"We’re excited to bring such a strong mid-range product to the market that is packed with Sony Mobile’s exceptional Xperia camera technology and impressive performance features, housed in a sleek, intuitive design,” said John Featherstone, Managing Director, Sony Mobile Communications Oceania.

“This is just the first of several incredible devices joining the Xperia portfolio this year, and we can’t wait for Australians to experience it.”

The 5.2-inch Sony XA2 features a 23-megapixel rear camera with a larger 1/2.3-inch Exmor RS image sensor and support for both 4K video recording and 120FPS slow-motion video capture.  On the selfie side of things, the XA2 touts an 8-megapixel sensor that's paired up with a wide-angle lens.
