Sony confirms Xperia E5, shows off the device

Himanshu, 24 May, 2016

Just a couple of days after the 'Xperia E5' moniker leaked, Sony has officially confirmed the existence of the device in a Facebook post. Not only this, the company also released the first official render of the handset, showing off both the front as well as back of the device.

Update: The post has since been taken down.

In case you missed, the Sony Xperia E5 leak from a couple of days ago effectively revealed that it's the Sony F3311 that was spotted on GFXBench last month. The benchmark listing had revealed MediaTek's MT6735 chipset, 4.6-inch 720p display, 1.5GB of RAM, and 16GB of storage, suggesting an entry-level device.

There's currently no information on the pricing and availability front, although given that the company has officially started teasing the device, the wait shouldn't be too long.

Thanks for the tip Chamila T!!
