It seems that Sony has something for every class of user at MWC 2017. The Xperia XZ Premium definitely takes the cake as far as the hig...
It’s a bit difficult to place the Xperia XA1 and the XA1 Ultra as they seem to defy easy classification. But as their name suggests, they do share some common traits, particularly the one inherited from last year’s Xperia XA. Before near bezel-less designs came into fashion, the Xperia XA was already flaunting an edge-to-edge screen. Sure, it still had (rather large) bezels at the top and bottom, something that the XA1 and XA1 Ultra also inherited.
Both cameras also boast of the same 23 megapixel 1/2.3-inch Exmor RS sensor for the main camera. While not as talented as the ones on the Xperia XZs and XZ Premium, they can still be pretty decent, especially with Hybrid AF and, in the case of the XA1 Ultra, HDR support for stills. Both are also powered by the same MediaTek Helio P20 processor, a 64-bit octa-core processor running at 2.3 GHz max. But that’s were the similarities mostly end.
The Xperia XA1 only gets 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of storage, which does qualify it mostly as a mid-range phone. Especially with the 5-inch 720p screen

The Xperia XA1 Ultra kicks it up a notch. It gets 4 GB of RAM, for example, but the 6-inch screen only goes as far as 1920×1080. It’s key feature, however, is the 16 megapixel front camera, with a 1/2.6-inch Exmor RS sensor, front-facing flash, and even optical image stabilization!
