How is the Sony Xperia XA1?

I bought my first Sony Phone in 2014( Xperia M). Since then, i’m in love with Xperia phones( I still have Xperia M with me). It's UI simplicity gives a lag free experience. It's audio is also above average.

Sony Phones are costlier than other phones because

• They use high quality parts.
• Their own apps- album, Walkman, Audio Engine( absolutely amazing), Camera Apps. All these features and R&D makes it little costlier as compared to other devices.
• Better build design

Now coming to your question

Sony Xperia XA1 Drawbacks→

1. No fingerprint Scanner.
2. Still a 720p (HD) screen.
3. Some heating issues on heavy usage.

Now, should you buy it?

It totally depends on you. If you like SONY products you will like this phone too. Its Camera and App stability won’t disappoint you. You will fall in love with its design.

But if you want something better, go for Moto G5s Plus or Mi A1(5X). They have dual camera and a better Qualcomm Processor and Fingerprint.
