*Sony’s 📱 mid-range XA2 and XA2 Ultra leak w/ rear fingerprint 😱 sensors ahead of CES 2018*

Sony's smartphone design has been criticized for stagnating in recent years and that's unlikely to change, at least on the low and mid-range.

According to leaks of the Xperia XA2, XA2 Ultra, and L2, there are only some minor changes to these possibly CES-bound devices.

The former gets a sizable screen upgrade from 5-inch 720p to 5.2-inch 1920 x 1080, while the latter will continue to offer the same resolution at 6-inches.

The most interesting change sees Sony drop its long-running power button fingerprint sensor for a circular rear scanner under the camera lens.

While the XA1 line did not have a fingerprint sensor, this could be indicative of a shift on Sony's more premium smartphones.
