Sony has launched its the Xperia XA Ultra in India today which features a 16MP front-facing camera with Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) and selfie flash.

The Xperia XA Ultra continues the same thin bezel design of the Xperia XA which allows for an almost borderless 6-inch 1080p display which curves slightly at the sides. Under the hood you will find the octa-core MediaTek Helio P10 MT6755 processor running the show with 3GB RAM and 16GB expandable storage.

Sony has also packed its 21.5MP Exmor RS sensor for the rear Camera which can record 1080p videos at 30FPS although unlike the front camera, the rear camera doesn't come equipped with OIS. But you do get hybrid autofocus for the back camera which has been proven to be quite quick.
