According to industry sources Sony is looking to expand its portfolio by bringing an affordable quad-core 5-incher to market. Details on specs are scarce but the device may be powered by the MediaTek MT6589 SoC, which offers four Cortex-A7 cores.
According to said sources the device production will be outsourced to Arima.







Arima is working with Sony on the budget-friendly Xperia E. Sony is also reportedly working with Compal Communications and Foxconn and plans for them to produce between 8 and 10 million devices this year.
