Sony Xperia XA2 Ultra review

The Sony Xperia XA2 Ultra is a decent phone that can't fight off its cut-rate competitors.

Good battery ; Solid performance ; Slow Sync Flash is useful

Camera is mediocre ; Plenty of bloatware

The Sony Xperia XA2 Ultra is a solid mid-range phone that’s pushed lower down the ladder because of the competition. You get good performance for the price, and day-long battery life. It also has an outdated and boring design, a mediocre camera, and...

Sony Xperia XA2 Ultra

The Sony Xperia XA2 Ultra phablet pairs a large 6-inch screen with impressive camera capabilities, but it lags behind the competition in terms of processing power.

Large display. Good camera. MicroSD card slot.

Bulky. Somewhat underpowered for the price.

The Sony Xperia XA2 Ultra offers decent overall performance and above-average camera capabilities. But at $450, it's in the same price category as the Motorola Moto X4, which gets you dual rear cameras, compatibility with all major carriers, and some...

Sony Xperia XA2 Ultra Smartphone Review

Selfie, Selfie. "Two rear-facing cameras? That is so 2017!" Sony's latest mid-range smartphone Xperia XA2 Ultra features a front-facing dual-camera instead in order to improve selfie quality. Let's find out whether or not this was a smart move, shall we?

robust case ; long battery life ; crisp photos ; powerful speaker ; accurate GPS ; fast Wi-Fi and LTE ; dedicated camera button ; very bright display ; up-to-date software

high power consumption ; no Quick Charge power supply included ; limited LTE band support ; microphone dropouts ; tight on storage space ; distortions on wide-angle front-facing camera ; black level comparatively high

“It has always been a bit more expensive to have a special taste.” This slogan held true back in the days when Sony smartphones were still known as Sony Ericsson Xperia, and it still does so for today’s review unit with a street price of a bit under...

Sony Xperia XA2 Ultra review: A decent mid-range smartphone eclipsed by other offerings

Our Sony Xperia XA2 Ultra review takes a look at one of Sony's recent mid-range releases which features a 6" FHD screen, 4GB of RAM, 23MP main camera, and dual selfie camera with flash and OIS at a fairly reasonable price point.

Premium looking design ; Quality build materials ; Decent front camera ; Great battery life ; Dedicated camera function ; Easily accessible SIM/microSD card slot ; USB-C for charging/data transfer ; Headphone jack

Hit-and-miss cameras ; Considering other options, price is a bit high ; Easily accessible SIM/microSD card slot ; Quite a few pre-installed apps

Sony Xperia XA2 and Xperia XA2 Ultra Review

Both come with the promises of long battery life and spectacular camera performance, and no less importantly, they're among the first Xperia handsets to have functional fingerprint scanners on board – a feature that has been missing from US-bound Sony...

Awesome battery life ; Snappy performance ; Great image quality in good light ; Fingerprint scanners, finally

Somewhat plasticky build ; Design doesn't feel particularly modern ; Displays could use more accurate colors ; No waterproofing

Sony Xperia XA2 Ultra review: selfie control

Looking for a big phone? You've come to the right place. Hide your skinny jeans and jeggings, because the Sony Xperia XA2 Ultra is a pocket breaker.

: With a stellar selfie camera, a beautiful screen and a capable chipset, the Sony Xperia XA2 Ultra is a solid choice if you’re looking for a larger phone for media consumption and social media use. But its price and overall size makes it an awkward...

Sony Xperia XA2 Ultra Review: Too Much for Too Little

Aside from a bright screen and the latest major revision of Android, there's very little the Xperia XA2 Ultra does that would compel you to choose it over its competitors.

Super-bright screen ; Solid performance ; Android Oreo

Disappointing camera ; Slow to charge ; Expensive ; Chunky design

An incredibly bright screen and Android Oreo aren't enough to make Sony's bulky midrange phone worth its steep price tag.

Review: Sony Xperia XA2 Ultra

The Sony Xperia XA2 Ultra is a massive Android phablet for those who like big phones. With a 6-inch screen, dual selfie cameras, and plenty of battery life, the XA2 Ultra is a solid performer. But there are a few things holding this monster back. Here...

The Sony Xperia XA2 Ultra is a big phone that misses the mark. It is the last effort from Sony's design deam before the company changed gears, and it shows. The hefty hardware is simply too much for me, and I suspect it will be too much for many...
