Sony India has launched the new X series smartphones, with the flagship Xperia X and the mid-range smartphone – Xperia XA. The announcement comes quite some time after this new X-series lineup was showcased at the Mobile World Congress 2016 event in Barcelona in February.
While the Xperia X doesn’t really contain the latest best specs to compete against the flagships from other top-tier brands, it is betting on the camera segment here.
The Sony Xperia X has a 5-inch Full HD display, and under the hood is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 650 processor (octa-core chipset clocked at 1.8GHz) along with 3GB of RAM and 32GB internal storage, where the storage can be expanded by a further 200GB with a MicroSD card.
The device runs Android Marshmallow OS with the Xperia UI and talking about the camera, which seems to be the best part about the phone, there is a 23-megapixel camera on the back along with a 13-megapixel front-facing camera. The device gets its power from a 2620 mAh battery.
The Sony Xperia XA on the other side is a mid-range device that comes with a 5-inch display but it is a beautiful edge-to-edge display with minimum borders on the sides. Under the hood, the phone comes with a MediaTek Helio P10 (MT6755) processor along with 2GB RAM and 16GB internal storage, along with a MicroSD card slot allowing the storage expansion by up to 200GB.
The camera combination on this device compromises of a 13-megapixel rear and an 8-megapixel front-facing camera. The 2300 mAh battery on the device is said to be supporting Qnovo Adaptive Charging Technology and the phone runs Android Marshmallow OS with the Xperia UI.
Both the smartphones are said to have a hybrid autofocus system. The phones are Dual SIM units for the Indian market and the color options to choose from, include White, Graphite Black, Lime Gold and Rose Gold. Furthermore, it is only Amazon India where the devices will be available exclusively online, while in the offline market, you’d be seeing it on Sony Center, Xperia Flagship stores, top mobile and electronic stores.
