Short Review

  • The Sony Xperia M features a compact design with dimensions of 124 x 62 x 9.3 mm and a lightweight build at 115 grams.
  • Its 4.0-inch TFT display offers a resolution of 480 x 854 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 245 ppi, suitable for basic tasks but lacking HDR support.
  • Performance is driven by a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Plus chipset with a dual-core 1.0 GHz CPU and 4GB of RAM, which provides adequate functionality for everyday use.
  • The 5 MP rear camera captures decent photos with an f/2.8 aperture, though it lacks optical image stabilization and has limited video capabilities at 720p.
  • Battery life is supported by a 1750 mAh capacity, but it does not offer fast or wireless charging options.
  • Running on Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, the software can be upgraded to 4.3, providing a familiar user experience.
  • Connectivity options include Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, and NFC, enhancing its versatility.
  • The phone is available in multiple colors, including Black, White, Purple, and Yellow.
  • Notably, it lacks a stereo speaker setup but does include a headphone jack for audio output.
  • Overall, the Xperia M is a basic smartphone that meets essential needs without advanced features.
