Boost scores Sony exclusive

Boost Mobile is the exclusive retail partner for the new low-cost Sony Xperia E4, announced by both companies today.

The budget-priced beauty will cost $129 at launch, and fits in well with the rest of the Boost Mobile range, the Boost Icon Nero and the Boost View 5.

The Xperia E4 will be the highest spec device in the range, with a higher resolution screen compared to the View 5, and 8GB of storage for apps, music and photos.

It is a 3G-only phone, which again is a great match for Boost Mobile, at it current only supports 3G technology on the Telstra Next G network. The slower speeds of 3G are often more than enough for most daily phone use, including social media, web browsing and even music streaming.

The E4 comes with a 5-megapixel camera, but perhaps its best feature is its 2300Ah battery. Given its screen size and resolution, a battery with this capacity should keep the E4 alive for several days.

The Xperia E4 is available now on the Boost Mobile website.
