The display has a color depth of 16M colors and supports multi touch up to four fingers. Xperia XA’s display stretches the full width of the phone so there’s barely a frame visible. The phone also has nice viewing angles and color saturation. Even at a 720 p display it gives a high end feel because of the amazing details.

Conclusion
The Sony Xperia XA has all the good looks, the phone is very thin and light, thus it can be easily handled. Despite a 720p resolution the display is good and 2.5D glass adds to its beauty. The phone is equipped with a nice hardware for a mid ranged phone and it comes with the latest Marshmallow OS. Although you can wait for some price cuts, but still it is a phone you should take into consideration while buying a new one.
