Sony Xperia XA Ultra Review

Score: 71 / 100

Sony Xperia XA Ultra is a high-end Android phone launched in 2016, with a huge 6 inches screen, a very powerful 2 gigahertz Octa-Core CPU, and two cameras, a 21.5 mega-pixels back side camera and a 16 mega-pixels front side camera.

It appears that Sony decided not to care so much about the weight in this 7.13 oz phone. The Sony Xperia XA Ultra is just 0.33" thick, taking it to the thinnest phone's category. This cellphone just has 6.46 inches long and 3.11 inches wide, but it manages to hold a 6" display. Sony is offering the Sony Xperia XA Ultra in 16 777 216 color.

Sony decided to build this phone using a MediaTek Helio P10 MT6755 chip, holding an extremely fast Octa-Core processing unit ticking at 2 GHz and a great 3 GB RAM. A good aspect of the Sony Xperia XA Ultra is its 16 GB quite large internal storage and a slot for an external memory card, enough to store a couple hundred applications without worrying about space.

This cellphone is equipped with two cameras, a 21.5 MP back side camera and a 16 mega-pixels front side camera. this device's back side camera has an aperture of f/2.2 so it can take great pictures even in poorly lit environments. It is capable of filming videos up to 1920x1080 (Full HD) at 30 fps. This phone also has time lapse video.

This cellphone has a high-tech 6 inches screen with a 1080 x 1920 (Full HD) resolution, providing this device with a very detailed graphical experience.

The Sony Xperia XA Ultra includes WiFi capability (which it can share with other devices around, acting as a wireless modem or router), 4G (LTE) high speed connection and also HSPA+ internet connection, that is a bit slower 4G variation and the fastest 3G internet connection, using HSDPA and HSUPA technologies. This device has dual SIM so it is able to use two different phone lines or carriers.

This device also features a wide range of cool characteristics as NFC (Near Field Communication), Bluetooth (4.1 ), GPS Navigation and FM Radio, and plenty of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.

This phone features an inmense 2700 mAh Li - Ion non-removable battery providing the Sony Xperia XA Ultra an extremely long battery life. An issue to take into account is that this device's battery is not replaceable so you won't be able to replace it when it begins to lose its charge, though with such a big battery you will probably discard this cellphone before it becomes a real problem.

The Sony Xperia XA Ultra may not be a very good choice considering it is sold for $ 192, and many similar devices are being sold cheaper than that. It doesn't matter whether you want a social cellphone, want a gaming phone, will use it as a work phone or want this phone to take lots of pictures, this cellphone is the correct choice for you.
