Sony Xperia XA Ultra Hits UK: Price, Specs And Options

The new Sony Xperia XA Ultra just made its debut last week, and it's already available for preorder in the UK.

Previously rumored as the Xperia C6 Ultra, the new Xperia XA Ultra is the latest phablet from Sony and might just be the new selfie smartphone to beat.

The device offers plenty of screen real estate, rocking a massive 6-inch end-to-end display with a full HD resolution of 1,920 x 1,080 pixels. Under the hood, the handset packs a MediaTek MT6755 octa-core processor gunning at 2 GHz, perhaps more commonly known as the Helio P10, paired with 3 GB of RAM.

The Xperia XA Ultra further packs 16 GB of expandable storage, supporting up to 200 GB of extra memory via microSD, and can last for up to two days on a single charge thanks to its 2,700 mAh battery. Quick charging is also in the mix, adding to the phablet's appeal.

What makes the Sony Xperia XA Ultra truly stand out from the crowd, however, is its whopping selfie cam. The device boasts a 16-megapixel front camera with a Sony Exmor R mobile sensor, optical image stabilization (OIS), flash, autofocus, HDR, and an 88-degree wide-angle lens. The selfie cam even supports low-light photos, which is definitely a plus.

That impressive front shooter is complemented by a 21.5-megapixel rear camera, ensuring that the Xperia XA Ultra offers a powerful camera combo for mobile photography enthusiasts.

On the software front, the phablet runs Android Marshmallow out of the box. Overall, the Xperia XA Ultra is a midrange device that doesn't stray too far from the Xperia XA when it comes to specifications and should provide a decent performance without breaking the bank.

It still remains unclear for now just when the Sony Xperia XA Ultra will hit the U.S. market, but the handset already popped up in the UK. Retailer Unlocked Mobiles is currently selling the SIM-free Xperia XA Ultra for £298.98 including taxes, which would translate to roughly $430 at current exchange rates.

Options include Lime Gold, Black and White avatars, and Unlocked Mobiles lists the delivery date as June 27.
