After such an exciting announcement of Xiaomi Mi3 in India i was literally jumping in happiness. But then again… no happiness lasts long. And the reason of this loss of happiness is this Sony Xperia C3. You know it might look like a brand new phone with a tag line from Sony that says “The world’s best selfie smartphone” because it comes with something called ‘PROselfie Cam’ and several selfie apps.
That’s what i call overuse of the word selfie. Like i said it looks like a brand new phone but it is really not. Inside it is still using the same old pathetic Snapdragon 400 chipset.
Key specs of Sony Xperia C3
- 5.5 inch IPS LCD display of HD resolution and 267ppi. Mobile Bravia Engine 2 and Triluminous technology.
- Snapdragon 400 Chipset, Quadcore Cortex A7 CPU clocked at 1.2GHz and Adreno 305GPU
- 8GB internal storage and 1GB of RAM.
- Android 4.4.2 KitKat
- 8MP rear facing camera with auto focus and LED flash, 5MP ‘PROSelfie’ front camera with separate soft LED flash.
- Weighs approx 150g and only 7.6mm thick
- Dual sim, bluetooth 4.0, 3G/4G/LTE, WiFi
- Battery 2500 mAh, suggested talk-time 11 hours on 2G and 25 hours on 3G.
- Price 20,000-22,000 Rupees(estimated).
I am pretty sure despite of having same overused chipset and 8MP camera that most Sony android phones have around 20,000 Rupees. Sony is going to ask for price of more than 20,000 Rupees for this phone too just because of its ‘PROSelfie’ camera and 5.5 inches HD display. Official price and availability in India has not been announced by Sony yet.
