Sony Xperia E is still uses Adreno 200 for the GPU. Choose Xperia L if you like Android.

                    I've had the phone for a fortnight and already I've had to do a full system reset just to fix my phone. I wasnt able to see any texts that I had sent or recieved and my phone kept on resetting itself. Its a good phone but the software isn't the best but what do you expect for a budget phone I suppose.

                          If you take photo in aspect ratio 16:9 the resolution is 3088*1744 that means 5.4mp if the aspect ratio is 4:3 then the resolution is 2848*2144 that means 6.1mp but nokia specified that camera is 6.7mp

                              Hi Guys,

                              I have been using 520 for almost 1 month now, very satisfied with the performance. Here is what I feel

                              1) Really fast despite of 512mb RAM, doesn't lag at all
                              2) I found all my required apps which I had in my android
                              3) Screen quality is good for the price, but outdoor visibility is not par
                              4) Whatsapp works great after the recent update
                              5) Nokia Music is awesome, so far downloaded 100+ songs for free
                              6) Camera quality is good in outdoors, for indoor requires good lighting and lot of cool lenses available.
                              7) I made a study on number of apps available in the Market, it is around 99K apps where as android had only 16K apps in its first year. This proves Windows app store is growing in a strong rate.
                              8) Facebook app is working fast and flawless.
                              9) plays videos without conversion (MPEG4)
                              10)Crashed only once while gaming
                              11) Navigation works great, offline map is really handy.

                              Downside
                              1) Couldn't play mkv videos
                              2) No call recorder, Windows 8 doesn't allow 3rd party app to use mic while in call
                              3) No equalizer and surround enhancement
                              4) No FM radio till Amber update
                              5) Missing the notification center

                                      [deleted post]Dude rebranding is not a bad thing as you think... Its a great way of marketing... For example do you know about India's most selling Mini SUV Renault Duster?
                                      its actually a rebranded vehicle from Romanian automaker Dacia... Not from the reputed French Renault but it leads in its segment... That's how rebranding works in a highly price sensitive market like India..
