About the Product

The 6 inch borderless display is big for entertainment but easy to hold for productivity. The Sony sports a 21.5MP main camera and a 16 MP front-facing one which take stunning photos. With a large 2700mAh battery and 16bit Octa-core processor you have efficient power and performance for all of your entertainment needs.

The Samsung Galaxy S7 unlocks a Galaxy of technology that takes your smartphone experience to a new level. The bigger, more stunning screen completes the slimmer design. Why not have a phone that’s water resistant, too? Galaxy S7 withstands splashes, spills and even dunks. Capture the moment like a professional with dual-pixel technology, offering faster autofocus and low-light sensor. Combine that with a longer-lasting battery and expandable memory, and you have a device that’s more than a smartphone.

Gorgeous phone overall, the six inch display is amazing.
Screen size. Watching videos is amazing on the large display.
Beautiful phone! High resolution 6" display with very thin side bezel. Sleek design.
The display looks amazing and the edge to edge design is just plain sexy.
I like the display, although the lowest brightness is brighter than what I'm used to coming from a Galaxy.

What customers say about "Processor"

Sony Xperia XA Ultra unlocked smartphone,16GB Black

Games. You can play any game on here perfectly. The processor is great for it and the screen makes it better.
Fast Octacore processor. Runs latest Android OS (Nougat).
There isn't any lag on the keyboard and the processor seems up to snuff. The pre downloaded keyboard works good.
Sony decided to use a less expensive processor, resulting in a much lower priced phone

Samsung Galaxy S7 (SM-G930A) Unlocked Smartphone, Black Onyx

With the snapdragon processor and 4 gig of RAM, this phone is quick to run your programs without lag. More than enough storage even without an SD card.
Obviously it has faster processor, latest android version and other software enhancements.
This phone is great for multitasking with its split screen support, and the processor is able to keep up with several open remote connections at once.
Updating from Galaxy S5, noticing that the processor gets very hot when in operation, just like the S5.

What customers say about "Camera"

Sony Xperia XA Ultra unlocked smartphone,16GB Black

The camera on this phone produces nice pics and video.
The fun camera apps are hilarious (like snapchat).
The camera is decent in low light and great in bright dayligh
The screen is amazing and its body doesn't feel so heavy, both cameras take excellent photos, but selfies cam is the best.
I'm a little disappointed with the camera. All the reviews raved about how good it's camera is. I've taken pictures with it and they look a little fuzzy even in good light.

Samsung Galaxy S7 (SM-G930A) Unlocked Smartphone, Black Onyx

Phone is nice and light, camera takes awesome pictures and when watching a video or movie, the picture is so clear and detailed
While the Camera on the Galaxy S5 was goo, the camera on the S7 jumps leaps and bounds further, Would recommend this product toa friend (and a foe!)
Nice screen, easy to use, great color, camera unbelievably works great in dark, much better than iPhone.
Great camera with good night capability.
The camera was really good but it sure didn't last very long on batteries got awful hot

What customers say about "Features"

Sony Xperia XA Ultra unlocked smartphone,16GB Black

Android pay is available. I like it but not many places support android pay.
Quickly linked to my PS4 and Sony XBR850 TV. The included media function turns into a remote control for the TV, great for turning off the TV when the kiddos aren't listening so well.
The onscreen keyboard is great in landscape mode, I frequently am using it one handed.
speaker sound is really nice and loud another 5 stars for it.
Call quality is good, signal is good as well
You can add a micro SD card which works great but you cannot download to it directly. Android makes it so you have to download it to the phone first.

Samsung Galaxy S7 (SM-G930A) Unlocked Smartphone, Black Onyx

Love that is waterproof and has a sd slot
Bought this phone because of water resistance features...and has already survived two dunks in water. Extremely satisfied.
It's not too big, very good looking, lots of storage, easy to operate, love the fingerprint ID function.
Works great, speaker is loud, screen is bright, touch screen sensitive, and very good looking.
One thing that Samsung can improve upon though is the slot for the SD (memory) and SIM card. Putting in a micro card for memory and SIM is tricky and requires a steady hand

What customers say about "Power"

Sony Xperia XA Ultra unlocked smartphone,16GB Black

Battery life. The battery last all day for me with heavy use. I use it to play games and watch videos. I get up at 4:30 am and by the time I'm home at 4:00 pm the battery is still at 70 percent.
The battery is good for the size of the phone and the quality is really good
The ridiculously small battery drains in record time. There are a few YouTube videos than can explain how to disable all the nonessential stuff that can help save the battery life
It doesn't have an easy to replace battery for a hotswap like my Lumias did.
The battery is only 2700mah so you'll have to carry a portable charger with you all times!

Samsung Galaxy S7 (SM-G930A) Unlocked Smartphone, Black Onyx

I am very happy with the battery life compared to S6.
Recently switched over to the Samsung Galaxy S7 and it's battery holds up better than any other phone i've had (LG V10, HTC One...)
Battery charges very quickly
Battery runs out a bit quickly unless put on power saving mode all the time.
This phone is Low on battery life. Rest of the things are ok
