- Sony unveils new selfie smartphone: Xperia XA2 Ultra
- Xperia XA2 Ultra is the “dual selfie” smartphone, featuring 16MP with Optical Image Stabilisation and 8MP 120° super wide-angle front cameras
As the selfie trend continues to grow in the Philippines, there’s no doubt why the country reigned as “Selfie Capital of the World” in 2014. High-quality phone cameras remain to be a priced possession toted by every Filipino. Designed perfectly for selfies, Sony Mobile Communications (“Sony Mobile”) unveiled the Xperia XA2 Ultra – the latest additions to its popular super mid-range line, with Sony camera technology, elegant designs and powerful performance. Officially launched in Manila this April 13, 2018 (Friday), and made available nationwide after launch date. The Xperia XA2 Ultra will launch on Android 8.0 OreoTM and retails at P22,990.
“Our super mid-range product strategy started out as an exciting new idea based on bringing bold technologies to this section of the market in the most accessible way possible,” said Nobuyoshi Otake, Sony Philippines Managing Director. “XA2 Ultra is no different, with leading front camera technology first seen in our flagship XZ line. We’re targeting 2018 as a breakthrough year, and look forward to showcasing further innovations across the entire Xperia portfolio over the coming months.”
Xperia XA2 Ultra is the ultimate “dual selfie” camera smartphone
Engineered specifically for selfies, Xperia XA2 Ultra features 16MP with Optical Image Stabilisation and 8MP 120° super wide-angle dual front cameras, both with front flash, producing clear shots regardless of lighting or environment and for fitting more friends and surroundings into selfies.
With the same 23MP rear camera module as XA1 Plus, the large 1/2.3” Exmor RSTM for mobile sensor is capable of ISO 12800 sensitivity for better low-light photography – and the 4K movie recording and 120fps slow motion video capture features allow you to preserve memories and magnify moments.
It features Sony’s most vibrant 6” Full HD smartphone display yet, with a wide and accurate colour gamut – built with strong and durable Corning® Gorilla® Glass. It sits within a borderless design; hardware so immersive, the screen becomes indistinguishable from the experience.
Just as with Xperia L2, unlocking is made easy with the one-touch rear fingerprint sensor. The “loop surface” design is also composed of anodized aluminium on the sides, with the same recognisable diamond-cut finish on the top and bottom from previous Xperia models.
The super-capacity 3,580 mAh battery means you can use the device for longer, and intuitive Sony smart charging technologies regulate and analyse power consumption and charging cycles, so it lasts and stays healthy over time – and the Qualcomm® SnapdragonTM 630 Mobile Platform ensures performance is seamless and multitasking is made easy. Quick charging is also supported for hours of power in just minutes of charging (requires Quick Charger UCH12W).
Xperia XA2 Ultra will be available in Dual SIM in three contemporary colours: Black, Blue and Gold. SRP is Php 22,990, available on all Sony Centre Stores, Xperia Shops and Sony Authorized Dealers on April 13, 2018.
