Announced back in MWC this February, the Xperia XA1 Ultra was alike to an undercard match while the Xperia XZ Premium was the main event. Fret not though, since it was just released by Sony Philippines and is competitively priced at PhP 21,990 with midrange innards that are definitely more than tempting.
If there’s anything that you should check out, it’s the cameras. The 23MPx rear camera is paired with a large, 1/2.3″ Exmor™ RS sensor and F/2.0 lens. On the front is a 23mm-wide, 16MPx front camera that’s with optical image stabilization. Also, there’s an LED flash for those late-night selfies or groufies.
The Xperia XA1 Ultra is available in the following colors: Rainbow White, Black, Pink, and Gold. Along with that arrangement are accessories that will pair nicely with your color of choice.
