Sony Unveils Xperia XA2, Xperia XA2 Ultra, and Xperia L2

LAS VEGAS, NV — Today at CES 2018, Sony announced the addition of three new phones to their Xperia line: the Xperia XA2, Xperia XA2 Ultra, and Xperia L2. Slotting in under the XZ flagship series, the mid-range XA2 and XA2 Ultra succeeds the original XA and XA Ultra, while the lower-end L2 succeeds the L1. The new series brings a number of hardware changes and specification upgrades across the board.

In comparing to the preceding Xperia series, the specifications of the XA2, XA2 Ultra, and L2 do seem to indicate improvements on the weaker aspects of the first iteration. All three now have always-on fingerprint scanners and larger battery sizes. The XA2 has also seen its display upgraded to Full HD 1080p. And at least on paper, the change from MediaTek to Qualcomm Snapdragon should provide a slight performance increase for the XA2 phones. The Snapdragon 630 mobile platform features 150Mbps upload and 600Mbps download speeds, an increase from the XA1 capabilities.
