amazon Sony Xperia XA reviews
Design
Xperia XA easy to impress in design with lightweight design, slim, especially ultra-thin screen edges makes the device even more serene. Previously, Sony had with the Xperia C5 Ultra with ultra-thin contour that device still causes a little discomfort when handling. With XA, feeling much more comfortable grip by the edges were beveled screen 2.5D curved, contoured edge fits, feels very seamless, comfortable to the hand.
Xperia XA portion of the frame is made from metal, meticulous processing, no details excess, rounded similar to high-end X series. Dark gray version we use, polycarbonate plastic sheet dorsal surface treatment is very orderly: fine, hand grip, rare save fingerprints and fit metal frame. However, when using the user should pay attention because this dorsal may easily scratched shavings.
Details on the complete machine is also good. These transplants are fit together snugly and connectors, buttons are neatly Milling, a good bounce. The location of the power button and volume are placed in a position easy to press.
These points combine to create designs for Xperia XA beautifully designed and comfortable grip feeling, definitely not slippery hands. Just a pity that this phone does not have a fingerprint sensor and thick bottom edge, enough to layout the basic navigation keys, but Sony still bring them to the screen.
Screen
The screen is an important factor contributing to the increased level of perfection in design of Xperia XA: 2.5D curved glass protection, border pieces and good quality display. Xperia XA uses IPS LCD screen 5-inch HD resolution (1280 x 720 pixels) with a pixel density of 294 PPI.
When measured on specialized equipment, machines for the results show quite unexpected: a high maximum brightness, deep blacks, good contrast. Nevertheless renewable non-standard colors, slightly pale.
Xperia’s screen has two modes XA improve familiar images and video on Sony’s Mobile Bravia machines Engine 2 and super vivid mode (Super Vivid) but only works with the default software from Sony as Album photo or video applications. The degree of improvement in color while helping significantly more brilliant image. However, you should only select the Mobile Bravia Engine 2 by the regime of super-vivid mode (Super Vivid) will do the color is too bright, unnatural.
Ability to adjust the white balance also appears on Xperia XA users to customize the primary colors (red, green and blue), but this is relatively complex. Tinkering must carefully you can find a color balance that suits you.
In addition, the Xperia XA screen also features intelligent backlight control keeps the screen is bright, if a user looking at the screen without touching on the screen. This feature actually appeared on some models from other manufacturers and operating principle is to use the front camera to detect whether the user is looking at the screen or not. Thus, if no or reading, you should turn this feature off to save the battery.
Good viewing angle of the screen compared to the price range, color and contrast changes only very small when looked at from different oblique angles. With a high maximum brightness and good contrast, Xperia also has a clear view of the outdoors.
Xperia XA light sensor automatically adjusts screen brightness according to the environment and it works quite well when the light output in the most rational use everyday situations.
Camera

Experience the reality show focusing speed, capture and save images of Xperia XA pretty fast.
Photographing sensitive buttons, easy to manipulate. Stroke machine can grip objects even when the user moves the frame or stick sharp objects are moving. However, this definition features active grip unstable so much time lost definition images obtained.
Xperia XA features HDR shooting, but Sony still “hiding” deep inside and only allows use in M mode (Manual). HDR photo camera and saved quite slow, sometimes severe morning HDR image to be clipped.
Xperia XA interfaces photography no changes compared to the Xperia line recently. The extra features such as more AR effects, sound when taking pictures … still appear. Inconvenient as when in Manual mode you will not be able to immediately switch to video recording mode or add an effect that must move in turn order from Craft> Automation> Camcorder> Effects and back .
Quality photos in well-lit conditions of Xperia XA pretty good. Image sharpness, detail, bright colors, contrast quite. Especially when taking the photos with blue skies, Xperia XA tones tend to push up a little blue makes photos “eye flatter” than.
With dim lighting, remote snapshot for consistent quality. Photo relatively bright, pretty detailed, low-noise particles. Phone still shutter speed, focus and quickly save images in low light conditions.
Xperia XA enables maximum video recording in Full HD quality at 30 fps, the picture quality when recording video to a passable level, auto-focus works well to help grip the frame always clear. Resistance to vibration sounds pretty good but quite poorly received, to turn, distortion, noise and more.
Meanwhile, the photos “take a selfie” from good quality 8MP camera for surprise. Crisp, high-resolution detail, natural color up. Skin beauty regime to work less effectively when help cover imperfections on the face but does not affect image quality. You can also ‘against’ a little fun with effects in the style Portrait mode in the camera app.

Software
Changes in Xperia XA software may notice right from the lock screen. Minimalist interface is more, the application icon is also refreshing in the direction of “flat” merchandise. Air fundamentalist “pure” Google, Sony is not too much customization interface or functionality that was originally taken hold almost original Android interface. Of course, users can still customize interface themes or download additional available from Sony’s app store.
However, Sony still do not really thoroughly as symbols of preinstalled applications and applications that users install not identical, distracting. Quick setting panel also no improvement, too “pure” Google, for instance to enable / disable features adjustable screen brightness automatically still have deep inside. Besides, the Japanese phone company still quite “greedy” when the preset multiple applications unnecessary, useless memory consuming. Memory of Xperia XA 16GB but only 10GB for users to use.
Other notable point is that Sony built SwiftKey is the default keyboard on the Xperia XA. This virtual keyboard is quite popular on Android, supports word prediction, auto-correct mistakes, to learn from the user’s habit, scan key (Flow) with multiple languages (including Vietnamese), ability customizable interface … This diversity is remarkable efforts of the Japanese telephone company when previous default keyboard of the Xperia line for quite a bad experience, especially when typing Vietnamese.
Custom audio portion still Sony cared for very much advanced options. However, the sound quality of the speaker is not very impressive. The volume from the loudspeaker of the machine is quite small.
Performance
Performance, Mediatek MT6755 processor Helio P10, 700MHz GPU T860MP2 Mali, 2GB of RAM brings Xperia XA very smooth experience. Speed open applications, switch multitasking, home screen operation took place quickly with low latency. Only when you open too many applications, the amount of RAM to 2GB of new XA revealed weaknesses and made to download many programs from the beginning. Dead Trigger 2, Suicide Squad or N.O.V.A 3 machine at the highest graphics but played pretty shocked, lag. Reduce down Medium graphics, smooth game play, more smoothly. Measured from point performance as AnTuTu software or GFX Bench of XA are at a good level.
When heavy gaming, photographed or filmed, Xperia XA warming rapidly, concentrated mainly in the upper half of the body.
Battery life
Due to the optimized design of slim and compact outline, Xperia XA is only 2300 mAh battery. This has really affect the battery life of the machine. In actual use, the machine has low battery usage time. With basic tasks such as listening to calls, web browsing, XA office from 8 am to 5 pm is around 15% and need to charge the battery.
Xperia XA is also integrated battery saving familiar features of Sony is STAMINA and Ultra STAMINA but did not help much because the battery capacity is too meager.
Conclude
With Xperia XA, Sony showed they are still determined to conquer the mid-range segment which is subject to intense competition of countless phone company from name to the nameless. Xperia XA stylishly property, good performance, orange pretty, nice screen, reasonable prices, almost full of elements to make a successful phone. The only weak battery life is invisible and reduces the value of the product.
