I've been using a Sony Xperia XA for about a month now, let me tell you something: 1. Updates <-- Use any custom rom if updates are not coming anymore 2. No privacy harmed <-- Use XPrivacy 3. Not crammed with bloatware: choose what you want (fair) <-- Root, and you can uninstall everything you want 4. Root access <-- You can root Android devices as well 5. Where are the advertisements? <-- Root, and you can remove all ads, even inside apps. 6. Not willing to pay a company's 70% profitmargin for harming your privacy, cramming it with bloatware and adds. <-- See all the points above. 7 (possible) android support through Alien Dalvik. <-- Native Android support, instead of half working dalvik. I'm actually pretty happy with my rooted Sony XA.
