Sony Xperia XA Ultra unlocked smartphone,16GB White (US Warranty)

We have analyzed 428 reviews and found:

30% of users say that: Product works, work, working fine, is beautiful. Phone is great, is excellent, is amazing, is better. Screen is great, is huge, is beautiful, is amazing. Camera is amazing, is great, is nice, are good. 4% of users noticed that: Battery is awful, is currently lasting about 12-14 hours, is giving problems, is only 2700mah. Sony has an incompetent marketing team, has no solution, has 21 pixels and 16 back, has been nothing but problems. Battery life is not the best, is too short, was the worst, is horrible. Bluetooth is not better tha, can be a big time frustration, is hit or miss.
