Sony Xperia E4 Dual makes it to India
Sony first announced the Xperia E4 and E4 Dual back in February, and now it's ready to take one of those handsets to India.
The Japanese company's arm in the subcontinent has made the Xperia E4 Dual official for the Indian market today. We're talking about the 3G-only model here, keep that in mind, this isn't the 4G-enabled Xperia E4g.
As its name implies however, the Xperia E4 Dual does have dual-SIM functionality, so there's that. Its recommended retail price for India is INR 12,490, which roughly translates into $199 or €188 at the current exchange rates.
The Xperia E4 Dual boasts a 5-inch 540x960 touchscreen, a 5 MP main camera with LED flash, a 2 MP secondary front-facing unit, and a 2,300 mAh battery. At the helm is the MediaTek MT6582 SoC with a 1.3 GHz quad-core Cortex-A7 CPU and Mali-400MP2 GPU. The phone has 1GB of RAM, as well as 8GB of expandable built-in storage. It runs Android 4.4.4 KitKat.
Gionee to launch slim dual-SIM Elife S7 on April 3 in India
At MWC 2015, Gionee unveiled the 5.5mm Elife S7 as one of the thinnest dual-SIM smartphones. Now, the Chinese manufacturer is gearing up for the April launch of the smartphone next month in India by sending out formal invites.
Gionee has designed Elife S7 with a U-shaped skeleton, casted using aviation level alloy for its frame. The rest of the body is constructed using nano-molding plastic. The mere 5.5mm thick handset features a 5.2" 1080p AMOLED display.
Powered by a 64-bit MediaTek MT6752 SoC with Mali-T760 GPU, the S7 has 2 GB RAM and 16GB of built-in storage. The phone has a new Sensor Hub integrated to the SoC in order to conserve CPU usage and use less power. It will be offered in Los Angeles Black, North Pole White and Maldives Blue color options.
Being a dual-SIM smartphone, the S7 supports two 4G SIM modules simultaneously. It is powered by a 2,750 mAh battery. We managed to get a quick look at the device at MWC.
