Sony Xperia C Pro Reviews

We've always stood firmly behind the idea that any smartphone should be viewed as a package, and not simply as the cumulative score of each individual piece of hardware and software inside. This is especially true for budget-friendly devices like the Xperia C, as no manufacturer has really managed to offer a no-compromise device just yet. But we must be getting closer, as even Sony, with its traditionally expensive products, is now rising to the challenge. Of course, considering that the Xperia C was created with Asia and the Middle East and Africa in mind, we do have to note that its price of about $230 (¥1388) is on the higher end of the budget spectrum. This means that local superstars, like Xiaomi and ZTE, have their phones going for considerably less – about $130 (¥799) for both the dual-SIM Xiaomi HongMi and ZTE v967s, for example. Both of these sport a better, 720p screen, and the former even runs a better chipset and a comparable shooter. All said, you still get an all-round great bundle with Xperia C, and one worthy of bearing the Sony logo on its back. So in conclusion, we actually enjoyed fondling with the Sony Xperia C, and that speaks volumes on its own. Individual things, like the display, could have been better, yet at the end of the day, they felt perfectly adequate.
