Sony Xperia E3 review: Blue collar

26 October 2014
Sony’s cheapest LTE smartphone - that is the Xperia E3 key selling point, but is it more to it than that? It has the same design language as the Sony Xperia Z3 and Z3 Compact so the trendy looks are also here and we have the latest Android KitKat decked...

When I first got this phone I was disappointed at the fact that storage is only 1.75 GB. 1 GB is already used up by built in apps so storage is absolutely terrible. The camera works but it can be awful at times. Short WiFi range, battery life sucks. But a positive is that the screen is basically unbreakable, I have dropped it on concrete, down my stairs, on the kitchen floor without a screen protector and there is not a scratch.

But my Sony has broke, it won’t allow me to type in the password on the lock screen so it’s totally bust. It’s £50 to get it fixed and for this phone NO. Just buy a damn Samsung or iPhone yeah they cost a lot, but it’s better than this crap.

          Very good solid pretty and reliable midrange phone with high grade battery economy and general performance. Only problem is the sim card cradle is highly tricky.

            This phone isn't good at all. There is very little space to install any apps. I had to uninstall updates to bloatware just so I could install the Barclays banking app. The low resolution display didn't ever bother me though.

                        The internal memory of this phone is a joke, It is advertised as 4GB but actually it is only 1.72GB (Total Space) Most apps cannot be transferred to SD card. Every day the phone displays internal memory nearly full, transfer to SD Card, but you are unable to transfer most of the apps because they are built in and non transferable.

                              good battery life, for only 1 week from the buy!!!! now battery life max 1 day with no internet, no music... only talking time 2-3 hours max.
                              small internal memory space, SD card is not freeing as much memory as i hoped it will. its moving ok browsing the internet or social media apps.
                              Wi-Fi good but relatively short range capacity (own a samsung, bettere wi-fi range).
                              overall 7/10 phone .
