White paper | Xperia™ E dual
Product overview
Xperia™ E dual – Expertly created for simplicity
Ready to make life a little easier? Xperia™ E dual has all the fancy features you’d expect from a
smartphone - easy access to thousands of apps, a quality camera and a great music experience. And
Xperia™ E dual also remembers why phones were made in the first place: phone calls are as easy as ever,
and sound quality is enhanced with HD voice and noise cancellation. Try it. It’ll become your new best
friend in no time.
Stay on top of your data and battery usage
With Xperia™ E dual, there’s no risk of starting off on the wrong foot. Just open the box, switch on the
phone and follow the easy setup guide. You’ll be up and running before you can say ‘who needs a printed
multilanguage instruction manual?’. Xperia™ E dual also has everything you need to remain in control.
The data usage app helps you manage your costs and keeps your phone bill free from unwanted
surprises. You’ll be on top of battery drain too – just use the power management app.
First class basics
Xperia™ E dual doesn’t compromise on essential functions. This smartphone makes simple phone calls
even better. HD voice makes sure you make yourself heard, loud and clear. Calls from school yards and
city streets are no problem either. The noise cancellation feature filters out the background sounds.
Music the way you want it
Easy listening isn’t just a music genre. The “WALKMAN” app is all about ease of use – and great music.
You create your own playlists in a snap. So you can spend your time listening to music, instead of trying to
figure out how features and functions work. Can’t get enough? Go further into Music Unlimited*, choose
from millions of songs and in 3D surround sound. Crank it up with xLoud loudness enhancement, and get
the sound mix just right with graphic equalisers.
* Music Unlimited is a subscription service. Please refer to Terms Of Service for details of fees. Music
Unlimited is not available in every market.
Make the most of it
Set your smartphone to work. On Google Play, you’ll find apps for everything you can think of - and more.
Stressful day at the office? Wind down with a movie on the bus home. View the flick on the crisp 3.5”
display. If you get stuck in rush hour traffic, you probably won’t complain. The long-lasting, removable
battery has enough power to keep you entertained for hours.
Convenient call handling – dual SIM cards
The dual SIM cards are perfect when you want to separate work from play – and handle your calls in a
cost-efficient way. You 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. How about a formal ring signal during office hours, and your
favourite party-starter at night?

Signature features
The Sony Xperia™ E dual comes with a range of features as standard. Below is a summary of the key
signature features.
Xperia™ Timescape™
Communication made easy
The Timescape™ application manages all your communication with one person in one place. You can
effortlessly browse by category your Facebook™ and Twitter™ communications, as well as view your
photos. Now everything is all together and in chronological order, so you don't have to open different
applications to see what's going on.
Xperia™ Infinite button
Everything you want – from everywhere
Tap the infinite button in the Timescape™ application and smart filter each category of communication by
person. For example, when viewing a text message from a friend in Timescape™, tap the infinite button to
view a list of all chat messages with that friend.
Xperia™ Local connectivity
More control over your media
Using Xperia™ Local connectivity, you can exercise more control over how media files get transferred and
stored. For example, you can select MTP mode to transfer files if you want to limit the risk of data corruption, or select MSC mode if you want to have more control over the data storage.
Xperia™ Home screen application
The place you call Home
Customise your Home screen with widgets, shortcuts, folders, themes, wallpaper and other items.
Where’s best for you? Email top right? Music player bottom left? You decide. With four extensions to your
Home screen, you’ve got plenty of space to put things where you want. Just remember to flick left or right
to find them.
