guys this phone looks good and premium i really love the design :)
the display is sharp enough for the price you pay and the edges are smooth too.
The camera is just fine if you wanna use it for normal purposes
16GB is good android takes up to 7GB i think could be less im not sure but updates apps etc.
battery lasts a whole day with normal usage

XperiaFTW, 30 Sep 2017I still haven't got it. Did anything changed? just a security patch, i guess. this is not a major update. the phone is still heating as ayways and discharging when used while connected to a charger. the screen looks better tho. or maybe it is just me.

Other than that, I did not see any new changes (I am using Xperia Home Beta so I cannot really tell if there are new features in the Home screen)
EDIT: I am using F3115 model. The build number was 33.3.A.97 and the Android version was still 7.0 (Nougat)

I love my Xperia XA. If you encounter any lagging or bad memory loading, look into your storage & memory, if its over 85%, it is forsure lagging. You can clear cached data and move stuff to sd.
What I did when my device was at 97%, I factory reset the device(backed it up forsure before doing so!!) and wow, device is like brand new,new brand. Just need my new lcd+frame to arrive so I can get my screen replaced...Ive manage to sort pictures video and music then put only useful thing in the device and the rest stayed on my laptop.
I love it, plus as I mention in my old post, the Ringke Fusion Crystal Clear is the BEST case you can have for your Xperia XA. TPU protection and makes your device sexy.
I recommend discharging your battery once a month from 100% to 0% and to plug it on the charger AND not power it up until it hits 100%. Doing so, will result into a better battery life(which I do see it happen with my phone) and improve daily usage.
Much love for this device, forsure at my next contract I will be getting another sony. No more Samsung nor apple.
Much happy, much wow, such sony. nice

No other camera application is better for XA if you like some special settings. Sadly what have Stock camera doesn't have Snap, and what has Snap doesn't have Stock. In third place I would use Camera360 lite or A Better Camera. Camera fv5 have a major problem decoding stock camera codes for that no special feature is activated and I don't use it anymore for some time. Snap and Stock settings are multiple and you should test it for your liking. Remember that XA is the only device that has two different processing. One is without zoom and other is with zoom. Having a tripod can match a DSLR quality. I have also use Alpha 5000 along with XA and together are doing awesome in daylight conditions and with tripod. In my country XA is the cheapest device with best cameras on it (around 200$). Also Alpha 5000 a price cut that make it the best cheapest camera available on market (around 300$). Cheers!

I really liked the HDR (MM) it would make huge diff and i don't think they're going to fix these bugs 'cause nobody is complaining about it in their forum.
I'd really appreciate what settings you use. Thank you

In both ways I am not happy with its factory HDR implementation. It doesn't give a more softer as in Z, X, or XZ models nor something special. I use Camera360 lite for good HDR results. Nougat comes with better results on manual modes and sometimes on Superior mode but not on HDR option nor Backlight mode. In my opinion there are very interesting lets say "bugs" in camera module, but I enjoy them now that I understand how it works. I usually use third party apps for best results on rear camera at least.
