Looks that never get old

Download AR Fun to mix reality with 3D effects that change as you move the camera. Capture even the fastest moves with Timeshift burst. Or use “Social live” to send videos live to Facebook. Got your friends’ attention? Now wow them with a sleight of hand. With a simple flick of the wrist, you can launch the camera or open Facebook. Gesture control gives you the power to control your phone – and impress your friends – in all new ways.
Entertainment in full gear
A car chase in your pocket. The latest dance song in your hand. Sony’s exclusive media apps give you access to some of the world’s best entertainment. And the Xperia™ E3 gives you a VIP pass, with the kind of out-of-the-box entertainment package that only Sony can deliver. 4G networks and a Quad-core processor mean your movies, songs and games load in an instant and run without irritating interruptions. Think the party may go all night? The Xperia™ E3 has a powerful, long-lasting battery and also Battery STAMINA Mode, so you can keep the fun streaming in.
