What’s the issue, you ask? It’s just not bold — at least, if you’ve seen other Xperia releases of late.
Steve Hemmerstoffer’s @OnLeaks channel on Twitter has posted some graphic renders of what appears to be the successor to the Sony Xperia XA. No silicon was mentioned, just dimensions: 145 x 66.8 x 7.99mm with a 5-inch screen and USB Type-C.
The short-radius corners smooth out sharper ones found on this year’s releases, but there was a bit of borrowing when it button (hooray for the shutter button!) and camera orientation.
Do we want to get excited for another Xperia? While predictable phones, they can be reliably steady.

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.

As always, Best Buy was one of the most generous US retailers on Thanksgiving and during the “Black Friday weekend”, not to mention many of its super-compelling holiday deals were available early in limited quantities.
And many still are for Cyber Monday, with several more inaugurated today and up for grabs just in the next few hours. Looking for a couple of solid bets at a quick glance? That’s where we come in, to tell you the 12.9-inch iPad Pro is $100 off list across the board, starting at $700 instead of $800 in a Wi-Fi-only 32GB configuration.
Don’t have that much to spend? Maybe a $170 64GB Apple TV will tickle your fancy, seeing as how it’s discounted by a rare $30 off its regular price. Ultra-affordable Android smartphone enthusiasts can perhaps pick up a Verizon prepaid Moto G4 Play at an all-time low $35, or if they’d rather go the unlocked route, a $100 Asus ZenFone 3 Max or $230 64GB Moto G4 Plus.
Meanwhile, the unlocked Sony Xperia XA and ZTE Axon 7 are not just $50 off, also hooking you up with free $50 and $30 gift cards respectively. Stylish wearable fans can save up to 60 percent on “select” Fossil Q Grant models, and last but not least, modular Moto Z phones purchased on Verizon monthly installment plans come with gratis speaker and battery charger add-ons, as well as $100 savings. Let’s just hope there’s still something in the bank after Black Friday… week.

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
