From the sets of CES 2018 in Las Vegas, Sony added Xperia XA2 and XA2 Ultra, its two new selfie-centric smartphones to its portfolio. These mid-range smartphones by the South Korean firm come running on latest Android OS and succeed last year’s Xperia XA1.
Both devices accompany Sony’s trademark ‘boxy’ design with sharp corners and 16:9 display, something that the Xperia loyalist may like. The Xperia XA2 and Xperia XA2 ultra may not feature today’s near bezel-less display but sport edge-to-edge displays that are curved at the sides.
