Will you buy it at that price?
Remember Sony’s mid-range Xperia XA1 Plus, the one that we saw back in IFA a month ago? Well, Sony Philippines has finally given it a local price along with a local release. The phone, sporting skinny side bezels (but humongous top and bottom ones) is patterned after Sony’s Xperia XA1 (duh) with a bigger battery.
