Sony Xperia XA2 review

Sony may be looking beyond smartphones but the Xperia line is still standing its ground. The recently unveiled Xperia XA2 series is not only a statement of persistence, but also shows intent for expansion. And the Xperia XA2 bodes well for Sony's new...

Sony Xperia XA2 Smartphone Review

New mid-range. Sony is refreshing its smartphone product lineup, beginning with the 5.2-inch Xperia XA2 mid-range smartphone, which aims to please with qualities such as having the fast Qualcomm Snapdragon 630 SoC, a Full HD display, and a 23-MP...

stable, fashionable case ; Full HD resolution ; bright IPS display ; precise GPS module ; good 23-MP camera ; USB-C connection ; fast during everyday use ; no throttling ; long battery life ; Quick-charge funktion

hybrid Dual-SIM only ; a lot of bloatware ; not waterproof ; USB-2.0 speed only ; mediocre selfie camera

The Sony Xperia XA2 is a very solid mid-range smartphone. However, it does not bring a real "killer feature" to distinguish it from the competition.With the Xperia XA2, Sony has a good mid-range device in its lineup, which makes everyday life with the...

Sony Xperia XA2 hands-on: an impressive new mid-range device

Sony's mid-range will undergo a complete overhaul in 2018. The Xperia XA2 comes with a modernized design, a bigger display, a new processor and a much larger battery. In this hands-on review you'll find out in what way Sony's new mid-range has improved.

Sony has given its mid-range a genuine overhaul that certainly justifies the price increase. It’s astonishing that the Xperia XA2’s camera has a feature that even Sony’s PR and marketing department don’t know about: HDR video recordings in Full HD is...

Sony XA2 Ultra

Sony Xperia XA2 Ultra: A seriously huge phone built for selfies, but is it any good? We take an in-depth look at it right here

Giant screen ; Very solid battery life ; Can take great day-lit photos ; Loud speaker

Non-stabilised camera ; Fast charger not included ; Will be too big for some

The Sony Xperia XA2 Ultra’s software runs quickly for the most part. There’s little-to-no obvious lag, and the slow loading of the camera app is the only obvious irritant. It takes a couple of seconds, which can make the difference between getting a...

Sony Xperia XA2 review

A solid Sony smartphone that plays it safe

Good performance ; Punchy screen (after tweaks) ; Mostly solid camera

Surprisingly ordinary battery life ; A bit tubby ; Quirky camera operation

The Sony Xperia XA2 is a solid Android phone at a sensible price, although the design will date quickly and the real-world battery stamina doesn't quite seem to match the spec.

Sony Xperia XA2 initial review: 23 megapixel pics plus super-wide selfies

The XA2 hits the sweet spot where you get an excellent set of specs and decent design for a great price. Definitely worth consideration if you're in

Super camera ; Wide selfies ; 32GB storage

Plastic back ; No dust or waterproofing

The XA2 hits the sweet spot where you get an excellent set of specs and decent design for a great price. Definitely worth consideration if you're in the market for a mid-range handset.

Sony Xperia XA2: Full, in-depth review

One last hurrah for OmniBalance

Nice feel ; Good price

Mediocre camera and performance ; Small display

Like most Sony phones. The Xperia XA2 is a good option but it’s not quite the best out there.

Sony Xperia XA2 review: A magnificent mid-range smartphone

Sony unveiled a new mid-range smartphone at CES 2018, and it's just got a fair bit cheaper

Superb colour accurate display ; Stunning design ; Great battery life

CPU performance isn't the best ; Camera struggles in low-light

Low-light photography issues aside, though, the Xperia XA2 is a seriously impressive smartphone, made even better by its highly reasonable asking price. Its display is fantastic, battery life is good and the handset itself looks like something you’ve...
