Selfies. Ugh. Like them or hate them, they’re here to stay. Sony’s Xperia C3 is the self-proclaimed “PROselfie” smartphone. Its marquee feature is its 5-megapixel wide-angle front-facing camera with LED flash. (Most smartphones only come with 2-megapixel front-facing camera and no LED flash.)

Samsung’s habit of “miniaturizing” its flagship smartphone continues.

It’s a big Android 4.4 Kitkat-powered smartphone but without the heft you’d […]
