If you don’t like MediaTek processors, you’ll be happy to know that the next XA device will be getting a different chip.

The device was approved this week and it carries the model number H4233 including the actual Xperia XA2 Ultra name. Just like its predecessor, we expect a smaller XA2 (non-Ultra) to be announced as well.

In terms of specs, the same device had appeared on GeekBench which gives us a glimpse of its internal hardware. According to the listing, it will retain the same 6.0″ Full HD display and it will be powered by a 2.2GHz Octa-Core Snapdragon 630 processor that comes with an Adreno 508 GPU. As a comparison, the Xperia XA1 Ultra is currently running on a MediaTek Helio P20, while its previous model, the Xperia XA Ultra, is powered by a MediaTek Helio P10. The Xperia XA2 Ultra also gets 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage.

For photography, it appears to be getting a 21MP main camera that’s capable of shooting 4K videos, while the front gets a 16MP selfie shooter. Like its current flagship, the Xperia XZ1, it will run on Android 8.0 Oreo out of the box.
