Sony has introduced a new smartphone, Xperia E4g, ahead of Mobile World Congress 2015. Sony says the new Xperia E4g offers “ease-of-use and powerful battery performance – with fast 4G LTE connectivity”. The Xperia E4g will be launched in April for around EUR 129, which is roughly Rs. 9089.42. It will also be available in a Dual SIM variant.
“Xperia E4 set out to bring many of the premium features people expect of Sony to lower-tier devices; Xperia E4g brings that same quality and ease of use – but with super-fast 4G LTE connectivity,” says Tony McNulty, Vice President, Value Category Business Management at Sony Mobile Communications. “With simple set-up and unrivalled 2 day battery life, we believe both models represent value for those who want premium Sony technology and experiences often only associated with high-end devices.”
