Sony Xperia XA Ultra unlocked smartphone,16GB Black (US Warranty)

I'm a cell phone addict, I have played with a number of devices ranging from the Oneplus 2, Galaxy S7, and Nexus 6P over the past year. I have to say for 298 with the 64gb sd card, this was a steal. The build quality of the device is fantastic, it has NFC, and a 1080P display. The battery while not large seems to work just fine, and Stamina mode can help extend the life even further.I'm averaging about 5.5 to 6 hours of screen on time which for a 2700 mah battery, 6" display, and octacore processor is fantastic. Signal seems to be strong, and reliable, call quality is good and bluetooth works great. The cameras are solid as well I've been snapping pics of my dog. Performance is solid, while it is in fact a Mediatek P10 processor it is more than capable of handling day to day tasks and basic gaming. The screen is responsive, and clear, with good viewing angles, and is an AMOLED panel.The build quality of the phone is top notch, it feels great and balanced in your hand, and while extremely large is a smaller footprint than an iPhone 6s Plus or original Nexus 6 thanks to the bezeless sides.Only thing I wish this had is a fingerprint reader, and a tap to wake feature so I didn't always need to use the power button. Other than that I love my new device!

I ordered this to get away from the phone contracts. Also tired of Samsung or Apple being the only majority choice on T- mobile. In my opinion Samsung's Galaxy phones are overrated . As for Apple tired of their DRM bullshit. I ordered this phone 1 and a half years ago. And I have not had a single problem with it. No slow downs. No freeze ups. No battery problems. I always had a feeling Apple was slowing down their phones and the truth just came to light recently. Don't get me wrong. I'm not a Apple or Samsung hater. In fact I was a big Apple fan back in 2007 when they released the Iphone. And I was a Samsung Galaxy fan also. I had the Galaxy 1 , Galaxy 2, and Galaxy 8 Edge. But after a while just got tired of their little upgrades here and there every year. And they both charge and arm and a leg for their flagship phones. So I went to Sony XA Ultra. This phone was fast on booth up, fast on apps , great camera. Beautiful phone in white. Sony had the AR effect on my phone already. And apple just came out with it on the Iphone 8 or is it the Iphone X recently . That is a joke . All in All great phone. Just to let you know this review is 1 and a half years later bought the phone in Sept of 2016 and it is already April 2018. I still have the phone and still runs great. I had just bought the unlocked Sony Xperia XA2 and upgraded.

Six months in...I've been using this phone for a solid six months now, and can offer a longer term review.Pros:A) Stunning display.B) Build quality is very good.C) Quickly linked to my PS4 and Sony XBR850 TV. The included media function turns into a remote control for the TV, great for turning off the TV when the kiddos aren't listening so well.D) The onscreen keyboard is great in landscape mode, I frequently am using it one handed.E) I can watch 4-5 hours of video on a charge.CONS:A) The ridiculously small battery drains in record time. There are a few YouTube videos than can explain how to disable all the nonessential stuff that can help save the battery life. But, you will have to be vigilant about the updates turning stuff back on. Take your charger with you if you are going to be out all day, or are constantly using the phone.B) Sony has filled this phone with bloatware (of their own) that eats up over half of the on board memory. You can't delete them. Some of thebloatware is useful, but much of it I don't use.C) Mine frequently tells me my TF card is corrupt and needs formatting. Usually a hard turn of and restart will fix the issue but other times it wont.D) It doesn't have an easy to replace battery for a hotswap like my Lumias did.E) It doesn't run on the Windows Mobile 10OS.Overall, if you want to avoid the constant upgrade cycle of the iPhone and Samsung lines, or want to avoid being locked into a contract; buy this phone. I despise the iOS and Android platforms, the former is vastly overrated and expensive, the latter is infested with Google spy tech. I disabled as much of Android functions and replaced them with the Microsoft versions, (yep they are only marginally better at not spying on you).The phone is a solid performer in the midrange / budget category that will do it's job with the typical SONY aplomb.One day in and the verdict is still out. I had to replace a Microsoft 950 I misplaced. I have been using Windows phones for years, and really hate Google so this was a tough decision to go to an android phone.Pros: Gorgeous phone overall, the six inch display is amazing. It charges quickly. It was simple to activate at AT&T.Cons: It is a good thing it charges quickly, as the battery drains fast. I haven't tried stamina mode yet. Does not come with headphones or an owners manual. The manual is download able at Sony mobile.com.Speaker is a joke and the microphone is near useless when phone is 14 inches from face. Does not sync well with MS pm, tablet, Xbox etc... As the MS 950 did.Android OS is not as intuitive as Windows Phone 10.

This is an excellent phone for 250 bucks. If you like taking selfies especially. They didn't nick name this phone lord of the selfies for nothing. The frontal camera is fantastic. This is one of the few devices that offer a flash for the frontal cam furthermore apps run very smoothly and it's a pretty fast phone very little wait time for loading pages etc and easily handles running multiple applications. Is user friendly very easy to use the only real down side to this phone is that it has a small battery for the size of the phone and drains quickly when below 30% streaming video or playing games. It charges a bit slow but has over all decent battery life. With that being said I don't think you will find a better phone at the price.

El ceiular llego al siguiente día, solo que la caja del celular se veía que estaba abierta, no faltaba nada y el celular tenía sus micas de nuevo y venía sin defectos ni nada pero pensé que vendría empaquetado, funcionó. Bien hasta ahorita, solo tengo una duda y le escribí al proveedor, como hago válida la garantía en dado caso de necesitarlo o pedí un ticket y factura y no me ha respondido

Me gusta aunque era algo grande para mi justo funciona de maravilla y la batería dura bastante en inactivo en activo no sabría decir ya que un no le e dado un uso intenso, con lo que dice en de la memoria y los videos no entiendo al insertar una sd el mismo celular te dice si quieres guardar las cosas en esta será que ni le saben mover

El celular en general me ha funcionando muy bien. No incluye audífonos pero en ningún lugar se menciona que vienen incluidos. El envío fues más rápido de lo que esperaba. Las cámaras son muy buenas para un celular de esta gama, tiene una de las mejores cámaras frontales que he visto en un celular. La pantalla tiene buena resolución y me agrada bastante el hecho que los marcos de los costadoa del celular sean tan delgado, hace parecer que tiene una pantalla curveada, el móvil es muy vistoso y grande pero te acostumbras a su uso muy rápido. Respecto a la batería, es regular, no dura mucho la carga pero tampoco poco aunque si esperaba una mejor batería considerando el tamaño del móvil. La pantalla no tiene gorila glass pero de igual manera es resistente a rayones,hay que ser cuidadosos con la parte trasera (Tapa), esta es muy susceptible a tener rayones (les recomiendo usar la funda que diseño Sony para este móvil). La memoria es ridículamente pequeña, solo 16GB y el sistema operativo y las aplicaciones preestablecidas ya ocupan 8 GB, claro esto se soluciona con una memoria externa pero hay algunas aplicaciones que he no se pueden instalar en esta. En conclusión es un muy buen celular, excelente relación precio/calidad, solo no lo recomiendo si eres de las personas que utiliza muchas aplicaciones.

Llegó 5 días antes, super eficaz el servicio, no hubo ningún problema y la caja llegó en excelente estado, la caja si contiene audífonos y en cuanto al equipo esta hermoso! Más grande de lo esperado pero se paga con sus características, es hermoso!

A mí me gustan mucho los productos Sony, pero en esta ocasión este aparato me decepcionó un poco la cámara es muy inferior a lo que realmente describe la publicación, se calienta mucho el dispositivo al tomar fotos y videos aunado a que la interfaz es un poco lenta
