Sony Xperia miro up for India pre-orders at Rs. 14,499

If you've been looking forward to the Sony Xperia miro, there's good news. The phone is now up for pre-order in India via popular online retailer Flipkart.

We lifted the covers of the Sony Xperia miro way back in June when it was revealed alongside the Xperia tipo and Xperia tipo dual. The Xperia miro comes pre-loaded with Android 4.0, a 5MP rear shooter, a front-facing VGA camera and a 3.5-inch TFT capacitive touchscreen.

It is powered by an 800MHz Snapdragon processor with 512 MB RAM and has 3GB on-board memory expandable up to 32GB via microSD card. The phone also comes with customisable illumination ala Sony Xperia U.

Initial reports had indicated that the Sony Xperia miro will be available in black, gold, pink and silver, but only the black model seems to be up for pre-order on Flipkart for Rs. 14,499.

We're not 100% convinced about the accuracy of the price, since the 15K price tag seems high for the kind of configuration that the Xperia miro sports. If this is indeed the correct price, we don't expect the phone to find many takers.

Last week, Sony Xperia tipo had gone up for pre-order at Flipkart. The Android 4.0 phone comes with a 3.2-inch TFT display supporting a 480x320 pixel resolution. An 800MHz processor will help power the device, which has 512MB RAM.
