In February, Sony introduced the X series of handsets with Xperia X, Xperia XA and Xperia X Performance, by putting an end to the Xperia Z series. Now, Sony has launched the Xperia XA Ultra with impressive configurations in tow.

Speaking of release date, the Sony Xperia XA Ultra will be made available for purchase in July, GSM Arena noted. Apart from the traditional Black and White hues, the Japanese tech giant will also be offering a Lime Gold variant. However, pricing details have not been revealed yet.

As for the specifications, this handset comes with a huge 6.0-inch display, aided by a modest 1080p screen resolution. This display combination translates to a pixel density of 367 ppi.

Designwise, the Xperia XA Ultra packs an edge-to-edge display, enwrapped in a metallic casing. Under the hood, it comes powered by a MediaTek Helio P10 chipset and is backed by a solid 3GB of RAM. On the software front, Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow OS runs the device out of the box.

This handset comes equipped with 16GB of built-in storage space and a microSD card slot to facilitate expansion. Sony has housed a 21.5-megapixel sensor at the back of the smartphone, complete with hybrid autofocus.

The stand-out aspect of the Ultra is the 16-megapixel front-facing snapper for selfies. To top it off, this selfie-clicker also supports OIS. Both front and back camera units come with an LED flash right next to the sensors.

The Xperia XA Ultra will reportedly be able to provide up to two days of battery life, after a full recharge. This device also has rapid charging feature, which will be able to offer 5.5 hours of battery life by charging it for just 10 minutes.
