About a month ago, some alleged renders of a
successor to the Xperia XA showed us some slightly modified hardware that could
very well be the Xperia XA ‘2’, or maybe the Xperia XB?
More photos based on the same render from last month
have surfaced the internet. They are a bit low-res, which suggests they may
have been snapped from an unreleased promotional video. The lack of a wide
power-key shows us this model leaves out the fingerprint scanner, the microUSB
port has been replaced with a USB-C connector, and there are at least three
color combinations shown: red, purple, and a navy blue option.
The positioning of proximity and light sensors is
mirrored on the alleged photos compared to those of the
Xperia XA proper. Also, there’s a slit at the bottom of the screen, which could
indicate the return of stereo speakers, at least for this Xperia model.
There is still no concrete evidence of expected
specs for the Xperia XA’s successor.
