Sony will be moving forward with none other than its X-series of smartphones. The latest addition being the Xperia XA Ultra, aimed at the upper mid-range category.
Sony just launched a new smartphone called the Xperia XA Ultra. The handset features a 6-inch display with a Full HD resolution and is powered by MediaTek's MT6755 processor. Inside lies 3GB of RAM and 16GB of storage, which can be expanded up to 200GB with the addition of a microSD card.
On the back of the smartphone you'll find a 16MP camera, and on the front you'll be able to use an 8MP camera that includes optical image stabilization. This will capture better selfies all around, even when lighting conditions aren't the best. The front-facing camera also comes with an LED flash alongside it to ensure the best picture quality.
Google's very latest software in that of Android 6.0.1 is preloaded on the Xperia XA Ultra. Unfortunately, the smartphone sports just a 2,700mAh battery, which seems rather small for its giant size if you ask us. Sony however says it will provide 2-day long battery life.
The Xperia XA Ultra is coming to stores in select locations this July. It'll be available in choice of White, Black, and lime gold (pictured above).
