In one of my previous articles I mentioned the fact that Sony released its Xperia X line of smartphones in the US and today’s piece of intel is that the best of the bunch, the Xperia XA Ultra is now available for $369,99 unlocked and loaded. The latest member of the family sort to speak joins the party, along with its kin i.e. the Xperia X, XA and X Performance and it can be purchased from Best Buy, Amazon and B&H.
The $369,99 figure  is actually the recommended retail price but you can get lucky and grab it even cheaper than that, as some retailers may go below the MSRP. If you need a jump start, let me refresh your memory by telling you that the Xperia XA Ultra was released officially earlier this month and offers quite a punch for its price tag, but the main selling point of the smartphone is its selfie camera.
Since vanity is the devil’s favorite sin, the Xperia XA Ultra features an impressive 16 megapixels secondary snapper with a huge 1/2.6″ sensor and a dedicated LED flash, which is  very uncommon for a front facing camera. To put things into perspective, the Samsung Galaxy S6 uses a similar camera sensor/resolution as its primary shooter.
Aside from its spectacular front facing camera, the Sony Xperia XA Ultra is pretty similar to its smaller sibling, the regular XA, but with a twist. For example, the Ultra particle means that the display is larger, standing at 6” of real estate screen with a higher (1080p/Full HD) resolution; also this baby is slender, being actually the narrowest six shooter (as in inches) I know of. The hardware platform is a MediaTek MT6755 Helio P10 system on chip (octa-core architecture) with the CPUs clocked at 2 GHz, together with 3 gigabytes of RAM and a Mali-T860MP2 GPU.
