View The World Better

A massive 5 inch TFT capacitive touchscreen that is quarter HD ensures that all that you view on it seems better, bigger, sharper and more beautiful. With a crisp finish and a brightness that you cannot contend with, the smartphone ensures that your eye sees only the best.

Capturing Clarity

The Xperia C comes with an 8 megapixel camera that incorporates the Exmor R technology that stems from Sony’s time-proven record with professional cameras. Helping you take amazing pictures even in low-light conditions, the camera employs HDR, aided by a pulsed LED, that captures at different exposure levels and layers them, ensuring that the subject looks crisp and bright.

A 0.3 megapixel secondary camera comes in handy when you want to take that perfect selfie or high-quality video chats with a loved one. What’s more, the phone is also capable of capturing full HD videos as well.

A scaling mechanism which is intuitive about what you are searching for allows you to find specific pictures with ease. Also, the phone body comes with a dedicated camera button that lets you access it in a jiffy.

Connectivity Simplified

The Xperia C can also be connected with your large screen TV to watch mind-blowing content like it should be. All you need is Wi-Fi connectivity on the TV and you can throw content onto it using Bluetooth on your phone - the best way to connect to other devices without the hassle of wires.

Processing with Power

A 1.2 GHz MTK6589 Quad Core processor backed by 1 GB RAM gives you performance and speed that you could easily get used to. Lag is a thing of the past as you blaze through apps, the web, streaming live videos and multitasking is but a piece of cake that will not frustrate you with slow responses. Aided and abetted by the Android v4.2.2 (Jelly Bean) operating system that is both intuitive and smooth while being simple and easy to use as well, the phone packs quite a punch.

4 GB of internal storage can be extended upto 32 GB and the phone packs a 2330 mAh battery as well. A feature that comes in very handy to those who don’t get the time to charge their phone batteries all that often, the Battery STAMINA mode that comes with the dual GSM SIM Sony Xperia C ensures that unnecessary battery drainage is curbed by cutting off display when not in use and disabling Wi-Fi and data traffic while still allowing notifications to show up on the screen, significantly improving battery life. You can also customize what kind of notifications you want to show up.
