Sony’s new mid-rangers have been frequenting the
rumor mill recently, but it is only now that we find out what sets the two
siblings apart – screen size, obviously, but also chipsets and price. The Sony Xperia XA3 – actually, the
Xperia 10 – will have a Snapdragon 630 chipset with 3GB of RAM and 64GB
storage. The dual camera on the back will have a 13MP main sensor plus a 5MP
depth sensor. The phone will be powered by a 2,870mAh battery. The Xperia 10 will cost €350 on
the Old Continent.
The Sony Xperia 10 Plus (formerly known as XA3 Plus
or Ultra) will be the one with a Snapdragon 660 chipset paired with 4GB of RAM
and 64 storage (as base, there should be a 6GB model too). Both phones will
feature a microSD slot for extra memory.
The dual camera switches over to a 12MP main module
and 8MP secondary, though it seems that this extra module will still be used
only for bokeh rendering. The two models will have 21:9 screens with 1080p+ resolution and will
offer Hi-Res Audio through their 3.5mm headphone jacks.
The Xperia L3, Sony’s more affordable offering, will
be € 200. It’s not clear if it’s getting a new name too or sticking to the old
L-series.
