Sony's Xperia E3 is its next colorful, budget device


Not everyone needs a smartphone that's as fast (and as expensive) as their laptop, and competition in the affordable handset market is fierce. Never one to miss an opportunity, Sony has announced that it's complimenting the top-end Z3 handset with the more modestly endowed Xperia E3. Of course, that means compromising -- Sony says the E3 features "flagship design" and 4G capability, but that's where the high-end comparisons end. It carries a modest 4.5-inch, 854 x 480 screen, quad-core 1.2GHz Snapdragon 400 CPU, a 2,330 mAh battery, 1GB RAM, 4GB expandable memory and a 5-megapixel camera. Though the specs aren't exactly inspiring, Sony is emphasizing social and camera features like HDR and Timeshift burst. There's no word on pricing or availability yet, but we imagine its young target market will be able to afford it.
