5th December 2012, Singapore – Sony Mobile Communications (“Sony Mobile”) today announced a new affordable addition to its Xperia™ smartphone range, Xperia™ E dual, Sony’s latest Android dual SIM smartphone which will be available from Q1 2013.
Xperia™ E dual is a compact and competitively priced smartphone that is engineered for simplicity. Available in champagne and black, the Xperia™ E dual boasts outstanding HD Voice quality that makes phone calls clearer than ever before. It also features noise cancellation that filters out background noise so consumers can hold crystal clear conversations in any environment.
Xperia™ E dual is 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 4 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.
With its dual SIM capability, the Xperia™ E dual allows consumers to easily switch between tariffs with just one touch to stay on the most cost effective plan.
“Consumers looking to take their first steps into the world of Xperia™ smartphones would be well advised to look at 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 Ola Lilja Molén, Head of SEA Markets at Sony Mobile Communications.
Xperia™ E dual 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 TV, tablet and PC with DLNA wireless connectivity.
