So, another much awaited budget friendly ( was supposed to ) smartphone, the Sony Xperia M2 was launched in India 2 days back with the price tag of 22k INR! The predecessor of this phone, xperia m was really popular, especially for its price tag but the newly launched xperia m2 is nowhere near it!
Sony xperia M was only successful until Moto G with its incredible specs at the most reasonable price you could imagine came in! This created a impression in customer's mind that what was it like to use a budget device!
Sony Xperia M2 was first expected to launch with a price tag of around 17k because the only thing different in it from the Moto G was the camera which is not that great but just better than the Moto G!
So, we are here to going to take a much deeper look at the mistakes that Sony did which can affect it's second position in India!
DESIGN, SAME OLD SONY!
The design of the new Sony Xperia M2 is no exception of what you see in other Sony phones but when you compare with it's predecessor, it is a nice upgrade from the plastic built! But we already saw this design in most of the Sony's phones and i think it's time to change!
The phone has the same button layout and flaps BUT THE SURPRISING THING TO FOCUS ON HERE IS THAT THIS PHONE IS NOT WATERPROOF ( I am shocked too) ! It is a nice looking phone overall but i think that design is getting pretty boring!
SCREEN IS NO GOOD!
Resolution is the most serious issue. It's a 960 x 540 pixel screen that is 4.8-inches across. This gives a relatively low pixel density of 229ppi, and you can tell. Text looks less sharp than it would on a Z2 or – more importantly – a Motorola Moto G. I don't know what is wrong with Sony, but whatever they are doing, i hope they have a plan!
This is a shame, and it's the one part of the phone I find genuinely disappointing. Sony boasts about having the largest-in-class qHD screen in its release materials, but that's actually a bad thing.
The screen is dull, viewing angles are decent, outdoor visibility is not up to the mark and what not!
CAMERA IS LITTLE BETTER BUT NOT THAT MUCH!
We have already seen two aspects where Xperia M2 is perfectly crushed by the Moto G or any other phone in that range but i think camera is the area where Xperia M2 can shine!
The M2 rocks a 8MP shooter with a single LED that is capable of taking decent photos in sufficient lighting and as expected it is almost useless in low light!
The camera is capable of recording full HD videos if you were curious! Effects like HDR are also present if you wanna mess around with the settings!
PERFORMANCE IS NO SURPRISE TOO!
The phone comes with 1.2ghz quad core cortex-A7 processor with the Adreno 305 assisted with 1GB RAM!
The specs are really behind time and match exactly with the Moto G! This phone is capable of giving you a near smooth experience and you can play high end games on low graphics!
SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE.
When we talk about the software, this phone again shockingly comes with the older android jellybean 4.3 which as said by Sony will be updated to android kitkat and we hope it does given the specs!
On the top of that, we have the timescape UI which is always great and can be dealt with!
On the hardware department, the phone offers a lot of options including NFC, USB OTG, Bluetooth 4.0, and Wifi Direct!
The phone also alike all Sony phones offers the ability to expand the storage via micro-SD card and the memory can be expanded up to 32GB! The internal storage is 8GB!
Phone comes with a NON-REMOVABLE 2300 mAh battery which is capable of giving you a full day on moderate usage!
Reception is never a concern in Sony phones and this particular device is no exception!
TO SUM UP...
The Xperia M2 is a great device if you neglect the price which we obviously can't! So until the price of the xperia M2 drops hopefully up to 16k-17k, you should avoid it!
If you want a phone in that range, you can opt for the HTC desire 816 or the Moto X! If you don't want a better camera, then go for the Moto G and save almost 10k!
