Not bad,If under 15k sony has Killed our lovely micromaxx

 

[Flash]

1.2 ghz Quad Core Mediatek Chipset
- It will surely take on desi-quad core mobiles, if offered at lowprice.

 

[theserpent]

^Yup it will literally kill them

But guys dont get your hopes HIGH,Panasonic overpriced it's mediatek phone

 

[randomuser111]

This will be priced lower than Xperia L Around 14k

 

[ZTR]

Only for china!

 

[randomuser111]

^

Nope. China Mobile gets it first and later India and few other Asian countries will get. India launch would be around end Q3.

 

[theserpent]

Sony will release it in India DUh

 

[Terabyte]

But MMX is already offering 720p IPS HD display for 12.5k(Canvas HD) at the moment. Dunno what Canvas 4 has to offer?!

Considering XC is still couple of months away from arriving here I would say Sony is rather late in this case.

 

[theserpent]

^Sony will surely be better in terms OF A.S.S

 

[lywyre]

^^ And probably, developer support too.

how can it be priced below L? it has better spec than L with the only exception being processor.

^^ And probably, developer support too.

AFAIK, no mobile with mediatek chipset has proper developer support. just the modified stock rom with bloatwares removed.

there are hardly any mobile under 15k from international manufacturers that offers high resolution display and moderately fast processor.

Because Xperia C is not developed by Sony Mobile, but is an ODM device like Tipo and E targeted for emerging markets. Or in other words, a better MicroMax/Lava with SONY brand name

Although of course it has significantly better quality even though it is an ODM device as the company responsible is much bigger than the tiny firms that make Micromax phones.

 

[coderunknown]

most of the mobiles are done through ODM only. still 15k will be a ridiculously low price for this kind of spec. looks like Sony is hell bent on dethroning the competition rather than fighting off waves of crap droids from Samsung/LG/HTC.

 

[randomuser111]

Yes, the MRP might be around 17990. And would drop soon to 15k or so

Also the only ODM Xperia devices are - Tipo, E, and the C. All other Xperias are designed and developed in Tokyo, Japan.

Exactly, because of non availability of KS.. Maybe Sony WILL release KS for it ? remains to be seen

 

[kartikoli]

15k and its gonna kill micromax

 

[randomuser111]

I missed this earlier, but Sam the C is not better than L.

8 MP Exmor R vs RS on L, overall worse quality
Worse screen
Lesser Internal memory
Worse CPU
Worse Build

Only thing the C has over L is the 5.0 inch display

All what is bold+Good marketing=A nexus 4 kinda sale in INDIA :LOL:

 

[randomuser111]

Well yeah 1080p video recording is another advantage over L

So only 3 major advantages over L-

1. Bigger Screen
2. Bigger Battery
3. 1080p Video Recording.
