  1. I dunno why all the reviews are saying it is a giant phone or a 'beast'. I just got this today and there is nothing surprising or WOW! about it thats so big. Before buying this phone i was using the Xperia XA1 Plus (5.5 inch display) so for me the ultra is a just slightly bigger not very much at all. I guess those that have used more smaller phones than 5.0 inches or less will find the ultra huge/massive.
    Also 9mm sides are not thick at all, just normal. I would have bought the XA1 ultra which is 2mm long than the XA2 ultra but the XA1 ultra is full of bugs. 221g – heavy phone?! After using the XA1 Plus, its the same weight.

  2. I got an XPERIA-XA2 last week, its not the "Ultra" so not too sure on all the exact differences. But im really pleased with it, i think it feels great in the hand.. i know most probably look for "Lightness" these days, but i like that it has a bit of weight to it and the metal casing adds a bit of a quality feel too. The (4K Video/23Mp Camera/8Mp Wide Angle Fwd Camera) all seem like great quality, but havent even begun to explore all their features yet. I always like to try and go for something a little different, while almost everyone these days has to follow the trend of Samsung or iphone (which i wouldn't have if it was FREE!).. Its a bit of a shame to think how many are missing out on nice phones like this. Im no smartphone expert though, just my opinion.

  3. It's a shame that with those bezels as big as they are Sony couldn't manage stereo speakers. But people complaining about a plastic back?? Are you not gonna use a plastic phone case in the end anyway?

  4. Thats what bezels really are good for. Basil is really showing that in this video. Can you do that holding and play a game of Fruit-ninja on a bezelless mobilephone? I cant se that done on Samsung, LG, Huawei and so one, bezelless phones.

  5. Just checked this thing out at Best Buy and compared it to all the other top volume phones. The video streaming quality of it blew the others out of the water, if you can get past the bulkiness of it. I've been a Samsung guy for years, and I hated my AMOLED screen after comparing it to this guy. For watching videos or movies, this thing wins for me hands down.

  6. Amoled displays die faster while the "non popy colors" die much faster. the screen is really good thought so and colorful enough

  7. In terms of the front camera, you'd be surprised how many people use the front camera when they try to take pictures of the us Capitol rotunda. Using the camera that way makes it very useful.

  8. I have had this phone for about 2 weeks and It's great!!!!!! The battery cell is 3580 and it lasts so long! Truts me buy it. also it doesn't feel cheap at all! And if you do get it get it in silver!!!!
