Sony makes some important changes with its smartphone. But the XZ2 and XZ2 Compact are not the first Sony phones at CES in 2018; Sony unveiled the XPERIA XA2 Ultra , a midrange device that unites Sony's new and old design concepts.
But just because the phone does not have the new design style of Sony does not mean that it has no advantages. We've found that it offers consistent performance, good battery life and a powerful camera. However, these features alone cannot be enough to cost $ 450. Let's take a closer look.
Design:
Sony has not changed its smartphone design in the last four years. It finally happened on the XZ2 and XZ2 Compact, but the XA2 Ultra basically met its old standard. This phone is very thick, heavy and has sharp corners that are unattractive. Its 6-inch screen makes it a monster, especially because it does not follow the modern "boundless trend" that we see on other phones.
On the back of the XA2 Ultra you will find a camera and a fingerprint sensor. That's right, there's a fingerprint sensor on this phone. Why is it so amazing? Sony is notorious for turning off fingerprint sensors on earlier devices in the US market alone. The company often says that this is due to business decisions. We're happy to see it exists, but the sensor's placement is a bit too high for our preferences, making it hard to achieve.
Unlike most smartphones on the market today, there is no other technology than Androids Smart Lock that allows you to unlock your phone with your face. But hey, we're happy how fingerprint sensors work. On the right edge of the phone you will find the power switch and the volume rocker as well as a special camera shutter. If you are not in the Camera app, you can press the camera key to activate the camera so you can take a photo.
At the top there is a headphone jack that will not be visible on the upcoming XZ2 and XZ2 Compact ships. Below are a USB Type C connector and a tripod stand. However, the upper frame still has some interesting things. Most modern smart phones offer dual-camera systems (sometimes even three) on the back. Sony has changed the difference compared to the XA2 Ultra via a dual camera on the front of the phone and even the flash. We will consider what it means later.
Performance:
The XPERIA XA2 Ultra has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 630 processor with 4GB of memory and features 32GB or 64GB of internal storage. XA2 Ultra has no problems with everyday use. Although we are pushing through it through many multiplayer and mobile games, there is almost no sign of slowing down the phone. Asphalt 8 has grown only slightly here and there, and Meereshorn works smoothly. Most people are happy with the performance of this phone.
Mediocre camera:
Like the camera on most budget phones, the XA2 Ultra requires very good lighting to get the right picture. The 23 megapixel camera is difficult to capture a lot of detail, the photos look flat, there is not much depth, and the colors look a little rough. Generally, the photos do not look clean, and the camera always fights with HDR: if the sky is too bright, the front is too dark, and vice versa. To be honest, we are more impressed with a $ 7 Honor 7X camera. In the lower light, the results are less than ideal. The photos taken in the sun are dark and sub expressed. In general, we are far from taking more photos in these environments. If you want to better manage the camera for different light conditions, you can use professional mode.
Unlike some older Sony devices, the XA2 Ultra has no 960 frames per second (FPS) of ultra-slow motion. If you want to record slow motion, the phone can handle 120 fps and it looks good. The video can be captured at resolutions up to 4K, but when you turn it on, you receive a warning that the temperature of the phone may be rising and the application may be closing.
The most interesting feature of this phone is the front camera, a 16-megapixel dual-sensor camera and an 8-megapixel wide-angle sensor. You might think that the two sensors work together to create effects like the portrait in self-portrait - they do not. Instead, the phone uses the main camera for a standard selfie, but you can switch to another camera to get a 120-degree wide-angle lens for the group selfie. We hope these two presets can be made more interesting, but the group self-timer mode is definitely useful when you need it.
Software:
The XPERIA XA2 Ultra runs on Android 8.0 Oreo, but is plastered with a Sony Android skin. It does not look as clean or minimal as Android in stock, but there is certainly nothing wrong with it. What we do not like though is the amount of bloatware pre installed on this phone. Not only does it add to the confusion, it also takes up a lot of storage space. In the 32 GB available on our phone, thanks to all the bloated goods, we can only use about 19 GB. For example, there is an included FM radio app that lets you listen to the radio. If you're an avid PlayStation player, the PlayStation app can be useful to you.
Battery life:
Maybe the best thing about this phone is the battery life. The battery has a capacity of 3,580 mAh. Even if it is used relatively, we end the whole day and the remaining battery capacity is at least 20%. We answered the call from the charger at 9 and 19 o'clock. The phone still has about 41% of its power. This is used extensively during the day, including surfing the internet, listening to music, watching videos, and playing games. That's better than some flagship phones, and it should not be a problem every day. The battery also charges very fast thanks to Qualcomm's Quick Charge 3.0 technology. In our tests we were able to get 50% charge when charging for more than 35 minutes.
