Sony has announced its Xperia XA, Xperia X and Xperia X Performance February last year and now an upcoming smartphone from the Japanese tech giant has been spotted. It was speculated to be Xperia XA's second generation and it is anticipated to make its first appearance at Mobile Word Congress (MWC) 2017.

According to Startl Tech, it was way back in December that the first images of rumored Sony Xperia XA second generation have been spotted. The smartphone's pictures looked like the Xperia XA handset and, seemingly, would be featuring a five-inch display. Now, new images of the device have surfaced and it was now predicted to be presented at the exhibition MWC 2017.

Furthermore, Android Headlines stated that the shape of the speculated Sony Xperia XA second generation is easily recognizable and this device will feature slim side bezels. Its display will be ever-so-slightly curved or at least it appears like it.

The Type-C port is positioned at the bottom of the device and it substitutes the microUSB port that has existed on the first-gen Xperia XA. Unluckily, it is not yet confirmed if the gadget will be having a fingerprint scanner positioned on the back portion of the allegedly successor of Xperia XA.

It can be remembered that the Sony Xperia XA is a budget device that boasts a 5-inch 720p (1280 x 720) display, along with 2GB of RAM and 16GB of expandable internal storage. The smartphone is engineered by Helio P10 64-bit octa-core processor and is powered by 2,300mAh battery. As for the camera department, Sony Xperia XA housed a 13-megapixel snapper and an 8-megapixel front-shooter.

As of the moment, Sony hasn't confirmed if the leaked render of its upcoming smartphone is really the Xperia XA second generation or maybe a different handset. With this, the company's avid fans are urged to keep an eye until the Japanese tech affirms these speculations at least during the MWC 2017.
