Sony says that the E in E3 stands for entry-level, while the M in the Xperia M2 stands for the mid-range. However, in its press release, Sony describes the E3 as a mid-range smartphone so there's some confusion surrounding that.
Design

The device feels nice in the hand and give the impression of being more than the price premium Suggests. It weighs 143 g roomates Gives a nice balance for a phone this size.
Unfortunately, being part of the E range means no dust- or waterproof credentials. Sony has just trickled out this premium features down to the M range so we'll have to wait a bit longer until it Reaches the budget devices.

The camera found on the rear of the Xperia E3 is 5MP and offers HDR too so is one of the better parts of the hardware line-up. It's capable of recording 1080p HD videos. On the front of the smartphone is a VGA camera, its meaning is less than 1MP sensor so not great for selfie lovers.
