Really nice and holding the classy look!

NICE! This is really impressive, super fast and will be getting Android Oreo from what I read. Other family members have Samsung Note 8's and for $700 less I am HAPPY with the performance of this phone. I am a Sony fan, still using my Xperia Z Ultra and hoping for that size again. Totally a "Droid" fan!
This phone is classing looking and NO rounded edges instead allowing for a candy bar looking effect that, to me, adds to the class. Apps and downloading are effortless and fast, Data exchange fast, camera is very good (not comparing to my Hasselblad) as I do not purchase phones for cameras especially. Google play also has great camera apps for added capability. Communication is excellent and visibility is clear and vibrant. Beach Camera via AMAZON is a great seller and my phone arrived safe and SEALED NEW.........LOVE IT~

Gigantic and Amazing Phone

Reviewed in the United States on August 9, 2017

Verified Purchase

I'll start off by saying this is the biggest phone I've ever owned, so it is taking a bit of adjustment for me to hold with one hand (I have pretty big hands,) to hold sideways and use the keyboard (even though I'm doing that right now for this review and the predictions and auto correct are pretty spot on,) and it feels noticeably bulkier in my pocket. All those things aside considering I knew I was buying a large phone... I love this thing. It's remarkable.

It feels like there's no delay when I open games on my phone. Games like Pokémon Go, Brave Soul, Crusaders of Light, etc. all open on this phone quickly and look absolutely stunning. Not to mention the giant screen makes things easier to see.

Double SIM slot, yeah. I threw in an old 64gb micro SD card along with my nano SIM and was immediately using this phone without any hiccups. All four buttons are on the right side of the phone - volume up/down, power (which is lock and unlock button, as per usual,) and the camera button. Though spaced apart perfectly enough where they're not in the way of each other, I kinda wish the power button was on top of the phone. That's just a preference of habit, though!

The speaker is on the bottom of the phone alongside the charger port. Takes the C charger, which is gonna be the future universal charger in my opinion (kinda like going from cassette tape to CD,) due to the faster data and electrical transfer speeds.

How's the speaker? I'd truthfully say mediocre. It's also in a spot that can easily and accidentally be covered by your index finger when holding the phone horizontal. That or maybe I just hold my phone weird.

I consider the camera pretty stunning myself, but I'm also moving up from a phone that had half the MP on both cameras compared to this one. I don't see a single grain in new photos off this phone.

Finally, the part I love most. This phone doesn't strong arm you into using the pre installed "bloatware" like other phones typically do. You don't wanna use the default music and photo apps? Don't give them permission. This phone asks you permission for pretty much every app that comes pre installed. When you say no, it's not a clingy girlfriend. It leaves you alone permanently until you attempt to use the app again. It may seem overwhelming when first setting up the phone (essentially, imagine a "Do you wish to allow...?" every 30 seconds for maybe 5-10 minutes,) but after that it's smooth sailing. And that minor and short-lived annoyance is a tiny price to pay in my opinion for Sony being nice enough to ask for my consent before bloatware assaulting my phone.

Tl;Dr My rating speaks for itself. 5/5 stars. For the tech in this phone, the size, the midrange price... I'd highly recommend if you have a thing for large phones, but don't want one of the phones that are tablet sized.

Upgraded from Xperia XA Ultra

Reviewed in the United States on May 22, 2019

Verified Purchase

Still have the new car smell so can't leave to much of an impression yet.

First, the phone is gorgeous. Much sexier than my old XA Ultra.

I grew very fond of the Xperia XA Ultra large screen and 21mp camera that when it started to die after almost 3 years of hard use, I looked into another Xperia Ultra. The previous phone I had survived many, many drops, scratches, dents, and moments in the rain and snow with no case or screen protector, that I felt confident moving into the newer version. Though, I will be getting a screen protector and case this time round. I know that I'll have limited options since the phone is not very popular.

Initial impressions are that the XA1 Ultra feels a tad faster than my previous phone and really appreciate the extra 16gb of internal storage. Anything less tham 32gb these days is a chore in storage management.

It took nearly all night to run through the series of updates that Sony had queued up to land on a pretty solid build of Android 8.0. UI feels nearly identical to my previous phone, which is pleasant as I don't have to hunt for too many things and felt right at home in customizing my phone.

The 23mp camera is great. I see a lot of reviews slamming the quality of the photos taken, but I am very pleased. HDR does appear to blur the sharpness slightly, but not enough to not appreciate the excellent quality for such a reasonable price. Colors can be corrected and should be if you are looking for the best quality.

Video...disappointed that I can't shoot 4K like my previous XA Ultra could. That's why I dropped the rating from 5 stars to 4.

After more time with the phone, I will update my review. For now, I am very satisfied for what I paid to get another unlocked phone with an amazing camera.

The Phone.... Great! Cell Service... Not So Great.

Reviewed in the United States on May 15, 2018

Verified Purchase

I love Sony products and I was really excited to find this phone, but I'm afraid they let me down on this one. The cell service stayed either terrible or non-existent. I had to walk outside my house and hold the phone in the air just to get two bars, meanwhile my Moto X Pure and old Galaxy S4 are both showing four bars in the exact same location (we have a tower nearby as well). I used to have a Sony M4 Aqua, and cell service wasn't always the best with it, but it was enough to get by and I loved the phone. Read something about Sony phones not co-operating with US cell towers that well, but I don't know if that is true. May work great in bigger cities. I live near the southern tip of Ohio and it was giving me a lot of trouble.

As far as the phone itself, it was BEAUTIFUL. The screen was awesome and the best part for me. The Gold was so pretty it would give a leprechaun a heart attack. The photos looked phenomenal. It was super fast and responsive and the phone's layout and functions differed little from other Sony phones, but I actually love that. Unfortunately, the cell service was just too bad and I had to return it.
