Full List Best Custom ROMs For Xperia XA Ultra | Android Marshmallow, Nougat and Oreo: Sony launched two mid-range variants last year, the Xperia XA and the Xperia XA Ultra. As the name suggests, the Xperia XA Ultra is the larger device among the two with 6 inch Full HD display while the Xperia XA has a smaller 5 inch HD screen. Both the devices are powered by Octa-core MediaTek Processors but the Xperia XA has only 2GB of RAM while the XA Ultra comes with 3GB of RAM.

The only similar thing between these two devices is that they both were running the same version of Android, Android Marshmallow 6.0 at the time of the launch. But they were updated to Android 7.0 Nougat most recently after the official release by Google. However, this might probably be the last version of the official software update that the Xperia XA1 and the Xperia XA1 Ultra might get. It is not certain whether they will be receiving the latest version of Android Oreo or not.
