GIZMO REVIEW Sony Xperia C
5-inch (960 x 540 pixels) TFT, quad core 1.2Ghz processor, 1GB RAM, 4GB + microSD, 8MP rear + VGA front camera, dual SIM, 2,390mAh, 153 grams Fantastic display, powerful hardware, blazing fast performance, battery life Average rear camera, non expandable storage, stereo speaker placement
When it comes to dual SIM phablets, there are limited options available from global brands. To get a share of this growing segment, Sony has launched the Xperia C.
In terms of looks, Xperia C resembles the Xperia Z. It has a 5-inch display with a resolution of 960 x 540 pixels — disappointing considering that you can get full HD screens in this price. While the display has good viewing angles with natural colours, individual pixels are visible on close inspection. We do think that the build quality is great and the phone feels solid.
Hardware consists of a 1.2Ghz quad core processor, 1GB RAM and 4GB internal storage (expandable). As expected, the phone performs great for day-to-day usage i.e calls, web browsing and multimedia. We felt the phone struggling with gaming — there were random frame drops in Asphalt and Dead Trigger. Basic games like Subway surfers and Angry Birds Go ran without a hitch.
For photography, the 8MP rear camera takes excellent images with natural colours and good details. Noise is visible in images taken indoors, but they are still good enough for sharing with family and friends. The full HD video recording was a slight disappointment as we noticed it getting choppy more than once. Battery life is impressive — with mixed type of usage, it easily lasted over a day. The Xperia C is a great option if you want a branded dual SIM smartphone with premium looks without spending too much. However, for the same price, you should also consider the LG G Pro lite. It has a larger display, better battery life and an IR emitter with universal remote functions. 21490/
