Sony Xperia C3 Review

Sony Xperia C3 is an impressive Android phone released in July 2014, which counts with a 5.5 inches touch-screen, an extremely powerful 1200 megahertz Quad-Core processing unit, and two cameras, an 8 MP back camera and a 5 MP front-facing camera.

Sony decided to sell this device with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 8926 chip, which holds a very powerful Quad-Core processor speeding at 1.2 gigahertz and only 1 GB RAM memory which is a bit low for a phone this good. Graphic rendering often eats a lot of processor time, so this cellphone counts with a 450 megahertz Adreno 305 GPU to take some work out of the processor. A nice point of the Sony Xperia C3 is its big 8 GB internal storage memory and a slot for an external memory card, which allows you to store a couple hundred games and apps without any trouble.

The Sony Xperia C3 is a very compact cellphone, considering it features a 5.5 inches display and it has just 6.15" long. This cellphone is slim and good-looking, being just 0.3 inches thick. Sony made this cellphoneavailable only in 3 different color options: black, green and white. This cellphone feels much lighter than what one would expect from a phone of this size.

Sony packed this cellphone with a very good 5.5" screen, and a resolution of 1280 x 720 (HD), making everything look very nice. This screen uses IPS LCD capacitive technology, and allows multi-touch gestures.

The Sony Xperia C3 has two cameras, an 8 MP back side camera and a 5 megapixels front-facing camera. The Sony Xperia C3 can also capture videos up to 1920x1080 (Full HD). This cellphone also counts with lots of interesting features like auto-focus, flash, fast burst mode, face detection shooting, digital image stabilization, smile detection shooting, HDR mode and geo tagging.

The Sony Xperia C3 packs a 2500 mAh great non-removable battery providing the Sony Xperia C3 a great battery duration. According to Sony, this phone has an aproximate 11 hours talk time and a 1040 hours stand by time. An issue to evaluate is that this cellphone's battery isn't removable so you can't change it when it starts to get older, whereas with such a big battery you will probably buy a new phone before that happens.

This device includes WiFi connectivity (and it can be shared with other devices around, as a mobile hotspot), 4G LTE fast connection type and also HSPA+ connectivity, which is a bit slower 4G technology and the fastest 3G data connection, using HSDPA, HSUPA and EDGE technologies. This phone uses two Micro SIM cards so it can to use two different phone lines and even different carriers at the same time.

This device also includes a couple of interesting features like NFC, Bluetooth (4.0) and GPS, and plenty of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.

This cellphone costs $ 249, high for comparing with other similar cellphones. No matter whether you want a phone for work, will use it as a gamer cellphone or will use it as a social phone, this cellphone is probably the correct choice .
