Sony has unveiled a new mid-range device that takes design cues from its predecessors. There’s nothing out of the ordinary here.

Sony includes its Xperia Actions engine into this device, which changes the settings and functionality of the phone depending on your environment.

It’s supposedly coming to some markets in North America, Europe, Middle East, Africa, Asia and Latin America by late April. No word on pricing at the moment.
