Sony Xperia XA1 Review

Score: 71.7 / 100

Sony Xperia XA1 is a top-notch device launched many years ago, including an extremely fast 2.3 gigahertz Octa-Core CPU, a good size 5" screen, and 2 cameras, a 23 mega-pixels back camera and an 8 megapixels front-facing camera.

Although this device only has 5.71 inches long, it's able to fit a a 5" screen. This phone is extremely slim and stilized, with a thickness of just 0.31 inches. Sony has made a great design job making this phone as lightweight as 5.04 oz. Sony is offering the Sony Xperia XA1 in many colors like black, gold, pink and white.

Sony packed this phone with a interesting 5 inches display, and a 720 x 1280 (HD) resolution, which makes all images and movies look very good.

This phone is powered by a MediaTek Helio P20 MT6757 chip, backed up by an extremely fast Octa-Core processor running at 2300 MHz with a large 3 GB RAM memory. A great point of this device is the 32 GB large internal storage and an external SD slot, more than enough to install hundreds of applications without even thinking about how much memory is left.

The Sony Xperia XA1 features Wi-Fi connection (although it can't be provided to other devices acting as a wireless modem), LTE-A (4G) , a really fast data connection and also HSPA+ internet connection (a bit slower 4G type) and fast 3G data connection, supported by HSDPA and HSUPA technologies. The Sony Xperia XA1 uses 2 Nano SIM cards to be able to to work with 2 different phone lines or carriers in the same phone.

This cellphone is equipped with two cameras, a 23 megapixels back side camera and an 8 mega-pixels front-facing camera. Its back side camera lens has a 2 aperture so it can capture clear pictures even in low light conditions. It also captures 1920x1080 Full HD videos at 30 frames per second.

The Sony Xperia XA1 also features a great numbre of useful characteristics like Near Field Communication (NFC), Bluetooth (4.2 ), GPS Geolocation and Radio, and a couple sensors likeLight Sensor, Proximity Sensor and Accelerometer.

This phone uses a high capacity 2300 mAh Li - Ion non-removable battery that can keep it running for several hours, although you may need to charge it after some heavy use. An issue to take into account is that this cellphone's battery is non-replaceable so you can't change it when it begins to have trouble holding its charge, even though with such a big battery you will probably buy a new cellphone before it happens.

Sony offers this phone for $ 299, which is a quite high price for comparing with other similar cellphones. It doesn't matter whether you want this cellphone to take lots of pictures, will use this phone to play lots of games, want it majorly for social networks and internet browsing or want a work cellphone, you will probably be very pleased with this device. This device comes with microUSB cable and user documentation and Charger.
