Amidst the frenzy going on regarding the launch of Android One devices in the country, Sony has quietly launched the Xperia E3 and E3 dual in India for Rs 11,990 and Rs 12,990 respectively. The mid range offerings will be taking on the other mid rangers like the Moto G (2nd Gen) and a slew of other budget quad cores. Its specifications are somewhat closely matched to the Android One devices and it costs twice as much. Let us take a look at their specifications:
- 4.5 inch capacitive display with a resolution of 854 x 480 pixels
- 1.2 GHz quad-core Snapdragon processor
- Adreno 305 GPU
- 1GB RAM
- Android 4.4 KitKat
- 4GB internal storage capacity which is expandable by up to 32GB with a microSD card
- 5MP rear camera with LED flash and a VGA front camera
- 3G HSPA+, Bluetooth 4.0, Wi-Fi, GPS with aGPS and Dual SIM connectivity
- 2330 mAh battery with STAMINA Mode
- Colours: Black, White and Lime for the E3 Dual, Black and White for E3
- Rs 12,990/Rs 11,990
So if you can compromise a bit on the processor (Android One devices have a Mediatek unit), you can save yourself the money to buy 2 Android One smartphones instead.
