Sony Xperia XA2 Ultra vs XA1 Ultra: What's changed?

[@eepy_bibi]

Recombu is probably the only channel right now that features further information about the XA2 Ultra.

[@hapagram]

I love Sony!! Typing this on my XA1 Ultra!!

[@Yeetyboi-vn3qf]

Yay another user

[@js.randomedits_]

Same

Mines been rock solid for over a year now!

[@Pwilly1984]

Watching this video and typing this response from my xperia xa2 ultra. Its been a great phone for me over the past 18 or so months. Getting ready to switch over next month to the Razer Phone 2 since you get top flagship specs(2018), 120hz QHD screen, dual Dolby speakers, ip67 ratings and its only $399 currently on Amazon and razers website

[@BadLuckGino]

I'm 8 months late to the party but I'm watching this video on my brand new Sony Xperia XA2 Ultra which I just bought 2 days ago and I love it so much. I'm a fan of the boxy build and I prefer the 16:9 aspect ratio over the 18:9. I am sad that the XA2 Ultra will be the last phone that Sony will use this design for.

[@Pwilly1984]

Very late to this party but I am also using the xa2 ultra and had it for roughly 18 months. I to still prefer the 16:9 over the skinny 18:9 and worse 19.5:9. I'm actually going to be switching to the Razer phone 2. Its tailored to gaming but still functions as a regular flagship phone and its a 5.72" screen with dual front firing Dolby speakers and 2018 flagship specs(snapdragon 845 and 630gpu, 4000mAh battery, quick charge 4+, 1440p screen and the best part its still using the 16:9 ratio!) And its currently $399 on Amazon and razers website. Great deal for flagship spec phone and a very nice upgrade over the xperia xa2 ultra

[@berezun]

Recently replaced XA1 ultra by Samsung A50 and after one week I want to get back my Sony. XA1 ultra has wide display that is why I have difficulties with typing text in A50, also bigger display in Samsung isn't bigger if it comes to watch movies, besides it navigation in A50 does not work properly.

[@Maikeru_Dabittsu]

The camera you are using makes these screens look dull compared to how they look in person

[@nssauth9605]

Maikeru Dabittsu we can't even see the difference of those phone . That coloure was blAck . And dark ,no light

[@NBMSCH]

the first thing i noticed is that the xa2 ultra has a deeper black and sharper screen and better details.

[@kevbuenaventura9425]

Yep it's true.

[@delphimindgames]

XA2 screen definitely looks better than the XA1. Thx for the comparison.

[@LetsBringThePain]

they should have made a similar bezels reduction in XA2 Ultra as in the regular XA2, because XA2 in comparison to last years XA1 gained 4% SBR(screen to body ratio) and now in that area it is comparable to Samsung Galaxy A8 2018 and Honor 9 Lite, so people can not cry about the bezels and just in general that phone looks more up-to-date when it has a bigger screen and it is shorter than XA1, but XA2 Ultra gained practically nothing in SBR in comparison to XA1 and you can see that, so it looks like an old experia... Sony was lazy when it comes to XA2 Ultra's design

[@Ella.Donn.Official]

So if I was looking to replace my sony experia xa1 with the xa2 you would say it's not worth the money?

[@markluisbasas4148]

@@Ella.Donn.Official it's kinda late if you're going to get xa2, just wait for xa3

[@qazifaisal5]

there is a huge price difference now as of today and at $190 i will have to go with the XA1 ultra as i didnt see anything worth paying almost double for.

[@palpatine1975]

Can you do a side by side comparison between Sony Xperia xa 2 ultra vs the Nokia 7 plus..?

[@p7272]

You say it's not the brightness screen, but I noticed that you have Adaptive Brightness turned on for both phones... I'll be going to look at a open box XA2 Ultra tomorrow. Having them side by side really helped me make my decision. Thanks bro.

[@dominicclarkgolf4924]

Does the XA2 Ultra have nfc? it looks great for me I need a new phablet.👍

[@AKK5I]

Dominic Clark yes

[@komatsusakura]

yes

[@justarandomhandlewithnomeaning]

yes

[@RogerWittekind]

After using both of them I can tell you a difference that you missed. Even though both have two microphones only the XA2 Ultra uses the two microphones as stereo microphones.

[@muzzamilahmad6244]

Xa1 ultra is not so bad as it is look so bad in this video Sorry for bad english

[@danaeflamouridou1756]

Muzzamil Ahmad i agree my friend! Xa1 it's also a dynamic phone even xa2 is newest.

[@cestjolie5574]

Agreed witchu lol. Both of the phones are the bombs but I think Sonny Xperia XA1 Ultra is way longer than Sonny Xperia XA2 ultra so what a shame🙄🙄🙄🙄🤦🏿‍♀️🤦🏿‍♀️🤦🏿‍♀️🤦🏿‍♀️🤦🏿‍♀️🤦🏿‍♀️. Ain't know why they didn't make it the same size as the 1st one🙄🙄🙄🙄🤦🏿‍♀️🤦🏿‍♀️🤦🏿‍♀️🤦🏿‍♀️🤦🏿‍♀️.

[@lazarljubisavljevic5180]

What’s like the RAM managment on both phones? Is it better on new model or worse?

[@photorocket4550]

I wish you would have reviewed the audio between the two I still use the original XA Ultra. That one has a down-firing speaker the xa1 ultra has a front firing speaker and the xa2 ultra went back to a down-firing speaker. I appreciate your video comparing the two models, it would have been nice to have a comparison between both speakers.

[@marcseanhernandez5885]

Great review very detailed overall...✔🙏😇

[@BigbirdJohnson]

Does anyone know when the XA2 and XA2 ultra will be available in the U.S. for purchase?

[@paragodful]

Bigbird Johnson Feb, 16

[@cestjolie5574]

Lol, or u can just ORDER it. I ain't think these phones are bein sold in stores of USA etc except the Asian stores. I just bought mine from where it was made from lol in Asia n I can tell u how beautiful it is.

[@TheRicardo28]

I would like to know if the quality of sound is very good with Bluetooth headphones? I am very interested to buy this new Xperia smartphone to substitute my old Xperia Z for an alternative smartphone.

[@christyanu]

*I didn't like at all digital reader to be behind. Sony should not abandon side digital reader never.*

[@jedijames5982]

Does anyone know where to get a XA2 Ultra contract? As of 3rd March I can't find much info on where to get it in the UK.

[@pichanliwag9132]

please change the background of the screen so i can see the changes on SBR on xa2 ultra...

[@karo3529]

The weather info on both phones are not exactly the same, despite being in the exact same location.

[@Fred-F4]

MediaTek garbage (XA 1 ultra) vs Qualcomm processor (XA 2 ultra), that's the real difference

[@SKYLARK163]

Does anyone know if the XA2 Ultra has "screen mirroring" built in? I want to watch youtube on my smart tv but tv doesnt have miracast or googlecast fitted. Its not so smart! Thanks

[@youssefaboudrar2212]

Is it worth it to buy a xa1 ultra right now?

[@tvrrp]

Does it has steady shot intelligent auto?

[@rank2996]

Excuse me, I have an XA1 ultra and screen colour doesn't look like that, you definitely fiddled with the screen settings and the XA1 ultra does not have a plastic look or a bare look to it but each to their own with that but the screen is definitely not it looks like in the video.

[@GoddardEmpire]

Why does the XA1 screen look so green 🤨

[@justarandomhandlewithnomeaning]

he set the white balance really high

[@HSNG10]

Recombu, you have good reviews but lay off the colour grading! We want true to life colours shown, not colour graded for the ever so popular nowadays "cinematic" look, which I totally do not get at all for a review video.

[@hengsovandara7031]

what did you do with the xa1 ultra screen?

I'm trying to decide between the XA2 Ultra and the Mate 9, both going for the same price right now...

[@yousefmansour2556]

I, m Sony lover n super fans especially the design💓 Mate 9 is older with android 7 now.but it,s a flagship. Camera n all specs are better

you know what i hate about phones now a days THE FUCKING BLOATWARE WHY GIVE YOUR PHONE A GOD DAMN LARGE STORAGE BUT HAVE 30% OF IT BE BLOATWARE

[@n.i.5381]

XA2 has an aluminum back, not polycarbonate.

[@tapsiikohii7373]

there is no way the stock XA1 screen is that yellow nephew. this is sketchy at best.

Shut up jack ass

[@MrCaddilacchris]

I got the xa2, it sucks no memory if you use a SD card still no memory bc you can't transfer any apps only music pics and video. You can not remote play on ps4 it is not supported on all other xperia phones it is but if u go to a xa1 you don't got the power if you go to a xz premium the screen is smaller and lacks other things the xa2 has but it has memory remote play 4k everything xa2 is 1080p plays will play 4k upscale the pictures suck not a very bright phone compared to a note 4 I have this phone bc of screen size and its cheap 400 new for a upgraded hardware phone but lacks in alot of places. The only way to get a screen as big for remote play is the xz2 ultra premium it has everything but it's 900 and it is still smaller at 5.7 compared to the 6 inch even xz premium may have all the goodies it is at a 5.5 display and is noticeably smaller. Why can't I get a phone the same size if not bigger then a note 4 1 phone that has it all not 1 or 2 things then have to sacrifice something you want for something else they all should have. Like all the phone short people on tech options camera mp memory 1 phone has some things the other phone has the things the other doesn't and not being able to use a SD card on anything on some 32gig have 12,gig after boot up put same games on no pics no video or 4k video not alot of apps then bam 5gig left 128,gig on SD card that I can only use for pics wtf dude on a note 4 I could at least put some apps on the dam thing!!!!

[@MrCaddilacchris]

I'd honestly be happy if the xa2 ultra supported remote play and had 64g memory or found one with 64g but I'm pretty sure the ultra only has 32..

[@user-nb8qu5vp3z]

Digan lo k digan lo sony son. Los mejores

[@mikldude9376]

Both displays look a tad dull , but the xa1 looks terrible .

[@SuperFam12345]

Pretty sure I’m going for last years XA1 due to not any massive changes. Shame.

[@RogerWittekind]

Gaming and Console Tech I did that. I bought the XA1 Ultra for $179 at Bestbuy but then I realized I had to have 4K video so I bought the XA2 Ultra. And the XA2 Ultra can do something else the XA1 Ultra cannot. The XA2 Ultra records videos with left and right microphones where there is no separation of the microphones on the XA1 Ultra.

[@SuperFam12345]

Roger Wittekind I ended up getting the XZ PREMIUM due to the a screen issue on my XA1 Ultra... I love the XZ PREMIUM.

[@RogerWittekind]

Gaming and Console Tech I have a video about showing off the 4K screen on an XZ Premium that you might be interested in at: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i4eppHuCec2de6s
