Performance

A Quad-core phone with lightning-fast performance
The Xperia C3 Dual Quad-core phone from Sony comes with an ultra-fast Qualcomm Snapdragon 1.2 GHz Quad-core processor.

Run multiple apps simultaneously, surf the web with shorter loading time and stream beautifully lag-free videos. The advanced Qualcomm Snapdragon 1.2 GHz Quad-core processor gives you maximum performance and speed without draining your battery. The processor is asynchronous, which means each core is powered up and down independently. So you get the precise amount of power when you need it, without wasting power when you don’t

Fast, faster, LTE

Your Quad-core phone has a built-in LTE/4G modem. This enables blazing Internet connections with up to 150 Mbit/s download and 50 MBit/s upload speeds.

Make your battery go further with Battery Stamina Mode

Battery STAMINA Mode extends your phone’s standby time up to four times longer, so your phone will keep on going when you need it most. When you’re not using the display, apps and functions will be intuitively turned off, but you’ll still receive incoming calls, texts, and alarms. Press the power button and everything is up and running again. You can easily customise the app notifications you want to receive during standby mode. Email or Facebook notifications on or off? It’s up to you.
