What the critics say (scores are out of 100)

Android Headlines | Nick Sutrich

Solid build, solid experience, less money. Mid-range at its peak. Xperia XA2 Ultra is the best deal in the UK, packing in some incredible specs and experience for the price.

Recombu | Chris Barraclough

Sony's Xperia XA2 Ultra offers two main advantages over the standard XA2. The first is that more spacious screen, the second is that updated dual selfie cam. Of course, if you're not bothered about either of those features and simply want a great all-round mid-range mobile, we'd point you at the standard Xperia XA2.

TechAeris | Jason Bouwmeester

The Sony Xperia XA2 Ultra is a decent mid-range device which should easily cover the bases for those who stick with the basics of smartphone use.

Android Authority | Lanh Nguyen

Sony is taking a step in the right direction with the XA2 Ultra by updating to a more modern design, slimming down the bezels, and bringing fingerprint sensor support to the U.S. However, for a midrange phone the price is not as competitive as it should be, which could turn potential buyers away.

NotebookCheck | Florian Wimmer

The Sony Xperia XA2 Ultra may not be the most fashionable device out there and it certainly isn't the most affordable one either, but its total package turned out to be quite impressive.

TechRadar | John McCann

A huge screen, great battery life and a price tag that's around half of that of flagship phones makes the Sony Xperia XA2 Ultra top buy for those after an affordable phablet.

Stuff | Tom Morgan

If big screen selfies are your thing, the Xperia XA2 Ultra delivers, but that niche won't be to all tastes.

Trusted Reviews | Andrew Williams

A great option for those who find normal big-screen phones just aren't big enough.

Expert Reviews | Edward Munn

There's little you can fault with the XA2 Ultra. The Sony Xperia XA2 Ultra is a big-screened monster of a device, and arguably Sony's best phone in years

Alphr | Jonathan Bray

The Sony Xperia XA2 Ultra is the best phone Sony has produced in years; it's big, yes, but you get a lot of phone for your money. In fact, there's very little to complain about with the XA2 Ultra. It might be oversized but, depending on your outlook, the size could actually be seen as a positive thing.

phoneArena | Peter Kostadinov

The Xperia XA2 and XA2 Ultra offer good value for their money, and despite the few minor issues here and there. Would I use any of these as a personal device? Yes, though I'd probably go for the XA2 as the larger XA2 Ultra doesn't really have enough exclusive features to win me over. If you're into selfies, however, the larger XA2 Ultra would be the one to go with.

Mobile Syrup | Dean Daley

With all of these 18:9 aspect ratio mid-range smartphones entering the race to be best mid-range handset out there, the Xperia XA2 Ultra doesn't seem like it fits in.

AndroidPit | Camila Rinaldi

This smartphone is designed for those who really want to take all the potential that a front camera can offer, as well as quality audio. But if you want a big screen for a good gaming experience, the quality of the XA Ultra graphics does not help.

Digital Trends | Christian de Looper

The Sony Xperia XA2 Ultra is a decent phone that can't fight off its cut-rate competitors.

Tom's Guide | Adam Ismail

An incredibly bright screen and Android Oreo aren't enough to make Sony's bulky midrange phone worth its steep price tag.

Phone Scoop | Eric M. Zeman

The XA2 Ultra may powerful, but it is ultra-big, ultra-dated, and ultra-unappealing.

How HandsetExpert Works: We don't run ads on the site, or charge users to use the site. The site is funded using commission links, where we may receive a commission if a phone or tariff is purchased via HandsetExpert. Our editorial, phone scoring and recommendation system and deal-finding algorithms are not affected by this; we are fiercely committed to providing unbiased, independent information.

Important notes

  • We aim to compare as many tariffs in the marketplace from the UK as possible. However, we do not include every package (e.g. legacy tariffs no longer available, or tariffs only available to existing/specific customers), nor do we detail every aspect of every tariff (e.g. international out of bundle rates, on-network minutes, etc).
  • SIM Only deals do not include plans shorter than 30 days or Pay As You Go rates.
  • We work really hard to get accurate prices from as many providers as possible, but some deals or providers may not be included; if there’s anything we’ve missed then please get in touch and let us know.
  • Whenever we can, we will let you know if a deal is time limited (such as a flash deal), and when the deal expires.
  • For tariffs which offer "unlimited" allowances, there may be times where traffic management or fair usage policies apply.
  • Additional charges for payment methods other than direct debit and for itemised/paper billing may apply.
  • Data only SIM cards, mobile broadband packages, and pay monthly tablets are currently not included in the comparison.
  • Out of bundle charges are not included in the calculation of Average Monthly Cost.
  • Contracts may not be available for some phone models in all colours and/or sizes, and a small number may only be available either as a pay monthly contract or a contract free handset, but not both.
  • Providers may increase the cost of your contract by RPI (inflation). However, if prices are increased that then cause a materially detrimental impact, you have the right to exit your contract without penalty. More details available from Ofcom plus comparative information on customer service and complaints handling & their guide on how to complain.
  • Ofcom runs a voluntary accreditation scheme for digital comparison tools (DCTs) for telephone, broadband and pay-TV, and has confirmed that this DCT meets the criteria for accreditation. For further details about the scheme, including the criteria that DCTs must meet, visit the price comparison page on the Ofcom website.
