Ritzie, 04 Jun 2017Given its price & performance, it's more feasible to buy last year's flagship phones. Eve... moreThat's how I buy phones. I NEVER buy this years new best thing. I wait and buy LAST YEARS new best thing. For one, it's typically 1/2 the price, last build of the product line, all updates usually installed, bugs, that might have appeared with the new model, have been addressed.
For a cheapskate penny pincher like me, better bang for the buck.

      A website of my country performed a battery test of XA1. Many apps like games ( pokémon, asphalt 8, mario) , messengers, email, youtube, chrome...

          AnonD-633729, 04 Jun 201768hr endurance rating may be ok in 2012 but not in 2017 where most phones get upwards of 80hr.My point is every people still will charging the phone every day even it is 80h.

          The most important it battery is strongest than all the competitors, the battery lifespan is double up. Qnovo battery charging tech is great and practical feature for this phone too.

          The selfie led and OIS help taking better photo especially when the phone is attached on selfie-rod will more shaking than holding by hand, the OIS help avoid shaking and led help to capture in low light and indoors. And that's is all the great hardware work inside a phone.

            Interesting 2/3 bad points not relevent to Europe. The one I have certainly has Stereo Speakers and a Fingerprint sensor.

            Should also add - best battery life ive had from a phone in while, 3 weeks into use.

The outcome is predictable. Hopefully no one will get fooled into buying it.

                    And that just like the z5 premium there was plenty space in such a large phone for a plenty bigger battery. And it's not like it's a cheap phone.

                          Don't trust fake reviews. And don't look at benchmarks and other useless things. Go for Sony. Even my 3 years old Z3 works fine.

                            Even last year's flagship camera performance and quality is at par with this device (if not greater).

                              This phone costs more than z5. I bought it for 1700 a month ago while xa1u costs 1900.

                                    2 people will use it for media consumption that's the whole point of this device. So good battery life is taken for granted not expected. 68h is ok not good...

I guess we can leave those people who just love to jump recklessly into conclusion without considering other things.
