Sony has announced two new camera-focused smartphones in hopes of wooing the selfie crowd.
Titled the Xperia C4 and the Xperia C4 Dual, Sony’s new handsets are part of its ‘next generation PROselfie smartphones’ line-up.

There’s also 2GB of RAM and 16GB of storage inside, all breathing life into the Android 5.0 Lollipop operating system.
The Xperia C4 has 4G/LTE support, while the C4 Dual is, unsurprisingly, a dual-sim offering.
Sony confirmed to TrustedReviews that the Xperia C4 will not be coming to the UK, but it’s due to launch in ‘select markets’ in June 2015.
