Sony Xperia E dual leaks with dual-SIM functionality and 1GHz CPU

The recently launched Sony Xperia tipo dual is special for being the company's first smartphone that works with two SIM cards at the same time. However, it most likely won't be the last of its kind because a follow-up might be released in the near future, judging by the evidence that just surfaced on the web.

A yet-unannounced smartphone called Sony Xperia E dual with a model name C1605 has been discovered in POSTEL's database (think of it as Indonesia's FCC). Details within the listing itself are scarce, but the device most likely belongs to the entry-level category. Rumor has it that the Xperia E dual sports a 1GHz Snapdragon S1 system-on-a-chip by Qualcomm, namely the MSM7225A. The screen's size isn't known yet, but its resolution is said to be 320 by 480 pixels. Android 4.0.4 supposedly runs on the smartphone out of the box, and that is pretty much all we know about it so far.

Overall, the rumored Sony Xperia E dual isn't likely to impress with anything but its price tag. With its dual-SIM functionality and reasonable pricing, it might turn out to be a success in emerging markets once it is released. Oh, and by the way, the existence of a single-SIM variant is not out of the question.

Thanks for sending this in!
