As expected, Sony has today announced three new entry-level and mid-range devices at CES 2018 in Las Vegas. The devices include Xperia XA2, XA2 Ultra and L2.

While the design of the phone appears similar to its predecessor, there are many welcome changes. The rear camera module, which used to take the top-left corner space, has now been moved to the centre-top. The fingerprint sensor has also found a place on the back panel.

For the XA2 series, the company has ditched MediaTek processor and has instead opted for Qualcomm‘s Snapdragon 630 chipset. While the Xperia XA2 features a 5.2-inch Full HD display, its bigger sibling XA2 Ultra comes with a 6-inch Full HD display.

The Xperia XA2 packs 3GB RAM and 32GB of internal storage, along with a microSD card slot for further expanding the storage capacity. On the other hand, the Xperia XA2 Ultra comes with 4GB RAM and two variants based on the internal storage — 32GB and 64GB. This one too comes with a microSD card slot for storage expansion.

Sony has always focused on the camera performance for the Xperia series and the XA2 and XA2 Ultra are no exception. Both devices feature a 23-megapixel camera sensor with f/2.0 aperture, hybrid autofocus and support for 4K video recording and 120fps slow-motion shooting.

On the front, the Xperia XA2 comes with an 8-megapixel ultra wide fixed-focus camera for taking selfies and video calling. The Xperia XA2 Ultra features a dual-camera setup on the front with an 8-megapixel camera sensor and a 16-megapixel camera sensor with less extreme FOV, 16:9 aspect ratio, autofocus, and optical image stabilisation (OIS).

Both devices are running Android 8.0 Oreo operating system out-of-the-box. While the XA2 is powered by a 3,300mAh battery, the XA2 Ultra is fuelled by a 3,580mAh battery. Both phones support Qualcomm’s Quick Charge 3.0 fast charging technology.

Along with the XA2-series, the company also announced a new entry-level phone — Sony Xperia L2. It features a 5.5-inch HD display with 1280 x 720 pixels screen resolution. It is powered by a 1.5GHz quad-core MediaTek MT6737T processor, coupled with 3GB RAM and 32GB internal storage with support for expanding storage using microSD card.

There is a 13-megapixel rear camera and an 8-megapixel front-facing camera. The phone features a fingerprint sensor on the back, same as XA2-series. It runs Android 7.1 Nougat operating system and is fuelled by a 3,300mAh battery.

Sony had debuted the Xperia L1 smartphone at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2017 event in February last year. Speculations are rife that the Japanese tech giant will unveil the Xperia L2 as its successor phone at the MWC 2018 that is scheduled to take place in the next month. Well-known leakster @OnLeaks has collaborated with CompareRaja to reveal the 360-degree renders of the upcoming Xperia L2 smartphone.

Among the Xperia smartphones that were launched in 2017, the Xperia L1 is the cheapest handset. The renders of the Xperia L2 suggest that it won’t be featuring a full screen design. The handset will be measuring 149.9 x 78.4 x 9.8 mm.  Compared to the Xperia L1 that measures 151 x 74 x 8.7 mm, the successor phone is likely to arrive with a slightly taller, wider and thicker chassis.

Like the Xperia L1, the L2 will be featuring a 5.5-inch display. The L1 supports HD resolution. However, there are no details available on the screen resolution of the Xperia L2. The L1 is driven by MediaTek MT6737T chipset and 2 GB of RAM. However, the L2 is speculated to be powered by Snapdragon 630 chipset and 4 GB of RAM. It will come pre-installed with Android Nougat OS. There is no information available on the other specs of the phone.

The renders suggest that the Xperia L2 will be featuring a single camera on its rear panel. It seems to be featuring a side-mounted fingerprint scanner. The overall design of the phone does not seem to deviate much from the predecessor. The only good thing about the Xperia L2 is that it will be arriving with upgraded specifications. Even though the phone is rumored to debut at MWC 2018, the publication speculates that it may get unveiled at Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2018 in the next week.
