It seem regardless of our outcries, selfies are here to stay. Sony have made that abundantly clear with the new Xperia C4. The phone is all about taking pictures of yourself and even has a front flash. While the phone isn’t exactly underpowered, it lacks the latest specs that would put it anywhere close to the flagship Xperia Z3.

 

The C4 has a 5.5 inch screen and 1.7GHz processor. These won’t set the world on fire but casual users (which the C4 is marketed to) should have no problems. The 16 Gigs of memory is also pretty standard, but with MicroSD support for up to 128GB, a little extra cash should quell any problems of running out of space.

The cameras are why we’re here though, and that’s where the C4 becomes a lot less “standard”. At the back is a 13MP camera meant for more traditional picture taking, and the front camera boasts 5MP and even a flash for dark environments. Strap this to a 25mm wide angle lens, and we’re talking awesomeness. The phone has Steady Shot which will keep motion blur to a minimum, and has a number of other augmenting features so your food will look it’s absolute best on Instagram. If you are going to take selfies, this is the way to do it.

Sony hasn’t released any news regarding the price of the C4, but they said the phone will launch in June. We don’t imagine it to be too expensive (we estimate around R6000), but by next month you can take selfies with the best of them.
