Sony Xperia E1 and Xperia E1 Dual Price
Sony Xperia E1 Review
Several mobile phone brands, such as Qmobile, Megagate and Voice Mobile are rapidly introducing low cost phones in Pakistan’s cell-phone market. As a consequence, the more well-established companies are gradually losing their market share due to their overly expensive products. Keeping this is mind, Sony Xperia E1 is about to be released by the Korean company to compete with other popular budget-friendly smartphones.
Even though Sony Xperia E1 Dual price tag is small, the device still maintains the company’s image for good quality. Check out the features which make it an attractive device among other upcoming smartphones in 2014.
Elegant Outlook:
The mid-range device carries an elegant outlook which defines all other members of the Xperia family. The rectangular candy-bar handset is 12 mm thick and 118 mm long with a width of 62.4 mm. Thus, the device is both portable as well as appropriately large for a pleasant display and touch-screen experience. Moreover, it measure 122 grams in weight and, therefore, does not feel bulky.
The phone will be available in three colors. Other than white and black, purple is also a shade you can go for.
Quality Display:
Pixel density of 233 PPI contributes towards a great resolution for the phone’s 4.0 inch screen. In addition, perfect vibrancy comes from 16M colors. The touch experience will also be satisfying owing to TFT capacitive technology and up to two fingers multi-touch support. You will also enjoy the smooth and user-friendly Timescape user interface.
The external glass screen covering this impressive display is itself protected as it is scratch resistance. Therefore, your phone won’t show the signs of wear and tear as it will remain your companion for years to come.
Impressive Audio:
The impressive display feels exceptional when paired with the phone’s audio quality. Enjoy your music as well as videos which are enhanced by ClearAudio+. In addition, XLoud technology also plays a role in maintaining the clarity of sound, particularly when the volume is high.
A dedicated key for Walkman app makes the device even more attractive to music lovers. There is also shuffle support through music app shake.
Powerful Processing:
The processing power of this entry-level gadget is quite surprising. Its dual-core Cortex A 7 processor operates at a speed which is no less than 1.2 GHz. This is perfect for a smooth startup, fast loading of apps and a delightful multitasking experience. Moreover, Qualcomm Snapdragon 200 MSM8210 adds to efficiency of the CPU.
In addition, Android’s up-to-date operating system makes things even better. Jelly Bean 4.3 leads to an excellent performance. You will have plenty of updated apps and a refined user interface to work with.
Camera with Latest Features:
The phone lacks a front camera, but the lens at the back will let you indulge in a decent and pleasurable photography experience. It is a 3.15 MP camera with impressive 2048 by 1536 pixel resolution. You will find the latest features, such as face detection, smile detection and image stabilization to shoot high quality snaps. In addition, HDR and panorama shots further support the camera’s advanced functionality. Furthermore, it also enables video capturing in WVGA format. These features are great keeping in mind the low Sony Xperia E1 dual price in Pakistan.
Connectivity and Networks:
The phone works on 2G as well as 3G networking standards. In addition, fast internet connections can also be established through Wi-Fi. The device can also serve you as a Wi-Fi hotspot, so that you can share the internet services with other gadgets including your laptop and Smart TV.
Other options for getting on the World Wide Web include GPRS and Edge. Connectivity through the former is established at a speed of 86 kbps while the latter provides 237 Kbps internet speed.
Since it is a dual-SIM model, you can avail two mobile networks simultaneously. Your extra SIM will be on stand-by for use as a back-up.
Adequate Battery Power:
Powering up the device is an average 1700 mAh battery. It works fairly well to provide as many as eight hours and thirteen minutes of talk-time plus 366 hours of standby time. This power is slightly greater than some of the mid-range predecessors of the phone, such as Xperia P which houses a 1500 mAh battery.
Memory and Apps:
With 4GB onboard memory and 512 MB RAM, average users will have plenty of storage space. For users who need more, the memory card slot will serve well as it expands the space to as many as 32 GB. This will create room for more apps to be downloaded in addition to the ones which are pre-installed. Among other great accomplishments, SNS integration, Document Viewer and BOX cloud storage are some of the most useful ones. Enjoy more by downloading your favorite applications from the app store.
Bottom Line:
In conclusion, the phone proves to be a better choice among other budget-friendly smartphones out there. Enjoy decent features along with Sony’s impressive quality standards.
