Sony Xperia XA2 32 GB Android O UK SIM-Free Smartphone - Black

Brilliant phone for the price. Its looks are very appealing, with a great display (especially when vivid mode is on). It's very responsive and smooth, with more than capable performance in more intense apps. The camera is amazing and to be quite honest it's every bit as good as my Google Pixel's camera, with 60FPS 1080p video recording (though personally I find 30FPS 4K to look nicer). Selfie camera is serviceable with a very wide lens. While it only has a single downward firing speaker, it's fairly loud and surprisingly high quality - certainly not too tinny at all. The battery is also superb! With light to moderate usage you can seriously squeeze two or three days out of it between charges, which is conveniently done through USB-C. On the software side it comes with a lot of Sony apps, some useful but unfortunately a lot are pure bloatware. It comes preloaded with AVG anti-virus which for some reason cannot be uninstalled, though its functionality can be heavily reduced to the point of it not mattering. The only other issue I can really think of is the lack of ambient display, but that's not a big deal at all, especially given the price. This is a fantastic phone that has served me very well so far. Never making the mistake of buying a top-of-the-line flagship again!

Firstly this is a genuine review! I always do lots of research and the Xperia was on a short list of 2. I've had this phone a couple of months now and I'm glad I opted for the Xperia XA2. There are two versions of the XA2 - one with an enormous screen and the one I have which has a 5.2 inch screen so it fits a female hand very well. The phone is very tactile but is quite slippery - the addition of a cheap silicon case has solved the problem and gives protection in day to day use. The camera is fab but then this is a Sony phone so it should be. A really great thing about this phone is that you can easily uninstall many of the pre-loaded apps (unlike phones I've previously had) that you don't want and it's easy to install apps you do want. You can add extra storage up to 128Gb so I have a 64 Gb micro SD card for music and photos. The phone connects easily to a PC with the supplied cable making it a doddle to transfer photos and music both ways. The phone "talks" to my Panasonic camera with out a fuss using Panasonic's image app meaning I can view photos taken on the camera, transfer them to the phone for emailing etc and the phone can also be a remote control. The phone is very fast and has plenty of RAM. All in all I think this is an excellent reasonably priced phone at the £199 I paid for it (have seen it at £250 in a well known phone shop) which does everything I want it to do.

So, the screen isn't OLED which is the first turn off, but I was actually open to having a lesser screen for the better camera.... oh boy... The camera is garbage, and S6 and S7 both have vastly superior cameras, like, the detail difference is crazy, how is this camera so bad? And I'm not the only one to complain about it, online reviews call it terrible also. I wish i'd have read them, the phone was returned and refunded in full thanks to amazon. The phone itself was actually pretty nice, all in all it was a good phone, it was fast and responsive enough, just slightly let down by the screen and the ever so terrible camera. Sony's own speil for selling this claims the camera is kick ass, but in 3 days and about 20 different camera apps later, I couldn't get a photo that was better than an S6's camera and it was nowhere near as good as the S7's.

Replaced a previous older Sony mobile with this Sony Xperia A2. Better shaped screen than the previous one, has a few extra features, ie fingerprint ID. Works slightly different to the older versions, but easy enough to prick up. The only feature I wished it did have was a fuller screen - top to bottom, but for the price, it's a good phone. Takes good photos and the sound is quite good.

Upgraded from a Sony z3 compact after the screen started to break, and the battery was lasting a couple hours... after 3 years. I wanted to stick with a Sony product as I have found that there quality compared to other phones I've had are superior. And boy was I not disappointing. This thing is a beast, Amazing looking screen that gets bright, a nice size battery that lasts way more than a day "Even Whilst Gaming and Watching Videos!", and a really decent camera. The finger print scanner is quick and works well, and so far I have had zero problems with this phone. It also came with a screen protector pre-installed which is a bonus. In the box I received all the standard stuff, Wall plug, Usb type-C cable, and a pair of Earphones. I haven't tried them yet as I have a nice pair of AKG's but they look high quality, The audio from the speaker is also really loud at full volume, louder than any phone I have had before anyway. Talking about high quality this phone feels great and high-end despite the price. 10/10 Phone. TL:DR, 10/10 phone, amazing battery life, Strong Camera, a beautiful LCD screen, and great features for the price.

good mobile only use a little time its very solid it can do a lot my grandaughter set it up for me sony have been a good mobile for me to use would recomend
