razzs, 01 Dec 2016mine Xperia m hasn't died yet yipeee......3 years and going... moreRazzs, beware, after 3 years of use Xperia M can die any day. I recommend you to stop using this phone or at least backup often your data. After approximately 3 years of usage my Xperia M started behaving erratically and then only "type password to decrypt storage" showed on the screen without possibility to continue. Many Xperia M users reported same thing on the net. The internal memory of the phone is corrupted and repair would probably cost more than a new budget phone. Plus it was not only problem I had with Xperia M - GPS was faulty and practically unusable on my phone from the start. I looked for solution for a long time in vain. Again, many people report same problem with GPS. There were days that Sony meant a quality but today sadly it means the opposite. And it's not only about cheaper Sony phones, read for example Xperia Z3 Compact thread here on GSMArena, it's like a horror story.

razzs, 01 Dec 2016mine Xperia m hasn't died yet yipeee......3 years and going... moreCoz you rooted it... So the same if rooted device we can say the same, but I agree with previous user - Xperia M is worst smartphone how can I see now. Wjy I bought it 4 years ago I don't know. Slow, camera worst, battery drain fast, memory in the phone is only 1.2 GB (from GB), impossible to move to SD card. Even if you rooted you still can't move to sd, need to install or 6 version operating system like you do: Unofficial 7 or 6 version (it's not official Marshmallow and Nougat version, it's created by developers team, Sony don't releasing it)... For few world it's disaster :) Now I have very good smartphone: fast 2ram, big memory 10 for user from 16 gb, with good 13 both camera and ect...

I had this phone for 3 years, last month it died and I do not regret it much. This phone has several big downsides - very low internal memory (2GB available and apps moving to SD is not possible), not much sensitive GPS (sometimes I couldn't get a fix at all outdoor) and small battery (with moderate use it often did not last even a day). Otherwise it worked quite well for a budget phone from 2013 but now there are much better budget phones.

KB, 16 Nov 2016awesome phoneSh...t but not phone, low memory, slow, camera is worst and ect. Why I bought it two years ago I don't know. I have now much more better smartphone from Sony and I advice to don't buy this one and buy other. Xperia M is not good device, but if you don't need to capture pics, it's not important memory, if you don't need install more apps, if for you is not important speed of smartphone, then it's not so bad...

Anonymous, 27 Oct 2016This user lied, Xperia M official will not get Marshmallow,... moreYes you're right..
The point is Sony has been done in software update for this device, that's why 4.3 Jellybean is last Official firmware from Sony
Otherside, Android is open source OS which can modify and built by anyone. In XDA some guys been work build new Android OS for Xperia M (also dual) it been in near stable state of Marshmallow base and still beta in Nougat. That firmware is NOT official from SONY so all Sony's feature is gone only pure features from Android.
So This Firmware is fake or just myth or maybe dream?
Nope, this firmware is exist. The firmware is based official Android codebase (AOSP code) so all Android features has built-in .Check it in XDA forum Xperia M for more info
What about warranty service from Sony?
Sorry, if you use this Unofficial firmware your official warranty will void too so Sony will decline for free repair service. One of the step is void warranty (rooting, UBL and more) It writed in warranty card.
Sure, this step is full of risks. You still can stay in Jellybean too but belive me, Xperia M can beyond than Jellybean...

RRB, 27 Oct 2016How to update marshmallow?This user lied, Xperia M official will not get Marshmallow, Jelly bean is the last and latest operating system for this model. Marshmallow you can flash only created version by developers team of Xda if i'm not wrong. But this version is not official Sony version of Marshmallow, also if you flash this version i'm afraid Sony will not give you technical support and if you have any warranty it will void it. For unofficial flash Marshmallow need root your smartphone.

Anonymous, 23 Oct 2016Yeah, Jellybean is last official firmware from sony. But if... moreBy the way if you want to move to sd card no need to flash new operating system, possible to root you smartphone... But you talking about things which void your warranty if you have one, also you losing help from Sony if will be breaked your smartphone, coz Sony agents will ask you about operating system or you will talk about it yourself first... Anyway i'm not recommend to flash operating systems from developers coz that is unofficial and havn't many features from Sony like help, support and ect
