Sony Xperia XA2

Sony has finally made its 18:9 smartphone available in the Philippines.

The Sony Xperia XA2 Ultra was first introduced in CES 2018 earlier this year. It is one of Sony’s first attempt in the new 18:9 screen trend. However, it doesn’t look like every other smartphone out there. Instead, the company carried its roots — the edgy, boxy corners and huge bezels on the top and bottom of the screen.

Selfies are really important for consumers especially here in the Philippines, so Sony equipped the Xperia XA2 Ultra with two cameras with optical image stabilization in front. Under the hood is a Snapdragon chipset together with a roomy 4GB of RAM.
