Score: 72.8 / 100

Sony Xperia XA1 Ultra is a breath-taking device launched some years ago, in 2017, with a large 6" display, a very fast Octa-Core CPU speeding at 2300 MHz, a 23 MP back camera and a 16 mega-pixels front camera. Is that all? Not at all, it's only the starting point of a detailed review.

Sony decided to equip this cellphone using a MediaTek Helio P20 MT6757 system chip, packing a very powerful Octa-Core processing unit ticking at 2300 MHz and a great 4 GB RAM. This phone comes with a 32 GB excellent internal memory and a slot for SD memory cards, enough to store hundreds of applications and even the heaviest games available nowadays without thinking about running out of space.

This cellphone has an amazing design, with a thickness of just 0.32 inches. This cellphone is a compact phone, taking into account that it packs a 6 inches display and it's just 6.5 inches long and 3.11" wide. This cellphone is for sale in a wide range of colors like black, gold, pink and white. This cellphone feels much lighter than what one would expect from a cellphone like this. Regarding its construction, this phone is mostly built with Aluminum .

This cellphone is equipped with a incredible 6" screen with a 1080 x 1920 (Full HD) resolution, giving this cellphone a delightful graphical experience.

This cellphone includes WiFi connection (and it can be shared with other devices acting as a mobile hotspot), 4G LTE-A high bandwidth connectivity and also HSPA+ data connection (which is a lower speed 4G type) and the fastest 3G connectivity, using HSDPA and HSUPA technologies. This device has 2 Nano SIM cards so it can to work with 2 different phone lines in the same phone.

This phone has two cameras, a 23 MP back facing camera and a 16 megapixels front-facing camera. Its back facing camera has an aperture of 2 so it can take excellent pictures even in dark situations.

This device packs amassive 2700 mAh Li - Ion non-replaceable battery that provides this cellphone an incredibly long battery life. An issue to evaluate is that the Sony Xperia XA1 Ultra's battery is not removable so you can't throw it away and buy a new one when it starts to lose capacity, even though with such a great capacity you will probably buy a new device before it becomes a real problem.

This cellphone also includes some nice characteristics as NFC (to trigger actions, transfer data or make payments by holding your phone close to another NFC device or tag), Bluetooth (allows communication with other devices, computers, and accessories) and GPS (Global Positioning System), and multiple sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.
