These are dark days for Sony's smartphone business. The division saw sales drop 16.3 percent over the past year, and is losing money faster than PlayStation is making it (http://www.engadget.com/2015/07/30/sony-earnings-playstation-mobile/). The answer to this problem, according to Sony, is to release two new mid range smartphones (http://blogs.sonymobile.com/press_release/sony-mobile-continues-its-innovation-in-imaging-with-the-introduction-of-two-best-in-class-super-mid-range-smartphones/?rl=global-en) to this month, the Xperia C5 Ultra and the Xperia M5. Both focus heavily on imaging, with the C5 Ultra offering two 13-megapixel Exmor RS cameras (one on the front, one on the back) that will hopefully capture some impressive shots. The front-facing camera has a 22m wide-angle lens for all your #welfie (https://twitter.com/hashtag/welfie) needs, and even a front-facing flash. Cameras aside, the C5 Ultra (pictured above) has a 1.7GHz octa-core processor, a 6-inch 1080p display, and a 2,930mAh battery that Sony claims is good for two days use.
