The mobile arm of consumer electronics giant Sony officially launched the new Xperia C5 Ultra in India on Wednesday, 26 August.

The company (via Twitter) confirmed that the Xperia C5 Ultra (Dual-SIM) is now available in both brick-and-mortar stores and e-commerce sites across India for Rs 29,990. It comes in white, black and mint coloured variants. However, Sony is tight-lipped on when the company would launch Xperia M5, which was originally unveiled along with C5 Ultra last month. 

For the uninitiated, Sony has incorporated 13mp front camera with dedicated LED selfie-flash on Xperia C5 Ultra. It boasts 22 mm wide-angle lens with an 88 degree field of view, auto-focus, 4X digital zoom, full HD video recording, image stabilise, Auto Scene Recognition, red-eye reduction and many more. It also features same 13mp snapper on the rear-side.

C5 Ultra sports a 6.0-inch full HD display and runs on Android 5.1 Lollipop OS powered by MediaTek Octa-core SoC (System on Chip), 2GB RAM and a 2930 mAh battery, which can power the device for close to 769 hours (almost 32 days) under standby mode.
