Sony had announced the Xperia XA2 and Xperia XA2 Ultra smartphones through the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) January this year. The XA2 came with a 5.2-inch display whereas the Xperia XA2 Ultra featured a 6-inch screen. The Sony Xperia XA2 Plus handset with 6-inch display was announced in September. Rumors are rife that the Japanese tech giant will be announcing new smartphones at the beginning of the coming year. According to Droid Shout, Sony will be announcing Sony Xperia XA3, Xperia XA3 Plus and Xperia L3 at (CES) 2019 show. The publication has also shared the color variants and pricing of the upcoming large-sized Xperia XA model.
Multiple leaks have claimed that the Sony Xperia XA3 Ultra will be launching alongside Xperia XA3 and Xperia L3 at CES 2019. However, the publication has mentioned XA3 Plus instead of XA3 Ultra as the one of the Sony devices that are pegged to go official at CES 2019. Could this mean that Sony will releasing the Xperia XA3 Plus instead of XA3 Ultra? Newer leaks are expected to confirm on the names of the Sony phones that will be announced at CES 2019.
The publication has claimed that the handset will be carrying a price tag of 519 euros (~$595) in Europe. Also, the handset will be announced in color options such as Black, Gold and Silver.
There is no information available on the specifications of the Xperia XA3 Plus. The handset is expected to feature an 18:9 aspect ratio display like its predecessor. The Xperia XA2 Plus has Snapdragon 630 onboard. Hence, it is likely that the Japanese tech giant may opt for a more SoC such as Snapdragon 636 or Snapdragon 660 or higher. The Sony Xperia XA3 will be featuring smaller display, lesser RAM, smaller storage and a weaker battery than its larger sibling. However, it could be powered by the same SoC. The handset was spotted on Geekbench a few months ago with Snapdragon 660 chipset onboard.
The Sony Xperia L3 will be an entry-level smartphone. The handset is rumored to feature a 5.7-inch display that supports HD+ resolution and 18:9 aspect ratio.
