      AnonD-178959, 31 Aug 2013Average Sony phone again.They continue to cheapskate on dis... moreI fully agree with you. Sony xm is a very cheap phone. What u get is what u paid for. Screen is far better on my xolo q700. Built quality is less than average with sqeeking plastic all around. Display is straight from a cheep Chinese vendor. Can't really compare with xperia p or u or sola. Tough competitor for micromax etc. if u want a fast chipset and graphics with poor display from a reputed company, there's hardly anything that can beat it.

          I brought this cell two days back... its fast snappy and delight to use...
          not so sexy (cant expect it to be at 12500rupees)
          the first thing i checked was
          BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED ALLOWED: NO
          thats was unexpected .... as its not a free sim phone

                [deleted post]Sorry! I meant she is not a gamer! But Asphalt 7 and 8 was installed and tried by me, 7 worked flawlessly while 8 overheated it a lot! But is a good gamer device.

                Move obb file/folder to sdcard and then while gaming put it back to the phone emory, that way u can temporarily solve memory issue!

                  As you have read this entire review, this is the best phone in its class! no one can compete with it, performance n battery life are awesome. Camera n whitebalance will be fixed via update....
                  So dont think much just buy it.

                  Only if you are flexible with your choice of OS and are fine with lumia 520, then that is this phone's strongest contender! Else just buy xperia m!

                  Bought it for my mom! She is a gamer so all usual apps and some average running games! Heats while on internet but every phone does! So overall this is d best phone out there....

                    AnonD-43136, 01 Sep 2013Performance should be identical to xperia L which is above ... morePerformance numbers are in the review, and you can see clearly that its not the same. The M actually betters the L in some cases but mostly its left behind. They do not use the same chipset, things like cache size is not the same, L is generally a little better but they are both ok. Whats more important is that they have the same GPU, class leading.

                          As a phone with couple of productivity app and a few more for killing time,the difference would be undetectable.
                          P.S.enjoy your games at 4" ;)

                              Only problem with T is the gaming peformance compared to L and M as some how sony has done a great job with the latest phones- just check the evidence on youtube!

                                  And finally,prefer to have an excellent screen than few points more in sintetic bench.

Just think why sony is offering so much features in such a price why not Samsung or htc?? Think

So, U is clearly better for me, and even if I load up 2GB MP3 I have lots of space left. I understand that U is somewhat limited for those using it as their only phone, but M is more limited still.
