As we're getting closer and closer to Mobile World Congress 2015 trade fair, more news about unannounced smartphones will continue to pour in.

After reports on HTC and Samsung's new flagship smartphones, it's time to take a look at other companies that won't be releasing any high-end devices but will still be present at MWC 2015 with some budget-friendly and mid-range handsets. Sony has already confirmed it won't be releasing two flagships per year, so the next top of the line smartphone from the Japanese company will arrive in the summer. Until then though, Sony does plan to launch a few mid-range smartphones, such as the Xperia E2303 and E2333, which have just been spotted in benchmarks.

As GSMArena points out these smartphones could be related in some way given their codenames and almost similar specs sheet. Speaking of which, these unannounced Xperia phones will be powered by Android 5.0 Lollipop operating system and will be equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon chipsets.

Both smartphones will be demoed at MWC 2015

However, while Xperia E2303 will be powered by Snapdragon 615 chipset that accommodates an octa-core processor clocked at 1.5GHz, while the Xperia E2333 is supposed to come with a Snapdragon 610 chipset that features a 1.5GHz quad-core processor. Both smartphones are packed with 2GB of RAM and 5.2-inch HD (720) displays, but the E2303 has 16GB of internal memory, whereas the E2333 features only 8GB of storage. The good news is both come with microSD card slot for memory expansion, so there won't be any issues regarding storage space.

Last but not least, both Xperia smartphones will be equipped with 13-megapixel rear-facing cameras and 5-megapixel secondary photo snappers in the front. Sony is expected to showcase the Xperia 2303 and 2333 in early March at MWC 2015, though it's unclear whether or not they will be announced during a dedicated event.
