Sony Xperia XA2 Ultra Factory Unlocked Phone - 6" Screen - 32GB - Blue

AT LAST a quality phone, one that's not made in China or Korea. The Xperia is the best phone I've ever used. I would've paid twice as much.The best thing about it is Sony's integrated experience, it is so much better than other androids I've tried, where something as simple as getting home screen icon overly notifications to work is a chore.Just the highlights:~ Superb battery life! 30+ hours from 100%, Stamina mode adds another 5.~Fantastic default keyboard layout and autospelling correct, unlike Apple's phony autocorrect that tries to embarrass you.~Sony's 6" screen is amazing! I love it!! Although it only runs at full HD, not 4K like the XZ, it is plenty sharp and beautifully bright and colorful. It is unmatched at this price point. Some say this phone is tablet-like, I disagree, it's not that big. In fact, as a fan of bigger screens, I wish it was a little bigger. It is the same exterior size as my iPhone 6+. It's a few millimeters taller and the 6+ is a few mms wider. In fact Sony's 6" screen is the first Android I've used that matches the 6+ and older Galaxies, because those older phones' bottom bezel hardware buttons don't reduce the 5.5" screen size to only 5" of useable real estate. This phone has exactly 5.675" of usable diagnal screen area NOT counting the software buttons, which are usually displayed. Because of this, the ingenius built-in one-handed operation screen reduction is really a bit too small; roughly iPhone 4-like.~Luv the blackberry-like notification and charging light. The single LED lights up in an amazing number of different colors depending on what it is trying to tell you.~Build quality is sensational, although the all metal chromed-out XZ Premium is even slicker. The phone is built in Japan, not in Chinese sweatshops like iPhone and Google's total garbage quality, or Samsungs made in Korea.~Sony's Nikon DLSR experience really shines with a superb 23MP rear camera and two great front cameras. The dedicated shutter button makes the phone seem like you are using real camera hardware. It even has a halfpress shutter button function to lock focus on your intended subject, allowing you to then reframe the composition whike the focus and exposure remains locked. That feature alone is worth going Sony, and no reviewers even understand it. Advanced settings are unlocked with your fingerprint and are also very DSLR like, like predictive motioning tracking focus.~FAST cpu and blazing general operation. FAST WiFi. FAST camera. FAST everything.~Luv the pin wheel screen scroll and default widget selection. Sony's launcher is the first one I've been happy to use.Cons:~I'm not a fan of edge to edge screens. It's nice bling but phones need a frame to hold on too. It's too hard NOT to touch the screen.~Still getting used to having no bezel button(s). I prefer a front or side fingerprint sensor.Where has this phone been my whole life??

Like many others (mostly Americans), we typically gravitate to Samsung or Apple branded cell phones, sometimes LG. I've had many Apple iphones and plenty of Samsung note# and S# phones, and they were all good phones. My last cell phone was a Samsung note 5 and it served its purpose but after i dropped it and the screen cracked for the second time, with a protective case around it and a screen protector, I refuse to pay another $200+ to fix the screen, so it was time to move on to something new and different. That lead me to venture out and explore other cell phone brands, and this Sony Xperia XA2 ultra caught my attention. After 3 weeks of use, Im extremely happy, and here are my thoughts on this phone.....Pros1. Screen size/bezel. The 6 inch screen is great for playing games, surfing the web and watching videos. Some people prefer phone without the bezels but the small top and bottom bezels don't bother me.2. Phone size, weight - I prefer bigger phones due to my above-average hand size, therefore this phone was a great fit for me. The weight of the phone is 7.8oz, which is above average in weight in the cell phone market and its the heaviest phone Ive ever owned but its not anything I cant get use to.3. Battery Life - Wow!!! With normal use (texting, a few phones calls, 1-2 hours Youtube videos, a few games) this phone lasted me a full day and part of the next day on a full 100% charge and I still had 15% left. Great job Sony!!!4. Security - The Rear Mounted fingerprint scanner is very convenient!!5. Camera - Sorry ladies and gents, I'm not a camera-maniac. Some can/will argue but in my opinion, anything over 16-megapixels is pretty good for a cell phone, and this phone's main camera is 23mp, and selfie camera is 16mp, and it works for me!!! Most camera's on cell phones nowadays are pretty damn sharp!!6. Processor - Snapdragn 630 isnt the lastest Qualcomm chip but its still considered a powerful processor.Overall, Im very happy with my Sony Xperia XA2 purchase. Sony has my attention in the cell phone market...
