Sony Xperia XA
RM 916.00
Price last checked: 26 Jan 2019. Confirm current price before buying.
Sony Xperia XA price in Malaysia starts from RM916, positioning it as a budget mid-ranger built around the Mediatek Helio P10 chipset and Mali-T860MP2 GPU. That's paired with 2 GB RAM and 16 GB storage, which is tight by today's standards but expandable through a dedicated microSD slot up to 256 GB. The 5.0-inch IPS LCD screen runs at 720 x 1280 pixels, translating to roughly 294 ppi, sharp enough for everyday browsing and video without being a standout.
Camera-wise, there's a 13 MP rear shooter with phase detection autofocus and LED flash, plus an 8 MP front camera that also gets autofocus and HDR support, unusual for a selfie camera at this level. The 2300 mAh battery is on the smaller side, so heavy users will notice it drains faster than phones with bigger cells.
It launched on Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow with a planned bump to Nougat, and it comes in White, Graphite Black, Lime Gold and Rose Gold. NFC, GPS with GLONASS, and LTE Cat4 round out the connectivity, useful extras for a phone in this price bracket.
