolution colors don't impress and it's none too bright either while most of Sony's phones used to come with water-resistant components that's not the case with the XA so do keep it away from all of your spilled drinks it runs on Android 6.0 marshmallow which is easy to navigate but Sony has loaded it up with so much additional bloat where it makes it feel quite cluttered from the moment you turn it on now that's something of the problem when the phone itself has a meager amount of built-in storage to begin with you'll really need to make use of that microSD card slot at least the octa-core processor is powerful enough for all your social networking needs and will manage a spot of gaming on your commute as well on the back is a 13 megapixel camera which takes pretty decent shots and the eight megapixel camera on the front isn't bad either overall I'm frustrated by the xperia x a as its slick design got me excited about the phone but I was quickly let down by what I found after turning its arm for much less money you can pick up the motorola moto G 4 Plus which has a better screen a higher resolution camera a fingerprint scanner and that water-resistant design making it an all-round better Buy you
