Sony Xperia C3 price in Malaysia starts from RM799, putting it in budget territory even by 2014 standards. Under the hood is a Snapdragon 400 chipset with a quad-core 1.2 GHz processor and 1 GB RAM, enough for basic Android tasks on KitKat but not much multitasking headroom. The 5.5-inch IPS LCD screen runs at 720p, which is modest for its size, though Sony's Triluminos display and BRAVIA Engine 2 processing aim to make colours punchier than the raw resolution suggests.

Camera-wise, the C3 leans into selfies with a 5 MP front camera backed by its own LED flash, a rarity at this price point in 2014. The rear camera is an 8 MP unit with autofocus and can shoot 1080p video. Storage is tight at 8 GB, but microSD support up to 32 GB helps offset that. A 2500 mAh battery, NFC, and LTE round out a spec sheet that prioritises social sharing over raw performance.
