As the market analysis shows, in the model rangephones from Sony dominated by devices from the upper price segment. Smartphone Sony Xperia E Dual, whose review is presented below - this is one of the rare exceptions to this rule.
If you look at the device at a distanceoutstretched hand, it looks quite interesting. In the design of the device there is a corporate logo of the company, marked with bright symbols. In addition to the display, on the front surface there is a slot for the speaker for conversations at the top and a microphone for the bottom. Similar to other modifications made by this manufacturer, here the left end has no functional purpose. It has only a microUSB slot for connecting the Sony Xperia E Dual to a charger or a computer. On the opposite side you can see the volume control, the direct activation key of the camera, and the on / off button made of metal. For them it is characteristic though slightly taut, but rather a clear move. The headphone output is placed on the top face.
The back of the model is made of plastic andis allocated to it by embossed pattern. Due to the haze of its surface, fingerprints and other minor dirt are almost invisible on the Sony Xperia E Dual. The reviews of many device owners at the same time indicate that the quality of the plastic used leaves much to be desired. On the back cover there are three functional holes: for the speaker, one of the microphones and the camera's eye.
The display of the phone in 3.5 inches and a resolution of 320 x480 points of others could be surprised, except at the beginning of this century. Now, such a screen with a TFT-matrix is often the main reason for not choosing in favor of this model for many potential buyers. Why the manufacturer persistently does not want to switch to IPS technology, which is much better quality and more efficient, still remains a mystery. Even the application of Sony's Xperia E Dual image enhancement software, known as the Bravia Engine, does not compensate for half of the shortcomings associated with the display. Vertical angles at the screen can be called quite acceptable. However, when the device hits the sunlight, the picture becomes almost unreadable. The distance from the matrix to the protective glass is almost one millimeter, which significantly aggravates the situation. In this case, do not forget about the huge incomprehensible framework surrounding the screen.
Smartphone Sony Xperia E Dual, specificationswhich does not differ much from other modifications from its price segment, is equipped with a Qualcomm processor consisting of a single core. It operates at a clock frequency of 1 GHz. The device uses a built-in storage device, the volume of which is 4 gigabytes. It should be noted that the nuance that only slightly more than half of this space is available to the user. The performance of the device does not even reach the average level. As for RAM, this indicator is not impressive either - just 512 megabytes.
Both SIM cards are active when they arestay in the standby mode. However, because of a single module, one of the cards is blocked during a telephone conversation on the other. This kind of solution has only one advantage, which is reduced energy consumption.
The Sony Xperia E Dual is equipped with a camera on3 megapixels without flash and auto focus. The images obtained with her help are not of high quality. The colors of the picture are slightly distorted, while it itself turns out to be somewhat blurry. The number of settings and shooting modes is limited here. One can not but note the fact that the smartphone does not have an additional front camera, with which it would be possible to make video calls.
Subject to medium load (not the most activeInternet use and infrequent calls) a full charge of the battery pack will calmly last a whole day. In the event that the device is used exclusively for telephone conversations, the charge can last for several days. All this can be explained not by the highest performance of the device.
In general, the modification of the Sony Xperia E Dual isstandard budget smartphone. For the money that is asked for, you can purchase some devices from competing companies with more impressive technical characteristics. The fact is that in its price segment there are models that have more capacious batteries, high-quality cameras and displays created using IPS technology. The only worthy justification for buying this model can be called unless the support for working with two SIM cards. As for the most significant shortcomings of this device, it is its overestimated cost, unsuccessful design of the back cover of the case, as well as a morally outdated camera.
