The smartphone is very bulky. 174 grams and a 5.5-inch matrix, which occupies about 70% of the front part. At the same time, the device itself is made of plastic, to be fair, of very high quality, which is unlikely to get dirty, does not slip and is generally very pleasant to the touch. The design as a whole is Sonevsky. This is a square brick that can be placed on a table. The backrest is slightly rounded, but using the smartphone with one hand is still inconvenient. The angle presses into the hand, which is not very comfortable. For convenience, a one-handed control mode has been implemented; it doesn’t help the situation much, but it’s still better with it than without it. The smartphone is unlikely to fit into a pocket; it is very thick, almost a centimeter thick. Not suitable for a woman’s hand, although marketers have also thought about the fair half of humanity, there is a model in pink color, as well as black and gold. The device came with a very meager set, only USB cable C and charger in addition to the smartphone. Unfortunately, the memory is not aimed at fast charging, which was very upsetting.

There's not much to talk about here due to the fact that Sony is a stickler for bare-bones Android. The smartphone runs system version 7.1. There is no need to expect any special features. We have already talked about the one-hand control system; it is easily configured using swipes. The device has security implemented using a fingerprint scanner. There are no complaints here, everything works very quickly. There are no frills, just all the most necessary and important functions, fortunately they did not abandon the notification sensor.

Specifications

• CPU

  MediaTek MT6737T (4 x 1.45 GHz)

• Video processor

There is something to criticize the company for here. Compared to the previous smartphone model, nothing has changed in the hardware. They simply took and installed an old processor in the 2018 model - MediaTek MT6737T, which runs on 4 cores up to 1.45 GHz. Strange decision. Video processor Mali-T720 MP2, respectively. It is difficult to say why the processors migrated from the old generation model, and what exactly the company was guided by.

Memory

But there is more built-in memory, now 32 GB on board. Previously there were 16. The RAM is 3 GB, which is quite enough for comfortable work with the device. We also note the absence of a combined slot, but real support for two nanoSim and microSD up to 256 GB. We can thank the company for this.

Connection

We have no complaints about the connection; on the contrary, the smartphone has an advantage over its competitors - the presence NFC chip. The smartphone receives communications a priori well, since the plastic transmits the signal very well. There are some minor complaints about GPS operation, but overall it works well. Well, supporting dual-band Wi-Fi is also worth a lot.

Considering modern market smartphones, you can see that manufacturers very often copy each other, which is why few of them have their own unique style. This cannot be said about Sony, which does not follow anyone, but strives to follow its own path in choosing technical and design solutions, sometimes controversial, but always original.

We received a Sony smartphone for review latest generation, medium sized and medium price segment, which can attract the attention of not only fans of this brand, but also ordinary users.

To begin with, we note that it stands out among the mass of competitors in appearance, and that’s where we’ll start the review.

Appearance and Controls

The main design motifs here were inherited from previous model- XA1.

The first thing that catches your eye about the Sony Xperia XA2 is that it has no rounded corners like most modern smartphones, but sharp, so to speak. This may seem inconvenient, but we like this solution for its originality.

Sony did something quite clever: the right and left edges of the body are rounded and metallic, making the phone very pleasant to hold in your hands. At the same time back cover made of plastic, and the top and bottom surfaces are flat, both of which are simpler from a technological point of view.

The display, in fact, has no frames on the front and back edges, however, the panels at the top and bottom are quite massive, and one can predict that such a design in the future, with the spread of frameless models, may seem archaic.

Despite the record-breaking battery capacity, the smartphone is quite thick, let's hope that this is due to the desire to increase the strength of the phone.

On the right edge, in addition to the volume rocker and the power and lock key, the smartphone has a “branded” camera power and shooting button.

It cannot be called useless, even if this solution migrated from older models and reminds us of the company’s past.

Also, the focus on shooting emphasizes that the front and rear camera are highlighted by design with additional edging, which is why they appear larger than they actually are.

The Sony Xperia XA2 can accommodate two SIM cards, or a SIM card and a memory card. Moreover, both trays are located in the same compartment and can be opened without any “paper clips” or keys. Many thanks to Sony engineers for this.

The smartphone display has a good oleophobic coating, but the back surface is not equipped with it. greasy spots appear on it and are difficult to completely wipe off.

The case of the smartphone in question does not have any water protection.

Fingerprint scanner

The fingerprint scanner on the Sony Xperia XA2 is designed as a separate surface under the camera.

Of course, this solution is not the most elegant from a design point of view, but functionally there are no complaints. Plus, if the sensor breaks, you only need to replace it, not the front button like on more expensive models.

The scanner works quite quickly, but there are not enough stars in the sky: starting the smartphone from standby mode takes approximately 1.5 seconds.

Equipment

Having unpacked the box with the Sony Xperia XA2 smartphone, we will see a charger with a separate USB cable, documentation and a warranty card. No headphones included.

Operating system and software shell

The smartphone uses the operating version Android systems 8.0, with Sony's own shell.

As mentioned, at the bottom of the screen there are navigation buttons that can be removed using the settings.

There is separate menu applications with classic horizontal scrolling, the ability to create folders and custom arrangement of icons.

Curtain quick notifications and screen running applications very similar to native ones on Android.

There is a function for dual display of applications (available, however, not for all programs).

Present in security settings Smart function Lock, which allows you to assign device, face and even voice to unlock.

The interface speed is very good. There are no lags or slowdowns.

The smartphone comes from the factory with pre-installed applications for watching videos, listening to music, antivirus.

Platform and performance

When developing this smartphone, Sony was clearly guided by the principle of reasonable sufficiency in relation to its “stuffing”. The model is not top-end, so the platform based on the mid-price processor Qualcomm Snapdragon 630 looks quite appropriate here, promising sufficient performance in most applications coupled with energy efficiency.

The video chip used is Adreno 508, which has a frequency of 850 MHz, which is 200 MHz more than the Adreno 506. This affects performance in games, and it is this difference that can be felt when comparing the Sony Xperia XA2 with last year's smartphones on Qualcomm Snapdragon 625.

GeekBench 4 test

Antutu program test

Volume RAM 3 Gigabytes may seem small only if you run many “heavy” applications at the same time, which is unlikely to happen in everyday life.

Perhaps weak point Sony Xperia XA2 - volume permanent memory- 32 gigabytes. Here the manufacturer did not provide a choice, and some may find it too small. However, it is possible to install an additional MicroSD memory card.

Display

The screen of the smartphone in question has an average diagonal by today's standards - 5.2 inches with a resolution of 1920X1080. Thus, the “classic” aspect ratio of 16:9 is applied. To be honest, we don’t see this as a particular inconvenience, since most films and videos are shown in this format. Although someone may say: “But the Chinese already have an 18:9 screen for 10 thousand,” we believe that until all video content has adapted to the “elongated” screen, it is too early to consider this a disadvantage.

In our opinion, FullHD is more than enough for this display size; text and pictures look as detailed as possible on it.

When you first turn it on, you may feel like there is not enough color saturation on the screen. The fact is that by default, the settings for increasing saturation and contrast are disabled in the menu.

In addition, like other Sony smartphones, the picture on the display turns cold (this can also be corrected in the settings).

The smartphone has on-screen buttons that disappear when necessary.

The display of the Sony Xperia XA2 stands out for its brightness, despite the fact that it is made LCD technology(rather than OLED), it is easy to read even in bright sunlight, which is a definite advantage.

Battery and autonomy

The battery capacity is 3300 mAh, although, looking at its weight and thickness, one would think that it is 4000. The available volume is quite enough; with inactive use, sometimes half the charge remains by the evening. The model is clearly intended for office and city life, and not for hiking and traveling (this is indicated by appearance and lack of moisture protection), and in normal mode Using this amount of battery is quite enough.

Complete with smartphone goes regular charger. Charger with Quick Charge function must be purchased separately.

Connectors and communication protocols

Processor, display, thickness - all this indicates price category Sony phone Xperia XA2, but what the manufacturer did not skimp on was USB connector- available here modern Type-C, which is of course more convenient than the old Micro USB.

Another advantage of the phone is Bluetooth version 5, which has a range of up to 200 meters and a speed of up to 6.25 MB/s.

The headphone jack is in place; it fits comfortably into the body of this phone.

NFC is present in the phone, which is expected for a modern smartphone.

Camera

Photography

The first thing that catches your eye when considering the characteristics Sony cameras Xperia XA2 has the number of megapixels of the main camera - 23, which is clearly excessive for this size of the module.

The main camera is equipped phase detection autofocus and a single LED flash.

The main camera uses an f/2.0 lens with an equivalent focal length of 24mm. On paper, these are good characteristics for this matrix size, but it is clear that it is simply impossible to achieve ideal optical quality in this format. In good lighting, the detail in the images is quite good.

At the edges, detail decreases due to the fact that the lens design is simplified. However, for modern social networks and this will be quite enough applications.

As soon as the illumination drops, the sensitivity increases and “noise” creeps into the picture - graininess caused by the need to amplify the signal from the image sensor - matrix.

Autofocus speed is not satisfactory, pictures are taken almost instantly. It is possible to specify the focus point on the phone screen.

The front camera has more modest characteristics - 8 megapixels (no more is needed), and the ability to switch between 120 and 80 degree modes.

For selfie lovers, this choice of viewing angle will be very useful.

Sample pictures

Video shooting

Video shooting in this smartphone implemented using separate modes. If you simply switch to video mode from taking photos, the videos will be recorded in FullHD resolution - 1920x1080 30 frames per second. There is also a high-speed shooting mode with a frequency of 120 frames per second and a resolution of 1280x720.

4K mode is rendered as separate application inside the camera app.

Overall, what you expect from a Sony smartphone camera good quality video, and it's here. 4K is real, its video resolution is higher than FullHD, and given the same frame rate, it’s worth using it. The picture in all modes is pleasing to the eye, the compression is reasonable.

Conclusions

Looking at the Sony smartphone we reviewed, you wonder who it is intended for. On the one hand, the strict design in black tells us that it could suit business person, but it's not a flagship, and it has a number of not-so-modern features. On the other hand, the emphasis on selfies tells us that this is a device for the 2010s generation, but why then does it resemble past models and mercilessly exploit Sony's old reputation.

In our opinion, buying a Sony Xperia XA2 is a controversial choice, but everyone decides for themselves.
