Sony Xperia E1 looks just like the Xperia Z1 Compact and comes with 100Db speaker to produce a louder, cleaner sound that can hold its own in any environment, even a motorcycle won't interrupt your music. The smartphone also comes with a dedicated Walkman button, which when long pressed automatically turns on the music.

"Xperia E1 combines the best of Sony's audio technologies with a premium design and great hardware to create a smartphone for people who want to express themselves out loud," said Calum MacDougall, Director of Xperia Marketing at Sony Mobile Communications. "It's a new, music focused player in our Xperia line-up that is underpinned by the best of Sony's design, display and content offers."
