Sony started selling the Xperia E3 last month, asking about $200 for it. The handset runs Android 4.4 KitKat, and has four color versions: black, white, yellow, and copper (though it isn’t widely available yet). The E3 sports a 4.5-inch display with 480 x 854 pixels, further featuring LTE connectivity, a 5 MP rear camera, VGA front-facing camera, quad-core 1.2 GHz Snapdragon 400 processor, and 1 GB of RAM. There’s only 4 GB of internal memory, but, thankfully, you can use a microSD card to get extra storage space.
We’ll probably review the Xperia E3 in the near future, so check back if you want to find out more about it and its battery.

Looks like a good phone for $200. It's awesome that more Android phones now have great battery life. Hopefully Volta will improve things even more. I'd love to have a Z3C-sized phone I only had to charge every week.

The bezels are the only thing that would deter me from getting one. And the camera

Bezels. They should just recycle whatever remaining stock and redesign that phone again.

Sony needs to price the low / mid rangers properly. For this price, They should have used better resolution screen(qHD) and better internal memory.

If only it had 8GB of flash memory and a 720p screen it could finally rival the Moto G, but with those specs and a higher price I doubt that the long lasting battery will be enough to sell, expecially when you consider that the Moto G lasts long as well.

Not impressed - that display simply isn't good enough in that segment. And body size to screen ration is awful - Sony Ericsson's old affliction has returned to plague Sony Xperia. I remember the old SE candybar phones like K700, T650, T700, W890 which where GORGEOUS - but the display was always awkwardly too small - never looked right.

Nope nope nope. This phone is almost the same as the Xperia M. That 4GB of internal memory sucks. You only get like 1.7GB because of factory installed apps. And as far as I know, Sony does not let you move Apps to your SD card so you would have root your phone. The Xperia M is nearly $50 cheaper and almost as good. You even get more internal memory...
