AnonD-501550, 24 May 2016Well maybe it'll be priced lower like how the E3 was priced... moreI agree Sony updates phones I'll tell you my experience with Sony I have owned two Sony phones till today Xperia S and Xperia ZL both phones started giving problems and became unusable after updating to their last official updates and I had to throw both the phones when I took them to Sony they said they don't repair phones and I have to replace it with a new one paying 3/4th of the money now I'll ask you one question what is the use of updating a phones just so that it become unusable and people have no other option other than to buy their new phones most of the unofficial shops confirmed that it was a software problem

    Z1c -> Z3c -> Z5c was a great progression, every version getting better and better... now Z5c -> E5 is going backwards. Wtf sony?

      AnonD-501550, 24 May 2016Well maybe it'll be priced lower like how the E3 was priced... moreFor that you'll have to look at the phones it's competing with which are all under 100$ and have better specifications eg redmi prime, redmi note, moto e etc etc and yes I know Sony updates it's phones but their '' e'' (e4) series phones don't even have the latest updates even after 1 1/2 years but Motorola moto e has marshmallow already hence my opinion on the phone is dependent on the competition not on Sony fans and fanatics for Sony to survive they need to be in the competition or face the same fate as Nokia

          Merwyn Fernandes, 24 May 2016In today's climate 150$ for this would be considered expens... moreWell maybe it'll be priced lower like how the E3 was priced higher than the E4G when it was first released

          What do you mean by "you have to forget about software updates"? The M2 was in the same price bracket as those I mentioned, It started at JB 4.3 and now it's at LL 5.1

                Pretty nice at first look.. hope that device is affordable.. i really want to have a sony phone.. but their price are so unreasonable

                  AnonD-530807, 24 May 2016lol what happened to the unified X monicker that essentiall... moreThe phone has not yet launched so the name might still change for the final version or Sony might want to still keep the '' E '' moniker as it'll be difficult for the people to differentiate premium and budget phones by Sony

                      For me its better if they named it XE not E 😀

                        AnonD-501550, 24 May 2016The E series never was priced that high, the E4G was priced... moreIn today's climate 150$ for this would be considered expensive it should be more in the 115-135$ price bracket buying this phone means you have to forget about software updates

                          Wow! Really a looker for an entry device
