Description

Sony Xperia E is an affordable and compact for today's standards featuring Sony's recognizable design language. The stand-out feature Sony wants us to note in the Xperia E is HD Voice, the purpose of which is to noticeably boost the sound quality of phone calls. When it comes to specs, the Xperia E will deliver a mid-range experience with its 3.5" HVGA touchscreen and 1GHz processor. Let's hope that Jelly Bean's Project Butter will help get rid of the lag. Sony also claims that we'll be surprised by the battery life of the device. The 1500 mAh battery will benefit from a special extended stand-by mode designed to increase overall battery life. Basically, when the phone's sleeping, it will disable all functions except for calling and messaging, and once you wake it up, all functions will be restored to their normal state. Of course, users will be able to enjoy Sony's "Walkman" music experience, as well as the xLOUD sound technology, which works really well in most Sony smartphones.

This device is also known as Sony C1505, Sony C1504

At least it is cheap

Phone owned for more than a year

It is cheap, but it definetly isn't worth it, even though it is €80, it is slow, it has a very low amount of memory, I have used it for almost 2 years, and I have performed 3 factory resets, it is a horrible phone, please don't buy it.

Pretty bad phone

I've got this phone and it drives me up the wall, so slow can have about 3 apps because the memory is so poor and you can't move apps onto SD Cards unless you root the device. Some might say its good value for money as its cheap but the only reason I have this phone is because its on a contract with my PS4 and I have many times considered just buying another phone and putting my sim in there before I smash the phone to pieces because of the slow speed.
