Sony Xperia XA2 Plus specifications, features
The Xperia XA2 Plus is a smartphone powered by an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 630 SoC based on 14nm process with a maximum clock frequency of 2.2GHz. It comes with 6GB of RAM and 64GB internal storage. At the front, there is a 6-inch display with Full HD+ resolution of 2160×1080 pixels, Corning Gorilla Glass 5 protection and image enhancement support. The display supports taller 18:9 aspect ratio, and comes in three different colors: thermal green, gold and pure black.
Sony’s image sensors sit at the heart of almost every mainstream smartphone camera. With Xperia XA2 Plus, Sony has equipped the smartphone with a 23-megapixel main camera that supports scene recognition AI and can recognize up to 52 smart scenes. The feature sounds similar to what Samsung and Huawei have tried with their newest flagship devices.
The front camera, seems like an afterthought, with a modest 8-megapixel sensor with narrower f/2.4 aperture. The Xperia XA2 Plus measures 157x75x9.6mm in dimensions, and it weighs around 205 grams. The smartphone is backed by a 3,580mAh battery, and comes with support for Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0. Sony has also added its own battery management features that can enhance the battery life.

Sony Xperia XA2 Plus price
Sony Xperia XA2 Plus is priced at NT$15,990 in Taiwan. The price translates to around Rs 36,500 in India, which definitely makes it an overpriced smartphone.
