Sony Xperia XA3 renders show dual camera on the back, 3.5mm jack on top

02 October 2018
Also, a side-mounted fingerprint reader. Those are three things that the Xperia XZ3 does not have.

Phone Guru, 04 Oct 2018People are beginning to move from dual camera to triple and... moreThey're moving to more camera trend for the sake of doing it, not actually improving the overall experience.
For instance, manufacturers could've achieved the same, or even better telephoto results, with a single large sensor with adequately high resolution. 40MP 1/1.7" sensor could be downscaled up to 5x without any major loss in quality, but OEMs pursue to put mediocre tiny secondary cameras instead of actually making the primary one a great one.

4 cameras is just a whole new level of insanity. A great software doesn't need an unnecessary depth sensor to achieve natural background blur effect. Google Camera from the Pixel 2 (which is now being widely ported to hundreds of other Android devices) proves how much a great processing can do. Even Apple figured this out and decided to use just one camera for taking portraits.
Wide angle is probably the only thing that would make sense to me, so why do most flagships make telephoto as secondary camera instead of this??


Now let's move to TVs. I have seen curved and flat TVs side-by-side, and for the most part, both do the same exact job, but the flat one allows the viewers to see the display even at near 180° viewing angle. The curved TV makes the viewing angle to be practically less than what the flat screen offers. Sure it looks nice, but it's all about a choice; looks or function. Besides, what would I need a curved TV for?? Like I've said, it pretty much has no difference as to a flat TV, but price increases for the idea, so congratulations for overpaying for what you'd actually use your TV for.


They took longer to respond to bezel less, but they did it well. This XA3 rendering just shows how fantastic their own engineering is. And would you please try to applaud the lack of notch for a short moment??


When talking about 'overpriced,' Apple simply can't be defeated. A $900 XZ3 already gives me a QHD+ HDR OLED screen and 3210mAh battery, while a $1400 Xs Max barely has passes FHD+ and a tiny 3200mAh battery (average endurance).

    Phone Guru, 04 Oct 2018People are beginning to move from dual camera to triple and... moreYeah, and a lot of the dual cameras aren't used properly. They're either a useless depth sensor or a mediocre telephoto. Theres only a handful of manufactures that are making good dual camera phones. There's a reason why the pixel has still one of the best cameras you can find.

      People are beginning to move from dual camera to triple and quad camera set up. Sony always very late due to lack of innovation. Same thing is happening in their television industry, they couldn't put out a curve display television. They couldn't trim their mobile bezels cause they lack innovation. Sony over priced and over hyped company. Selling products off past glory..

        After doing some math, I guess it's gonna be 5,8" 19,5:9.
        That way the measurements and the render image fit

            Second, who even plays MKX Mobile? The console and PC version is way more fun (obviously)

            Third, my brother has the XA1, and his battery is fine, he just doesn't game

                      I think Sony can improve their sales if they make there new smart phones slim,as they were earlier.

                          Zoso, 03 Oct 2018Not much point in stereo speakers an inch apart. I doubt those are stereo speakers. Have you seen the iPhone? One is a speaker, second is a microphone (I think)

                                        Looking at this rendering, it appears that there's actually a button above the power button/fingerprint scanner. It would be weird that they would make a separate button for the power key instead of merging it into the scanner, but it would be weird to have a camera shutter key in that location as well. This may not be the final one, or maybe just an error in the creator's part.
