What the critics say (scores are out of 100)

Alphr | Alan Martin

Still, for me personally, the Xperia XA2 is an excellent smartphone and it's seriously made me consider Sony when my contract expires in four months' time. Well done, Sony.

Recombu | Chris Barraclough

As much as I loved the Xperia XA1, the XA2 is a big upgrade in so many areas. For its price, you won't find many other mobiles that offer the same fantastic all-round experience.

Expert Reviews | Nathan Spendelow

Still, I feel confident in saying that this is one of the best phones Sony has produced for ages. For the price, it looks great, lasts a long time and takes (mostly) great pictures. I look forward to seeing what Sony unveils next.

NotebookCheck | Manuel Masiero

The Sony Xperia XA2 is a very solid mid-range smartphone. However, it does not bring a real "killer feature" to distinguish it from the competition.

Stuff | Tom Morgan

Sony steps things up in the mid-range. Probably the best mid-ranger Sony has made in a while, the XA2 might not mix up the traditional Xperia look but it has hardware that ticks almost all the boxes.

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.

Pickr | Leigh Stark

We've always found Sony's mid-range interesting, with an edge-to-edge display and a version of Android that really stays close to what Google imagines it should be like, but with a slight twist.

Trusted Reviews | Max Parker

It's not the most dynamic phone in its class but a solid option for those who like Sony's style. All that said, if you aren't put off by our criticisms, don't be put off a purchase. This is a perfectly solid, "nice" phone we've enjoyed using.

TechRadar | Andrew Williams

The Sony Xperia XA2 is a solid Android phone at a sensible price, although the design will date quickly and the real-world battery stamina doesn't quite seem to match the spec.

Australian PC World | Fergus Halliday

Like most Sony phones. The Xperia XA2 is a good option but it's not quite the best out there...The XA2 almost feels like what you'd expect from a phone from three or four years ago. It might feel a little dated in spots but if your mobile needs haven't really changed during that time, it's well-enough equipped to do the job.

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.
