A simplified and cheaper modification of the new season, but not without a twist

Sony is launching four new smartphones this year: Xperia X, Xperia X Performance, Xperia XA and Xperia XA Ultra. The basis of the line is the balanced flagship Xperia X and its advanced modification X Performance. We already got acquainted with the Xperia X model in the previous review, and very soon we will look at the older version in detail. For now, let's turn to the younger version. Model described today Sony Xperia The XA may well be called a simplified modification of the Xperia X smartphone. They have a lot in common, and in some ways this cheaper and more modest version may turn out to be even more interesting than its older brother in the new line.

Appearance and ease of use

In terms of dimensions, the five-inch models Xperia X and Xperia XA are almost identical, and in shape too. Here the continuity of design is obvious, it has been passed on to one degree or another from generation to generation since the days of the Xperia Z, and now all this is reproduced in the updated Xperia X/XA family, but with adjustments to modern realities.

Little has changed: the corners in the plan have become a little more rounded, the sides have become smoother and more rounded, the front panels have acquired 2.5D glass with sloping edges, making all new Sony smartphones more streamlined and smooth.

But there are also differences between the XA and X versions: the most noticeable ones are on the front and rear panels. As for the back side, everything is prosaic: the cheaper Xperia XA model has a cheaper body, which has not metal as the back wall, like the Xperia X, but plastic that imitates metal.

But with the front side, everything is not so obvious, and here, oddly enough, it is the simplified Xperia XA model that wins. The fact is that this new product has the same notorious “frameless” design, when the thickness of the frame around the display is reduced to a minimum. In the Xperia XA, the width of the frame on the sides is no more than a millimeter, it is almost invisible. The older model Xperia X does not have such a “frameless” effect; its frame width is quite familiar, and this is surprising.

As for the quality of materials and assembly, in this regard the Xperia XA is at the proper level, although a couple of annoying points can be mentioned. The first is a weak grease-repellent coating on the front glass of the screen. It really gets covered with fingerprints very quickly and doesn’t wipe off well, which sometimes makes the smartphone look sloppy.

The second point is related to the sidewalls. For some reason, the side edges of the Xperia XA body are covered with metal (or metallized) plates, very reminiscent of smooth metal and very slippery. The other surfaces of the smartphone are generally not slippery, but the side edges suffer from this drawback. And this is wrong: because of them, the device constantly tries to slip out of your hands.

In terms of the distribution of elements on the body of the Xperia XA, everything is familiar. Cards are inserted into the side slot on the left, and here we can highlight the second (after the “frameless” display, which the older model lacks) positive difference between the Xperia XA and the Xperia X. The fact is that under the cover there are two slots for cards, and not one hybrid, as in the Xperia X. That is, in the Xperia XA you can simultaneously insert two SIM cards and another microSD memory card, and for this you do not have to remove one of the SIM cards, which is good news.

For SIM cards there are two equivalent compartments for Nano-SIM cards. Hot swapping is not provided: Sony smartphones always reboot themselves as soon as the cover of the corresponding slots is opened. A nice thing is that in Japanese smartphones the tray for SIM cards does not need to be squeezed out using a paperclip; it can be easily removed after picking it up with a fingernail.

Mechanical buttons are located on the opposite, right side of the case. Unlike older models, there is no fingerprint scanner integrated into the power button. And the button itself is different in shape: it is not elongated, but round, as in previous Xperia Z models even before the appearance of fingerprint sensors in them.

The front panel has all the right elements, including an LED event indicator that shines a dot above the screen in case of charging or missed messages.

Sony no longer has touch buttons at the bottom under the screen, only virtual ones on the screen. And in this regard, it can be noted that quite a lot of completely free, unoccupied space is left under the screen.

There is nothing on the back of the case except a camera window with a flash. The camera module does not protrude beyond the surface, the flash is implemented with a single LED, not too bright.

The main speaker is located at the bottom end, next to the Micro-USB connector, located in the center and supporting the connection of third-party devices USB mode OTG (USB Host). Between them you can see a small hole for the speaking microphone.

The second microphone, for the noise reduction system, is located at the top end, next to the audio output for headphones.

Like the Xperia X, our review hero did not receive protection from water and dust; in the new family, only the most advanced Xperia X Performance has it. As for the colors of the case, here the buyer has a choice of four colors: white, black (“graphite black”), lemon (“golden lime”) and copper-pink (“rose gold”). These colors will be present to one degree or another in all modern Sony models.

Screen

The smartphone is equipped touch screen IPS with fashionable 2.5D glass with sloping edges. The physical dimensions of the display are 62x110 mm, diagonal - 5 inches. The size is exactly the same as the Xperia X, but the resolution is half the size, only 1280x720, and the pixel density is 293 ppi. But the frame around the screen, unlike the Xperia X, is so thin that it’s difficult to measure. However, despite the thin frame and rounded edges of the glass, there is no trace of accidental touches on the screen, and the absence of a frame does not cause discomfort.

The display brightness is automatically adjusted based on the light sensor. There is also a proximity sensor that blocks the screen when you bring the smartphone to your ear. Multi-touch technology allows you to process 10 simultaneous touches - however, the standard AnTuTu test could not adequately cope with this screen. Unlike the Xperia X, the smartphone in question does not support working with the screen while wearing gloves. And of course, the function of working with wet fingers is a thing of the past, since new Sony smartphones are not protected from water.

Detailed examination using measuring instruments conducted by the editor of the “Monitors” and “Projectors and TV” sections Alexey Kudryavtsev. Here is his expert opinion on the screen of the sample under study.

The front surface of the screen is made in the form of a glass plate with a mirror-smooth surface that is scratch-resistant. Judging by the reflection of objects, the anti-glare properties of the screen are better than those of the Google Nexus 7 (2013) screen (hereinafter simply Nexus 7). For clarity, here is a photograph in which a white surface is reflected in the switched off screens of both devices (Sony Xperia XA, as it is not difficult to determine, is on the right; then they can be distinguished by size):

Both screens are dark, but the Sony screen is still darker (its brightness in the photo is 103 versus 111 for the Nexus 7). The tripling of reflected objects in the Sony Xperia XA screen is very weak, this indicates that there is no air gap between the outer glass (also known as the touch sensor) and the surface of the matrix (OGS - One Glass Solution type screen). Due to the smaller number of boundaries (glass/air type) with very different refractive indices, such screens look better under strong external illumination, but their repair in the case of cracked external glass is much more expensive, since the entire screen has to be replaced. The outer surface of the screen has a special oleophobic (grease-repellent) coating (not very effective, noticeably worse than that of the Nexus 7), so fingerprints are removed more easily and appear at a slower rate than with regular glass.

When manually controlling the brightness and displaying the white field in full screen, its maximum value was about 550 cd/m², and the minimum was 3.6 cd/m². The maximum value is very high, and, given the excellent anti-glare properties, in bright daylight and even in direct sun the image on the screen should be clearly visible. In complete darkness, the brightness can be reduced to a comfortable level. Automatic brightness adjustment works based on the light sensor (it is located to the left of the logo on the front panel). IN automatic mode When external lighting conditions change, the screen brightness both increases and decreases. This function is dependent on brightness adjustment. If it is at a minimum, then in complete darkness the auto-brightness function reduces the brightness to 4.7 cd/m² (a bit dark), in an office illuminated by artificial light (about 400 lux) it sets it to 37 cd/m² (it could have been brighter), in bright environment (corresponds to lighting on a slightly cloudy day outdoors - about 10,000 lux) increases to 460 cd/m² (sufficient). If the brightness slider is at half scale, then the screen brightness for the three conditions above is as follows: 44, 160 and 550 cd/m² (suitable values). If the brightness control is set to maximum - 180, 310, 600 cd/m² (the first two values ​​are too high). Everything looks good, but the problem is that in very bright light (on a clear day outside, but without direct sunlight - 20,000 lux or a little more), the brightness of the backlight is greatly reduced. As shown third party programs, this is due to a light sensor that is not working correctly. As a result, it cannot be said that the auto-brightness function works adequately. At any brightness level, there is no significant backlight modulation, so there is no screen flicker.

This screen uses an IPS type matrix. The microphotographs show a typical IPS subpixel structure:

For comparison, you can see the gallery of microphotographs of screens used in mobile technology.

The screen has good viewing angles without inverting shades (except for the very, very dark ones when deviating along one diagonal) and without significant color shifts even with large deviations of the view from perpendicular to the screen. For comparison, here are photographs in which the same images are displayed on the screens of the Nexus 7 and Sony Xperia XA, while the screen brightness is initially set to approximately 200 cd/m² (over a white field in the entire screen), and the color balance on the camera is forcibly switched to 6500 K . White field perpendicular to the plane of the screens:

Note the good uniformity of brightness and color tone of the white field. And a test picture:

Colors are rich on both screens, and the color balance is noticeably different. Now at an angle of approximately 45 degrees to the plane and to the side of the screen:

It can be seen that the colors have not changed much on both screens, and on the Sony Xperia XA the contrast has decreased to a greater extent due to a greater brightening of blacks and a greater drop in brightness, and there are also signs of inversion of dark shades. And a white field:

The brightness at an angle for both screens decreased noticeably, but in the case of the Sony Xperia XA the drop in brightness is slightly greater. When deviated diagonally, the black field brightens greatly and acquires a purple or reddish tint. The photographs below demonstrate this (the brightness of the white areas in the direction perpendicular to the plane of the screens is the same for the screens!):

And from another angle:

When viewed perpendicularly, the uniformity of the black field is good:

It can be seen that the curved edges refract light from the black field illuminated at the corners, which does not look very good. The contrast (approximately in the center of the screen) is high - about 970:1. The response time for the black-white-black transition is 15 ms (7.5 ms on + 7.5 ms off). The transition between halftones of gray 25% and 75% (based on the numerical value of the color) and back takes a total of 25 ms. The gamma curve, constructed using 32 points with equal intervals based on the numerical value of the shade of gray, did not reveal a blockage either in the highlights or in the shadows. The exponent of the approximating power function is 2.63, which is higher than the standard value of 2.2, while the real gamma curve deviates greatly from the power law:

Due to the presence of dynamic adjustment of the backlight brightness in accordance with the nature of the output image (in dark images, the brightness tends to decrease), the resulting dependence of brightness on hue (gamma curve) does not correspond to the gamma curve of a static image, since the measurements were carried out with sequential output of shades of gray almost the entire screen. For this reason, we carried out a number of tests - determining contrast and response time, comparing black illumination at angles - when displaying special templates with a constant average brightness, and not monochromatic fields in the entire screen. In general, such non-disabled brightness correction does nothing but harm, since it reduces the visibility of gradations in the shadows in the case of dark images. In addition, this dynamic adjustment, when displaying any image other than a white field on the entire screen, significantly reduces the brightness, which impairs readability in bright light, and the constant adjustment of brightness can be very annoying.

The color gamut is slightly different from sRGB:

The spectra show that the matrix filters moderately mix the components with each other:

As a result, visually the colors have a natural saturation. The balance of shades on the gray scale is acceptable, since the color temperature, although higher than the standard 6500 K, but the deviation from the blackbody spectrum (ΔE) is below 10, which is considered a good indicator for a consumer device. At the same time, color temperature and ΔE change little from hue to hue - this has a positive effect on the visual assessment of color balance. (The darkest areas of the gray scale can be ignored, since color balance there is not very important, and the error in measuring color characteristics at low brightness is large.)

This smartphone has the ability to adjust the color balance by adjusting the intensities of the three primary colors.

That's what we tried to do, the result is data signed as Corr. in the graphs above. As a result, we improved the balance on the white field, but the spread of values ​​on dark shades increased catastrophically. In fact, there is no point in making corrections in this case. In the settings you can choose one of three correction profiles.

The photos above are taken for option Turn off. Note that the correction only works in Sony applications - when viewing images and, apparently, in the video player. This is what happens if you select a profile Extreme brightness mode:

The color contrast increases, nothing remains of the naturalness of the colors. In mode Mobile Bravia Engine 2 Nothing bad happens to the image - on the contrary, contour sharpening is disabled:

Let's summarize. Brightness adjustment range of this screen very wide, excellent anti-glare properties, which allows you to comfortably use your smartphone both on a sunny day on the beach and in complete darkness. It is acceptable to use the mode with automatic brightness adjustment, but you need to be prepared for the fact that in very high ambient light conditions this function will make the screen unreadable due to a strong decrease in the brightness of the backlight. The advantages include the absence of an air gap in the screen layers and flicker, high contrast, good uniformity of the black field, as well as a color gamut close to sRGB and acceptable color balance. The disadvantages are an ineffective oleophobic coating, low black stability to gaze deviation from perpendicular to the screen plane, as well as non-switchable dynamic adjustment of the backlight brightness. And the curved edges of the outer glass do not add comfort, since they glare all the time and tend to glow in the dark. Nevertheless, taking into account the importance of characteristics for this particular class of devices (and the most important thing is the visibility of information in a wide range of external conditions), the quality of the screen can be considered high.

Sound

The Xperia XA sounds less interesting than the Xperia X; the sound of the main speaker here is quite simple. For a call signal, this high, piercing, monochromatic high-frequency sound is quite enough, but for listening to melodies there is not enough width of the frequency spectrum, nor the depth and brightness of the sound, nor, in general, even the volume reserve. The sound is certainly more interesting in headphones; overall, everything is pretty good, but there are fewer settings than in flagships. There is automatic optimization of all sound parameters using complex function ClearAudio+, but if you turn it off, then from manual settings You can only find an equalizer with preset values ​​and surround sound emulation, which few people use at all.

There are no complaints about the conversational speaker and microphone: the intonation and timbre of a familiar voice remain recognizable, there is practically no noise, the sound is clear, although also not at all saturated or bright. The sensitivity of the microphones is normal, the voice is recorded clearly on the recorder and is clearly distinguishable when played back, the noise reduction system copes with its tasks adequately.

There is an FM radio in the smartphone, automatic recording telephone conversations from the line using regular funds not provided.

Camera

The Sony Xperia XA smartphone is equipped with two cameras with a resolution of 13 and 8 megapixels. This, of course, is not 23 and 13 megapixels, like the older Xperia X, but still not bad. The front camera here has an 8-megapixel sensor with an Exmor R matrix for mobile devices and a wide-angle lens (88°) with f/2.0 aperture without autofocus and its own flash. Here, as for the main camera, automatic and manual control modes are supported, you can use HDR and even add animation effects using the creative AR effect mode. The front camera takes high-quality pictures, with good sharpness and color rendition, quite decent for a selfie.

The main camera features a 13-megapixel 1/3-inch Exmor RS mobile sensor and a 24mm f/2.0 wide-angle G Lens with fast hybrid autofocus. The maximum light sensitivity is manually set to ISO 3200, but the official settings state ISO 12800.

All new Sony smartphones, as before, received SteadyShot stabilization with Intelligent Active Mode, which ensures smooth shooting without distortion. And of course, Sony is practically the only manufacturer that still installs a separate hardware camera control button in its smartphones.

In manual mode, everything is exactly the same as in older models: you can set sensitivity, white balance, and change the focus type. There is a five-fold digital zoom using Clear Image zoom technology. Additional modes are also present, including those downloaded separately - panoramic, photo with sound, Sticker Creator, face in the image - everything is in place. One of the most unusual is the familiar augmented reality mode called AR effect, which makes it possible to combine real photographs with animation.

By the way, unlike older models, camera control is not transferred here third party applications via Camera2 API, RAW recording is also not supported.

The camera cannot shoot video in 4K (since even the older Xperia X model does not do this), the maximum resolution is 1920x1080. True, on the Xperia X you can shoot at 60 fps, but this is not even possible here. The SteadyShot stabilization function is noticeable when shooting on the move, and the image really becomes smooth. The camera copes with video shooting on the whole decently: the image is bright, without noticeable artifacts, with good color rendition, although a bit crumbly and with undistinguished detail. The sound is recorded with high quality; Sony traditionally pays a lot of attention to the noise reduction system in its cameras.

• Video No. 1 (35 MB, 1920×1080 @30 fps, H.264, AAC)
• Video No. 2 (23 MB, 1920×1080 @30 fps, H.264, AAC)

	Good sharpness across the field and plans. On the left there is a noticeable area of ​​blur.
	Sometimes the camera has slight problems with white balance.
	The camera copes well with macro photography.
	As the shot is removed, the sharpness drops very smoothly.
	Good sharpness in distant shots.
	The text is well done.
	Good detail in close-ups.

Sony Xperia XA	Apple iPhone 6Plus

The camera turned out to be quite good. The software processing is not very noticeable, and shortcomings such as not very accurate white balance and the out-of-focus zone on the left can be forgiven for the good sharpness in the field and in the plans in the rest of the frame. So the camera can handle most situations.

Telephone and communications

Sony Xperia XA operates in most 2G GSM, 3G WCDMA network bands, and also has support for LTE Cat.4 with a theoretical maximum download speed of up to 150 Mbps. The smartphone supports all three of the most common LTE FDD bands among domestic operators (B3, B7 and B20). Connection speed in 4G networks and work with cellular networks In general, Sony Xperia XA does not cause any complaints from Russian operators: the smartphone instantly reconnects after a break, does not lose connection in areas of uncertain reception, and produces the highest speeds in 4G in test locations, where competitors show much worse results. In terms of communication capabilities, Sony smartphones are always at their best; this is one of their advantages.

The device also has support for Bluetooth 4.1 LE, NFC, supports two Wi-Fi bands (2.4 and 5 GHz) MU-MIMO, Wi-Fi Direct, Wi-Fi Display, DLNA and Miracast, you can organize a wireless access point through channels Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. Micro-USB connector supports USB 2.0 specification and connectivity external devices in USB OTG mode. The NFC module demonstrates compatibility with the Mifare Classic protocol, which is necessary for the successful operation of the “” application with the Troika transport card.

The navigation module works with GPS (A-GPS) and Glonass without the support of the Chinese Beidou. There are no complaints about the operating speed of the navigation module; the first satellites are detected during a cold start within the first seconds. The smartphone is equipped with a magnetic field sensor, on the basis of which the compass of navigation programs operates.

The smartphone supports two SIM cards using the Dual SIM Dual Standby standard. There is only one radio module, so there can only be one active conversation. A SIM card in any slot can work with 3G/4G networks, but only one of the cards can work in this mode at the same time (the second will only work in 2G). The choice between two SIM cards for making calls, sending SMS, etc. can be done in advance or immediately before the connection.

OS and software

Xperia XA is based on the Android 6.0 platform with its own shell, it is exactly the same as the older model Xperia X. Compared to previous generations, only the external appearance has changed: the icons are completely redrawn, the themes change depending on the color of the case.

The internal structure, the location of menu sections, the organization of desktops, etc. - everything remains the same except for the little things. The standard keyboard has changed: now it is replaced by SwiftKey, it is installed by default. Mini-applications have completely disappeared - apparently few people used them. The pull-out menu in the section has also been removed installed programs. For those accustomed to the proprietary interface of Sony smartphones, such changes are unlikely to seem catastrophic; the interface has become a little simpler and more intuitive.

Performance

For the hardware of its cheaper XA series smartphones, Sony chose products from Taiwanese MediaTek, while the more expensive Xperia X uses Qualcomm Snapdragon. The Sony Xperia XA is powered by the MT6755 SoC, also known as the Helio P10. The Helio P10 configuration includes a 64-bit eight-core True8Core ARM Cortex-A53 processor running at 2 GHz and an ARM Mali-T860 graphics processor running at 700 MHz.

Volume RAM smartphone is 2 GB, the volume of built-in flash memory is 16 GB, of which about 11 GB are initially available to the user for his needs. This volume can be increased using microSD cards, and unlike older models of the X series, here you don’t have to remove one of the SIM cards for this; all three cards are installed in the device at the same time. It is also possible to connect to USB port external flash drives in OTG mode. MicroSD cards are supported up to 200GB in capacity, and in practice our 128GB Transcend Premium microSDXC UHS-1 test card was reliably recognized by the device.

Judging by the comparison table with test data from other current mobile platforms, we can state that the new SoC MediaTek MT6755 (Helio P10) is noticeably ahead in all respects of the mid-range MT6753, which was extremely popular among manufacturers last season, and even the once flagship MediaTek MT6795 is already no better than our heroine. That is, today’s average level of mobile platforms turns out to be better in their capabilities than the top level of last year, which is good news.

Most of all, the Helio P10's results are close to another fresh mid-level platform - HiSilicon Kirin 650. Only here the graphics are slightly better, and in complex and specialized browser tests there is absolute parity between them.

It is interesting to compare the performance of the Xperia XA with the older model Xperia X. That one is also built not on the top Qualcomm platform, but on a mid-level SoC. However, its results in all tests are noticeably higher, both in general and in specialized ones, including graphics, which allows us to evaluate the Helio P10 and Qualcomm Snapdragon 650/652 as solutions of different levels. And if we call the MediaTek MT6755 and HiSilicon Kirin 650 platforms mid-level, then for higher in all respects, but still not flagship Qualcomm Snapdragon 650/652, we will have to add some sub-flagship level, which is above average, but below top-end. In any case, the Xperia X turns out to be more productive in all tests than the Xperia XA, which is quite logical for the older and more expensive model in the line.

Based on the testing results, we can confidently say that the Helio P10’s level is not top-end, but rather average. At the same time, for all modern tasks, the capabilities of this SoC should be more than enough at the moment. It can also cope with demanding games so far: World of Tanks can be played comfortably at maximum fps; heavier games do not run at such high fps, but also do not show the slightest lag.

Testing in the latest versions of comprehensive tests AnTuTu and GeekBench 3:

For convenience, we have compiled all the results we obtained when testing the smartphone in the latest versions of popular benchmarks into tables. The table usually adds several other devices from different segments, also tested on similar latest versions of benchmarks (this is done only for a visual assessment of the dry numbers obtained). Unfortunately, within the framework of one comparison it is impossible to present the results from different versions benchmarks, so many worthy and relevant models remain “behind the scenes” - due to the fact that they once passed the “obstacle course” on previous versions of test programs.

Testing the graphics subsystem in gaming tests 3DMark, GFXBenchmark and Bonsai Benchmark:

When testing in 3DMark, the most powerful smartphones now have the ability to run the application in Unlimited mode, where the rendering resolution is fixed at 720p and VSync is disabled (which can cause the speed to rise above 60 fps).

Browser cross-platform tests:

As for benchmarks for assessing the speed of the javascript engine, you should always make allowance for the fact that their results significantly depend on the browser in which they are launched, so the comparison can only be truly correct on the same OS and browsers, and this is possible during testing not always. For Android OS, we always try to use Google Chrome.

Thermal photographs

Below is a thermal image of the rear surface, obtained after 10 minutes of running the battery test in the GFXBenchmark program (the lighter, the higher the temperature):

Heating is clearly localized in the upper part of the device, which apparently corresponds to the location of the SoC chip. According to the heat camera, the maximum heating was 41 degrees (at an ambient temperature of 24 degrees), this is the average heating in this test for modern smartphones.

Playing video

To test the omnivorous nature of video playback (including support for various codecs, containers and special features, such as subtitles), we used the most common formats, which make up the bulk of the content available on the Internet. Note that for mobile devices it is important to have support for hardware video decoding at the chip level, since it is most often impossible to process modern options using processor cores alone. Also, you shouldn’t expect a mobile device to decode everything, since the leadership in flexibility belongs to the PC, and no one is going to challenge it. All results are summarized in a single table.

According to the testing results, the test subject was not equipped with all the necessary decoders that are needed to fully play most of the most common multimedia files on the network, in this case, audio files. To successfully play them, you will have to resort to the help of a third-party player - for example, MX Player. True, it is also necessary to change the settings and manually install additional custom codecs, because now this player does not officially support the AC3 sound format.

Format	Container, video, sound	MX Video Player	Standard video player
BDRip 720p	MKV, H.264 1280×720, 24fps, AAC	plays normally	plays normally
BDRip 720p	MKV, H.264 1280×720, 24fps, AC3		The video plays fine, there is no sound

BDRip 1080p	MKV, H.264 1920×1080, 24fps, AC3	The video plays fine, there is no sound	The video plays fine, there is no sound

Further testing of video playback was performed Alexey Kudryavtsev.

We did not find the MHL interface, like Mobility DisplayPort, in this smartphone, so we had to limit ourselves to testing the output of video files on the screen of the device itself. To do this, we used a set of test files with an arrow and a rectangle moving one division per frame (see “Methodology for testing video playback and display devices. Version 1 (for mobile devices) Red marks indicate possible problems related to the playback of the corresponding files.

According to the criterion of frame output, the quality of playback of video files on the screen of the smartphone itself is good, since frames (or groups of frames) can (but are not required) be output with more or less uniform alternation of intervals and without skipping frames. Note the atypically high screen refresh rate of approximately 67-68 Hz. As a result, in the case of files with 60 fps, 7-8 frames per second are output with an increased duration. When playing video files with a resolution of 1280 by 720 (720p) on a smartphone screen, the image of the video file itself is displayed exactly along the border of the screen, one to one in pixels, that is, in the original resolution. The brightness range displayed on the screen corresponds to the standard range of 16-235 (all gradations of shades are displayed in shadows and highlights), which is required for correct playback of typical video files.

Battery life

The capacity of the non-removable battery installed in the Sony Xperia XA is small by modern standards - 2300 mAh. And we must admit that Sony did not think through the issue of power consumption of its device well enough - apparently relying on the assurances of the MediaTek developers that the new technical process and the new platform as a whole have become much more economical. MediaTek always says this, but the problem is still there: Sony Xperia XA showed weak results battery life, there’s no other way to say it. It's clear that Sony is counting on the power of its Stamina power-saving modes, but without them, the smartphone performs barely satisfactorily in all standard tests.

Continuous reading in the Moon+ Reader program (with a standard, light theme, with auto-scrolling) at a minimum comfortable brightness level (brightness was set to 100 cd/m²) lasted more than 9.5 hours until completely discharged. When continuously watching videos from Youtube in high quality (720p) with the same brightness level through the home Wi-Fi network The device did not even last up to 8 hours. In 3D gaming mode, the smartphone operates for 2.5-3 hours.

The smartphone is charged from its own network charger in approximately 1 hour 40-50 minutes with a current of 1 A at a voltage of 5 V. Wireless charging the device does not support.

Bottom line

Many people liked the price of the Xperia XA: the device is sold at the time of writing the review for 22 thousand rubles, and they are asking a thousand more for a dual-SIM modification of the same model. What can I say? For Sony's level, this may be a low price, and it is significantly lower than the same Xperia X, offered for 40-41 thousand. However, in the same price category is, for example, the no less interesting model Huawei P9 lite, which does not add anything to the price for the dual-SIM modification - they are all dual-SIM. And a Huawei smartphone with similar characteristics costs 20 thousand, not 23, that is, 3 thousand cheaper than the hero of the review. Is this a price for a more well-known brand? But with a price of up to 20 thousand, you can count many other interesting devices. However, for loyal connoisseurs of the Sony brand Xperia smartphone XA may seem like an interesting proposal, it all depends on your own wallet, and not the wallet of an abstract user. Objective disadvantages of the new Sony model: water protection is removed, battery life is low, the sound is simple. The rest is at a decent level: screen, platform, communication capabilities, cameras in general are at least good. And yet I can’t help but think that the model is a little overrated.

Not everyone needs it flagship smartphones or huge “shovels” - a medium-sized phone with a moderate price tag and an attractive design often turns out to be more in demand among the people. Like, for example, the youngest in the X-line of smartphones from Sony - Sony Xperia XA.

The smartphone looks very attractive and a little unusual - mainly due to the unusually thin side frames around the display. Their thickness, together with the rounding of the body, is only 2 mm, which is why the device in your hands looks like just a screen with two dark stripes at the top and bottom. At the same time, due to the rather wide frames at the top and bottom, the case looks unusually narrow and tall.

There are three color options for the Sony Xperia XA - white, gold and graphite black, reviewed by the editors latest version. In this color, the smartphone looks strict and stylish, and despite its relatively small size (by the way, at the time of its release it was the narrowest model with a 5-inch screen), it looks like a typically masculine smartphone. The screen is covered with protective glass with an oleophobic coating and rounded edges (so-called “2.5D glass”).

The side edges are metal, the top and bottom are plastic, they differ minimally in appearance and touch from the side edges (except for the subjective feeling of “it’s cold/not cool”).

The back cover is made of plastic with a matte finish, non-marking and practical - it does not leave fingerprints, dirt is easily removed, and does not slip in your hands.

On the left side, under the protective cap, there are two slots: one for a microSD memory card and the second for two nano-SIM SIM cards. On the right side, just above the center, there is a power button, below it is a volume rocker, and at the very bottom is a camera shutter button (a signature feature of Sony smartphones).

Subjective impressions of the smartphone are very pleasant; the device fits perfectly into a medium-sized palm and can be controlled well with one hand. True, the location of the power button and the unlocking method (swipe either from bottom to top or from right to left) are mostly aimed at right-handers - users who are used to operating the phone with their left hand will not be so comfortable.

Display

The Sony Xperia XA uses a 5-inch IPS display with a resolution of 1280x720 pixels, the pixel density is 294 PPI (for comparison, the iPhone 6s has 326 PPI); When looking closely at the image, it is, in principle, possible to distinguish the “grain”, but in normal use it is not visible.

The screen is very bright (maximum value - 450 cd/m²), so that on the street the image, although faded, is still clearly visible. High contrast (1500:1) and a slightly higher gamma value make the picture rich and rich, with deep shadows. A slightly elevated color temperature, which gives a slightly cold tint, can be corrected in the menu using the “white balance” parameter, and if the user seems that the photos lack color saturation, the “colorfulness” can be increased in the display settings by turning on the Mobile BRAVIA Engine 2 parameter in "Image Enhancement" menu.

Hardware platform

The smartphone is powered by a MediaTek MT6755 Helio P10 chipset, with an 8-core Cortex-A53 CPU running at 2 GHz and a dual-core Mali-T860 GPU. There is 2 GB of RAM, 16 GB of built-in memory. Overall, it’s a typical mid-level device, with sufficient performance for both regular applications and fairly demanding games. True, the smoothness of the interface, especially with a large number of widgets on home tables, could be better.

Calls, multimedia

The editors visited the dual-SIM version of the smartphone - Sony Xperia XA Dual (there is also a single-SIM version). For SIM cards there is a separate tray with two “seats” for nano-SIM, next to it there is a slot for a memory card.

With a second noise-cancelling microphone, your voice is clearly audible and clear to the other person, even despite ambient noise. There were no special comments regarding the conversational speaker, although additional volume reserve would not have hurt it. The multimedia speaker sounds without distortion, but in terms of volume it also has nothing special to brag about - its volume level can be described as somewhat below average. The “musical” abilities of the Sony Xperia XA are not bad - an ordinary user, having connected his favorite headphones to his smartphone, will not be disappointed, but an audiophile will certainly find something to complain about.

Operating system and shell

The device runs Android 6.0 OS, supplemented with Sony's proprietary shell. It makes few changes - the designers clearly did not have the task of completely redrawing the interface, but functionally the shell has some features.

So, unlocking is done by swiping up or to the left (swiping right does nothing, swiping down brings up the notification screen). On the lock screen, the clock numbers are transparent, you can see the wallpaper through them home screen. Home screens, notification area and application menu do not offer any special differences from “pure” Android - except perhaps for the ability to change appearance using themes downloaded from the company store. From useful additions In the system settings, you can select the backup of user data (applications, contacts, messages, smartphone settings), which can be stored on a memory card, external USB drive or in Sony’s proprietary cloud.

Camera

The Sony Xperia XA uses a 13-megapixel main camera with f/2.0 aperture and a 1/3″ sensor.

The interface of the proprietary application is typical for the X-line of Sony smartphones: a vertical swipe switches modes, a horizontal swipe switches between the main and front cameras. A separate hardware shutter button allows you to quickly switch to camera mode from a locked state (or immediately take a photo/video) - this does not happen instantly, but quite quickly (in less than a second).

The quality of the images is quite high, the image is quite clear (although the grass and foliage of trees sometimes tend to merge into a “mush”) and with a relatively small amount of noise. In low light, detail is expectedly reduced and it is difficult to get a clear picture without blur, but the noise reduction here is not very aggressive. The dynamic range is quite good, but the colors sometimes lack saturation, and automatic detection White balance in a difficult situation does not always “guess” - some pictures turn out too cold.

Autonomy

The Sony Xperia XA Dual has a non-removable battery with a capacity of 2300 mAh - and despite the clearly not the most power-hungry screen, the smartphone has nothing to brag about in terms of operating time. In the PCMark “battery” test it lasted only 5 hours, and in general it lasted for two days only in a frankly “gentle” mode.

The hero of this review is a smartphone from the famous manufacturer Sony. The Xperia XA1 Dual model is the second copy in the XA line. It was presented in 2017. Unlike its predecessor, it has characteristics that correspond to the middle segment. But let’s look at which ones exactly in detail.

Appearance, controls, dimensions

Buyers are presented with several options for the Sony Xperia XA1 Dual: white, gold, black and pink. The case has a clear rectangular shape with rough corners, which is quite consistent with the style of this brand. The top and bottom ends have a chrome finish, thanks to which attention is focused on the small thickness. The dimensions of the gadget are 145 × 67 × 8 mm. Most of the body is made of plastic, but the “sides” have a metal finish.

Users responded enthusiastically to the presence of an oleophobic coating. Now there is no need to constantly wipe the screen. Rear panel has a matte surface. Unfortunately, there are always fingerprints on it, which can only be dealt with by putting on a case.

As for the functional elements, they are all located in the usual places, so there is no need to dwell on them in detail.

Screen and camera features

The middle segment corresponds to the XA1 Dual. For operation, the gadget has a five-inch diagonal screen. It is based on an IPS matrix. The colors on the display are displayed realistically and the viewing angles are wide. When you tilt your smartphone, you may notice a decrease in contrast and brightness. The pixel density (294 ppi) is enough to avoid seeing “squares” on the screen. Resolution - HD.

Particularly noteworthy is the main camera, which features a 23-megapixel Exmor RS™ sensor. Autofocus hybrid type. There is an option quick launch. Wide angle lens. High-quality images taken with the main camera are obtained even in poor lighting (ISO 6400). To get closer to the subject, a five-fold zoom is provided.

The front camera has a resolution of 8 megapixels. It is based on the Exmor R sensor. The pictures are of good quality even in low light.

Sony Xperia XA1 Dual: Performance Specifications

The “heart” of the smartphone is the powerful Helio P20 chipset TM MediaTek. It is based on Cortex-A53 computing elements. There are eight of them installed in total. The platform operates as a 4*4 type. The first half of the cores can be overclocked to 2300 MHz, the second operates at a lower frequency - 1600 MHz. There should be no problems with displaying graphics, since the device has a Mali-T880MP2 video card installed.

The gadget's power is enough to perform all tasks, without exception. Even “heavy” games run without problems. Of course, the amount of RAM plays a big role in performance. The developers installed 3Gb, which by modern standards is quite consistent with the middle segment. The size of the built-in memory is 32Gb. About 10 are occupied by the system. If the remaining is not enough, you can use an external drive.

The device is running the latest version of the OS. The seventh “Android” is supplemented with Sony’s proprietary interface. Any pronounced differences between “pure” operating system and there is practically no shell, with the exception of some “chips”. For example, unlocking is carried out by swiping up or to the left, the search for programs is started by swiping down.

Battery life

An important criterion for a mobile device is battery life. In this matter Sony specifications The Xperia XA1 Dual is hardly impressive. The battery installed in the phone has a small capacity. Unfortunately, only 2300 mAh is provided for everything. Accordingly, there is no point in expecting high results. With an average load, you can count on no more than 20-24 hours. If you put your smartphone in austerity mode, you can increase the battery life to two days.

Sony Xperia XA1 Dual: reviews

This model went on sale only in 2017, but users have already identified weak and strengths smartphone. The advantages definitely include an excellent display, original design, quality of materials used, body assembly and, of course, the main camera.

There were also shortcomings in the Sony Xperia XA1 Dual. The battery characteristics are quite weak for such a “filling”. A large number of reviews say that after a few months of use, the sensor around the edges stops working. Many also noticed that the device really lacks a fingerprint scanner.

Stylish design, pleasant and comfortable to hold in your hand, bright and rich screen, fast in operation - does not slow down, decent cameras with a bunch of different settings, powerful flashlight.

Cons

Discharges quickly, very delicate plastic on the back, low volume in the headphones, lack of a fingerprint scanner.

Review

I read a lot of reviews and watched reviews about this smartphone, and finally decided to buy it. The first disadvantage manifested itself literally “without leaving the checkout” - the plastic of the back cover turned out to be so not resistant to scratches that they appeared already in the process of the store employee sticking the film on the screen! Grab your case right away! By the way, if you buy a film for the ENTIRE screen, then due to the rounded edges it will be problematic to stick it yourself without skill, besides, these films are silicone, which complicates the sticking process. During operation, the device proved to be quite worthy, it works clearly and quickly, without freezing. 2GB of RAM is enough for me personally. We were pleased with the cameras, both the main one and the front one; the main one has many settings and additions. I'm pleased with the quality of the photos. The battery is of course rather weak, even despite several energy saving modes, if you actively use it for the whole day, of course the charge will not be enough. I was pleased that the smartphone is not overloaded with various unnecessary applications like other manufacturers, but still from the declared 16 GB. almost half is occupied by the system. The sound in the headphones is very quiet, if you travel in public transport the volume is sorely insufficient, you don’t even need to turn it on in the subway. To be honest, I didn’t expect this from SONY. But the sound quality is ideal, and there are many settings to improve it. There are no complaints about the quality of communication, everything is picked up very clearly and the interlocutor can be heard perfectly well during a conversation. Each device has its pros and cons, but I did not regret at all that I purchased the Sony Xperia XA Dual SIM, although it seems to me that the price is somewhat overpriced for such a smartphone. But this is SONY. Well, in general, if you take it, I think you won’t regret it.
