It is an awesome device for people on a tight budget, everything from the design to the software, everything runs smoothly.
It is the best device I ever had in my life.( I had samsungs, iphone, flipphones etc.)
You can say you dislike the device and you dont recommend it to others, but as I am assuming is you like high specs devices and expensives phone.
Depending what you went through in life, you have a tolerance level. My tolerance level is kinda high, but I expect events and situation to be in a favorable position.
My Xperia XA( Have it for almost one month) and I can say the following as I did mention alot of points in some of my previous post if you go in the second third page starting this page.
1-Device is really beautiful and sleek.( yes speaker is single( mono) , not stereo, I always use the music player app and go in the settings and use ClearAudio+ and peek up my equalizer so I can have a clear sound)
2-Internal software and hardware items are doing theirs job properly( never had a issue about lagging or app that are shutting down on theirs own.)
3-Camera on the back is the best one I had since then, I know there are devices with a high quality camera but as long as I can take good pictures( better than my SGS4m) I am satisfied.
4-I use it moderately and for my daily tasks, I do not stress-use the device and never use it as an alternate entertainement product( please tell your friend if he did before, to use a computer/laptop, tablet/tv or ps4/xbox to do whatever purposes.)
- Yes you can use your Xperia XA to watch youtube or play games, but expect your device to overheat and get a little bit laggy if you do download alot of stuff into the internal storage)
5-It has all the basics things we need to find in a smartphone, it is there to support our daily lives.
I am happy he was able to get a refund and that he went to buy a Samsung J5( good luck with samsung’s planned obsolescence ahahaha : D )
To anyone coming on this page trying to find any info about the Xperia XA, you can go in the user reviews and find all of my post by searching opinions with my name ( O.G)
Everything for the Xperia XA is satisfying and the only con I can say is the battery life.( 100% at 9AM, 35-50% at 9pm) with daily usage of facebook, snapchat, instagram & music( no games)
