As we reported earlier, Sony is all set to release its Xperia C mid-range Android smartphone in the Indian market. The phone is currently on pre-order at Flipkart and Saholic.com for INR 20,490 with expected availability of next week.
Originally announced in June this year, Sony Xperia C is the first smartphone from the company to come with a MediaTek SoC. It packs a 5-inch display, 8MP camera and Android 4.2. You can check key specifications later in the post.
Sony Xperia C will be competing with Samsung’s Galaxy Grand Duos smartphone in the country, which has turned out to be quite popular thanks to its affordable pricing and 5-inch display.
Xperia C will be released in White, Black and Purple colour options.

That’s a lie! Its MRP is Rs20490/-, once it’s available everywhere it will sell for like 18-19k phones…
These days phones on preorder before launch in market get no discounts!
Seems to be expensive when compared to Galaxy Grand as Grand has 8GB internal Memory as compared with 4GB in this one and also Grand is now available at 17.5K approx. The only better thing is this has quad core and grand has dual core.
ok so the phone is 960 x 540 Pixels and has a TFT screen.
Not worth the price
disappointed ! only thing distinguishing this from other made in china, rebranded in India phones is the extra 4000 in price and “sony” tag . what were they thinking ?
come on sony . . . start an exchange offer and give 7000 discount on this after a month !
it comes with android 4.2.2. correct your mistake
Fixed..Thanks for pointing out.
Mediatek quadcore proved to be faster than Samsung’s Broadcom dual core. Sony also has better 2390 mAh battery which is not mentioned here. 720p and 1080p screens are just marketing gimmicks, please don’t fall for them. Hi-res screens drain the battery much quicker. Only the 4 point multi touch in this is worrying! Let’s wait and watch how it performs!
firstly it has a 5 point multi touch! secondly, do u use so many fingers on a phone together? Coz I am a techsavvy geek who is a very hardcore user yet I havent used more than 4 fingers on the screen. I have had many fingers on the screen but inly used 3max while even gaming….
Rest of your facts remain true though(about battery n prosscr)!!!
At 20+ grands, most will prolly opt for the Xperia SP or the Galaxy SIII. Priced at 15-16K, this would have knocked the stuffing out of the Canvas 4, Titanium S9, Pinnacle FHD etc. not to mention the bewilderingly low specced Galaxy Grand Quattro!
sony is far behind in the race.. the phone should have been priced near 15k
Its MRP is Rs20490/-, once it’s available everywhere it will sell for like 18-19k or even less…

This atleast isn’t a rebranded phone! coz chinese phones don’t come with onscreen buttons and such form factor n build quality!
Anyways mediatek quadcore is way better than broadcomm dualcore! So this phones main competition galaxy grand is taken care of…
Only problem on this phone is 4gb internal…
But I believe Sony will this year launch a move apps to sd card update and fix this issue!!!
