The Xperia E and Xperia E dual affordable smartphones were made official less than two weeks ago, but they won't hit shelves until Q1, 2013.

Sony Germany has already priced the Android phones, but the release date is still a mystery. Earlier this week we reported that Xperia E and Xperia E dual would be available in Germany for €159 ($205) and €169 ($218), respectively.

However, we're still in the dark when it comes to availability. Luckily, UK-based retailer The Carphone Warehouse has already listed the Xperia E on its online store and claims that the smartphone will be available for purchase beginning February 2013. Check it out here.

Obviously, the release date is subject to change, but at least we know it will make it to the UK in early 2013. Stay tuned for more updates on the matter.
