Sony Xperia E1 launched as mid range audio focused smartphone

Sony has launched a new mid-range smartphone called the Sony Xperia E1, which it claims will be “the best in its class”.

Aiming to complement the high-end Sony Xperia Z1, the Android 4.3 Jelly Bean Xperia E1 smartphone focuses on its Sony Walkman heritage as it offers a 100dB speaker and 30 days free access to the Sony Entertainment network.

“Xperia E1 combines the best of Sony’s audio technologies with a premium design and great hardware to create a smartphone for people who want to express them out loud,” said Calum MacDougall, Director of Sony Xperia Marketing. “It’s a new, music focused player in our Xperia line-up that is underpinned by the best of Sony’s design, display and content offers.”

Sony Xperia E1 Features

The Sony Xperia E1 features a 4-inch 800 x 480p HD resolution display running Google’s Android 4.3 Jelly Bean OS.

It has a 1.2GHz Qualcomm MSM8210 dual-core processor with 512MB of RAM and 4GB of internal storage boosted by a microSD slot supporting cards up to 32GB.

In the rear is a 3-megapixel camera, offering 720p HD video recording and a 4x “smooth zoom”. It seems to lack a front-facing camera for any kind of video calling or selfie action.

The Xperia E1 brings back the dedicated Walkman button, shake to shuffle controls and you’ll get access to a free 30 day pass for Sony’s Entertainment Network music streaming service. It also comes pre-installed with the Sony Walkman app.

Weighing only 120g, the Xperia E1 has 3G, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity.

Sony Xperia E1 Release Date and Price

Sony says the handset will retail for €175 (£145), and will be released around the end of MWC 2014 in February. It will be available in black, white and purple.

Google Nexus 8 launch scheduled for mid 2014

The Google Nexus 8 has been tipped to launch later this year by upstream supply chain sources.

Google could launch an 8-inch Nexus tablet in the middle of this year in order to break free of the rammed 7-inch tablet market.

According to DigiTimes sources, Google has seen demand for the Google Nexus 7 2 impacted by the vast amount of competing 7-inch tablets on the market.

Due to this, Google is looking to focus on 8-inch alternatives for 2014, or so say sources from “the upstream supply chain”.

The original Nexus 7’s six million unit shipments has not been matched by the second-generation 7-inch Nexus tablet, so Google will launch the Nexus 8 to match the offering from Apple’s iPad mini 2 Retina display.

Apparently, Google has already partnered with Intel for the Nexus 8, which will therefore adopt an Intel Bay Trail processor. Of course, Qualcomm is rumoured to be trying to squash the deal.

Google’s Research and Development partner is tipped to be Asustek Computer, which is already responsible for the Nexus 7 and Nexus 7 2013.

The sources also suggest there will be more information surround the Google Nexus 8 in February, so we’ll keep you posted.

The Nexus 7 2 currently offers a 7-inch 1920 x 1200p Full HD display with a 323ppi image density protected by Corning glass.

Running on a 1.5GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro processor, it has 2GB of RAM alongside the usual Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, NFC and 4G connectivity.

It has a 5-megapixel camera in the rear and 1.2-megapixels in the front for video calling.

Sony Xperia G mid range device leaked ahead of potential MWC launch

The Sony Xperia G mid-range smartphone has been leaked online ahead of a potential MWC launch.

According to a tweet from prolific tech tipster @vizileaks, the Sony Xperia G will be the mid-range device to launch at MWC alongside the high-end Sony Xperia Z2.

The Xperia G has been spotted before in leaked benchmarks with specs very similar to the Motorola Moto G.

From the leaked photograph, the Sony Xperia G looks to offer a screen size of around 4.6- or 4.8-inches. It is seen with what looks to be the 5-inch Sony Xperia Z1, which makes us believe it has such a screen size.

However, Sony may well have reduced the bezel size of the Xperia G and kitted it out with a 5-inch display.

Of course, the phone on top could be the Sony Xperia Z1 Compact too, meaning that the display may be as small as 4.3-inches or lower, but we sincerely doubt it.

The previously leaked benchmarks suggest the Xperia G will have a 1.4GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor and run Android 4.4 KitKat out of the box.

It is also tipped to feature a 720p HD resolution display, rather than full 1080p HD to keep it in-line with its mid-range price tag.

That’s all we know about the Sony Xperia G for now, but it may well be part of Sony’s MWC 2014 line-up.

MWC starts on February 23 in Barcelona. TrustedReviews will be on hand to bring you all the latest news as it happens.
