The Sony Xperia E1 Dual has been made available in India through multiple retailers as the company had promised while announcing the device. However, it has not landed in the subcontinent alone, it has the single-SIM E1 for company, albeit at select retail channels. This mid-range device is up for purchase for under Rs 10,000 and comes dipped in the basic shades of black and white as well as purple.
As we had reported, the Xperia E1 Dual was supposed to show up in the country on March 10, but the other version of the device was not on the cards until March 25. Nevertheless, both of them are available now. Also, while the dual SIM phone has gone a bit cheap, the single SIM device is just slightly expensive than its original price.
This 4-inch smartphone relies on a Qualcomm processor with dual cores and brings merely a 3MP camera. It provides talk time of about 9 hours and can play music for over 81 hours on a single charge. The Android Jelly Bean 4.3 platform is at the heart of the device and it may receive the KitKat update soon.
The Sony Xperia E1 Dual which was announced for Rs 10,499 can be picked up for Rs 9,740 or Rs 9,899 via Flipkart and Infibeam, respectively. The E1 is available now for Rs 9,990 at Flipkart instead of the original price of Rs 9,490.
