Sony Xperia XA2 Ultra - Pros & Cons

another solid offering from Sony and a great step forward in the right direction
smooth performance for most tasks
Color reproduction is accurate
Color reproduction is good and there are options to increase saturation or change white balance
decent overall performance and above-average camera capabilities
Brightness is decent enough
OIS keeping facial features looking crisp and detailed
Graphics performance was very close as well
XA2 Ultra performed admirably
plenty sharp and easy to read
has vibrant color
excellent contrast
great viewing angles
Performance was also brisk and smooth thanks
was fairly balanced - sound quality
Both ways worked reliably and very well
All buttons are easy to locate and very clicky
highly customizable keyboard app worked very well by and large
cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye
XA2 Ultra s display was very crisp and rich in detail
router signal strength was perfect and websites loaded quickly
device s up-to-date software and very decent handling capabilities
large screen and long battery life
was fairly decent and the remarkably accurate GPS was
very capable and stylish midrange device
contours are also smoother than some older Xperia handsets

this setting cannot be enforced by the benchmark app
device may be too hot or have other apps running in the background
Battery life is very sensitive to changes in screen brightness
Somewhat underpowered for the price
autofocus can be a little hit or miss in lower light
Front sensors sometimes feel like an afterthought
Barrel distortion sometimes creeps in
Sony has filled that extra space with a set of stereo speakers
Sony Xperia XA2 Ultra have wireless charging
it does not support wireless charging
Bezels have long been a weak point for Sony
Sony had to disable the sensor on all its older handsets
price is not as competitive as it should be
Shadows are heavily crushed in almost every situation
Overly aggressive noise reduction can strip out detail
It s cumbersome to access and unintuitive
Ultra will not produce mind-blowing benchmark numbers
The LED flash can be a bit harsh
Ultra is simply too expensive given how dated it feels
Sony relied on metal along the perimeter and plastic for the back
outdated designs and a lack of critical features
far too expensive for what you get
Embed a second hard drive
only a slot for SIM-cards and memory cards
score and contents below refer to an older Camera test protocol
Super-vivid is a bit too energetic for my taste
Ultra is a very large mid-range phone
Ultra costs only 379 half the price of the top giant-screen phones
the rear of the device is plastic
The SIM tray has no rubber seal
Low-contrast fine details are lost
noise becomes more noticeable in low-light conditions
blue skies can suffer from luminance noise
Shadow Fight 3 s frame rates were fluctuating wildly
Samsung Galaxy A8 is a little bit smaller
sRGB color accuracy was mediocre
display panels
drives or memory sticks with similar specifications
frequency is too low
users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches
the scanner to be overly sensitive at times

We put the smartphone through its paces to figure out whether or not it is worth purchasing, and whether or not it's worth the money. This particular phone is not a dual SIM phone: the XA2 Ultra supports only one SIM card.
