The phone is priced at Rs. 19,990 and packs in decent specifications for the asking price tag.

The display on the XA1 is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 3 technology.

Sony has gone with a MediaTek Helio P20 chipset, which is an octa-core chip with all the eight cores clocked at 2.3GHz. It has 3GB of RAM and 32GB of native storage, which is further expandable via a dedicated microSD card slot.

In terms of camera, the XA1 has a 23MP primary camera with PDAF, f/2.0 aperture, LED flash, and laser autofocus. Up front, there’s an 8MP camera that can capture wide-angle shots. Both the primary and front-facing camera are capable of recording 1080p videos.

The Xperia XA1 comes with a slew of connectivity options such as 4G LTE, VoLTE, Wi-Fi 802.11/b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.2, and a USB Type-C port for charging and data transfer. The phone boots Android Nougat based Xperia UI on top. It also has a fingerprint scanner embedded into the power button.
