Barcelona, Mobile World Congress, 27th February 2016 – Sony Mobile Communications (“Sony Mobile”) today unveiled two stunning super mid-range models in its refreshed “X” series, Xperia XA1, and its 6” screen big brother Xperia XA1 Ultra. Building on the success of last year’s XA models, the XA1 and XA1 Ultra feature a beautiful borderless design to make the most of the edge-to-edge screen, cameras that are worthy of a high-end premium status and octa-core processors.

Take pictures that exceed your expectations

Camera expertise are taken from Sony’s digital camera division to deliver a leading rear camera for both XA1 and XA1 Ultra that offers 23MP high resolution with a large 1/2.3” Exmor™RS for mobile sensor, bright F2.0 lens and superior lowlight capability. You’re guaranteed a superfast journey from launch to capture in 0.6s and incredibly fast and accurate Hybrid Autofocus, so even the most spontaneous moments are always in focus.

Front cameras are the backbone of the selfie world and the 8MP, 23mm wide-angle lens on Xperia XA1 will let you capture all the action even in a group selfie without missing anyone out. The XA1 Ultra features a 16MP front camera with Optical Image Stabilizer to eliminate the effects of handshake and improve low-light selfies, plus a smart selfie flash to naturally illuminate your face. Both models allow you to capture the perfect selfie easily with just a wave via the ‘Hand Shutter’ camera feature.

Edge-to-edge Beauty
32972466982_dbee6848b1_h.jpg

The beautiful borderless design introduced in 2016 has been refined to create the illusion of a seamlessly never-ending surface whose curvature aids the perfect fit in your hand. The edge-to-edge HD (720p) 5” screen on XA1 and Full HD (1080p) 6” screen on XA1 Ultra are supported by display technologies to deliver a crisp, sharp viewing experience.

Sony craftsmanship is clear to see with the diamond cut-like finish on top and bottom, along with the choice of materials such as the aluminium sides which create a rich feel in the hand.

With their power-efficient MediaTek Helio P20 octa-core processors you get a quick and smooth experience, whether you browse the web, watch a video or play your favourite game.

Both XA1 and XA1 Ultra are designed to ensure a longer lasting performance over the smartphone’s lifetime. Qnovo Adaptive Charging monitors the battery’s health and adjusts charging current accordingly to avoid damage and maximise lifespan whilst Stamina Mode keeps your battery going for longer when you really need it the most by disabling some of the functions and extending the lifetime.
Sony’s Smart Cleaner cleverly manages the performance and memory of your device by clearing the cache and unused apps automatically in order to attain the best speed and performance without degradation over time. Additionally both models support quick charging to give you hours of power in just a few minutes charging.

Making life easier

Xperia Actions is a new addition to the latest Xperia range including XA1 and XA1 Ultra that aims to learn your usage patterns to simplify your daily life by suggesting customisable settings and personalised recommendations. For example, when you go to bed your Xperia can learn your bedtime routine and automatically adjust the screen brightness and call volume.

Availability

Xperia XA1 and Xperia XA1 Ultra will roll out from Spring 2017 with Android N at launch and come in a choice of contemporary finishes; White, Black, Pink and Gold. Both models have matching Style Cover Stands available in White and Black along with a range of complementary accessories.

Moi thinking of getting an Xperia again. But Sony got to lift their game. Even the Ss low range S$250 J5 Prime also hv fingerprint scanner.
Agreed most others low mid end comes with finger print scanner
Sony need to buck up the value
Indeed, it's a pity that the XA1 and XA1 Ultra doesn't feature a fingerprint sensor.

If they want to implement a fingerprint sensor to the XA1 series, they would possibly place it at the side of the phone.
However, that would mean sacrificing the borderless design as there would definitely be side bezels because of the side fingerprint sensor.

Back also can put sensor mah if wanna avoid side bezel. Doesn't bother me too much as I don't use fingerprint for my phones.

I'm more disappointed at the 2300 mah battery.

Sony's "super mid-range" Xperia XA1 is coming to Singapore on 6th May

The Sony Xperia XA1 is finally coming to Singapore on 6th May!:s12::s12:

Building on last year's Xperia XA smartphones, Sony has just announced the launch of its new "super mid-range" Xperia XA1 smartphone, which will be available in Singapore on 6th May 2017. First unveiled at MWC in February, the XA1 has a 5-inch 720p display, and is powered by a Mediatek Helio P20 processor. Its best feature seems to be its 23-megapixel, f/2.0 rear camera with its 1/2.3-inch Sony ExmorTMRS mobile sensor. On the front, there's an 8-megapixel 23mm wide-angle camera.

The XA1 also includes a new software feature called “Xperia Actions”, which Sony claims will learn user habits and automatically change settings and manage apps according. For example, when you go to bed your Xperia can learn your bedtime routine and automatically adjust the screen brightness and call volume.

The Xperia XA1 will be available in Gold, Black and White at a suggested retail price of S$398 from Sony Store, Sony Centre, M1, Singtel, StarHub and authorized retail partners by 6 May 2017.

Sony is not in the game. Other manufactures have already released FPS even in their budget models.

Yes.. who the hell is going to buy this phone? When they can get Redmi Note at a cheap price.. :s22:
