Sony C3 to be Sony's first Mediatek phone?

Are Sony about to launch their first low-cost Mediatek based handset in China? Purported Sony C3 details leaked.

A few months back we reported that Sony along with HTC and other big name brands were planning to enter the Chinese phone market with their own Mediatek based phones. It makes perfect sense that they should want to too as the Chinese phone market is the fast growing in the world and MTK phones are the most popular and cost-effective.

Apparently Sony will be entering the MTK market soon with a handset currently know as the Sony C3. Details are thin on the ground, but it is thought that the phone will be powered by a quad-core MT6589 processor or the updated 1.5Ghz MT6589T.
