LTE F3111 single sim xa has the better battery life I've had my xa F3111 since July last year and it is absolutely faultless. I regularly get 3.5-5hrs screen time from a totally stock xa depending on where I am and what I'm doing and easily get a full days use from the 2300mah battery I've had zero problems with my xa I think they are a very underrated device.

The dual sim variant F3112 is exactly the same as single sim F3111, if you don't use the second sim the icon will be hidden.
The only small advantage is that I have it too and my releases are for it in first and tested before if you want to root it and maybe change the Rom if I release one in the future.
Should I also buy it?
I also wish to buy it, are there any concerns? Anything obvious I should be worried about? I am fed up of my LG G4 and it's problems and feel that flagships are not worth it. I can get the XA for a good price and it'll be good to return to Sony (check my sig, I once was a Sony fanboy! )

I bought it and have been using it for a day, so far so good, only downside is the battery life. Battery drains fast, sort of what you'd see on a high end device, I can imagine the newer version lasting even less than the original considering the newer SoC, increased RAM, better camera...
It is good to be back with Sony, the last device I had was the SP, there is something quite reminiscent about the XA.

Go to settings location tap the three dots top right then turn both sliders to the off position as in mm WiFi and Bluetooth are always scanning in the background for google even if they are both turned off. Then install greenify and enable the aggressive doze and doze on the go via adb feature(full instructions in the greenify app). I'd get another in a heartbeat and will certainly be looking at the xa1

Thanks for the tips. It is a beautiful device, Sony's devices are just unparalleled in terms of design. Tbh they should've given it more juice, 2300 is nothing, atleast 2800 or 3000.

I currently have xa dual F3116.i think it's worth the money i paid for it.xp xa is a value for money phone.Some what nice quality of screen anf great clarity.pretty basic camera specially the front camera is probably the best i've ever come across fast and good selfie.my concern is about battery.battery is kind of sad.xa eats bsttery like hummer.slimmer and sacrifice battery! but quick charging 100% in less than 2h.unfortunately xp xa doesn't have fingerprint scanner!
Overal xa is a good phone with fair price.

i'm and Xperia Z owner i have had it since 2,5 years and one month ago i lost it due to water damage "somehow"
i sent it to the service center and they told me after 3 weeks of checking that the water got inside the phone and damaged the motherboard of it and it will take almost the same price as a new phone to fix it .
so now i have to buy a new phone unfortunately...
the Xperia Z was such a great phone for me all was great (except the low voice ) and now i'm in dilemma shall i go for Sony again or shall i change ? i'm disappointed of the new versions of sony Z3 Z3+ they have no such differences of the Z2 however the Z3+ has less flaps so more comfortable to use and less damageable i hate Samsung tho they have a great S6 edge but hell no for the touchwiz maybe Htc m9 ?
what do you think guys any experiences you want to share with me ?
Wait for the z5 if possible
OnePlus Two ?
I've owned moto, HTC, Samsung, nexus and now Sony and I have to say that I'm most impressed by my z3. for my next phone it would be Sony, nexus or moto - I would pick based on my key features from these three.

Heay Guys!
Do you think the normal Xperia XZ will be on the same Updating Plan as the 2 new Flagships ?
I originally bought the Phone because I wanted to have a longtime support and Sony announced that it will be the only flagship for one year (Well apparently not :S).
Also I would be interested if guys think that the new Design on the 2 new Phones will be coming to the XZ (I think they will probably port it since they all share the same name).
Sorry for my poor English

Imho,
The XZs is like the original xz with an additional gigabyte of RAM and some fancy camera tactics
The xz premium is a larger xz with slightly larger battery ( smaller than z5 premium "3400mAh")
With fancy camera optics
If you have the XZ stay with it, I am pretty confident the original XZ will get the same level of support too
Yep everything is the same, body , screen, battery, front camera, same Cpu
Only from 3 GB ram to 4 GB ram now.
And a new camera , let's see how it is.
Sony should use the 821 Cpu , and still for the flapship NO flash for the front camera? ... also no irda.... or maybe Radio = ( but this is to much )
I'm waiting for September to see what they give us
Sony honestly needs to get away from these 6 month cycles they've been doing. I think they'd honestly sell more phones.

I think the same, also Im using Sony since the Z1 and I really feel ripped of with updates, Samsung and Co sent updates for probably 2 years maybe more or less.
But Sony only sents like 6 months - 1 year since they released a new phones anyways. If they would release one every year (flagship level) they would release more updates.
I really hope they wait till September with the release and add the xz (normal) to the update line :S If not I probably switch my main brand to something else
Yeah, four months after buying Sony's flagship XZ they announce *two* better phones! Even the new midrange XA gets 4GB of RAM. That's just shoddy, especially when everyone said that the XZ had insufficient RAM for a late 2016 flagship. At least with Apple and Samsung your flagship phone stays that way for a whole year.
The Xperia XZ is now obsolete.
I really want to buy the Xperia XZ Premium! When will it be available?
Free ram is wasted ram
Everyone knows that on xda

Anyone know if the slow motion effects and appz from xperia XZ premium can be added on a XZ ? also do they share same camera sensor ?
Sony XZ/XZs/XZP is the same family which gives you the hint like the Z5 family, plus XZ/XZs share the same SD820.
In a way this a good thing for XZ it means it should get 2 major updates still, to 9.0.
I dont really care about the new camera too much in the XZs and XZP but the XZ should of also come with 4gb ram, thats my only complain.

I know there are similar threads about this but none answers my questions. Please help.
-What I know:
Full HD 5.2 inches vs Ultra HD 5.5 inches and battery a little bit bigger.
-What I want to know:
Which one will last longer without recharging, under the same usage?
Which one has more support by the XDA community? (apps, ROMs, tweaks, guides, etc)
Does any of them have a greater chance than the other of coming hardware problems?
-My focus here is a phone with a good amount of RAM (3GB+), waterproof, front stereo speakers and official support of at least Android Nougat.
Do you know any other phones that can meet these requirements?

Maybe if you live in a realy hot country, i had no issues here in Sweden.
And i suppose now with android 7 the heating problems will be solved for most users but with a cost of lower cpu frequancy.
But if you like to a phone with official support and upgrades you should stay away from z5, i think we might get 1-2 more upgrades.

In my opinion, wait for XZ Premium, sir. You better check it out.

In my opinion,if you have to choose from z5 and z5p and you live snow country,the answer is z5p.
Z5p got 4k display, the back glass you gonna love it.
Same problem is S810 is suck,(the temperature will keep your hand warm,so you don't need to worry about how to survive in the winter)
The 4k not always.
Dude,MWC2017 ready to end.so XZP is will long?
Take the your time.
Thanks everyone. I'll look up XZ series.

according to the replies I GOT in this post

but remember as of now, everyone is comparing 18months of HANDS ON Experiance + various Updates of Z5P with a device yet to be welcomed by our hands

well,if some people don't have a lot of money,then Z5P still work it.
both 4K,maybe camera not better than XZP(at least Z5P don't have 1/960 ),battery...it maybe an issue.....but Z5P still good phone.
anyway.if you will expect you will get enought money to buy XZP ,then go get it.
but if you not?
pls spend your money for your life,you life more important your phone.

point well taken from the economic view! xperias are expensive but all flagship phones are expensive! and top of that any flagship fone of any brand running on android at any given time is always cheaper than iphone (in both price and fair trade) and still they are selling their phones all over the world way more than xperias...
i own z5p and trust me its beauty in your hands! and now since its almost 18 months of its release. you will find it way cheaper than before!
battery life of android N on z5p is not very good! but you keep your z5p on last android 6.0.1 build .305 (Dec2016). it works amazing!

Yes.Z5P its beauty! No doubt with that.that even since it came out to now,i never change my mind.
What I try to say is could wait.after XZP on the market,the people get the chance to know it.bad or not,we will get a answer.at the same time is Z5P can use more low price to get it.
XZP or Z5P? You will know.good thing worth to wait.
And I am using Z5 dual gold(E6683).i am still waiting sony give me 7.0!!!
I was wondering if its worthy for me to upgrade to the XZ Premium. Im currently using a Z2 with a permanently locked bootloader in other words I cant unlock it. I do have ExistenZ rom installed which is nice. Im just wondering is it worth spending the extra to go from a Z2 to an XZ Premium? Its only really software interface changes that I will use the most but is that very worthy alongside the hardware upgrades? Or am I better off saving the money and continuing with my Z2? The Z2 was one of the best Xperias for a long time and still can be said to be but im unsure whether its worthy to upgrade now.
All help on this decision will be appreciated. Thanks.
I upgraded from the Z2 to the Z5C. Mainly for the fingerprint support and the (supposedly) better processor. Only 10 months in to my Z5C, I decided to upgrade to the XZ Premium. Support for the Z2 ended back in 2015(?). so yes, I do recommend upgrading to the XZ Premium. I usually upgrade phones every 2 years, so the XZP will have to do me good for the time being. I'm happy with the phone and I love it!
I did consider other options like the Samsung S8, but after comparing the two (borrowed one from my friend), I settled on the XZP. Plus, it's faster than the s8.

Thank you for the decision. Its only price thats an issue for me the XZ Premium in the UK is around £500 ($650) cheapest so I want sure if it was worth the money but it seems youve sort of answered that. I will always upgrade to another Sony phone because I always have and although other phones are great I like having all Sony things as you may tell from my signature. I will consider the purchase the only thing that will stop me is the price but other than that it seems a viable option I may very well go for. Thanks.
Edit: Theres also the possibility I purchase one with a permanently locked bootloader like my Z2 so I should take that into consideration too otherwise no root unlike older Xperias where root could be done on locked bootloader.

Where did you purchase your Z2? I'm pretty sure the units on Amazon have an unlockable bootloader. I suggest you purchase one from there? Or if you prefer going to the store, I guess you can check if the demo phones have unlockable bootloaders.

I purchased it from Gumtree because money was also an issue then. I managed to get it for £220 in Feb 2015. The seller got it from Vodafone and I had to unlock the sim as Iam on another network which is why the bootloader is locked. On amazon the XZ premium is £610 but ive found one on eBay for £500 that says its from Amazon. There are cheaper dual variants on eBay but I dont think theyre UK models. It seems if the phone is purchased from EE or o2 in the UK then it will have a locked bootloader so I think I shouldnt have too much trouble. Thanks.
Hi, I bought it 4 days ago, my previous phone is Z2. I realy like XZ Premium. Also i will upload on my YouTube channel comparison between this two phones.

I cant unlock my bootloader sadly so I cant oc which gives me more a reason to get an XZ Premium. Sounds like its a worthy upgrade though thanks for all the responses.

I just ordered an XZ Premium now that I should recieve by the 6-8th September I will still keep my Z2 as a spare. I managed to snag it for £500 it retails for around £600 in the UK so I think I got a good deal and its new too. Hopefully it was worth waiting for a cheaper price to drop. Im sure I will be satisfied with the purchase also in the future when Sony drops support for it there will be more support for it on XDA.
Xpiera z2 was the best sony phone until XZ premium - so if you need a change, its the best moment.

Yeah I think ive made a good choice. Even the XZ was decent but its annoying how Sony release a new phone every 6 months. The XZ1 is the first Sony phone to actually be a bit of a downgrade to that of the previous flagship as its basically an XZ Premium with a 1080p display. Thats as far as im aware ive never seen Sony release a device like this before also if my purchase is legitimate then I will have snagged a bargain too.
One other thing I would like to know though is that does anyone run the device at native 4k all the time? If so is it worth doing and is there much of a difference? I read through the 4k thread but it seems to be mixed. Nobody really says its worth doing or not its kind of mixed. Also I dont really care if it affects battery life as long as its a worthy benefit.

I tried it for a bit and I don't think it's worth it.
Sure text looks smooth as a kindle but it makes the phone stutter every now and then.
It also causes some compatibility issues which seem far too inconvenient without a way to switch resolution on the go.
When I do want to use it (during VR), I'll just switch it then switch back.

Wow this is great! Even by watching this on my Xperia Z2 it looks pretty nice and life like. I would watch it on a 4K TV/monitor but it looks good enough at 1080p on my Xperia Z2 screen. I can only imagine how good it would look on an actual 4K screen though I am tempted to have a look. The colours shown really show how vibrant they are and the auto focus is so much more superior to that of my Z2 just the fact it can focus that close. I cant wait to recieve it I just got confirmation and a tracking number that I should recieve it by Tuesday. Joke is this phone has a better screen than my 4K bravia as Sony dont wanna support HDR for it.
One thing I would like to know. Does the phone still record 120fps at 720p using timeshift video if its still called that or does is the resolution bumped up for 120fps since it supports upto 960fps? Just wondering because with the 960fps you cant pick where you want the slow motion and 720p only looks so good, would be beneficial if its 1080p over 720p and would only make sense since it can record up to a high framerate. Please let me know, thanks.

Does the top one work like timeshift video? Also I was wondering if the resolution is the same for all or different for 120fps. Thanks.

1. For me, yes. I just purchased my second xz premium 2 months back and am extremely happy with it still. Even though it will not receive further official updates past android 9.
2. Not really, make sure the volume up and down work easily, and the speakers are not crackling. And turn it on and off to see if there is a message saying the bootloader is unlocked. If there is, offer a couple of bucks less. (Bear in mind, docomo branded and possibly others are not able to be unlocked)
3. If it has a locked bootloader still (and you no doubt want to unlock it ), there is a method to backup your .TA keys before unlocking, and restore them afterwards.
4. Xperifirm is 100% trustworthy, 1000's will agree. (What is automode?)
5. Nothing to worry about with twrp, everything works as expected.
Treble... Not so much. The XZ Premium does not have native treble. As it was released with nougat, it wasnt a requirement. There is a treble mod in the threads, but its definitely not daily driver material.

Xperifix is also trustworthy, but exclusive to Oreo.
On android pie, the camera works normally, the green camera issue that xperifix fixed is no longer a problem.
As for the price im not sure, if it helps i bought a new one in the box from ebay for 420 australian dollars, and can pick up a decent second hand unit for 200 to 300 Australian.
1. Is it still good in 2019?
Yes, and if you're not a gamer, it is pretty easy for you to use this device until 5G is really a thing. Although 4GB RAM is not great even in 2016's standard, 835 is still a powerful chip and somebody informed me that there *are* certain people that modified their maple and installed more RAM.
2. Any specific problem thats common on Used/New Devices (Like the Nexus 5X Manufacturing Problem etc.)
The screen of this device is easily aged and sometimes will be damaged, so please double check before you make your purchase and DO NOT BUY ANY JAPAN CUSTOMIZED PHONE.
Oh and one more thing, unlocking this device can cause lose on some camera features. Please make sure that you have backed up your TA before you unlock. Instructions on how to do so can be found on XDA.
3. Any must have tips/things todo right after getting the device?
Unlock and flash TWRP+Magisk.
Personally I don't like all third party builds that can be found online so maybe I'll build one myself when time is right. As for now, I'm OK with stock ROM rooted.
4. Can i trust Xperfirm and is the Auto Mode Officially Supported.
Yes but I haven't been using Xperfirm for long so my opinion on this one can be ignored.
5. Anything to worry about before installing TWRP/Treble?
The latest TWRP build on twrp.me have some problems and on my Chinese ver. G8142, it can't R/W my data . On 3.2.3 however it is working fine.
If you buy a chrome version the plastic sides gets erased and looks cheap and bad. Buy a housing and a screen protector. And don't leave it under the sun, when it's hot. Summary: 1. Battery last up to 1 day, depending on the usage. 2. Cameras are great. With latest updates it has improved. 3. No lag. 4. Sound on speakers is really low. 5. Careful with the charger. After about 2 years of charging cable it is kind a loose. 6. Don't change the firmware or unlock the bootloader. Not worth it. Phone is quite capable. And Pie version of Android is clean.7. Connectivity is quite a topic. With speakers or watches is working perfectly. For Casting to TV, not so good. Maybe it depends on the TV.. Enjoy
I can sell you mine for 100€

I do not recommend it ... when I bought it a year ago it was a plane, now sony is not going to give it more support and heats up like a toaster, because of that overheating of the processor, it has caused an orange stain to appear screen. you better buy a Samsung A90 or the Galaxy S10 line

But, you know that that device is cheap, which means that i have a low budget. So don't recommend the top line of phones as a replacement for an older and cheaper phone.

well the device have not the best developer nor Sony support, but if u know what u are doing u can be happy, all games i tested here were still fine, if the device u get is used, check not only if its unlocked but actually batterry sot, since this phone is 3,2A only a weared battery might not be what u want. Else i am still very happy with it.
buy orignal for $230 from ali express
If you are planning to buy, buy from ali express they got free shipping, i got a brand new orignal for $230. below is the link.
It really depends on the price. I got my XZP last august I think for around $120 (USD). This phone is worth it if you have sweaty hands. I can still touch the screen without wiping it despite of having a sweaty hands. Most newer phones doesn't have that kind of screen at that price range. The specs are okay for me since I don't game on my phone. Battery life is a bit meh having only 5 hours SOT with stamina mode turned on (only 3.5 hours if its turned off). The camera is still good too (both front and rear). And it still looks cool. You can compare it to other modern flagships today when it comes to design.

JP ver can't get bootloader unlocked thus no rooting or TWRP. Certain batch can do so but I don't recommend trying to get your hands on one unit cuz it's quite difficult. Stock JP rom contains docomo's bloatware and some japan only modifications but you *can* adb them out.
nothing more.
