Sony Xperia C Review

(C2305) Score: 57.5 / 100

Sony Xperia C is an interesting device, equipped with an extremely powerful Quad-Core processor ticking at 1.2 GHz, a comfortable 5-inches capacitive screen, an 8 MP back-facing camera and a 0.3 megapixels front-facing camera. That's all? No, it's just the tip of the iceberg.

This cellphone comes with an extremely powerful 1.2 gigahertz Quad-Core processor, included in a Mediatek MT6589 chip and only 1 GB of RAM which is a bit disappointing for a cellphone of this level. Graphic calculations often consume lots of processing power, so it uses a 384 MHz PowerVR SGX544 graphics processing unit to unload the CPU. This phone counts with a 4 GB internal memory, a decent amount that should be enough for most users having that it also has a slot for SD memory cards to store photos and videos and even some games and apps that allow external memory installation.

This phone just has 5.57 inches long and 2.92 inches wide, but it still manages to hold a 5" screen. The Sony Xperia C is thin and good-looking, with a thickness of just 0.35 inches. Sony did an excellent design job making this phone weight only 5.4 ounces. This cellphone is for sale in three different color options, black, purple and white.

This device features two cameras, an 8 mega-pixels back side camera and a 0.3 MP front side camera. It is capable of capturing videos up to 1920x1080 (Full HD). This device also includes multiple interesting features like flash, auto-focus, smile detection shooting, face detection shooting, geo tagging and HDR mode.

Sony designed this cellphone with a nice 5" screen, and a resolution of 960 x 540 , which makes everything look colorful and brightful. This screen uses TFT capacitive technology, and allows multi-touch for gestures like pinch and zoom.

The Sony Xperia C offers Wi-Fi connectivity (which can be provided to other devices around, acting as a mobile hotspot) and 3G fast data connection, supported by HSPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. The Sony Xperia C comes with 2 SIM cards so it's able to work with two different phone lines.

The Sony Xperia C also comes with a few nice features as Bluetooth and GPS Localization, and multiple sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.

This device counts with a 2390 mAh huge removable battery providing the Sony Xperia C an average battery life. Sony afirms this device has a 10 hs talk time and a 588 hours stand by time.

Sony sells this phone for 155 dollars, which is very expensive for this kind of phone. If you are looking for a social cellphone or are looking for a cellphone to play lots of games, this phone is the right one for you.
