SONY INTRODUCES THE COST CONSCIOUS XPERIA E3


Sony has announced its latest budget smartphone, the Xperia E3. According to Sony, the Xperia E3 provides unmatched entertainment with features including creative camera apps. It also allows consumers to experience all its features in full throttle. With a quality flagship design body to complement, Xperia E3 is the ultimate smartphone for consumers, without an expensive price tag.
Calum MacDougall, Director of Product Marketing, at Sony Mobile said: “We’re pleased to introduce Xperia E3, a handset that matches form with function at an affordable price point. The Xperia E3 combines fast performance with impressive features, all wrapped in our flagship Z series design that you can be proud to show off.”
According to Sony, the Xperia E3 features a 4.5″ display, Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor with quad-core 1.2 GHz CPUs allowing you to load all your movies, music and games instantly without any interruptions. Additionally, the 5 megapixel camera with HDR allows you to capture photos even with back light and to record HD videos.
The device features creative camera apps such as Timeshift burst and AR effect take your photos beyond the same old filters. Consumers can also download new AR fun to mix reality with 3D effects that change as you move the camera. Share your videos live to Facebook via the Social live app or to YouTube via the Live on YouTube – by Xperia app.
To add to the features, the E3’s ’shake to start’ app lets you customise shortcuts to any app. With a simple flick of the wrist you can launch or open Facebook, making accessing your favourite apps easier than ever. The ‘shake to start’ app allows you to control your phone in new ways.

ANDROID 4.3 APPROVED FOR SONY Xperia M

We have some good news for the Sony Xperia M owners. Even though the company is going to launch the Xperia M2 very soon, Sony hasn't forgotten its predecessor.
Apparently Sony has been working on Android 4.3 Jelly Bean firmware update and it will soon begin rolling out. The first country to get it should be France as the SFR carrier has already approved the ROM recently.
Vodafone Australia has also shared it is testing the new firmware on its Xperia M version and if everything goes without hiccups, the Android 4.3 Jelly Bean for the Australian Xperia M should be out soon too.
So, Sony seems to be finished developing the update and hopefully it will reach all Xperia M units around the globe in the next couple of weeks. According to the SFR changelog the new update will bring your Xperia M Android 4.3 Jelly Bean, faster UI, updated multimedia apps (Walkman, Album, Movies), Xperia Themes and better bookmark management in Chrome.
There is no word if the Xperia M will be getting the KitKat treatment later this year as its Xperia M2 successor.
