Unlocked Sony Xperia XA Ultra hits new all-time low price of $230 at B&H today only

The Xperia XA Ultra is by no means Sony’s best X-series phone launched this year to replace the Z family, and apparently, a few other letters as well. But right now, for the next 18 hours or so only, it’s probably the one with the finest quality – pricing ratio.

Ironically, the upper mid-range 6-inch giant is even cheaper than the non-Ultra, far humbler 5-inch Xperia XA at B&H Photo Video, setting you back $230 compared to $250. That’s because it’s finally the selfie-proficient phablet’s time to shine, shortly after similarly attractive holiday deals on the XZ, standard XA and X Compact.

$229.99 isn’t just a hefty 100 bucks off the XA Ultra’s MSRP, but also its new all-time low price, good for graphite black, lime gold and white color options, with limited one-year warranties, and 4G LTE connectivity on North American GSM networks included.

Seeing as how you get a large 1080p display, octa-core MediaTek Helio P10 processor, 3GB RAM, expandable 16GB storage, 2700 mAh battery, and especially 21.5/16MP cameras here, the Sony Xperia XA Ultra may well be the best all-around unlocked phone available stateside at under $250. Remember, you have until midnight EST to take advantage of B&H’s killer deal.

Sony Xperia XA Ultra drops below $300 on Amazon, microSD card included

If there’s one thing mobile consumers have always commended Sony for, in (financial) sickness and health, that’s surely the company’s stubbornness to offer solid compact Xperia models when practically everyone else in the business was adopting larger and larger footprints.But Ultra-branded phablets have enjoyed their time in the spotlight too, starting with the ridiculously jumbo-sized

Sony’s full Xperia X lineup ready for pre-orders in the US

If you’ve been waiting for it to reach the US, we’ve got news.Pre-orders have just begun in the US for the full Sony Xperia X lineup, meaning the Xperia X, X Performance, XA, and XA Ultra.

Here are the official US prices and release dates of the entire Sony Xperia X family

Sony’s long-struggling mobile arm and US carriers have never been particularly close, and it’s hard to tell if that’s because Xperia phones aren’t popular enough stateside, or if perhaps they failed to catch on all this time precisely due to Sprint and AT&T’s indifference, as well as T-Mobile and Verizon’s blunders.Either ...
