Sony will launch a range of new smartphones at IFA this week, which will include the Sony Xperia Z3 and Sony Xperia Z3 Compact, and now we have details on another device, the Sony Xperia E3.
The Sony Xperia E3 is rumored to be a budget Android device, the handset will apparently come with a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor with a clock speed of 1.2GHz.
Specifications and Features
Other rumored specifications on the new Sony Xperia E3 include either 1.5GB or 2GB of RAM. The device is rumored to come with a 4.8-inch HD display, that will have a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels. This resolution should provide a decent viewing experience for a budget device, making it suitable for everyday tasks such as browsing the web, watching videos, and playing casual games.
As yet there are no details on what cameras the handset will come with, although we would expect at least a 5-megapixel rear camera, or possibly an 8-megapixel camera. A front-facing camera is also likely, catering to the growing trend of selfies and video calls. Given the budget nature of the device, the camera may not have all the high-end features found in flagship models, but it should be adequate for basic photography needs.
Software and Additional Features
The Sony Xperia E3 is expected to run on a version of Android, likely Android 4.4 KitKat, given the timing of its release. Sony typically includes its own custom user interface on top of Android, which may offer additional features and apps exclusive to Xperia devices. These could include Sony’s multimedia apps, such as Walkman for music, Album for photos, and Movies for video playback.
Battery life is another important aspect, especially for budget devices. While specific details about the battery capacity are not yet available, the combination of a Snapdragon 400 processor and a 720p display suggests that the Xperia E3 could offer decent battery life, potentially lasting a full day on a single charge with moderate use.
Connectivity options are likely to include the standard set of features such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS. There may also be support for 4G LTE networks, which would be a significant advantage for a budget device, allowing for faster internet speeds and better overall connectivity.
We will have more details about the new Sony Xperia E3, including a full list of specifications, and also some actual photos of the device, when it is made official at IFA this week.
