Sony has just added to its Xperia XA2 range with the announcement of the Sony Xperia XA2 Plus, a phone thats set to join the already-available Sony Xperia XA2 and Sony Xperia XA2 Ultra, and it's the only one of the three to sport an 18:9 screen.As well as the change in aspect ratio, which puts it more in line with modern flagships, its the first phone in the range to sport Sonys High-Resolution audio and upscaling technology, meaning you should get more out of your music than many mid-rangers manage.The bezels also look as though they might be slightly smaller than on the other XA2 models, but otherwise this sounds a lot like the Xperia XA2 Ultra, with other specs including a 6.0-inch Full HD+ display, an aluminum frame, a rear fingerprint scanner, a 23MP rear camera and a 3,580mAh battery.The Xperia XA2 Plus is coming in silver, gold, green and blackDoes Plus top UltraOne area where the Ultra might have the Xperia XA2 Plus beat is the front-facing camera, as while the XA2 Ultra has a dual-lens one, the Xperia XA2 Plus has just a single-lens 8MP one, albeit a wide-angle one.
So its not totally clear which phone is higher-end.If there was any doubt that the Xperia XA2 Plus is mid-range though the chipset clears that up, as it uses a Snapdragon 630 the same as the other phones in the range.The Sony Xperia XA2 Plus is set to launch running Android Oreo in August, and youll be able to pick it up in silver, black, gold or green.
Theres no confirmed price yet, but wed expect it will be similar to or slightly more than the Xperia XA2 Ultra, which started at 379, $449.99 (around AU$670).We also dont know which countries the Sony Xperia XA2 Plus will be sold in.
Theres no confirmation of a UK launch, so dont expect it there any time soon if at all, but were not sure about the US or Australia.
Weve contacted Sony to find out and will update this article if we hear anything.LiT6kojBLewPML3QWDVQNU.jpg#
