First of all the phone looks very elegant and at first glance looks like it should be priced way above the current asking. Functionally it's great, I have not ran into any slow downs or hiccups. Setting it up was a snap and I had no problems throwing in a sim card from ATT and a micro SD for more storage and using it immediately.
The screen itself has great contrast and can easily be used in direct sunlight. The built in speaker leaves something to be desired when listening to music but the built in headphone jack makes up for it, the built in speaker works great for speaker calls and general use.
As far as the camera goes It's incredibly quick from time it takes to press the dedicated camera button to when the shutter snaps. Automatic setting take great pictures and it has many manual settings in case you want to get fancy.
Also, this phone repeatedly drops wifi. While connected to a wifi point, the phone will constantly act as if the internet is off, (it won't go through data while connected to wifi). Even though all other devices remain connected, and using the internet, this phone just stops being able to load anything. forcing you to turn wifi on and off to resolve the problem. I mean multiple time within a 5 minute window.
Avoid.
However, after 6 months of using it, the problems are showing. The battery life is so poor and it is burning hot while charging, it left a red mark on my leg(no joke). Phone is runing ridiculously slow, many crashes and forced reboot. The most inportant shortcoming is the touch screen: THE ROUND EDGE OF TOUCHSCREEN WONT RESPONSE!!! AT ALL!!! I can't click at lot of buttons, cant pull down the task bar, cant delete icons on my home screen......
Overall, this is not a good phone, even for this price. I am using my old sony z3+ as a backup because clearly i can not use this XA1 anymore, and it is working ok. If you want a low price smart phone, even z3+ is a better choice. At least after 2 yrs z3+ can still work, XA1 can't.
The screen and the back of the phone do scratch quickly, so try to get a case or not put it in your pocket with keys.
The real problem with this phone is the touchscreen. The corners and edges of the screen do not have any sensitivity. It takes a long time to press the enter key, and half of the time it will register as a nearby key (usually a period or the letter m). The backspace key is also on the side of the screen and it takes a while to get rid of these unintentionally typed letters. Sometimes you have to just lock the phone and reopen it so that it gets rid of the letters since backspacing is not possible. I've had friends try pressing backspace and enter and it doesn't work for them either, so it's not just my fingers. If you want to use the letter 'P' you're better off hoping the autocorrect knows what you're trying to say, since it takes ages to touch the screen just right and have it register. Get used to flipping the phone over to portrait mode and typing horizontally - it's the only way you can fully use the keyboard.
If you plan on using this for a short trip I think you'll be fine, but if you want to use it for a long time the touchscreen issues really get annoying and I'm only a month into my year abroad. I hope it doesn't get worse, since I can't send it back or use the warranty while over here.
