Sony Xperia E4g Dual smartphone: description, features and reviews

Today we will talk about the smartphone Sony Xpreria E4G LTE Dual. As it is clear from the name, the model differs with the support of the function of simultaneous operation of two SIM cards, as well as the availability of the LTE module, which allows exchanging information at high speed in a cellular network of the fourth generation. I remember the predecessor of Sony Xperia E4G LTE Dual (and this was the model, respectively, E3) justified the money it was worth. The thing is that it combined a good display, as well as the possibility of working in a mobile network of the fourth generation. With all this, the device cost less than ten thousand rubles.

Introduction

In general, Sony has always been famous for producing good quality products. Needless to say, the company's smartphones are amazed by the pleasant design, the quality with which they are assembled, the smoothness and stability of the work. Well, and as a bonus - quite a good hardware part. We can say that such a production has become something of a trend for the company. But will continue to honor the tradition of the subject of our today's review - a smartphone Sony Xperia E4G Dual? This we will try to find out.

Short Comparison

We can safely take the characteristics of two devices - the Sony Xperia E4G Dual, which you can find feedback about at the end of the article, as well as E3. After that, it remains only to combine them. It is easy to see that the Xperia E4 is an actual and logical extension of the previous model. The only difference is that the device is fitted to the standards of this year. It appears in the changed screen diagonal, the increased resolution, the larger preset volume of short-term memory. It turns out that one simple conclusion comes to mind: the budget segment of mobile devices also does not stand still, but continues to develop.

Design

At present, Sony's smartphones are beginning to change their appearance a little. Previously, it was the most that neither is the real "bricks", as they were called by the Internet audience (and not only). Now they are devices that are executed in a streamlined form. Now these are smooth devices. When manufacturing smartphones, a technology called OmniBalance is used. For the first time the changes began in the product line Z. Over time, other devices of the company began to be modified. And here it is unequivocal to tell, whether it is good, somehow it is impossible. It is enough to compare a product from the Z line with the subject of our today's review to see that the appearance has become much simpler.

Dimensions and dimensions

Smartphone Sony Xperia E4G Dual E2033, as mentioned earlier, slightly changed compared to its predecessor. This manifested itself in an increase in the diagonal of the screen. However, while the height of the hull left the same as it was in the E3. What did the engineers do to make it happen? They had to reduce the frames that pass along the perimeter of the display. Interestingly, it touched not only the sides, but also the upper end with the bottom. Nevertheless, it is noticeable that the width has become a little more. In any case, it is still possible to use the device with one hand. And it will not bring any discomfort.

The thickness of the device has also changed. Now it is not 8.5, but as much as 10.5 millimeters. In fact, the smartphone is quite plump enough. It is often called "puzatenkim". But we see that there are good reasons for this. The mass of the device remained at the same level as the predecessor Sony Xperia E4G Dual, whose review is presented in this article. The weight is about 144 grams.

Control elements. Right edge

On this side there is a power button for the smartphone. It allows you to turn the device on and off, and lock it or restart it. Below this element is a volume rocker. With its help, you can adjust the volume of the device or change its sound mode.

Upper butt

There is an ordinary connector designed to connect a wired stereo headset or computer headphones to a mobile phone . This is nothing more than a 3.5 millimeter standard port.

Left edge

There is nothing particularly interesting here. There is only a connector of the standard MicroUSB, designed for synchronization with a personal computer or laptop.

Back panel

One of the most successful variations was the smartphone Sony Xperia E4G Dual Black. This refers to luck in terms of color. What, by the way, confirm the official data on the company's sales. So, let's talk about the back panel. On it is a camera lens with a resolution of five megapixels. Nearby there is a LED flash, provided for night shooting or taking pictures in low light conditions. There is also an external sound speaker.

The cover is made of matte plastic. It feels rough to the touch. But such a solution can be called successful, because during the use of the phone the panel will be spoiled minimally intensively. With all this there is another significant advantage: even from wet hands the device does not so much strive to jump out.

Nevertheless, plastic may seem quite tough. Do not forget that the cover of the Sony Xperia E4G Dual E2033 Black can be removed, as well as the back panel of the device in a different color design. However, the choice of colors is very, very limited. On the territory of the Russian Federation, there are only two classical design devices: black and white. There are no other variations.

So, if we remove the back cover from the device, we will find there two slots, which are designed for installation in a smartphone SIM cards processed by the standard MicroSIM. There is also a connector for an external microSD drive. In order to replace the battery if necessary, the device will have to be disassembled. Direct access to the battery is not provided, and it can be called though not too big, but still a notable drawback.

Brief specifications

The smartphone works in the third and fourth generation cellular networks. Actually, at their expense (and also with the help of EDGE and GPRS technologies) it is possible to enter the international network. In this case, the phone has a built-in modem, which will give Wi-Fi to other devices. The new access point will be able to connect to other subscribers who have smartphones, tablets, laptops. If the computer has a built-in network card with a Wi-Fi module, then it can join the TD.

By the way, since we are talking about wireless technologies. The subject of our today's review works in the 802.11 Wi-Fi bands. To transfer files from your phone to another device, you can use the "Bluetooth" function of version 4.1. If you regularly use e-mail, then you will be glad to have the built-in E-mail client with the appropriate software. To synchronize with a personal computer or laptop, you will need to use a port and a MicroUSB standard cable - USB 2.0.

Display

The screen matrix is made using IPS technology. This means that the screen has good viewing angles. In the sun, the display looks good, there is a good stock of brightness, designed just for such situations, so as not to burn the image and fonts in natural light. In the rest it should be noted that due to the use of IPS technology the image will be smoothed, and the load on the owner's eyes will be reduced to the minimum value. What, by the way, allows you to read comfortably even in a dark environment without serious damage to your eyesight.

The screen diagonal in this case is 4.7 inches, the resolution is 960 x 540 pixels. With color rendition everything is fine, the display shows up to sixteen million different colors and their shades. The touch screen is a capacitive type. At the same time, several screen touches can be processed, thanks to the presence of a function called "multitouch". It provides a comfortable zoom of just two quick tapas.

Conclusion and feedback

So, what verdict did the buyers of Sony Xperia E4G LTE dual take out? Many phone owners have noticed that, in comparison with its predecessor, the front camera module became better, the screen diagonal increased, more RAM became available, which can not but affect the smooth operation of the operating system.

Nevertheless, the buyers noted the shortcomings. Essential differences in performance can not be called. The battery life remained at the same level, and compared to the predecessor, the screen brightness diminished. A significant drawback is the lack of oleophobic coating in the smartphone. Well, perhaps, nothing more to say and does not remain.

The only thing that can encourage a potential buyer to purchase this particular model, and not the E3, is the simultaneous presence of two SIM cards and the ability to work with them in the fourth generation cellular networks.
