Sony Xperia E Review


The Sony Xperia E and Xperia E dual are nearly identical, with the number of SIM slots the only notable hardware difference. It boils down to what makes more sense to you as a user - dual-SIM support or the more recent Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean.

Key features

Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE and -band UMTS support
7.2 Mbps HSDPA and 5.76 Mbps HSUPA
3.5" 256K-color capacitive TFT touchscreen of HVGA resolution (320 x 480)
Android OS v4.1.1 Jelly Bean
1 GHz Cortex-A5 CPU, Adreno 200 GPU, Qualcomm MSM7227A chipset
512 MB of RAM
2GB of user-accessible built-in storage (4GB total)
microSD slot (32GB supported)
3.15 MP fixed-focus camera, geo-tagging
VGA video @ 30fps
Wi-Fi b/g/n, Wi-Fi hotspot
GPS with A-GPS
Accelerometer and proximity sensor
Standard 3.5 mm audio jack
Stereo FM radio with RDS
microUSB port (charging) and stereo Bluetooth v2.1
User-accessible battery, Li-Ion 1530 mAh

Main disadvantages

Feeble chipset and uninspiring performance
Mediocre screen quality
Fixed-focus camera, No LED flash
Video recording No front-facing camera

The Sony Xperia E is yet another Qualcomm-powered 3.5-incher for Sony in the entry level market. It's got the upper hand over the likes of the Tipo and Miro (clocked at 800MHz), and probably even the Xperia J which is has the exact same 1GHz chipset but a bigger and more pixel-rich FWVGA screen. Bottom line, no record-breaking speed is to be expected here but the Xperia E will most likely get the job done for first-time smartphone users.

  1. I have been using this phone for quite a few days. the price was quite good and i was Amazed how Electronics Giant like SONY can make a smartphone so Cheap & great.

    First of all i will start with Looks, as usual SONY does't disappoint in terms of looks. it may be not glamorous looking phone but if you look closely its still great.

    it comes with Android 4.1(JellyBean) & Touch interface is quite smooth and some people are complaining about it being slow sometimes but it can be solved by stop 'Running' Apps in background in settings...

    SOUND is quite great and it comes with classical 'WALKMAN' app, its got CLEAR voice even when you are in a crowded place.

    Battery back up is great even after using hours of WiFi, 3G or GPRS/EDGE or Bluetooth.

    Whats Great is that it comes with a on-ear Headphones which is a Heaven for Music lover.

    Overall a Good Performance phone with a limited Budget..SONY has done a tremendous Job and has added me in their FAN list.
