This is my first android phone and I bought this phone after much comparisons & reviews which made it clear to me that this would be the best handset suitable in my range.
My specifications were
Android with latest OS
Large screen (but not that large that it gets difficult to hold)
Good camera
In my budget
This phone hasn’t disappointed me in any of these criteria. My brother has galaxy note which was way too difficult for me to handle, secondary I realized that few gaming apps that used hang up his phone time and again were much more smooth on xperia. Its charger is another amazing thing, it charges up the phone in 1 hour, in fact my bro has started using my mobile charger instead of his for the very same reason. I bought my phone from croma retail where I was getting a free sony portable usb charger with this phone, which was another amazing thing.
Overall, it has been a value for money purchase for me.
