Video: Sony Xperia XA Prototype Appears ahead of MWC 2017

Sony is expected to announce around five new devices in Barcelona next month at the Mobile World Congress trade show, and one of those new phones has just appeared in video form over on YouTube. Thanks to YouTuber TechLoverHD, who seems to have gotten his hands on a prototype of the Sony Xperia XA (2017) we can take a look at what we may be seeing in a few weeks time from Sony. The Xperia XA (2017) doesn’t appear to have gotten a major overhaul in terms of the design. It still has somewhat large bezels, especially on the top and bottom of the device. This particular device is the G3121, it’s unclear if that is the model number of the device that will be unveiled in a few weeks or not. It also has a 23-megapixel camera, and that’s it for the specs that were shown off in the video.
In the video, it does show that it is running on Android 7.0 Nougat, along with the January 5th, 2017 security patch, so it is a fairly recent prototype, at least the software is fairly recent. The device appears to be using a more of a matte color on the back and sides, something that we saw with the Xperia XZ and other Xperia X series devices that the company launched last year. The Xperia XA was a mid-range device last year, and it looks like the successor is going to step things up a bit, since it does have a 23-megapixel sensor inside.
Sony has already announced their press conference for Mobile World Congress, which actually takes place on the first day of the show. The company will likely only show off smartphones and tablets, seeing as they showed off all of their other products at CES 2017 earlier this month in Las Vegas. Since MWC is geared more towards mobile, it makes sense for them to release about five smartphones at the show, which is what they did last year as well. You can check out the video of the Sony Xperia XA (2017) prototype down below. It’s a pretty short, 2-minute video.

EVERYTHING WE KNOW ABOUT THE PIXEL 4, THE MOST-LEAKED PHONE EVER

Image
Google’s  Pixel 3 might have been the  most-leaked phone in history . Long before its unveiling, we knew practically everything about it from unboxing videos, photo comparisons, even a full review of the device. Surely, for the Pixel 4, Google would clamp down on leaks to leave some surprises for its debut on  October 15th , right? Let’s just say, if that was the plan, it didn’t exactly work out. We’ve now seen the Pixel 4 XL from every angle and in three different colors. At least seven different sources have touched this phone, many of them confirming the same specs. We not only know which cameras it’ll have, but also what they may be capable of, including air gestures (go figure). That doesn’t even count information Google has already shared  on purpose. So if you want to know almost everything about the Pixel 4 nearly a month before it’s announced, buckle up. We’ve sifted through all of the rumors and information we can find to compile everything we know —...

UPDATE  1 : 2019/12/16 4:35AM PST Previous rollouts UPDATE  2 : 2020/01/06 2:15AM PST Canada Two weeks after the  Galaxy S10 line received its stable One UI 2.0 build , it’s time for the Galaxy Note10 and Note10+ to get the latest Android flavor. According to a report by  SamMobile , the two late-2019 Samsung flagships are receiving the Android 10 update in Germany, although the rollout is limited to a small group of beta testers. This stable release follows a  five-round beta testing  that concluded just a couple of days ago. Samsung is rolling out the stable build only to its beta testers in Germany to possibly look out for any major bug. Besides SamMobile, the confirmation also comes from  some Redditors  who got the update in Germany just a few hours back. The same Reddit users also mention that Google Pay remains broken even after installing this final Android 10 firmware, although it wasn’t immediately clear how widespread t...
