Sony Xperia J

 

The Xperia J has a slick design, but does it have the performance to match?

Good screen, Long battery life, Stylish design

Sluggish performance, Poor camera, Jelly Bean update won’t arrive until next year

Sony Xperia J review

 

Can the Sony Ericsson inspired J jump in and make a splash?

Nice design ; Good battery life ; Decent price

Very laggy ; Poor camera ; Awful keyboard

The Sony Xperia J is the smaller and cheaper brother to James Bond's Xperia T, but don't expect to find this handset mingling with scantily clad women - the Xperia J is far more reserved, less flamboyant, happier to stay out of the limelight and just...

Sony Xperia J

 

The Sony Xperia J brings the styling and software of Sony's top notch Xperia T phone downmarket. Like its Bond-backed bigger brother, it packs a curved plastic shell, but there's a smaller four-inch screen and a lower power 1GHz processor and five...

Sadly, the Sony Xperia J’s just not worth your time in late 2012: top notch phones that came out earlier this year, like the HTC One X and One S - and even last year’s Samsung Galaxy S2 - are around the same price on contract, and much more powerful,...

Sony Xperia J

 

Affordable and stylish, the Xperia J is a mid-range Android smartphone from Sony with a compelling set of premium features. With a sleek design and handy notification light, the Xperia J has the look of a more expensive phone and offers solid performance.

Stylish, modern design, Sharp 4” display , 5 megapixel camera

Mid-range 1 GHz processor, Doesn´t ship with Android Jelly Bean

Sony Xperia J review -

 

Sleek, curvy design; Decent, colourful mid-range display; All-day battery life

Laggy performance; Screen could be brighter; Timescape is still a bit crap

Sony Xperia J Review

 

The Sony Xperia J is a good-looking smartphone aimed at the middle of the market, but it doesn't offer the same impressive performance that its big brother the Xperia T offers.

Curvy, sleek chassis; good, colourful screen; 24 hours battery life.

Lack of power; display could be brighter; Timescape is still disappointing.

The Xperia J from Sony is one of the best-looking phones aimed at the mid-market at the moment. It has the design flare of the Xperia T but comes in at only half the price. It’s a shame that Sony has cut corners on specs to get it to this price – and...

Sony Xperia J review: Junior league

 

A trimmed-down version of the Bond phone or a remake of the Xperia Arc, the Sony Xperia J knows looks are important to reasonable spenders, too, and doesn't get carried away with the level of equipment. What it offers over a very similarly equipped...

Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE and dual-band UMTS support ; 7.2 Mbps HSDPA and 5.76 Mbps HSUPA ; 4.0" 16M-color TFT capacitive touchscreen of FWVGA resolution (480 x 854 pixels) at around 245 ppi ; Android OS v4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich ; 1 GHz Cortex-A5 CPU,...

Noticeable lag ; Non-hot-swappable microSD slot ; Image quality a bit of a letdown ; No hardware shutter key ; No DivX/XviD support ; Feeble loudspeaker

The styling of the company's flagship smartphone and a screen with more pixels than most people expect for the price give the Sony Xperia J a headstart over the competition. On the other hand, Sony had to make a lot of hard decisions to stay within...

Notebookcheck's Best of January 2013 ? Smartphone and Tablet Edition

 

Slow start. December 2012 was led by the search engine giant Google. The beginning of the New Year was however a bit quieter. Tablets from some low-cost suppliers found their way to our test lab and presented very mixed results. January was themed...

The offered concept. A coherent overall package for a midrange smartphone although the screen's low resolution spoils the fun
