Sony
Xperia C

The Xperia C (model number: C2305) was a device targeted at the Chinese market. Reflecting this, it was a dual-SIM phone. It was considered a success by Sony, shipping over 1 million units in its first three months of availability. The corners of the Xperia C were rounded-off and it had a tapered edge design on its rear face that made it feel thinner when held in one’s hand. Compared to other Sony devices at the time, it had a plastic “soft touch” back panel rather than glass. It was available in black, white and purple (the colour of the device in the museum collection).
