    For the price it’s really a good smart phone. If you are thinking about buying one for your teens it’s a good choice. The camera is awesome.

    This phone is nice, sleek and slender. I had to return though because after a couple of days it wouldn't send notifications when a text message was received. Went online to a Sony forum and found a fix, tried the fix and it worked for a while then it started again. Decided to return.

    I just wanted to try it because it was a Sony and I am sick of Samsung phones. I was looking at the most expensive one but then after looking at the specs on this phone, I learned it had a better processor and more MP camera.I love the pictures that this takes and the video is better than my cybershot. It said slow motion video but this doesn't have that option! When I bought the phone and was doing updates I was lucky because Oreo 8.0 just came out! Great screen and very vivid and smooth! Edges suck with a screen protector but I did not add one for that reason. Fast loading and plenty of phone memory. I got it for $130 off! Big bonus! It has a headphone plug that was not listed on the specs!

    This phone is very nicely put together. It runs fairly smooth and is very responsive overall. The camera of course is great also. The battery life could be a little better but like any phone you just need to charge it at least once a day.

    This is one of the perfect phones if you are in market for not a full flagship phone, but in mid range phones. Good battery life. I think Sony would eventually improve and go towards edge to edge displays.

    Camera of this phone is very good. It does not sync up to fitbit as easily as it should. Hard to find a phone case for it. They are out there but not huge variety. Does have the new C-type cord.

    I'm part of the the small percentage that rather have an Xperia phone over the any other brand phone. It's definitely a phone that I trust to get the job done and I would recommend it to anyone who doesn't care for keepin' up with treads.

    The phone works fine until you get a picture in a group text message. Once you do, the app freezes until you delete the text chain or more messages have been sent. It's also difficult to use the letters p and q.

    Overall this phone is good but quality of picture are not so great when viewed in larger monitors.Moreover, sometimes during starting the screen becomes dark with three pinkish lines in the middle and you've got to forcefully restart it again.

    the Xa1 is a pleasure to use and is my go to phone. I also have the Moto G5 plus and I'd much rather use the Sony. It's a much more attractive design and almost everything works smoothly. The bluetooth would shut itself off randomly until I disabled bluetooth scanning in the location settings. Seems to work perfectly now. Other than this no complaints. Very bright and crisp display, excellent camera and very responsive OS.
