It looks like Sony is readying the successor of the Sony Xperia E1, an entry level smartphone it released about a year ago. Somehow the successor would not be called the Sony Xperia E2, according to this tipped listing it would be called the Sony Xperia E1 II.
The Sony Xperia E1 II got listed on spanish retail chain, Phonehouse.es which still has the same picture of the original variant but with a more different specs. It could just be that Sony only changed the internals with much of the design being pretty much the same.
The device would rock the same 4-inch (or 5-inch) display with the resolution upped to qHD (540 x 960 pixels) from WVGA (480 x 800 Pixels). The processor has been replaced with a Quad-core processor which clocks at 1.3GHz or 1.4GHz (from the former dual-core 1.2GHz processor) with 1GB of RAM and 8GB space of internal storage (up to 32GB via microSD card).
The Sony Xperia E1 II comes with Dual SIM functionality, runs on Android 4.4 Kitkat OS, a 5MP main camera (up from 3MP) and front 2MP camera. The dimensions remain pretty much the same – 118.0 x 62.4 x 12.0mm, weighs 122 grams and comes with a battery capacity not mentioned but it provides 366 hours of standby time & 8 hours of talk time.
For me somehow the listing has some irregularities, maybe it has to do with my poor spanish and thanks-but-no-thanks to Google translate.
Sony would be present at the MWC 2015 which is starting at the beginning of next month. Hopefully the Xperia E1 II and the Sony E2003/2033 would go official too; the Sony Xperia Z4 is very unlikely to make it.
