Score: 73.7 / 100

Sony Xperia XA1 Plus is a high quality phone released many years ago, packing a huge 5.5" screen, a high-tech 2.3 GHz Octa-Core CPU, and 2 cameras, a 23 MP back side camera and an 8 MP front facing camera.

Sony decided to power this cellphone with a MediaTek Helio P20 MT6757 system chip, packing a great Octa-Core processor ticking at 2.3 gigahertz and a huge 3 GB RAM memory. A great feature of this phone is its inmense 32 GB internal storage memory and a slot for SD memory cards, which allows you to install hundreds of apps and even the heaviest games currently available without thinking about how much storage capacity is left.

Sony didn't seem to put much effort to reduce weight in this 6.7 ounces phone. Regarding its body materials, the Sony Xperia XA1 Plus is mainly manufactured with Plastic and Aluminum . This phone only has 6.1" long and 2.95 inches wide, but it manages to hold a 5.5 inches screen. Being just 0.34" thick,the Sony Xperia XA1 Plus is incredibly slim and good-looking. The Sony Xperia XA1 Plus is for sale in a wide range of color variations: black, blue, gold and pink.

This cellphone is equipped with two cameras, a 23 mega-pixels back-facing camera and an 8 mega-pixels front side camera. Its back-facing camera lens has an aperture of F2 so it can take clear pictures even in poor lighting environments. This cellphone also captures videos in 1920x1080 (Full HD) at 30 frames per second.

Sony equipped this cellphone with an absolutely amazing 5.5 inches screen, and a 1080 x 1920 (Full HD) resolution, giving this device a great graphic quality.

This phone has Wi-Fi connection (which can be provided to other devices acting as a mobile hotspot), 4G LTE-A , a really fast connection and also HSPA+ data connection (a lower speed 4G network) and fast 3G connectivity, using HSDPA and HSUPA technologies. This cellphone uses a Nano SIM card for GSM connection.

The Sony Xperia XA1 Plus has amassive 3430 mAh Li - Ion non-replaceable battery providing this phone a marvelous battery life. An issue to take into consideration is that the Sony Xperia XA1 Plus's battery is non-removable so you can't throw it away and buy a new one when it starts to last shorter, though with this big battery you will probably discard this phone before it becomes an issue.

This phone also features a wide variety of cool features as Fingerprint unlock, NFC, Bluetooth (allows communication with other devices, computers, and accessories), GPS Navigation and Radio, and lots of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.

Sony sells this phone for $ 380, which is a rather high price for a phone this level.
