Sony announced a new comer to it’s Xperia line-up with the Sony Xperia E and E dual. These smartphones are being introduced as affordable Android devices and the main difference between the two devices lies in the fact that the E dual supports dual SIM cards.
Both phones will have a 3.5-inch capacitive touch screen display and are powered by a single-core 1GHz processor, 512MB of RAM and 4GB of ROM expandable up to 32GB with microSD.
Software wise, the Sony Xperia E will come loaded with Android 4.1 Jelly Bean whereas the Xperia E dual will have Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. Why the difference between them? Not sure why, but rest assure the Xperia E dual will be updatable to Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. Actually, I just hope that both of them will get more upgrades in the future.
Aside this, the camera on these devices will be a 3.2 megapixel rear camera with auto-focus. In terms of connectivity, the Xperia phone will have 3G, Bluetooth, DLNA, GPS and Wifi. This Sony phone will also have a 3.5 mm audio jack and FM Radio.
