BARCELONA, Spain -- Not content with merely launching a new flagship smartphone and tablet, Sony also decided to upgrade its mid-range smartphone offering with the Xperia M2.

While the device's specs are most definitely mid-range -- 1.2GHz quad-core processor, 8-megapixel camera, LTE and a 2,300mAh battery -- Sony hopes to make it more attractive by making it very slim and giving it a design similar to the recently launched Xperia Z1 Compact. With a 4.8-inch qHD screen, it's also quite big -- nearly as big as the 5-inch Xperia Z1.

Sony will also offer a dual-SIM variant of the Xperia M2, letting users have two simultaneous, always active SIM cards with custom ring tones.

Just like the Xperia Z2 and the Xperia Z2 Tablet, the Xperia M2 will launch globally in April 2014.
