The Mobile arm of the Japanese consumer electronics behemoth, Sony, on Tuesday unveiled the new 6.0-inch phablet — Xperia XA Ultra.

Its 21.5MP primary camera on the back is also equally impressive and comes with Sony's Exmor RS sensor, ½.4-inch lens, HDR photo, 5x Clear Image Zoom, Auto-Scene Recognition, Hybrid Autofocus and quick launch option.

Other stipulated features include 6.0-inch full HD display, Android Marshmallow, MediaTek Helio P10 octa-core SoC (System-on-Chip), 3GB RAM, 16GB inbuilt storage and a 2700mAh battery, which can keep the Sony phone running for close to two days.
