T12, 06 May 2017Hm, I don't see X compact has any advantages over XA1. Besides being more pocket friendly. But... moreI have the regular Xperia X, 2600mah battery, FHD 5 inches display, with the same chipset and i am having 6+ hours sot with mixed usage, although the snapdragon 650 is 28 nm chipset, but it is extremely efficient.

I chose this phone for its content. I do not choose phones by manufacturers. At the moment this is best phone in its price range (very unusual for sony). This phone has no bad points. I'm using it for 3 days now. Battery life is great, not excellent, but great. It's like you would use a snapdragon 820 with 3000mAh. Also I need to point out that it looks great. Those bezels on top and bottom are as big as on any other phone. It's just an optical illusion because it has no side bezels. Highly recommended.

Ali Bashir, 06 May 2017Don't bother your head, just buy the x compact, it is better than these both smartphones. Hm, I don't see X compact has any advantages over XA1. Besides being more pocket friendly. But it is way more expensive, so... It has a 28nm processor consuming a lot of energy and overheating. It would need a bigger battery to match XA1 battery life... P20 with 2300mAh is better than S650 with 2700mAh.

Gino76, 05 May 2017All of a sudden I got four choices: Xperia XA1, X Compact, Moto G5 Plus & the Galaxy A5 20... moreX compact is (like iPhone with 4.7 screen) a smaller phone, more pocket friendly. Great for work or email checking, not so great for web browsing or video watching. It has a more potent processor, but energy not efficient, meaning the battery would last less then with xperia XA1. All other specs are more or less the same. G5 PLUS? You need to check this phone in live, as it looks awful. Great specs, bigger bezels, it looks really odd... You need to check this phones in person. A5 2017 same specs as Motorola, great screen, way to expensive, not in the same price group. A5 and X compact are way to expensive phones. You should check also Huawei P10 lite.

I'm interested with the XA1 but have some tech questions:
1. Is the storage the newer eMMC 5.1?
2. Does it actually support the faster Cat-6 4G LTE in Europe?
3. Are the speakers located in the front (as videos and photos show) or at the bottom? And how loud is it?
4. True the USB Type-C is the slower 2.0 standard?
5. True the RAM is only DDR3 and not DDR4?
6. True the rear-facing camera is based off or came from the Z5? But does it have some upgrades to it?
7. Any blue light filter feature?
Advice please?

All of a sudden I got four choices: Xperia XA1, X Compact, Moto G5 Plus & the Galaxy A5 2017. Made some research and based on their processor (and RAM) alone the Xperia XA1 obliterates all the other phones mentioned. But my question is...If we are talking about battery life (w/ respect to software optimization, being near stock Android & one that would just last the whole full day), camera quality (w/ respect to balanced sharpness, great contrast, natural colours, above average low-light photos & some form of image stabilisation), Updates (w/ respect to early or quicker software updates, bug fixes, security & maintenance updates) & speaker sound & loudness (w/ respect to being able to hear when you are on the bus or walking in a semi-crowded street). Love to hear your thoughts, comments & advice please. Cheers.

Hi i just bought this phone about 3 weeks ago in malaysia after that i got 2 time upgrade my device..
What i like from this superb phone is :
1. Nice design
2. Not pricey compare to the specs that we get
3. Good 23mp camera , but i think asus zenfone 3 ze552kl model that i have is better perform although less megapixel (16mp)
4. Good batery life
What i dont like :
- front camera (for me this model have not good quality images ) not because of the megapixel, but the images really turn out not good at all
- XA1 rocks

Sam, 04 May 2017Mediatek chipset makes his performance poor...I used it ...Facing issues lagging and heating..... moreHi. You used Mediatek Helio P20? Don't think so. Do not compare P10 with P20, completely different products... Do not compare old Mediatek chips with this one. P20 is a modern chip, manufactured on 16nm technology and in the same performance class as Qualcomm Snapdragon 625, Exynos 7880 and Kirin 658. The processor itself is as strong as old Snapdragon 810, but it lacks in graphic department (as 810 has 3x better graphic processor). But it is has also at least twice better energy efficiency (longer battery life). Long story short: only real life application that does not run smoothly on P20 is super-demanding game Asphalt 8. Everything else runs perfectly smooth.

Salihuddin, 04 May 2017Sony xperia xa1 vs samsung j7 prime vs asus zenfone 3 max Which is the bestHi, it is impossible to compare a 5.0 phone with 5.5 phones. Xperia is a lot smaller phone then these two. Nevertheless, Asus has the worst processor out of 3 (S430 is about 30% behind).

the battery life is good (surprisingly, bcs of only 2300mAh). Sony optimizes the battery well on this device. thumbs up to Sony! i managed to get 5h 15m SoT with 33% left at the end of the day. didn't expect this :D
