Sony's Xperia XA1 is the successor of the Xperia XA. We've tested the Japanese mid-range smartphone with a 5-inch screen and checked the device's capabilities in terms of battery life and performance, looked closer at the installed cameras, and executed many other tests to find out how well the Xperia XA1 competes against other smartphones.

Sony's new budget device has a specced-out camera, small battery and slightly higher price point than its competition.

The Sony Xperia XA1 is a mid-range phone with premium styling. It's superslim and very narrow, with almost no bezels left or right of the screen. Equipped with 32GB of storage and a fast 8-core processor, it's not lacking in any department. But perhaps its top feature is its class-leading 23 megapixel camera.
