Usually, Sony didn't put 4G LTE feature on their budget smartphone, only for the high end models. But not this time.

Sony Xperia E4g, the name of the SKU, is a new variant of Xperia E4. Other than 4G LTE capability, the differences are on the MediaTek MT6732 quad core processor speed (previously at 1,3GHz now at 1,5GHz).

E4g also have smaller display size, only 4,7 inch with 540x960 pixel resolution. With Android KitKat 4.4.4, 8GB of internal storage and 1GB of RAM, E4g has 5MP rear and 2MP front camera that can record FHD video at 30fps.

How cheap? The dual SIM smartphone will be priced at USD 145 or about Rp1,87 million. That is definitely not cheap at all. But may be it is for Sony.
