Description

Sony Xperia XA Ultra is the same device that we previously saw presented (unofficially) as the Xperia C6 Ultra. As its name suggests, the XA Ultra is a larger version of the Xperia XA, having a relatively similar design - including an edge-to-edge display. Of course, since this is a bigger device, the display is also bigger than on the regular XA: it's a 6-inch panel with 1080 x 1920 pixels. One of the highlight features of the Sony Xperia XA Ultra is its 16 MP front-facing camera with LED flash and OIS (optical image stabilization), which should let you take high quality selfies. The handset also packs a 21.5 MP rear camera, but it seems that this one doesn't have OIS.

This device is also known as Sony F3213

Great phone I think, but the battery kills it.

Edited: Jan 31, 2018, 5:37 PM

Phone owned for less than a year

I got my phone about 7 months ago. It really is large in size and it worked great for a while. I like the look of it and feel of it. I noticed that there was a lag when taking pictures but that was not too bad. I like the camera button that allows quick access to the camera. I started running out of space quickly because of the 12 out of 16 GB actually available to the user. Then the battery went downhill and couldn't keep a charge and would not recognize that it was connected to a power source. I used the ultra-stamina mode which to try to preserve battery, upon exiting out of the mode, it glitched so I couldn't access any of my apps so I had to factory reset it. That did not help with the problem. I read of a few others who had the same concern after the phone update. I wish it did last longer because it was nice while it lasted.
