Now, a Dutch publication named GSM Info has claimed that the Sony Xperia M2 will be hitting global markets in April with an MSRP (manufacturer's suggested retail price) of EUR 289, translating to roughly Rs. 24,600.
Contradicting the dutch price, Sony at the launch had revealed that the Xperia M2, which the company called as 'the slimmest 4G-enabled smartphone in its class' at a rather thick 8.6mm, would be priced under EUR 220 MSRP (roughly Rs. 18,800).
In February, the Xperia Z2 was priced in different countries in a range between roughly Rs. 55,000 to Rs. 62,000.
