Loved Xperia X. Very disapointed by the XA2.

Greetings; Little story: i had some hardware problem with my Xperia X, thus i had to buy an other smartphone, thus i told myself lets take the most recent one, the Xperia XA2 for me to have the best. In reality i had the worst... i am very surprised by that because the Xperia X was working perfectly well. Now i think i will rebuy an "Xperia X".

Resumed of the problem i'm faced with the XA2:

1) Android App cant access the data in the SD card. WHY IS THAT??? this was working with the Xperia X. what a surprise when i discovered that... the main problem is that Sailfish X doesn't have a decent video player (end 2019). there is NO ALTERNATIVE than the default video player which is just a very basic gallery browser. I trued to install LLs Video Player without success, and it doesn't add new video codecs. Thus it's almost mandatory to use an android one like VLC, but you will be limited by the size of inner memory +/- 16GB as it cant access the SD card.

2) sometimes i have a data connection failure, and cant access the internet and/or make phone call. I've found a "hack" avoiding me to restart the phone" (utility app is useless for that case). i put the phone in "plain mode" a couple of times and that data connection became available again. i never had that with the Xperia X.

3) Android App doesn't understand the screen orientation config of sailfish X. really annoying even if you lock the orientation, android app screen will flip. this was working with the Xperia X.

4) GPS take minute to catch position. it was almost instantly with the Xperia X.

5) sometimes the SDcard is not detected at reboot, i have the ringtones one my SD card, thus i have to reassign all the sound when it append.

6) The problem with the default mail client and IMAP protocol is still there. if you write a draft mail with the sailfish X native mail app. it will be saved indefinitely. it saturated my mailbox, with like 25.000 draft mail of the same mail. It was also the case with the Xperia X. thus is use K9 mail instead.

7) camera app is the same than the Xperia X. I tough it will be much better, as the XA2 is more advanced technologically.

8) web browser is really slow and basic. It was also the case with the Xperia X. thus is use Opera instead.

9) the native music player of sailfish is very basic, no equalizer. Hopefully we have Quasar MX now as decent music player, very advanced i have to say. but we have to buy it to unlock all the features. it's a sailfish app thus it can access the SDcard content. It was also the case with the Xperia X.

10) also a feature that is REALLY missing. it's an alarm clock that can turn on the phone.
