Short Review

  • The Sony Ericsson Xperia Duo features a sleek design with a 4.5-inch LED-backlit LCD display, offering a resolution of 540 x 960 pixels and a pixel density of approximately 256 ppi.
  • Performance is driven by a Qualcomm MSM8260 Snapdragon S3 chipset, dual-core 1.4 GHz Scorpion CPU, and Adreno 220 GPU, supported by 1.5GB of RAM.
  • The rear camera boasts a 12 MP sensor with autofocus, capable of recording video, while the front camera is absent.
  • Battery capacity is 2500 mAh, providing adequate power without fast or wireless charging options.
  • The device runs on Android 2.3 (Gingerbread), which may feel outdated compared to newer operating systems.
  • Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 2.1, and microUSB 2.0, but it lacks 5G and NFC capabilities.
  • The phone is available in a classic black color, though details on materials and water resistance are unspecified.
  • Overall, the Xperia Duo combines solid performance with a functional camera and display, but its software and battery features may not meet modern expectations.
