Underneath the metal body, however, the XA2 Plus repeats a lot of what we saw in previous models, bringing 4GB of RAM, 64GB of storage, 3580mAh of battery, Android 8.0 Oreo and the Snapdragon 630 as a processor. Despite not being the most recent chip in the line, the U chosen by Sony it worked out quite well Xperia XA2 Ultra, which performed well in our analysis.

Besides the  6 inches with IPS technology and Full HD + resolution, Sony also included a new image enhancement system in the device, capable of making the black tones deeper and emitting more brightness when necessary.

Although not the most modern on the market, the rear camera should produce good results, in addition to recording videos in 4K and HDR.
