Sony Xperia M2 Review

(D2306)     See other variants reviews Score: 58.6 / 100

Sony Xperia M2 is a mid-end device launched in 2014, provisioned with an extremely powerful 1200 megahertz Quad-Core processing unit, a big 4.8 inches multi-touch screen and an 8 mega-pixels back facing camera. We will get a better idea about this phone's specs when we get into deeper details.

This phone comes with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 MSM8926 chip, which holds an exceptional Quad-Core processor running at 1200 megahertz and only 1 GB RAM memory which is a bit poor for such a powerful phone. Handling graphic rendering, it also counts with a 450 MHz Adreno 305 GPU. This phone has aquite big 8 GB internal storage memory and an external SD slot, allowing you to install hundreds of games and apps without running out of space.

This cellphone feels much lighter than what you expect from a phone of this size. Sony made this cellphone in 3 different colors, black, purple and white. The Sony Xperia M2 is quite a compact cellphone, taking into consideration it has a 4.8" screen and it's only 5.5 inches long. Being just 0.34 inches thick,the Sony Xperia M2 is extremely slim and stilized.

This device only features an 8 MP back-facing camera. It can also shoot videos up to 1920x1080 (Full HD). In addition, the camera includes multiple interesting features like auto-focus, flash, fast burst mode, digital image stabilization, smile detection shooting, face detection shooting, HDR mode and geo tagging.

This phone is equipped with a very good 4.8 inches screen with a 960 x 540 resolution, which makes everything look colorful and brightful. Its screen uses TFT capacitive technology, and can detect multi touch gestures.

This phone features Wi-Fi connection (which it can share with other devices around, as a mobile hotspot), 4G HSPA+ data connection, which is not as fast as LTE or LTE-A 4G networks and the fastest 3G connectivity, using HSDPA, HSUPA and EDGE technologies. This phone uses a SIM card for GSM networks.

This cellphone has a 2300 mAh incredible Li-Ion battery, which isn't too much for a cellphone like this. Sony reports a stand by time of 693 hours and a talk time of 14.2 hs for this device.

This phone also includes a couple nice features like NFC (Near Field Communication), Bluetooth (4.0) and GPS Localization, and plenty of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.

Sony is selling this device for 220 dollars, which is not a good offer for comparing with similar cellphones. No matter if you want a social device or want a phone to play games, this cellphone is probably very appropiate .
