As expected, Sony Mobile today announced the Sony Xperia C3, billed as the “world’s best selfie smartphone.” The key feature is the new 5 MP wide-angle front camera (25mm lens with 80 degree field of view) and its “unique soft flash” that allow you to take “flattering photos day or night.”
As we saw on the video yesterday, you can trigger a selfie simply by double-tapping the back of the device. Alternatively, you can use the “Smile Shutter.”
“Xperia C3 is a unique new smartphone from Sony, created to offer the ultimate social sharing experience with a new powerful ‘PROselfie cam’. It also presents a combination of the best of Sony, with leading digital imaging technology and brilliant specs and performance all for a mid-range price” says Calum MacDougall, Director of Xperia Marketing at Sony Mobile Communications.
