General Observation & Verdict

We believe it is indeed a refreshing design from house of SONY but we were slightly disappointed by RAM – most of the current generation smartphones are coming with latest Android (Lollipop) and better RAM at same price.

We are particularly impressed with 2300 mAh churning 2 days of battery mode due to inbuilt software. Thanks to IPS technology, this Sony smartphone offers an improved viewing angle. So you get super sharp images and accurate colours, no matter which angle you’re looking at your device from.
