In my opinion, the most beautiful smartphone of Sony presented at MWC 2016 – the Sony Xperia XA looks cool, but does not apply to the flagship. Okay device for a wide audience.
Design, construction
I had the opportunity to choose, write about any smartphone first. It seems to be the most productive – is X Performance, but his hand reached for the Sony Xperia XA – because he is perhaps the most beautiful of all the presented smartphones. He reminded me Sony Ericsson Xperia ray – may remember a smartphone? Small, thin, neat, with a good display, he attracted both men and women. In my opinion, the Xperia Sony Xperia XA awaits the same fate – if you are not too worried about the clock frequency of the processor, and more importantly the appearance, feeling in his hand, then Sony Xperia XA is suitable.
As you know, Sony has once again changed the concept, this applies to the naming system, and some design aspects. For example, now the back of the device covers metal (Xperia X, Xperia X Performance) or plastic (Sony Xperia XA), and Sony Xperia XA have virtually no side frames – and I note, not too much like a smartphone iPhone, although some can cause such an association. It will disappear as soon as the device will take in hand. Current trends are pushing manufacturers to follow each other in a literal sense – a breakthrough in design at Sony did not commit rather successfully used their own and others’ achievements. That’s what makes it a unique XA, well, X and X are too similar to the Performance series Z – apparently decided to forget about it.
Meanwhile, the machine with a pleasant appearance is not a flagship, it is representative of the average price segment, according to our classification, “The Gambler” – can there be anything more, time will tell, and of course, price.
But let’s take a closer look at the device. pink device just designed for women’s hands. In general, all series smartphones X presented in four colors, is matte black, pink, white and yellow-green, do not know how to define it better. Display with rounded edges covers the protection, on the street, if there is sun, the information is not seen very well, the stock brightness of the display virtually none. In the room everything is fine. Above the display – the speaker box of the front camera, proximity sensor, on the left – a symbolic key from aluminum, pushed with the advent of the Z5, Sony Xperia XA have no fingerprint sensor, so put a normal button. But do not forget about the camera button, and it’s very good. At the bottom end – connector microUSB, speaker, covered with mesh, 3.5 mm jack on the top end. Please note speaker above the display also covers mesh, that is, the designers have taken care of Circuits, this is important. On the left side – the traditional cap, beneath it – a slot for SIM-card and microSD memory card, it is gratifying that even in devices middle segment of the memory card is not discarded. The back of the plastic, the device lies well in hand, well fit in a pocket – in general, the design is very positive experience – in fact, why I started it with Sony Xperia XA.
In older versions, X and X Performance, back and ends of metal.
Naturally, supported by LTE and will be a version with two SIM-cards.
Display Sony Xperia XA
Diagonal HD-display – 5 inches, as I said, there is practically no margin of brightness. Use new display called Mobile BRAVIA Engine second generation, if you include getting better quality pictures and video. In the settings screen you can include adaptive lighting, set the white balance, select the “smart” lighting control – until you look at the screen, the display is turned on.
All new smartphones Xperia Tips will be installed the system, in a nutshell, is the assistant prompts based on how you use your smartphone. If you have a lot of unanswered calls, you will be prompted to activate the answering machine if you go outside in the winter, will be offered to activate the operating mode with the screen while wearing gloves. Holders of Z5 and other smartphones Xperia will also be able to use the Xperia Tips, when there will be an upgrade to Android 6.0.
Note that all new smartphones will come with Android 6.0. According to the company, in the interface of two hundred different changes, additions, simplifying life – in the camera menu you can quickly skip to the front camera, it is convenient to search, and so on, go through changes when the samples arrive.
Performance and operating time Sony Xperia XA
Android 6.0 operating system, the processor uses Mediatek Helio P10, 2 GB RAM, 16 GB of memory for user data. His pictures and design matched to the style of the device, use your player, in general, everything is typical for Sony. Use Bluetooth 4.1.
Stated time of about two days, Sony Xperia XA installed battery capacity of 2300 mAh. The Sony started cooperation with Qnovo, details can be read here, the technology used in X Series (and including Sony Xperia XA), called Qnovo Adaptive Charging technology. I understand that it will help extend the battery life at the expense of a more flexible management of the charging process.
Camera Sony Xperia XA
The front camera 8 megapixel, wide-angle, that it may be easier to create a selfie. The main 13 MP, has a hybrid auto focus, the camera can quickly run, clicking on a button, the button behavior is customizable. Like the Xperia others, you can load a variety of applications for the camera to use some effects. The quality of photos is not yet possible to estimate.
Conclusion Sony Xperia XA

It looks very attractive, and many of the girls are thinking to buy a pink iPhone 6S or stay at the Sony Xperia XA – after all, the characteristics are not important in the case of Sony devices, many people still choose them for their name and appearance.
