In Facebook post, Sony Mobile said, "Eager, effortless, and easy on the eye - it's everything a smartphone should be. Say hello to your savvy new sidekick, Xperia E5."

It came with 8GB of inbuilt storage that was expandable via microSD card. Other specifications of the Xperia E4 included a 5-megapixel rear camera with LED flash, a 2-megapixel front-facing camera, and a 2300mAh battery.

The company kicked off pre-registrations for the Xperia X and Xperia XA smartphones in India. Interested consumers can now sign up on the company's India website to be the first ones to know about the details of the new Sony Xperia X and XA launch offers and price.
