Sony Xperia M2 Review

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

Sony Xperia M2 is a solid phone released back in 2014, packing a very powerful 1.2 GHz Quad-Core processor, a big 4.8 inches multi-touch screen and an 8 mega-pixels back facing camera.

This cellphone is a compact phone, taking into account that it has a 4.8" screen and it's just 5.5 inches long. Being just 0.34" thick,this cellphone is slim and comfortable. This cellphone is much lighter than what you expect from a cellphone of this size. This phone is offerred in three color options, black, purple and white.

Sony designed the Sony Xperia M2 with a interesting 4.8-inches display, and a resolution of 960 x 540 , which makes it hard to distinguish the pixels in the display. This display uses TFT capacitive technology, and allows multi-touch for gestures like pinch and zoom.

The Sony Xperia M2 comes with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 MSM8926 system chip, backed up by an extremely fast Quad-Core CPU speeding at 1200 MHz with only 1 GB of RAM which is a little bit poor for a phone this good. Graphic intensive tasks usually eats a lot of CPU processing time, so this cellphone also has an extra Adreno 305 GPU running at 450 megahertz to take some work out of the CPU. The Sony Xperia M2 comes with a good 8 GB internal storage memory and an external memory slot, allowing you to install a couple hundred apps without any problem.

This phone includes Wi-Fi connectivity (which can be provided to other devices acting as a mobile hotspot), 4G HSPA+ connectivity, which is not as fast as LTE-A or LTE 4G networks and fast 3G internet connection, supported by HSDPA, HSUPA and EDGE technologies. This phone uses 2 SIM cards to be able to to work with two different carriers or phone numbers at the same time.

This cellphone is equipped with only an 8 MP back facing camera. It can also shoot videos in Full HD 1920x1080. This cellphone also has a lot of valuable characteristics: auto-focus, flash, fast burst mode, digital image stabilization, face detection shooting, HDR mode, smile detection shooting and geo tagging.

This cellphone also includes a couple of useful features like NFC (to trigger actions, transfer data or make payments by holding your device close to another NFC device or tag), Bluetooth and GPS Geolocation, and plenty of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.

This phone features a great 2300 mAh Li-Ion replaceable battery providing the Sony Xperia M2 a quite long battery life. According to Sony, the Sony Xperia M2 has a reported 693 hs stand by time and a 14.2 hs talk time.

Sony is offering the Sony Xperia M2 for $ 170, which is a really high price for comparing with similar cellphones. The Sony Xperia M2 is a good choice for you if you will use it to play tons of games or want a device to mostly use social networks.
