Clearly not happy with just the one smartphone announcement today, Sony has lifted the lid on the Xperia E1, a four-inch handset.
This is a mid-tier handset that’s focussed on delivering great sound quality for all you music lovers. The company claims that the built-in 100Db speaker can block out a motorcycle. That’s something we’ll be eager to put to the test.
The Xperia E1 will also include a ClearAudo + mode to allow you to tinker with your sound and get it pitch-perfect. It also focuses on user experience, with shake-to-shuffle controls and a dedicated Walkman button. You’ll even get 30 days of Sony’s Music Unlimited streaming service for free to try it all out.
In terms of specs, it boasts a 1.2GHz dual core processor with 512 MB RAM and 4GB of storage. That’s noticeably below the T1, then, but we guess audio isn’t as processor-heavy as a huge HD screen. Oh, there’s a dual SIM version too.
We don’t have details on a price just yet but Sony has confirmed to us that the handset will be here in Q1 2014 so expect it in the next two months.
