While Xperia E will be launched with Android 4.1 Jelly Bean OS out of the box, the dual SIM variant of the same will come with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and will receive the Jelly Bean upgrade later.

If Xperia E Dual, which is the first one of the duo to enter the Indian smartphone territory is priced at Rs 12,000, then it is definite that the handset will enter a direct rivalry with Samsung, who has already established its foothold in that particular market segment with Galaxy S Duos.

As far as specs are concerned, Galaxy S Duos smartphone houses a 4 inch capacitive touchscreen display with 480 x 800 pixel resolution. Running on Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, the handset is equipped with a 1GHz processor, 5MP rear camera, VGA front camera, 4GB internal memory, 768MB RAM, a micro SD card slot supporting up to 32GB and 1,500 mAh Li-ion battery. Further, Galaxy S Duos is priced at Rs 13,100 in India making it a reasonable offering.

Analyzing the specs, it is clear that Galaxy S Duos has a better display and an improved camera performance with a front camera for video calling as well. However, Xperia E Dual with the ability to be upgraded to Android 4.1 Jelly Bean and speculated to come at a lower price tag can be a stiff competitor to the Samsung handset.
