Sony Xperia XA1 - 32GB - Black (Unlocked) Smartphone

Great sleek and compact phone. Packed with great features. Fantastic for a mid range phone!

It's a fantastic mid range phone, does everything I want of it. It is nicely compact, and feels stylish in the hand, and is easy to use. The camera is pretty decent for a mid range phone to.

It is however not without its niggles though. The battery life is nothing special; I happen to charge my phones every night... but if I were to forget to one night, I suspect the phone would be without charge. I also constantly have Xperia updates popping up; (it's not a problem, just a bit annoying) Another rather annoying thing that people should be aware of, is that this phone has a specific charging cable not compatible with any other phone or device that I managed to find. So it is wise to have a spare cable on hand.

Aside from those however, it's a good phone. And I'm glad I got it! :) Read full review

good looks and great value

One of the best of the cheaper smartphones.My choice was this or Samsung J5. This Sony has more memory and better camera. Check out November Which magazine

Always wanted a Sony phone

It's only 65k Antutu. This is way lower than most phones of little more £s than this. Despite this the software is smooth but is not as snappy as an LG V20. I know - I have one.

The back camera is so so, but the 16mp selfie cam with OIS is great. The edge to edge widthways screen is great but some may be put off by the chin and header which are way wider than current designs.

It feels good, looks good and if you can get for a good price £150 ish max, it's a dealRead full review

Great phone, very happy.

Great screen and performance is very good with 4gb memory. Physically quite big but still easy to use one handed.. Battery life, very good. A brilliant all rounder.

Great value.

Honestly a bargain for this absolute monster of a phone. Yes they're refurbished, the one I recieved had the smallest chip on the front metal (about the size of a pin head) but with the exception of that it's completely immaculate. And at almost £100 less than retail price it's a fantastic buy. Read full review

Great size screen

Phone Grade A but it was just like new! Great features with a bright, clear, good size screen. Cannot fault after using for a week. Very happy indeed with the phone. I use it mostly for internet browsing which is so much easier with the large screen. Read full review

An excellent well rounded smartphone

A great smartphone from Sony with a great set of excellent features. Brilliant value for money, nice compact, easy to use and very user friendly phone. The screen resolution is good but it can be much better by offering a higher resolution so that the image quality is more crisper and sharper. I would highly recommend this smartphone to anyone that is looking for a high quality phone on a limited budget.Read full review

Very good for the price.

It's pretty easy to use for an oldie like me. Good definition for my not so good eyes 👀
A longer battery life would give it two more stars.
I haven't managed to find a way to sort my app icons on the screen so have to search for them and try and remember where they are over four screens!Sorry I can't comment on the camera as I don't use it. Read full review

Decent mobile phone

Decent size with a great camera.
Bought it refurbished which was "brand new without operating manual" so the price point was excellent.
32GB memory takes care of a need to buy extra memory card.
Still a bit unsure about the battery if I subject it to a more heavy use but at the moment full charge lasts me a good few days on standby which is good.
Overall excellent for everyday use with some features to beat more expensive phones.Read full review
