1. More screen and resolution
The Sony Xperia XA1 landed on the market with a 5-inch screen and an HD resolution of 1,280 x 720 pixels. The Xperia XA2 offers a slightly higher panel. It has a size of 5.2 inches and a Full HD resolution. This means that any type of content will be better seen in this terminal, be it videos, pages or applications. But, in addition, its screen is protected by the Corning Gorilla Glass 4 system,which makes it more resistant to bumps, scratches or falls. The XA2 also uses triluminos technology, which provides more vivid and brilliant colors. It should be noted, on the other hand, that it also offers smart backlighting. Thanks to this function, the panel will stay on when we are holding the mobile with our hand, but it will turn off automatically when resting it on a flat surface. Of course, this will help us save battery.
When it comes to design, the Xperia XA2 has changed slightly from its predecessor. It is true that it continues to maintain a continuous design, but the rear has changed for the better. The lens is shown somewhat larger and more centered, with the camera flash just below. Next, a fingerprint reader is seen, which his older brother lacked. If we turn it around, we see a front with smaller frames on both sides of the screen. The overall appearance is more modern and current. Of course, the Xperia XA2 has gained in thickness and weight. While the XA1 is 7.9 millimeters thick and weighs 145 grams, the XA2 is 9.7 mm and weighs 171 grams.
2. Qualcomm processor
For this generation, Sony has relied on Qualcomm instead of MediaTek and has included a Snapdragon 630 processor, accompanied, again, by 3 GB of RAM. The internal storage capacity remains 32GB, expandable by using microSD-type cards. We are again, therefore, before a device capable of performing with popular applications, some more complex games and making use of several processes at the same time.
3. Front camera with 120 ° super wide angle
Although the Sony Xperia XA2's front camera has the same 8-megapixel resolution as the XA1, it came with a 120-degree wide-angle lens. This feature is perfect if you want to take group selfies, since you will not leave elements or any friends in the scene outside of your selfies. For its part, the main camera again has a resolution of 23 megapixels, hybrid autofocus and LED flash. Of course, this time it has a focal aperture of f / 2.3, instead of f / 2.0, and a 5x zoom.
4. Greater autonomy
Sony has included in the Xperia XA2 a greater autonomy than last year's model. Instead of re-equipping a 2,300 mAh battery, the company has included a 3,300 milliamp battery , which will assure us an hour or so of content. In addition, it has Quick Charge fast charging, so we can charge the device up to half with a half hour charge.
As for the connections there are also news. It has Bluetooth 5.0 instead of version 4.2. Otherwise it still maintains the GPS, the USB type C port, NFC, WiFi and LTE.
5. Android 8
Finally, the Sony Xperia XA2 comes with Android 8.0 as standard. This means that it is possible to enjoy some of the features and functions that landed with this version of the system. One of them is the Picture in Picture mode, which allows us to see the content of another application in a floating window. It also has smarter notifications, as well as a more minimalist design.
The Xperia XA2 is currently priced at 330 euros. For its part, the Xperia XA1 can be found right now for 250 euros.
