Sony has revealed that an all-new phablet will be joining its Xperia range of mobile devices. The phablet will be in the form of the Xperia XA Ultra, a mid-range device with one big headline feature.
It's a larger version of the firm's XA handset that uses a 6ins display but keeps the same 1080p full HD resolution rather than stepping things up to quad-HD. Overall, the way the device looks – apart from being larger – is the same. It's got the same edge-to-edge, almost curved at the edges display panel and square body outline.
