Sony is joining the selfie bandwagon with the official announcement of the Sony Xperia C3 smartphone. While it has tech specs that slot it into the midrange market, the most notable features include a 5MP front camera complete with LED flash. Like some other selfie cameraphones, the Xperia C3 front camera is wide angle and features a Superior Auto mode for automatic enhancement, portrait retouch, Timeshift-burst and sweep panorama. Other selfie features include a double tap rear control which triggers the camera and a smile shutter feature which takes the shot when you smile. Other tech specs include the following:

  • 1.2GHz Snapdragon processor
  • 1GB RAM
  • 8GB storage + microSD
  • 5.5-inch Triluminous display (720 x 1280 pixel resolution)
  • 8MP rear camera (Sony Exmor RS, pulse LED flash) + 5MP front camera (wide angle, soft LED flash)
  • Supports 4G LTE, dual-SIM
  • 2500 mAh battery
  • Android 4.4 KitKat

Sony have upped the hype by calling the Xperia C3 the world's best selfie phone, but the features above really remind us of the OPPO N1 smartphone, which also had a rear touchscreen and a much larger 13MP rotateable camera with dual LED flash. The Xperia C3's midrange tech specs could mean that it will be priced much lower than the N1 which is a former flagship smartphone. If this becomes true, we're quite interested to see if it matches up to the similar 5MP front camera on the Huawei Honor 3C or the larger 8MP front camera on the Huawei Ascend P7. However, there are still no Malaysia release dates or pricing yet. For now, the Sony Xperia C3 is expected in China sometime in August 2014 so check out the video below:
