Sony's latest compact Xperia XA1 smartphone is now confirmed to launch next month in Europe and the good thing is it isn't expensive as it was believed. The UK-based retailer Clove has just confirmed that Sony's mid-range Android smartphone is available for order and that it will start shipping all orders on April 10, two weeks earlier than expected.

The phone is priced at £229 ($280) and is available in four different colors, including Black, Gold, Pink, and White.
