Sony prepping an inexpensive 5-incher for Q3

Tucked in an "industry observers" report from supply chain sources is the nugget that Sony will be launching an affordable 5-incher this year, alongside a sleuth of entry to mid-range handsets.

We already saw the Xperia L and Xperia SP announced, and the rumors keep coming for an Xperia A, Xperia  UL and the Togari flagship, hinting at a pretty respectable roadmap for the year, covering the gamut of consumer choices, as Sony already hinted it wants to take the second place amongst Android makers, after Samsung.

As per the inexpensive 5-incher, the saying is: "Sony also plans to roll out a 5-inch entry-level model in the third quarter, which is likely to be powered by a MediaTek quad-core processor and manufactured by Arima, indicated the industry sources."
