Sony Xperia C5 Ultra price and launch date revealed

Announced earlier this week alongside the Xperia M5, the Sony Xperia C5 Ultra is an interesting handset, thanks to the fact that it sports a near bezel-less 6-inch 1080p display, while featuring two 13 MP cameras (front and rear) with LED flashes.

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?
