News & Reviews:   Sony Xperia XA Ultra

The Sony Xperia X, Xperia XA and Xperia XA Ultra smartphones were recently launched in Malaysia for RM2499, RM1199 and RM1699 respectively. While we did manage to do some hands-on with these devices during the launch we've since come out with a hands-on video of the smartphones. Check it out below or the Sony site for more information.

Sony Mobile Communications (Sony Mobile) have just launched their Sony Xperia X, Xperia XA and Xperia XA Ultra smartphones for Malaysia for RM2499, RM1199 and RM1699 respectively. The Xperia X and XA will be available nationwide from 22 June 2016 and 27 June 2016 respectively but the Xperia X is already available on pre-order at the Sony site. The larger Xperia XA Ultra will be available from July 2016.

Starting out quietly and ending with a bang, this week's Weekly TechNave highlights included the shockingly affordable Malaysia pricing for the Huawei P9 and P9 Lite along with Google I/O 2016 which revealed Android N, Daydream VR and a host of other features. The ASUS ZenFone 3 rumours have started up as well including an official teaser video, benchmarks and more while Lenovo announced their moto G4 series of smartphones.

Sony recently announced their Sony Xperia XA Ultra, apparently the successor to the Xperia C5 Ultra but with similar Xperia XA design. This includes a rounded metal frame and edge-to-edge display, but with a larger 6-inch screen with full HD 1080 x 1920 pixel resolution. Strangely enough, it packs in a 16MP front camera with LED flash and Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) but does offer OIS for the 21.5MP rear camera. No Malaysia release dates yet but it should start deployment sometime in July.
