Body: Aluminum frame, polycarbonate back silver, black, blue, and pink (the latter is for select markets only) color schemes.Those are good enough reasons to look forward to the Ultra line but also feel upbeat about the new bunch of Xperias that will come our way in the following months. Battery capacity has been increased and there is a brand new rear-mounted fingerprint sensor available to all models, including US-bound. The whole thing is powered by a modern and efficient Snapdragon 630 chipset and 4K video is added to the bill, courtesy of the same 23MP sensor. The XA2 puts a larger screen of higher-resolution in a more compact body with even less bezels. It improves on pretty much everything the Xperia XA1 had. And the Xperia XA2 bodes well for Sony's new generation of smartphones this season.

The recently unveiled Xperia XA2 series is not only a statement of persistence, but also shows intent for expansion. Sony may be looking beyond smartphones but the Xperia line is still standing its ground.
