Sony has launched the Xperia E1, a follow-up to the entry-level Xperia E, which was launched last year. The E1 will be available in single-SIM and dual-SIM configurations, with the former priced at Rs 9,490 and the latter at Rs 10,490. The single-SIM version will go on sale on March 10, followed by the dual-SIM variant, Xperia E1 dual, on March 25. Weighing in at 120 g, the E1 is chunky at 12 mm thickness and will be available in signature Sony colours – black, purple and white.
The E1 has a 4-inch display with WVGA resolution (800×480), which is the norm for this price point. That results in a pixel density of around 233 ppi. The Xperia E1 is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 200 1.2 GHz dual-core processor and boasts 512 MB RAM. The phones run Android 4.3 Jelly Bean, with Sony’s custom UI. Add to that a 1700 mAh battery and Sony’s Stamina mode, and you could be looking at more than day-long battery life. The battery is rated for up to 9 hours of talk time, and 551 hours of standby time.
Looks just like any other Sony phone
The Xperia E1 sports a 3-megapixel rear camera, but there’s no front camera despite the presence of 3G support. So this means you cannot make video calls on the E1. The back camera is capable of shooting 720p videos though.
Sony has infused the E1 with some of the best audio technology and it could be called an Android Walkman phone. The speaker is touted to deliver 100Db of sound, thanks to which Sony claims “even a motorcycle won’t interrupt your music.” You also get the ClearAudio+ technology as well as xLOUD, which are normally reserved for higher-end phones. Thanks to Sony’s Walkman technology, users get some extra features when it comes to music playback. For example, they can shake the phone to shuffle the playlist, and there’s a dedicated Walkman button for quick access to your tracks.
