Sony Xperia E4

Continuing its assault on the entry-level to mid-range market, Sony's Xperia E4 is a solid offering. It's biggest competition however, is its yet-to-debut LTE-sporting brother.

Solid processing performance; Good battery life; Very well priced for market

A bit too plastic; Other variants with better features on the way

All in all, the Xperia E4 is a solid entry level to mid-range device. While I had my initial reservations about it, particular as its design was not particularly eye-catching of definitive, it won me over with its great processing performance. As an...

One Minute Review: Sony Xperia E4

Sony's latest smartphone line-up includes this $129 budget number. We trialled one for a month and while there are no performance surprises (good or bad), for the price it's a real deal. A MediaTek 1.3GHz processor is sufficient for smooth Android...

"Up against the $239 Moto E, its closest competitor with very similar specs it’s the budget champ for sure."

Sony Xperia E4 review

The Sony Xperia E4 is an entry-level phone that lacks 4G connectivity, but does offer a large screen, a capable camera, a big battery, and a decent amount of memory. It's available for under £100 on PAYG, or on the cheapest monthly contracts.

Sony Xperia E4 Dual Review: A Fish Out of Water

Good battery life

Poor camera performance ; Expensive ; Average display

Battery life notwithstanding, Sony loses the plot with the Xperia E4 Dual. The official price of the phone is Rs. 12,490 though it can be purchased for a slight discount online. Still, the price is too high considering that even HTC managed to pack an...
