The camera supports full HD recording and other features such as face detection, sweep panorama, HDR, geo-tagging, smile shutter and more. Measuring 74.15 x 141.5 x 8.88 mm, it tips the scale at 153 grams. While Flipkart and Saholic will begin shipping the device next week, Infibeam claims to ship it in 24 hours.

Last month, Sony launched its high-end Xperia Z1 that continued the company’s trend of compact, water-and-dustproof smartphones. However, the highlight of the device was its 20.7 megapixel camera. With the Xperia C, the company is ready to compete in the mid-range market.
