Introduction
The Sony Xperia XA1 Ultra comes under the mid-range price category. The refreshed symmetrical design from Sony gives the XA1 Ultra a futuristic and robust look. The Sony Xperia XA1 Ultra is a selfie-oriented smartphone device. The device measures 165 x 79 x 8.1 mm and weighs 88 grammes. It is available in White, Black, Gold, and Pink variants.
Large 6-inch Display
One of the key features of the Sony Xperia XA1 includes its large 6.0-inch IPS LCD display. The display has a Full HD resolution and a scratch-resistant layer on top. The users can fully benefit from the large display as it will enable a better multimedia experience. Also, the thin bezels around the display give the Xperia XA1 Ultra a better look.
16MP Selfie Camera
As most of the device in the market have a 5MP or an 8MP secondary camera, even for a flagship device, but that is not the case with the XA1 Ultra. The Sony Xperia XA1 Ultra has an astonishing 16MP secondary/selfie camera with autofocus and LED flash; it also has an OIS (Optical image stabilisation) to prevent shaky images. The rear-facing camera on the Xperia XA1 Ultra is equally astonishing with its 23-megapixel resolution; it has a hybrid (Phase-detection & laser) autofocus technology and an LED flash. Sadly, there is no OIS in the primary camera.
MediaTek Helio P20 Chipset
The Sony Xperia XA1 Ultra is powered by MediaTek’s Helio P20 chipset; it houses an octa-core Cortex-A53 CPU and Mali-T880MP2 GPU. The chipset is mated to 4GB of RAM. Sony’s decision to choose the MediaTek over Snapdragon will impact the sales of the device in a worse manner. The Sony Xperia XA1 Ultra has an expandable built-in storage of 64GB.
Battery & Connectivity
The only downer off the Sony Xperia XA1 Ultra is its small 2,700 mAh battery. Nonetheless, it has Pump Express+ 2.0 technology for faster and cooler charging. The wireless connectivity on the Sony Xperia XA1 Ultra is achieved by dual-SIM 4G LTE with VoLTE, Bluetooth v4.2, Wi-Fi ac/b/g/n, NFC, and GPS with A-GPS. For wired connectivity, the Xperia XA1 Ultra uses USB Type-C port and a 3.5mm audio jack.
