Selfie makes its way into the dictionary, and now there are smartphones with enhanced preference to front cameras for better self-portraits. Sony has launched the new C3 smartphone, which is also called as the selfie phone. Does this smart phone from Sony has all the correct reasons to call it the selfie phone? We find out.

1. The numbers game: Sony has ensured the front camera is the best in its segment, the C3 comes with a 5 megapixel front facing camera, which is better than any other smartphone. Even devices costing Rs 50,000-70,000 do not get 5-megapixel camera and this means higher resolution images for selfies. It even has 720p video recording, which is better than most of the competition.

2. Wide Angle: Majority of the front facing cameras, on smartphones are made for video conferencing like Skype and FaceTime. This means that the camera lens has a narrow angle just for your face. But with the Sony C3, the front camera is wide angle, which means you do not need those long hands anymore for group selfies. The wide angle ensures room for more people to fit in the frame than just one person.

3. Light Moments: One of the major complains with front facing cameras is that they cannot be used in the dark. The C3 also gets a front flash, which means no dark moments and you can capture images even in the dark. This is one of the first smartphones to get this unique feature. 4. Easy to hold: The Sony C3 has a 5.5-inch screen, but yet it is just 7.6mm thick. This makes it easy to hold the device with one hand. So, the large screen gives you good vision for the image and it is easy to hold also.

5. Dedication: To click an image, you do not need to reach out to the press button on the touch screen, it is difficult we understand that. For this reason, the Sony C3 comes with a dedicated camera button on the right side, so one can click a selfie with ease, just like a digital camera.

There are a couple of downsides to this phone: 1. Slow-processor: The Sony C3 comes with a 1.2-GHz quad-core processor, which is slower than most of the budget phones. 2. Lifeline: The device has 5.5-inch screen, but the battery life is just 2500mAh, which is so small because of the reduction in thickness.

The device costs Rs 23,990 and comes in three colours black, white and mint green.
