Confessions of an AudioPhile...!!
By Vijeesh Chakkingalon
Search for a VFM fone had begun as I was bored of my old Samsung Fit( it was a trustworthy fone though...) Budget was a constraint and so I was flipping thorugh Flipkart mobile page daily. But alas...none did catch my attention and the ones that did were out of my league.
I was very stubborn about my requirments-
1. Not a big fanboy of 5+ inch fones...I needed something small and comfortable to hold and speak.
2. Good sound quality of songs as I am a big music lover. Constant travel during weekends had taught me that headfones are your next best companion apart from your friend who offers you free chips :-)
3. Casual gaming (Subway surfer, temple run sort) with which you could keep your pestering cousins at bay for a while :-)
4. Good call clarity with usual connectivity options.
And then One day Voila....I was amazed by this sleek looking beauty during my casual surfing. This device was within my budget and the critics were also showering praise on this cute little gadget. My (curious mind + my impatient heart) went to work. Read reviews, watched reviews and ate reviews. Finally I was convinced that she was the one I want to spend the rest of my life with (atleast 2 years ;) ..)
Went to a local dealer and checked the model. Suited each and everyone of my requirements perfectly.
1. 4 inch screen...very nice to hold and slim too.
2. Superb audio clarity....different options like Clear Audio, Xloud and all....the headfones bundled with this are decent enough...Also got a Sony Headfone as Offer!!
3. Subway surfer, Temple run runs without any lags.
4. Amazing call clarity!!
5. Notification light...Oh how much I do love you!
Plus lot of features like NFC and screen mirroring. Internal memory and battery may be quoted as a weak point but I am getting enough juice for one whole day with few calls, games , whatsapp and all.Trust me...you will love every bit of this fone. For this price its a perfect companion for your hard earned money..!!
So I will modify Nike's tagline a bit and say... "JUST BUY IT." :-D
Awesome and what the hell
By Ayush Dudheriaon
As usual , Flipkart delivered it in just 2 days .. I bought the white variant as it has better looks than the black one , but you have to take extra care as it will get dirty..
The phone is damn AWESOME! I earlier thought to buy the Galaxy Core , but it quite slow and has an old GPU ..
Display : It is only 4 inches .. It's touch is good but it does get dirty ... I don't need a screen which is more than 4 inches , that's why I went for it rather than Xperia L and Galaxy Core.. It also has great viewing angles..
Scores 8.5/10
Camera : By default it is set on 3 megapixels.. You can change it to 5 megapixel but the resolution turns into 4:3 which is small ..For this I would recommend an app named Camera FX Zoom which will make the resolution 16:9 and 5 megapixel.. Low-light pictures are just fine, but the pictures taken in day-light are awesome with the feature HDR turned on .. It also has a front camera which can be used for video calling ..
Low- light photo's = 8/10
Day-light photo's = 9/10
Looks : It's looks are great .. It's back is slightly curved which makes it even better...
Scores 9/10
Processor: It's Qualcomm and Snapdragon S4 and has 1GB of RAM .. It is lightning fast and can easily run any kind of app with it's Adreno 305 GPU .. It can even run Asphalt 8 so Temple Run is a piece of cake for it..
Scores 10/10
Sound Quality : It is just too loud .. It even beats the Xperia C and Xperia L which are almost 7-8 k costlier than this.. Music in headphones is also good with it..
Scores 9.5/10
Internal Storage : To be frank , it is low .. Only 2.05 GB is not enough for me .. But there's always an option i.e., Rooting!
Scores 7/10
Battery : It works for a whole day on average usage i.e., 1 hour of high graphic gaming , half an hour of calls and 1 hour of Facebook , WhatsApp and other random things ..There are also many battery saving modes..
Scores 9/10
Other Features : This phone has NFC , which is seriously quite useful and awesome.. It also has awesome notification light..Small apps is also a good feature.. It is like the multi-window thingy..
But there's one thing I din't like is that there has been no update ever since this phone has been released .. My brother has Xperia L and it just had 2-3 updates and it has been updated to Android 4.2 Jelly Bean .. Sony has also confirmed to update Xperia L to 4.3 Android .. But Sony is telling nothing about my phone and updates of it..
All in all , this is a killer phone ..
UPDATE
30th January 2014
This phone fell from about two foot of height and fell down and swoooosh! The display was TOTALLY SHATTERED.. The price to repair the display at Kolkata is 6,500 INR and the Sony people are having my phone for more than 2 weeks! They are saying that getting Xperia M's display is no easy task.. People keep saying horrible things about Xolo , Micromax service stations but have they ever went a Sony service center? I was there for almost 3 hours and tomorrow will be third week they are having my phone and they have not even received the part.. This maybe even badder than the Xolo things..
Phone is extremely sensitive and may break from a single fall so make sure you buy a case.. Believe me Sony service is the worst .. Next time I will definitely buy a Samsung one .. I guess Samsung's service and build quality would not be so bad .. Horrible experience this was ..
Build Quality - 1/10
The Knight in Shining Armour
By Suhaibon
Peace be with you all
After much research and review scan i purchased Xperia M and i must say i m very impressed with this black beauty. this is my second android phone. First one was Galaxy Ace.
-> the interface is very fluid thanks to 1 GB RAM. i did not notice any lag what so ever.
Animations and themes are cool.
-> with dual core snapdragon processor multiprocessing is a piece of cake. open multiple apps and go crazy switching from one to another. it is much better than the cortex used in Samsung phones.
-> Display, i must say is very good. i mean my friend uses HTC One X and when we held our phones in sunlight. his display was so reflective, it became a mirror but not my xperia m.
-> user available internal space is low but you can free a lot of it by removing pre-installed apps and also you can move the sample media (videos, pictures) from internal to sd-card. it can be easily done via settings->storage.
-> camera is average in low light conditions but performs very well in good light. remember to change the resolution to 5M in camera settings.
-> after suffering from low battery of galaxy ace, xperia m is a big relief.
To sum up, this is the best budget android phone you can ever dream of. I got it for 12k from flipkart.
Alhumdullilah. i am satisfied with my Xperia.
p.s. thank you all the people who wrote an honest review which made it easy to choose this phone. and for those who have not used the phone and post negative reviews just on assumption, i am marking there post as "report abuse".
UPDATE:
Using it for almost 6 months now. I m completely satisfied with Xperia M but there is one important thing I want the people to know who are thinking to buy this phone.
As u may know Xperia M has only 2 GB user available internal storage. That is fine but what most of us don't know is that u cannot move or install apps on sd card. Even the "app data" which can be very big in size like that of games u have to keep that on phone memory. So I would not recommend this phone for people who r into games or who install lots of apps. There is no doubt this phone runs even high end games smoothly but game size will suffocate this phone and soon it will be asking for u to free some space so that it can breathe again!
Sorry Xperia M I need to strip uvr 1 star. If u want to earn it back then Sony needs to provide us with a firmware update which enables us to move apps to sd card.
BEWARE OF MEMORY RESTRICTIONS
By Somraj Chakrabortyon
THIS PHONE DOESN'T SUPPORT TRANSFERRING YOUR APPS TO EXTERNAL SD. APPS LIKE APP2SD, LINK2SD WHICH HELPS IN TRANSFERRING YOUR APPS TO YOUR EXTERNAL MEMORY DOESN'T WORK IN THIS PHONE EVEN AFTER ROOTING.
THE INTERNAL MEMORY THOUGH STATED 4 GB AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE IS ACTUALLY 2 GB AVAILABLE MEMORY AND WITH THAT ITS NOT POSSIBLE TO INSTALL GAMES AND APPS WHICH ALWAYS NEEDS UPDATES. YOU CANNOT INSTALL OR TRANSFER YOUR APPS TO THE EXTERNAL MEMORY WHICH IS WHY THIS PHONE IS JUST AN USELESS DEVICE.
I AM LOVING IT
By Abhijit mandalon
let me sound more practical by not using words like antutu... and others geeky terms. or by comparing it with brands without manufacturing capabilities(micromax, lava, karbon..) my first android was samsung galaxy pop..then xolo A500. samsung lacked RAM and and good battery life. xolo was full of bugs and like usual low china quality. with full of useless specs.
I wanted to buy it from flipkart. but was pre-order item so bought it from a retailer.
the phone has everything you would expect from an android phone.
- The biggest strength is the energy efficient S4 krait processor. found right now only on Nokia 520,620 and some hing end devices. we dont need a big battery on this chipset. so dont count battery mah. though sony sensibly gave a big 1700mah battery.
- 1 Gb RAM, no one else is giving at this price. its necessary because android jellybean is not efficient with 512MB. and running all those chat applications messengers and background apps altogether needs a lot of ram.
- Good battery backup upto 2 days with normal usage with fb messenger, browser ,whatsapp etc. you need to charge it next evening.
- good design and a useful customizable notification light that will let me know if there is a miss-call or msg. without touching the phone.
This is Sony's best answer to nokia and samsung mid-range smart phones.
SAMSUNG - is selling good designs but with old hardware with cortex a9 & a5. all battery drainers. all samsung in this range are old hardware.
NOKIA- Nokia 520 & 620 have nearly same features to Xperia M and have excellent Build, but with WINDOWS i feel like in a prison. i used my bro's nokia 520 for 2 days and it felt like hell!! windows is only favored by people who have never used androids. My brother is jealous of my phone :D and he is using my xolo A500 ... and his nokia 520 is now a showpiece.
This is a great phone. and i am loving it.... Thanx sony for such an excellent built and budget phone. Go for it..
Good phone. 4/5.
By Kunal.worldon
Nice phone.
fabulous one
By Tanzeelon
I had an marvelous experience having this phone its look makes it different from all its competitors and is quite stylish one. Apart from the looks phone performance is also excellent and can run games like asphalt 8 very smoothly. camera is also decent at this price. and most brilliant plus point is its sound quality after all it is Sony .overall it is a very good smartphone to buy and thanks to snapdeal as they are offering a huge discount over this phone it was an nice experience shopping with snapdeal.

Prefect
Only 1 star for Amazon's packaging and 4 stars for the product
By PKDon
Before i get to the phone, first about Amazon delivery. I had a never before experience with Amazon. The external packaging was very poor and i was surprised NOT TO SEE ANY SORT OF CUSHIONING provided for the phone's actual Sony packaging. I wanted to reject the product by not accepting from the Amazon delivery person, but i had to because i very badly needed the phone as my old phone had broken. I have been using Amazon services for more than 4 years now, but never had this type of pathetic experience.And about phone... the 4 stars i gave are only for phone. I would give only 1 star for Amazon's packaging.I am in love with the phone. It's of the size i was looking for and has a smart screen. It has many pre-installed apps. I will not be needing some of these apps and had uninstalled them.Internal memory could have been more. Though specifications say that it has 4 GB of internal memory, user will only get 1 GB as remaining space is already used by phone (OS, apps etc.). Anyway it has extendable memory upto 32 GB and i hope to many of the apps to SD card.Back cover seems very weak and so a protective back cover is a must addition.
Good second had quality!
By Akshat Singhon
Good second hand quality! I bought it for some experiment purpose but have to say the Packing was great! wasn't expecting sellers Own mobile box but it came with a new box manufactured by the seller, packed nicely. Also came with a whole list of things their engineers checked and approved OK with signature.Phone was cleaned properly with some cleaner. However the charger was some local charger but that's okay cause i have spare charger or other phone And the screens corner plastic part was a little Bumped up don't know why but it was not noticeable so will ignore that too since its a second hand phone..Overall satisfied.
A true budget phone
By Streakon
I have used this phone for over 2 years now, and I must say I am completely satisfied with this phone. It was one of the best phone to buy back then. The display is crisp, sound quality is excellent, Sony's UI customization is excellent, the phone easily fits in your pocket. If you are the kind of person who likes small screen smartphones you will love this!. One star less only because of unnecessary apps the phone comes with.Drop tests: I have dropped this phone many times (including once flat on the screen as well), the device just works fine without a glitch!.
Its nice phone except its low internal memory
By Sreejithon
Sony Xperia M is the best mid level android phone you can buy in the market. It have all the nice specs that you might expect in mid range, hi-range phones. Display is of good resolution and have good viewing angles. I have heard lot of negative reviews that viewing angle of this phone is very bad. But comparing to other phones, its not that bad.5MP camera is of average in nature. HDR feature is good to experiment with. Video recording of 720p is also average. But remember to activate image stabilazation.WIFI and bluetooth easy to connect and its only take seconds to search and find networks.This phone can only hold micro sim, which made me some problems initially. I was using normal sim, which have to cut into micro sim to use on this device.The one and only problem I notice with this phone is, low internal memory. With lot of crappy unwanted applications installed by Sony, available internal memory was way low to 1.3GB. I uninstalled those unwanted applications. But still 1.5 GB internal memory which is too low for this phone. Games like NFS most wanted and Asphalt can't be installed due to low memory. Even I am using 16GB class 10 card, no applications and games be installed on memory card. I don't know its by Sony or Android jelly bean limitation, but one thing I can say it's really frustrating. Only option I have is to root phone but that eventually gonna void my warranty.Call quality is good. Speakers are on bottom, so if you place it over a surface, some times you may not hear ringing(if you have a low ringing volume, noisy atmosphere, and mild ringtone). It happened to me many time.Notification light is a good add-on that you get with this phone. You can customize the color of notifications as your choice. Assisted GPS is also good, but will take some time to lock on satellite.So overall money spend well and wisely.
Excellent Product for the price we pay...SONY MARKS IT NAME AGAIN....
