Sony Xperia E review: E-lementary

22 April 2013

Most of the 3D apps can't run properly on that E because Android always require mass resource to run properly and you know it while Windows Phone OS is opposite. It doesn't require a ton of resources to run things smoothly on it. Almost every major app is now available on WP store and WP is stable not broken like you wrote but I guess I am talking with some arrogant boy here right?

    I would choose Xperia E if I wanted to buy an entry level smartphone, its a Sony, not Nokia which is history, and I still get hundreds of thousands of apps, not some broken OS.

      With such hardware specs,it should be running gb or ics. Poor screen and camera. 512 ram on android jellybean? Nokia offers better screen,camera and dual core. NL520 offers better experience with 512 ram than with this. Same price range. Well done nokia.

                Nokia Lumia 520 is better when it comes to camera, the 5Mp and the auto-focus is a plus.

                    AnonD-78488, 22 Apr 2013In the entry level, for a little extra the Nokia Lumia 520 ... moreDude lumia 520 outdoes dual core 350$ androids and quad core nexus 4 and s3 in some benchmarks(read review). I think its best phone with highest performance to price ratio. Dual core krait at 180$ with adreno 305 can't ask for more.

                            All these pieces of junk are "alternatives" to the Sony Xperia E?
                            Anyway, Sony is on track to claim back the top spot, whether Sammy boys like it or not

                                The worst smartphone I've ever seen. 3.15mp fixed focus camera??? Looks like i've been brought back to 10 yrs ago. Try Ascend G510- 4.5"FWVGA screen, dual sim, dual core, 5mp auto focus camera with lower price.

                                        Any Android mobile with 512 RAM is a complete waste of money. Perhaps Windows is the only OS that can work reasonably with such little RAM, but there are far too many issues and limitation with Android, where it is essentially rubbish bin material within a short time. Why do manufacturers persist with this. Surely the incremental cost of a full 1 of RAM is nothing but a few cents to them. What is the problem. Oh, Margins! Of course, cheap rubbish RAM and material just to chase margins and volume.
