Damn, would have gone for this for my OHs daughter but instead I got a HomTom for similar money :disappointed:

Getting a Chinese phone from Amazon? That's not going to last at all. Should've gotten a Moto G4/G4Plus or a Xiaomi.

I sold me iPhone 6 plus ever since getting the xperia z5 premium. best phone ever and battery is great. mind that XA is a lower end phone so can't judge the brand by it I guess.

I had one of these. They are good for the money. Build quality is good. The backs scratch very easily. The Mediatek P10 Octa core is more than fast enough. Just the standard HD resolution that lets it down. Would have been nicer with a FHD panel
As for Sony, I guess it depends on the phone. I think my Z5C is great, not seen much I'd consider swapping it for.

Actually the last homtom has done well, a year old now and still fine. We've also had a doogee which survived being dropped better than a Z3 compact! If I could find any of the phones you mentioned for under £100 I'd have jumped at it, but its for an 11 year old girl so no need to go OTT plus by using amazon I got it next day and get very easy returns. That said I'd rather have had the Sony here!
EDIT: Half tempted to unwrap the thing and send it back!

The battery on this Sony is not up to it unfortunately.
Its probably the main reason why these phones are being returned
