Sony already said that the C5 Ultra would be available to buy starting this month, and we now also know how much the handset is going to cost. Sony Hong Kong will sell the new Xperia starting August 14, asking 3,298 HKD (about $425) for an unlocked, dual SIM unit. Most likely, the handset will have similar prices in other markets.
The C5 Ultra runs Android Lollipop, and is powered by an octa-core, 64-bit MediaTek MT6752 processor clocked at 1.7 GHz. Other features include 2 GB of RAM, 16 GB of expandable storage space, and a 2930 mAh battery. Unlike many of Sony's recent smartphones, the C5 Ultra is not water-resistant.
The Xperia C5 Ultra will likely not be released in the US, as Sony said that the phone would be available only in select countries across "emerging markets." Would you buy one?

Every SONY phone: Great and awesome at everything, except one thing, and that never makes it perfect.

While the glass mint-green color onst z series looks sexy and premium , this matte mint looks faded and weird.
Sony should reconsider their pricing strategy as they can make a phone go from 540£ to 130£ (z ultra) as it reaches the discontinuation period. But of course, the component parts getting obsolete and hence price-dropped isn't considered.
Instead of getting more profit margin at the beginning and gradually then cutting it off so its available to buy for most consumers, should they release a phone at an ideal price, it could benefit both Sony and its consumers. But I might be indeed leaning towards the customers point of reference knowingly as I am one but still , my point stands a fair ground. What do you guys think?
