A 100db speaker for £134.99 on Sony’s latest budget offering
Just after CES and the Xperia Z1s, Sony dropped word of a couple of more budget oriented devices, including the Xperia E1. This 4-inch Android smartphone has a party piece around back, and has been priced – without a firm release date – for the UK by online retailer Clove Technology at £134.99. Music seems to be the focus with the Xperia E1, with that pretty insane sounding 100db speaker around back, and a dedicated Walkman button.
The budget smartphone space has been getting pretty hot of late. With Nokia releasing low priced Lumia devices, and the current king the Moto G, folks who want to spend less are getting more bang for their buck than ever before. The E1 doesn’t match the Moto G on outright hardware and software, with a Snapdragon 200, a 480×800 resolution display and Android 4.3, but Sony is offering its own unique taste on a low-cost phone. Current estimates on UK availability suggest April, and you can pre-order a SIM free version at the source link below.
