Alongside the introduction two flagship smartphones from Sony, the Xperia XZ1 and XZ1 Compact comes the Xperia XA1 Plus for their mid-range category. An inbetweener of the smaller Xperia XA1 and the gigantic Xperia XA1 Ultra.
Following the same design aesthetic as every Xperia smartphone, not much has changed in the Xperia XA1 Plus compared to the other Xperia XA1s. It still has the same MediaTek Helio P20 chipset and still runs on Android 7.0 Nougat.
The only notable difference between the three is the battery size, camera features, and display sizes and resolutions. Still a pretty nice addition for those looking for a little bit more or a little bit less from the other Xperia XA1s.
