Poor camera image quality despite having a 12MP sensor
Without optical image stabilization and lacking much low-light performance, you'll be frustrated if you take a lot of pictures

Exceptional battery life
With nearly 12 hours of screen-on time per charge at indoor brightness levels, you don't need to pack a charger with you everywhere

•••
Comfortable to use with one hand
There's almost no bezels surrounding the small 5-inch screen of the Xperia XA, making it very easy and comfortable to use even one-handed.

Display quality is a letdown
The 720p display does not have a high enough resolution to display high-quality images like other modern smartphones.

•••
Good enough performance for basic tasks
The 64-bit chipset built into the phone is good enough for basic tasks. Navigating around the Android UI is lag-free, apps open quickly and most games will perform decently well.

Con
•••
Limited storage
The 16GB storage is rather limited and will be quickly filled up by apps, images, and videos.

Pro
•••
The camera is capable of taking good outdoor shots
Colours are accurate and vibrant, and the resolution is sufficient to make your shots look crisp when they're posted to social networks, but fine details look pretty fuzzy when you start to zoom in.

Battery does not last a full day
The 2300mAh battery is very disappointing. According to benchmarks it lasts an average of 8 hours on a single charge.

Con
•••
Lots of bloatware out of the box
Even though the Android experience on this phone is very close to stock Android, Sony still filled the Xperia XA with lots of unneeded software such as a PlayStation app, Xperia Lounge App and third-party software like AVG Antivirus, Koo eBooks app, and Amazon's shopping app.
