Sony Mobile Communications has announced a new affordable addition to its Xperia smartphone range, Xperia E. Sony’s latest Android smartphone will be available in both single and dual SIM versions from Q1 2013.

Xperia E is a compact and competitively priced smartphone that is engineered for simplicity. Xperia E boasts outstanding HD Voice quality that makes phone calls clearer. It also features noise cancellation that filters out background noise so consumers can hold conversations in any environment.
Xperia E has also been designed to let consumers stay on top of cost and power consumption. The data usage application monitors how much is being spent and the extended standby mode increases the standby time up to four times.
When the screen has been in sleep mode for a few minutes, Wi-Fi and data traffic will be disabled and most applications will be inactive to save battery life. However, calling and messaging will continue to work as normal. Once you touch the screen to wake the device up from standby, all functions are back to normal.
It will also be available in a dual SIM version – Xperia E dual – so that consumers can easily switch between tariffs with just one touch to stay on the most cost effective plan.
“Consumers looking to take their first step into the world of Xperia smartphones would be well advised to look at Xperia E or Xperia E dual. They are perfect for those seeking affordable access to the quality and functionality more traditionally associated with high-end Android smartphones,” said Calum MacDougall, Director Xperia Marketing at Sony Mobile Communications.
Xperia E comes equipped with superior sound quality with the in-built ”WALKMAN” application that includes xLOUD™ audio technology, 3D surround sound and a manual equalizer. Consumers can also easily view and share their content on a TV, tablet and PC with DLNA wireless connectivity.
