I purchased this in 2018, still works like it's new. I have an issue with the RAM though with those social media apps' updates - they need at least 8GB nowadays, but any other app has no issue.

    In 2024, I bought several XA2 Ultras on the auction website.
    The average purchase price is about 40USD.
    Replaced the battery with a new one myself.
    The screen is very large and suitable for elders to use.
    The 16:9 ratio is also great for watching Youtube
    Support VOLTE.
    There are almost no other problems in use.
    The price/performance ratio is very high.
    For a mobile phone that is over 5 years old, I think its durability is quite high.
    During the same period, I had an XZP (the board could not be charged)
    U11+ (4G & wifi are disabled at the same time and cannot be used)

      Im a fan of japan! So of course sony smartphone is one of my no1 choice! Sony is the "future", back to 2013 they're the first to introduce the "ultra" in the smartphone industries... nowday its seems like many of the smartphone with their "ultra" just copy its from sony...btw i hope sony can continue their sony xperia ultra as soon as posible...i swear i'll buy it!!!

        thevalintino, 16 Mar 2024would you know if this phone is any good in 2024I just got this phone. It's very good. I'd still recommend 10/10. Good battery life after 6 years, and performance is still okay.

                  I have been using this phone since 2018 till today. I love it very much. SONY always makes the best products in the market compared to all other brands. I love SONY sine I was a kid, it's like a legacy in our family passed on.

                    Coming back to this phone in 2023, I only noticed the AOSP Open Device program for several Sony phones*. It turns out that Sony rolls out Android 11.0 binaries for this phone. If you think about it, Sony can officially roll out a third OS update to this phone. I don't mind this AOSP program thing since I used to flash custom ROMs, but most average consumers don't do that kind of thing.

                      Well, been buying Sony Products since HS= I'm 52 now. They always make quality stuff, that's for sure. If you weigh what you get/ compare it to a 1k priced phone, it's a home run. It's the best in class for phones in its price range- no competition. I bought it for the camera, mostly, as I'm not much of a phone guy/ I'm a laptop person. I've had one for about 4+ years now= LOVE IT. The pic's are spectacular, not sure what the 1 person who didn't like them was talking about/ these are as good or better than any camera I've owned by Sony. It's stylish looking, fast- though I don't play games on mine, thin, tough (It's survived numerous drops w/ a normal protector), and with the expansion slot= you can have 128GB's, which leaves me room for my whole music collection AND a healthy amount of vid's. Now, my only complaint on the phone ever- though the vid quality is generally good, sometimes it can be a little meh. But, it's not a camcorder nor do I expect it to replace a more dedicated video recorder. Also, I have an Action Cam and it usually out preforms it. This phone is SO Good, the newer models simply don't match it and are way more expensive. I will keep buying this phone for as long as the batteries still work, eventually they will have to sell them refurbished with new batteries as the 4 year models, brand new, will have some permanent battery depletion just from their age. (It's why I had to buy a new phone, my first (EVO) simply didn't get battery's made for it that held a charge anymore, as I had it for a decade. Oh, I'm not a 'New Phone Every Year' idiot. You buy new electronics when what you have is no longer sufficient or what replaces it so overwhelms it. That's not something that happens every year but more like every decade. LONG LIVE SONY.

                          Anonymous, 18 Apr 2021Not satisfied with the cam especially it came from Sony.Using this phone till now.. But am disappointed in the camera 📸 especially when it comes from Sony.. We know Sony to be good at camera qualities even at making cameras but this particular one is not good at all for this phone.. I got this phone because of the name I heard.. "ultra". I was thinking it will be a competitor to Samsung ultra.. But this isn't it..

                            Got this phone March 2018, started "dying" on me end of 2021 because the main camera wouldn't turn on sometimes (We had to scan QR codes when entering a shop and etc. that was made mandatory for COVID-19 tracking and alerts). I bought a new phone end of last year but this phone is still alive but the battery is starting to fail on me (I can feel that it has expanded). Will probably want to invest in a battery replacement just so I can keep it as a spare. It's a really durable but heavy phone. Probably the most lasting phone I've had thus far.

                              This is my phone until now, Sony is really reliable in terms of durability. Sad I can't find store of Sony here anymore in UAE..

                                - 4G signal receptions isn't great so I'm always keeping it on 2G/3G mode (4G wastes battery as result of low signal)
                                - for some reason, NFC doesn't work on my device (never used it before); wanted to try Google Pay, but it doesn't work
                                - FM radio doesn't work correctly; if there's even little interference, it stops for 5 seconds and then continues; this was reported numerous times to Sony and they never bothered to fix it

Pretty good as a mid-ranger. My only problem is the GPS, I always lost the signal while driving and makes it difficult to navigate using Waze or Google Map. Camera quality is ok, but I expected more from Sony. The best thing is the durability and battery can last you a whole day.

                                    I have one, and I have constant GPS issues with it loosing GPS signal while I'm driving even outside of a case near the windshield.
                                    My camera app some times hangs, and it will some times hang other apps that request camera access. It feels more like a time-out problem, like the camera has to wake up, it takes a moment but then functionality restores.
                                    I love this phone!
