The device’s rear camera is a 23-megapixel sensor with f/2.0 aperture and fast autofocus, while the front-facing camera is a selfie beast with its 16-megapixel 1/2.6 Exmor RS sensor with optical image stabilization, plus a front-facing flash. The device comes with Android 7.0 Nougat out of the box.

Like the XA1, the XA1 Ultra also supports Freedom Mobile’s Band 66 LTE, adding yet another option to the company’s budding group of LTE-ready offerings.

While neither Freedom Mobile or Videotron have announced pricing for the Sony XA1 Ultra, it’ll presumably be more than the XA1, which is about $320 outright in Canada.
