The price revealed is a significant jump from that of the Xperia XA2 Plus, and while the hardware specs are not clear, it is expected to offer something in return for the premium it will reportedly charge.
Key Highlights:
- Sony will announce its 2019 mid-range lineup of smartphones at CES 2019 in January
- The price of the Xperia XA3 Plus was revealed in a new report, which is significantly higher than its predecessor
- The same report also mentioned the Xperia XA3 Plus will be offered in three colour variants — Black, Gold and Silver
Sony has made it a habit to launch its mid-range and entry-level lineup of smartphones at CES every year. The Sony Xperia XA2 lineup was announced in January at CES in Las Vegas, and the successor Xperia XA3 range is likely to be announced in the next few weeks at the same event. Now, a new leak from a news blog citing sources claimed the Xperia XA3 Plus will be priced at EUR 519 (approximately Rs 42,000) in European markets.
The price revealed is a significant jump from that of the Xperia XA2 Plus, and while the hardware specs are not clear, it is expected to offer something in return for the premium it will reportedly charge. What’s known so far is that the Xperia XA3 Plus will tout a 6-inch display with Full HD+ resolution and “18:9 or higher aspect ratio”. It may or may not have a notch on the display. Considering the present Xperia XA2 is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 630 chipset, the successor may be powered by something more high-end.
The Xperia XA3 Plus will reportedly be offered in three colours — Black, Gold and Silver.
The report further states Sony will launch the Xperia L3 at CES 2019 as well. It will allegedly sport a 5.7-inch HD+ display with 18:9 aspect ratio. There might be a dual camera unit at the back, and a side-mounted fingerprint sensor. Both phones are expected to be powered by Android 9.0 Pie.
Earlier reports have revealed Sony will also announced the Xperia XA3 Ultra alongside the regular Xperia XA3. Both phones were spotted on a Russian certification site. Early renders of the two phones had revealed thin bezels, side-mounted fingerprint sensor and a 3.5mm headphone jack. From the renders, it seemed like the phone had a glass back.
