Hayaan Mo Sila, 08 Feb 2018Same poor audio quality through external amplifier is not just on Sony phones. Look at the Mi ... moreI concur, no way can it be that off the scale, and such a difference between XA2 and XA2 Ultra, those have same audio tech.
There must be sth wrong with testing, or its a bug that Sony has to rectify with an update.

But on the other side, audio recording is really bad on both, sounds as if its recording through a water filter or sth, just hoping its not a tech defect, but a software one.

    The only thing I like about this phone is the separate SD card slot. Don't understand why they often go with the hybrid crap on top of the line phones and only mid and low range phones get dual SIMs with SD slot.

      Same poor audio quality through external amplifier is not just on Sony phones. Look at the Mi 5A, which was reviewed recently. It exhibits the same poor quality as this phone, yet no one comments about it.
      Really guys, there has to be an issue with the amplifier that GSMArena is using. But seeing how you guys are immediately making up conclusions without any further researching goes to tell that Sony is a phenomenal legendary company. So much so, the haters have to make up some fake news/stories to stop their real comeback. We know if Sony does something right, even the person that seriously and deep-heartedly hates Sony would easily fall in love.

        Despite i am sound like hater i am not.
        I like reasonable phones for a reasonable price.
        Having less for more is not an option unless you are brainwwashed by certain company.
        As long as i am not a Sony fan i can honestly say ONE BIG NO because in this case we really get much less for much more price.
        And thats definitely not a way why to buy this phone from Sony.

                    Mcallim72, 08 Feb 2018i haven't heard anyone say the want a Sony phone since 2008. Overpriced, under spec and full ... moreUnder spec?
                    This is the most specced newly released midranger at this moment.

                    Give it a rest man. Dont make things up.

                          Shui8, 08 Feb 2018Smaller XA2 are more relevant because of its pricing, best mid range for me. But for the price... moreYes you made a point, unless you want to get a flagship of last year such as oneplus 5T/LG G6... But it still depends on the pricing of regions.

                            I am a sony fan..But the truth is XA2 ultra somewhat old school outdated product..
                            There are lots of cheaper option comes with big screen ,great selfie cameras but at the same time look more moden..
                            Just 4k video recording and SD630 can't save sony..

                              AnonD-481725, 08 Feb 2018So this is the best midrange smartphone of the year. Smaller XA2 are more relevant because of its pricing, best mid range for me. But for the price of XA2 ultra, u can get a flagship level phones like Honor View 10, better gpu and cpu performance, AI features, better dual camera even in low lights, 6gb ram, 128gb internal memory and many more. Oneplus 5t also not bad but a bit pricier than Honor. Sony indeed make an improvement this year, cant wait for their flagship.
