Sony Xperia M Review

(C1905)     See other variants reviews Score: 57 / 100

Sony Xperia M is a mid-level phone launched back in the year 2013, which counts with a great performance 1000 megahertz Dual-Core processing unit, a medium sized 4 inches screen, and 2 cameras, a 5 MP back camera and a 0.3 mega-pixels front-facing camera.

Sony decided to equip the Sony Xperia M using a good performance Dual-Core processing unit ticking at 1 GHz, bundled in the Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Plus MSM8227 system chip and 1 GB of RAM. Helping with graphic rendering, it also has a 450 MHz Adreno 305 graphics processing unit. This phone comes with a fair 4 GB internal storage, which is enough for the vast majority of users considering it also has a slot for external memory cards to store photos and videos.

Sony has made an excellent job making this phone weight only 4.06 ounces. The Sony Xperia M is sold in multiple color options: black, purple, yellow and white. This cellphone is just 0.37 inches thick, making its way into the thinnest cellphones podium.

Sony designed this cellphone with a very good 4" display, and a 854 x 480 resolution, giving this device a very nice image quality. This display uses TFT capacitive technology, and is multi-touch enabled.

The Sony Xperia M includes wi-fi connection (which can be shared with other devices around, acting as a mobile hotspot), 4G HSPA+ connection type, which is not as fast as LTE networks and fast 3G connection type, supported by HSDPA, HSUPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. This phone works with a SIM card for GSM services.

This cellphone features two cameras, a 5 MP back facing camera and a 0.3 megapixels front side camera. It is capable of shooting HD 1280x720 videos. This cellphone also has some interesting features like auto-focus, flash, face detection shooting and geo tagging.

This cellphone also features a few cool features such as NFC, Bluetooth (enables communication with other bluetooth devices, computers, and accessories) and GPS, and plenty of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.

This phone uses a good 1750 mAh Li-Ion replaceable battery, which is quite poor for a demanding phone like this. According to Sony, this phone has an estimated stand by time of 498 hours and a talk time of 10.3 hours.

This cellphone is priced $ 100, which is not so cheap for this type of device. No matter if you will use this phone majorly for internet broswing and social networks or want a gamer phone, you will definitely be very satisfied with it.
