Calling all selfie fans! Sony has come to the party, delivering a phone that will ensure that you, and anyone else, will look spectacular in every photo – no matter where you are.
Highlight: Specially designed 5MP selfie camera with a 25mm wide-angle lens as well as a soft LED flash and Exmor RS™ for mobile.
So, what does this mean? Well, think of it this way: whether you’re basking in the sun or partying with your friends at night, you’ll always be able to take the prefect shot. The 25mm wide-angle lens has a 80-degree field of view, meaning that you can fit more people into the photo.
Xperia C3
A jazzed-up selfie camera is not a new concept, but Sony has taken it to the next level with the awesome features. Let’s not forget that it’s more than just a camera: the processor allows for a great user experience and the generous 5.5” screen can’t be ignored, either. The fact that it can’t shoot Full HD video is a bit of a question mark, but the selfie camera makes up for this. Snap away!
