Sony is targeting selfie fanatics with its latest mid-range smartphone - the Xperia C4, according to Digital Spy.

The handset comes with a 5-megapixel camera on the front, which Sony modestly describes as the "best in class".

The Xperia C4 also includes a Sony Exmor R mobile sensor with a wide 25mm lens, and a HDR mode for low-lit conditions.

The device also features a 5.5-inch full HD display, a 1.7GHz octa-core processor, 2GB of RAM, 16GB of storage, microSD support and a 13-megapixel rear camera.

Sony has also packed a 2600mAh battery, an NFC chip and 4G connectivity into the Xperia C3 successor's slim 150.3 x 77.4 x 7.9mm body.

The Xperia C4 will be released in June, but pricing and launch territories are yet to be confirmed.
