sonyXperia XA1 - Unlocked Smartphone - 32GB - Gold (US Warranty)

Q: Does this phone work with Verizon?

Do not purchase this phone. It is poorly manufactured. It malfunctions in every possible way within few months of purchase

Q: are people stil having issue with the touch screen dying or keys not working?

My touch screen hasn't died yet. As with every/any electronic device I own I have had to restart this device to free it up from a hang or something once every 1week/2 weeks but most of the time it runs smoothly. If I notice it having any issue I hit it with the age old IT Step 1. I did have issues with not being able to look at screenshots people would send me over text. For some reason opening that image type (whatever it was) would crash messenger. But that problem seems to have disappeared as well. Right now this thing is running like a charm on Verizon, screen is great. My only complaint about the keyboard/screen is that typing upright I seem to fat finger the keys a lot so i have to type slow. But if I remember to use the swype function it works fine.
