The main highlights of the Xperia XA Ultra are the dual camera featuring a 21.5MP main shooter with OIS, hybrid focus, and LED Flash, and the front-facing selfie at 16MP with OIS and LED flash, similar to HTC 10. If we are in the same treatment of Sony, both Xperia X, and XA have likely the same selfie camera quality.
