The hardware
The XA2 Xperia family is powered by an octa-core 2.2GHz Cortex-A53 CPU processor (the Snapdragon 630) and this makes it much more capable than its predecessor Xperia X, which was basically a 4 + 2 cores, ed. The GPU is an Adreno 508 GPU, enough to handle the workload.
For memory, there are 3 GB of RAM and 32GB of file starting with the usual microSD slot for expansion. (To check, up to 32GB if it was the old Sailfish limit).
The battery is large, non-removable, from 3,300 mAh, more on XA2 plus and ultra; It is also compatible with QuickCharge 2.0
The front cameras is as usual for Sony very good, with a main-room 23MP f / 2.0 apertures, with 2160p / 30fps video recording. The front camera is 8MP, highlighted for its 120 degrees of shooting angle, but with fixed focus. It allows video recording at 1080p / 30fps.

Great product.
Fast shipping, the OS works fine.
No problems at all!
The only downside is that the installed OS-Version is not stated on the Website.
If you want to use the Android Support for Sailfish, you need to upgrade to Sailfish X.
