  It's a nice phone for a low budget.

  Overall it works good for daily use but when it comes to gaming it lacks the power and over heats. and about the camera , it takes some good pictures and it's only 13MP. and about the display glass; it breaks easily when you drop it from 2 meters height, i had to replace it three times.

  Pros

  • good phone for a low budget
  • one day battery life
  • it was good in its glory days

  Cons

  • not a gaming phone
  • it over heats too quickly
  • easily breakable display glass
  • low ram and storage capacity

  • 7
  • Screen6.5
  • Performance5.0
  • Camera6.7
  • Connectivity7.0
  • Battery7.0

  Useless GPS. Bloated with apps. Uses NAND memory. ROOT to get best xperience.

  SONY ARE NEVER UPDATING THIS PHONE TO OREO. BUY A DIFFERENT PHONE
  
  Stuffed with bloatware. Over 1GB of bloatware. It is also a NAND based device so needs root + a specific system app uninstaller from the play store to get rid of the bloat.
  
  The GPS is useless unless out in the open. Forget about it working in a vehicle. Passivated car windows contain metal particles and the XA hasn't a hope of getting satellite lock. I got a bluetooth gps for the car in the end.
  
  Aside from that the WIFI IS OK EXCEPT WHEN BLUETOOTH IS ON. Wifi speed drops from ~50 mb/s to ~3 mb/s with bluetooth on. Awful. Truly awful. Many other models and manufacturers have this same issue.
  
  The phone is more responsive once rooted and the bloatware is removed. The camera is so-so. I am mainly interested in app responsiveness so happy with that.
  
  Avoid this phone if you need GPS and need good screen visibility in sunlight.
  
  Otherwise no one is going to steal this phone for its features.
  
  
  
  
  

  Pros

  • responsive once bloatware removed
  • sharp screen
  • heavy enough to not slip out of hand
  • Where is OREO? Oh it's never going to happen? Bye

  Cons

  • BAD. BAD. BAD GPS. Get an external GPS
  • poor screen visibility in sunlight
  • AWFUL WIFI speed with bluetooth on
  • loaded with 1GB+ bloatware
  • uses NAND storage
  • NO OREO updates

  I want a new phone

  The price for this phone drops like hell.
  Battery is terrible, a bit better while using stamina but you can't see the screen under the sun lol.
  few games aren't compatible, lots of old gameloft games are not compatible too, Some are, but hard to find and full of virus. Oh and btw, you can't play FF XV pocket edition here, it is not supported.
  
  The available storage is apprx 10.4gb, nearly half of which is used for the system only, so expect to use it with 1-2 gb left after installing essential apps for your daily dose of entertainments.

  Pros

  • Nice design, though I think the black "ring" around the screen doesn't match with the overall color
  • It support dual sim cards

  Cons

  • BATERRY
  • BATERRy
  • BATERry
  • BATErry
  • BATerry
  • The back of the phone is easily scratched

  • 5
  • Screen8.0
  • Performance7.7
  • Camera8.5
  • Connectivity9.3
  • Battery5.0
