In the recent months, we have seen many Indian and Chinese brands offer plenty of affordable smartphones in the Indian market. A few of these affordable smartphones have been getting good response from the consumers, thus forcing the established brands to look at offering smartphones at a lower price points in order to compete with them.
Xperia E dual is an affordable dual-SIM smartphone from Sony. The company seems to be targeting value seeker through this phone. Let's see if this smartphone fits that bill.
Design/ Build
Sony Xperia E dual is an interesting looking smartphone. It has a 3.5-inch HVGA display that will appeal to those who do not wish to own a large screen smartphone. The smartphone is also easy to hold and fits easily in the pocket.
However from the pure design point of view, Sony Xperia E dual does not bring anything new to the table. It has a very conventional rectangular design with a chrome strip running across the borders.
Having said that, this smartphone looks better than the Sony Xperia tipo dual, which is the other sub-Rs. 10,000 dual-SIM smartphone that the company offers. Sony Xperia tipo dual has a mere 3.2-inch screen, which makes the display of the Xperia E slightly larger. Moreover, Sony Xperia tipo dual weighed 99.4 grams and looked slightly bulky. In comparison, Xperia E weighs slightly more at 115.7 grams but thanks to its rectangular shape and slimmer profile, does not look plump.
Most of the screen is taken up by the 3.5-inch display and there are three capacitive buttons just below it for Home, Back and Menu. These buttons are not backlit, which makes them a bit difficult to use in dark. A nice addition to the design of the Sony Xperia E dual is a small LED light near the earpiece and an entire strip below the capacitive buttons. The colour of this LED strip matches the colour of theme selected by user and can be changed as per user preferences.
