The "plus" version of the popular Sony Xperia XA1 smartphone is a striking example of a balanced mid-range device with a decent hardware base and artsy appearance.
Recognizable design
Due to the characteristic squared shapes, the model is recognizable among thousands of peers of the same type. Slightly spoil the picture in appearance only large upper and lower overhangs, which in the era of framelessness does not look the best. Between the “forehead” and “chin” on the front panel of the gadget , a FullHD screen with classic 16:9 proportions and a diagonal of 5.5" is clamped. Traditionally for Sony, the image on it is slightly "cold" by default. However, the colour temperature of the display can be easily changed in the settings.
Hardware base
At the heart of the Sony Xperia XA1 Plus hardware platform, an 8-core chip is not the first freshness MediaTek Helio P20. "Scoring" over 62K points in the AnTuTu synthetic test, the trio consisting of a central processor, 3/4 GB of RAM and ARM Mali-T880 MP2 graphics demonstrates an acceptable response rate of the device to user actions, if they are not aimed at tossing and turning applications of a serious severity level. By the way, only the version of the device with 4 GB of “RAM” has a side fingerprint scanner. In the younger configuration of the model with 3 GB of RAM, its place is taken by the most ordinary unlock key.
Benefits to Karma

In contrast to it, an 8 MP selfie camera can be found on the front panel. The model also gets praise for the presence of an NFC chip and a USB-C port. Through this interface connector, the gadget's battery is charged, the capacity of which is 3430 mAh.Taking into account the effective energy-saving algorithms of Sony smartphones, without recharging, the device stays afloat for up to 2 days in a row.
