Sony Xperia E4 is budget oriented device by Sony launched in India in March.
I bought it from a local store for around the same price Rs 11700
Before going out to make my purchase, I had reviewed many other same ranged devices & had actually decided to buy Panasonic Eluga S or HTC Desire 620G as the second option.
Comparing the specs on paper, Sony stood nowhere near both of these devices.I was almost sure about my purchase until I hit the shop and did a hands on review myself.I was astonished by the results.
The resolution was way far better than the HTC Desire 620g
The new curvy design the bulgy back cover made it a more attractive device.
The 5mp camera proved to be much much better than any 8mp camera from HTC or Micromax(Even Panasonic)
It could handle several multi-tasking windows without any lag while there was no such option available in HTC or Panasonic
It had a record screen option where you could record the ongoing tasks with sound
The apps with cameras were just amazing(Sound photographs, Wide Landscapes and much much more)
Over all-It was just what I wanted
Good Battery Back Up, Optimum SAR Value, Great Camera, Vivid Sound and Picture Quality and I bought it without any second thought.
After 20 days of usage, Here’s what I figured
#Pros-
Good Battery life.Lasts over a day and half even with high internet usage
Battery Saver modes like Ultra Stamina Mode, Low Battery Mode work efffectively
Camera clicks great photographs under day light
Touch is responsive.Viewing angles are great
Auto Brightness feature adjusts quite well according to the surroundings
There’s an LED Notification bar near the front camera(Blinks white for notifications, Green while charging and Red for Low battery)
Stunning Build Quality, You’ll definitely feel good holding it
#Cons:
Camera isn’t that good in low light.Clicks average photographs.
Some inbuilt apps are of no use
Takes around 2 and half hours to charge considering the fact it has bigger battery than the same ranged devices.
Now, Over-all, Its a handy device and I’d definitely recommend it to anyone over Micromax, HTC or Samsung.Although the specs mentioned on the paper might put you in doubt about my review, But I’d say visit a local store, use it and see the difference yourself.
P.S-It is made up of strong durable material.I dropped it once from my pocket, It fell on the edge and due to the bulgy back, No damage whatsoever was done to the screen & I also got a free Sony’s flip cover with it.
