If they reduce the bezel and thickness, this would a good mid-range phone.
Sonyuser85, 08 Feb 2018Its camera true quality comes at 8-12 mp. 23 is mostly marketing or a level of processing that... more23MP is better when you edit.
Of course when you crop, it is easier to see pixelation on high res photos.
You wont see noise at 3MP, 5MP or 8MP.
If other brands had 20MP or more , same would happen.
AnonD-731491, 09 Feb 2018I see perfectly, I use a 4k screen daily, my eyes are not punishedBut still cant tell sony's new back design is shit and look like something out of 2012
Thank you for such a great review. I xcl'd my preorder. If all they tout is the selfie set-up, and THEY CAN'T EVEN GET THAT RIGHT, I really wonder if Sony will ever make a phone worth buying AND keeping.
With their snappy performance and solid battery life, the Xperia XA2 and XA2 Ultra offer good value for their money, and despite the few minor issues here and there, I'd say that they'll satisfy users who want to get the most bang for their buck and don't want to spend a fortune on a new phone. Would I use any of these as a personal device? Yes, though I'd probably go for the XA2 as the larger XA2 Ultra doesn't really have enough exclusive features to win me over. If you're into selfies, however, the larger XA2 Ultra would be the one to go with.
In the morning there were more than 80 posts here now they are 66, guess why? So many trolls on Sony threads as usual, i feel you moderator, these people must really be ashamed of themselves.
Tann Hauser, 09 Feb 2018XA2 Ultra is 450, A8 is 500, A8+ which is the direct 6inch screen contender here is 550... So... moreI was referring to India though. A8 plus is around 500. For 550, I could get s7 edge there not counting one plus 5t or Honor v10..

So no, A8s are not cheaper, but more expensive.

Sonyuser85, 08 Feb 2018Battery backup and price will make the true differences between XA2 ultra and A8. For now Sony... moreWhile XA2 ultra win for battery, Honor View 10 win all other aspects for the same price. A8 is overprice and doesnt even come close.
