Back in September an upcoming 2018 Sony smartphone
had its specs leaked by a benchmark run. So far, however, all we've had to go
on was its model number, namely H4233. And while that in itself betrayed the
phone's mid-range status, it's always good to know exactly what a device is
actually going to be called.
In this case, the H4233 will be sold as the Xperia
XA2 Ultra, the successor to the XA1 Ultra which launched this May. The official
confirmation of its name comes by way of SIRIM, the Malaysian product
certification body, which has outed it through its documents.
The XA2 Ultra could make its debut at MWC in
February, since that's where its predecessor got official too. According to the
aforementioned benchmark listing, the new model will be powered by Qualcomm's
Snapdragon 630, paired with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage. It will boast a
6" 1080p 16:9 touchscreen, a 21 MP rear camera, and a 16 MP selfie
snapper. It will run Android 8.0 Oreo from day one.
