Big screen entertainment
From awesome film clips to beautiful vacation memories, whatever you’re watching, the 5-inch 540 x 960
qHD display on the Xperia™ C creates a viewing experience aimed to give you goose bumps. Together
with a powerful 1.2 GHz Quad-core processor and 1GB of RAM, this smartphone offers super-fast
performance as well as astonishing graphics.
Beautiful images, always…
The Xperia™ C was created using the same expertise and components as leading Sony cameras. It
comes with an 8 MP camera with Exmor R® for mobile, which lets you take great pictures, even in
challenging light conditions. And with HDR, your subject looks as bright as you remember, even when
back lit. The Xperia™ C also has a dedicated camera key that can use to shoot from a locked screen as
well as a fast-capture function that goes from sleep to snap in under one second.
Capture and share the most beautiful version of you
Want your picture taken by a professional? Well, with the Xperia™ C you’ll get pretty close. Switch on the
self-portrait function and the intelligent voice guide will tell you where to move, making sure your face fits
the frame perfectly. This way, you take pictures using the main camera, meaning the quality will always be
superb. But wait, there’s more. You can turn on Beauty mode and make that portrait absolutely flawless.
For a picture perfect you – every time.
Music to lose yourself in
Can’t live without the sound of the latest music in your ears? The “WALKMAN” app lets you customise
your music experience to a new level. Create playlists and enjoy crisp and clear sound quality with
ClearAudio+ mode*, which includes Sony’s unique audio enhancement technologies. Combine with your
favourite music service, and get the music experience you so rightfully deserve.
* Requires ClearAudio+ certified headset.

A better way to handle your calls – dual SIM cards
With dual SIM cards, it’s easier to separate work from play – and handle calls more cost-efficiently. You
can simply switch between SIM cards anytime with a simple touch. Or make the switch happen
automatically: just preset which SIM card to use at specific times of the day. You can also customise each
SIM card separately. Choose a formal ring signal during office hours, then go for a more casual one at
home.
