For starters, the Sony Xperia XA Ultra is an upper middle-class smartphone with a 6-inch Full HD (1080 x 1920) display. Inside, there is the octa-core MediaTek MT6755 chipset and 3 GB of RAM. The XA Ultra sports a 21.5 MP rear camera along with a 16 MP selfie unit. The phone supports 4G LTE and gets juiced by a 2700mAh battery. Currently, the handset retails at Rs. 22,990 at Flipkart.
