Sony Iquisper C2305 Specifications. My first and most interesting smartphone! Communication between devices in mobile networks is carried out through technologies providing different data transfer rates

Accelerometer (or G-SENSOR) - device position sensor in space. As the main function, the accelerometer is used to automatically change the image orientation on the display (vertical or horizontal). Also, G-Sensor is used as a pedometer, they can be controlled by various device functions by turning or shaking.
Gyroscope - Sensor measuring rotation angles with respect to the fixed coordinate system. Created to measure rotation angles in several planes at the same time. The gyroscope together with the accelerometer allows you to determine the position of the device in space with high accuracy. In devices using only accelerometers, measurement accuracy is lower, especially with rapid movement. Also the possibilities of the gyroscope can be used in modern games for mobile devices.
Light sensor - Sensor, thanks to which the optimal brightness and contrast values \u200b\u200bare set for this light level. The presence of the sensor allows you to increase the operating time of the device from the battery.
Proximity sensor - Sensor that determines when the device is close to the face during a conversation, turns off the backlight and blocks the screen, preventing accidental pressing. The presence of the sensor allows you to increase the operating time of the device from the battery.
Geomagnetic sensor - Sensor to determine the side of the light into which the device is directed. Tracks the orientation of the device in space relative to the magnetic poles of the Earth. Information obtained from the sensor is used in cartographic programs for locality orientation.
Atmospheric pressure sensor - Sensor for precise measurement of atmospheric pressure. It is part of the GPS system, allows you to determine the height above sea level and speed up the location definition.
Touch ID - Identification sensor for fingerprint.

Satellite navigation:

GPS. (Global Positioning System - Global Positioning System) - satellite navigation system, ensuring measurement of distance, time, speed and determining the location of objects anywhere in the Earth. The system is developed, implemented and operated by the US Department of Defense. The main principle of using the system is to determine the location by measuring distances to the object from points with known coordinates - satellites. The distance is calculated by the time of delaying the signal propagation from sending it to the satellite before receiving an antenna GPS receiver.
GLONASS (Global navigation satellite system) - Soviet and Russian satellite navigation system, developed by order of the USSR Ministry of Defense. The measurement principle is similar to the American GPS navigation system. GLONASS is designed for operational navigation and temporary support of users of ground, marine, air and space-based. The main difference from the GPS system is that GLONASS satellites in their orbital movement do not have resonance (synchronization) with the rotation of the Earth, which ensures greater stability.

Japanese budget decision with big screen and with support for two SIM cards on MediaTek chipset

Recently, we have a smartphone LG G Pro Lite Dual - model of the average price range of the A-Class manufacturer with a huge screen, and also supporting two SIM cards. Without going into details, we recall that the device referred to the category of so-called "budget shovel" - smartphones, much less advanced in the hardware (and above all - in the quality of the screen) than their top large-diagonal conifers, but at the same time also capable of providing The user is able to enjoy fashionable screen size from 5 inches and higher, and for much smaller money. Accordingly, the user, as usual, is granted a choice: more expensive and shade - or cheaper, but simply. We have already tested such simplified tablet phones: Samsung is MEGA with 5.8 and 6.3 inches screens, at Huawei - Ascend Mate (6.1 inches), LG - G Pro Lite Dual (5.5 inches), and Now the turn has reached Sony. The Japanese came out very similar characteristics model Xperia C, it costs about as much so that it will be compared with it.

Appearance and ease of use

Outwardly, the Sony Xperia smartphone with many should come to taste: non-slip, non-commercial, matte and rough corps continues the traditions of last year, laid back in Sony Xperia Z and Xperia ZL models. A more simplified in relation to the flagship Xperia ZL at that time absorbed part of the design concept with flat mirror panels-inserts on all four faces, which the creators called Omnibalance. In turn, even more simple Sony Xperia c as a whole, the form and the general appearance of the very Xperia ZL itself, but the panels on its sidewalls are no longer mirrored, and matte - such as the updated flagship xperia z1. But according to the general outlines, in the form of the "dip" back cover of the heroine of today's review, it is at that very Xperia ZL. True, the materials of the back cover were a little different: it was a plastic with a rubberized Soft-touch effect, and the surface was textured by verses. Here is the surface, though matte, but without textures, and besides, it is solid - it does not have the effect of the Soft-touch.

Smartphone is quite large in size, which is partly explained by a large diagonal of the screen. However, the side frames are not too narrow here, so the smartphone could well be smaller and more sever. There is no particular complaints to the thickness of the case, keep the device in hand is quite comfortable and comfortable. The mass is also not too agitating the hand - thanks to the rough surfaces, the smartphone is generally quite reliably held in the fingers, as far as possible for such large gadgets. If you compare with the same LG G Pro Lite Dual, then everything turns out on the contrary: the Koreans apparatus is a very slippery smooth lacquered coating, slight faces and a fair mass, so the smartphone is ready to slip out of the hands. The Japanese model mass is less, less thickness, coating rough, and more sharp edges give the fingers to cling, so the phone from the hands does not fall at a difficult moment - it is secure reliably.

Materials manufacturing, as already mentioned - solid plastic, metal here is practically no, with the exception of the camera rim, and the round power button. Unusually the structure of the body: here all this plastic "fur coat" is worn entirely on the core, closely adjacent to the screen itself, completely closing everything along with the sidewalls. That is, if you remove the plastic casing, then a bare unsightly cassette with the screen will remain in the hands - even the side buttons all remain on this removable lid, something similar we have seen from Sony Xperia GO. Itself guess how it is removed this cover is quite difficult - the structure of the hull is not familiar, the gaps, the gaps are not visible, as is not visible anywhere and the slightest yield for engaging the nail. In general, it is not necessary to do without reading the instruction in which the disassembly process is described in detail.

Otherwise, in the Sony Xperia Corps, nothing remarkable: the power and volume keys - in their places on the right, in a very close neighborhood from each other; The audio output socket (3.5 mm) is embedded in the upper end, Micro-USB - in the side, and below there is also a hole for fastening the lace on the hand - the unchanged part of the image of almost any of Sony smartphones. There is on the right face and a separate hardware mechanical button that is responsible for working with the camera. From the blocked state, the button is not able to awaken the camera, so you will have to first unlock the machine with the usual way, and then use this button to be destined. If the screen is active, the button can also call the camera, and the snapshot immediately do is all regulated by the settings.

All mechanical buttons on the sides are very thin, not too tough, but still at the expense of the short stroke and small area of \u200b\u200bthe keys themselves are not the most comfortable. The Korean Samsung and LG, at least their large and wide buttons are exactly more convenient and tactful pleasant.

Hardware buttons under the screen, even touch, in their sony devices has not been no longer done - they all moved to the screen in the form of Android software icons 4.x. So, under the screen, there were less spaces less than usual, but still not less centimeter in height. The place is not empty: here not only the neat microphone grid is embedded, but also there is also a corporate extended horizontal light indicator Sony. Indicator, as usual, can adapt to the general background viewed photos, covers musical AlbumBy changing your color, as well as signaling different events from the charging process to an incoming SMS message.

From above, there is exactly the same as the dynamics lattice at the bottom - they are symmetrical, and the eyes of the sensors and the front camera can be seen. The glass of the display is absolutely flat, without sideboards, oleophobic coverage here, if there is, then quite weak - the prints are quickly going, and they are poorly erased.

The landscape of the back cover make up a few familiar elements: the basic chamber window framed by a metal round rim, the peephole of a single-section LED flash can be seen next to it, and the lattice is on the output of the audio speaker. The grille is partially on bending, so the sound is practically not muted by the surface on which the smartphone lies. The rear surface here, by the way, is not entirely flat, but a slightly concave inside is still manifested by the legendary design of Sony Arc.

If you remove the back cover (and it is quite difficult to do it at the beginning), then a contemporary picture will already be found under it: the battery is securely closed by the casing and is not available for the user. Above above it, in one plane, there are three slots: two for SIM cards, and one for a microSD memory card. SIM cards here are used Micro-SIM format, all cards are inserted and extracted easily. By the way, unlike LG G Pro Lite Dual, it is supported by hot replacement, that is, the smartphone does not need to restart when the card is replaced. There is another more noticeable difference: the Micro-USB connector here, unlike the LG apparatus, supports the connection mode of external devices (OTG), such as a flash drive, or a mouse with a keyboard. Accordingly, movies, music, photos and various documents The device is able to view directly from the flash drive connected to it, you only need to take care of the acquisition of an adapter.

And about the colors: the Sony Xperia C smartphone at the tradition of rooted since last year, traditions are released in three familiar colors - black, white and purple. All three options have the same roughly non-adhesive coating, the front panels in dark variants are black, and light is the same white as the rear casing. Regarding such an unusual choice in favor of violet color, the developers say that this color was chosen at all "not from the ceiling". According to experts, there is a psychological background: such a color is like "balanced", that is, it turns out by "mixing" exciting red and cold blue shades.

Screen

Sony Xperia C smartphone is equipped with a touch-sensing IPS-matrix size of 62 × 110 mm, a diagonal - 127 mm (5 inches), a resolution of 960 × 540 points. Note that the representatives of Sony stated that the TN type matrix was used in the smartphone, but our tests denied it. Such a parameter as the density of pixels per inch is here a value of only 220 ppi, which is more than that of LG G Pro Lite Dual (200 ppi), but there is still little for modern screens. Both smartphones differ quite low for such a large screen area by resolution, and lose in this competitors with a resolution of 720p. Accordingly, and then the picture turns out quite loose, the pixels are visible to the naked eye, the edges of small parts and fonts do not look even smooth.

The thickness of the side frame from the edge of the screen to the edge of the case is at least 6 mm - a fairly wide frame. The display brightness can be manually adjusted, and unlike LG G Pro Lite Dual, here you can turn on automatic adjustment - the corresponding check mark on the spot. Multitach technology here allows you to simultaneously process up to 5 simultaneous touches (in the Korean model 10). There is a smartphone and an approximation sensor that blocks the screen when making a smartphone to the ear.

Detailed examination using measuring instruments He conducted the editor of the "Monitors" and "Projectors and TV" sections, Alexey Kudryavtsev. We present his expert opinion on the screen of the sample under study.

The front surface of the screen is made in the form of a glass plate with a mirror-smooth surface resistant to the appearance of scratches. Judging by the reflection of objects, there is some anti-glare filter, which to reduce the brightness of the reflection noticeably worse than that of Google Nexus 7 (2013). The surface of the matrix itself under the glass is slightly matte, so the screen reflects both direct light sources (outer surface) and multiple light (the surface of the matrix), it reduces readability under conditions of strong external illumination. For clarity, we give the photos on which the white surface on the screen turned off the screens is reflected in the white surface (left - Nexus 7, on the right - OPPO Find Muse R821, in the center - Sony Xperia C, then they can be distinguished by size):

The light gray surface of the Sony Xperia C screen speaks for itself. The reflection on the screen is bothering, which assumes the presence of an air layer between the surface of the matrix and the outer glass. On the outer surface of the screen, apparently, there is a special oleophobic (fat-repellent) coating (ineffective, noticeably worse, which is Nexus 7), so traces from the fingers are removed slightly easier, and appear at a lesser speed than in the case of conventional glass.

When manually controlled brightness, its maximum value was about 440 kD / m², and the minimum - 40 kD / m². Maximum value Pretty high, but, given the weak anti-glare properties and the matrix surface matrix, with a bright daylight, the image on the screen is unlikely to be well distinguishable. In complete darkness, brightness can be reduced to a comfortable level. Works automatic adjustment Brightness over the illumination sensor (it is located to the right of the front of the front camera). In automatic mode, when changing external light conditions, the screen brightness is rising, and decreases. In full dark in automatic mode, the brightness decreases to 60 cd / m² (it was possible and smaller), in conditions lit by artificial offices (about 400 lux), the brightness is set at 205-250 kD / m² (acceptable), in a brightly lit surround (corresponds With a clear day outdoor lighting, but without direct sunlight - 20,000 LCs or a little more) - rises to the maximum (which should be expected). As a result, this feature works adequately. There is some modulation of highlighting, but its amplitude does not reach 100%, and the modulation frequency spectrum has a maximum of 40 kHz, so visually flickering the screen cannot be seen and the presence of such a modulation cannot affect the comfort of working with this device.

This screen uses an IPS type matrix. On micrographs, if desired, you can see a typical structure of subpixels in the form of parallel strips.

At the same time we give another micrograph with a smaller resolution and with a focus on a film covering the matrix:

Visible points are artificially created surface defects, creating the effect of the matte coating. The screen has good viewing angles without inverting shades and without a significant shift of colors, even at large (in reasonable limits), the rejunctions of the perpendicular to the screen. For comparison, we give the photos on which the same images are displayed on the screens of the same three devices, while the brightness of the screens is set to about 200 cd / m². Perpendicular to the screens Test picture:

It can be seen that the color rendition is slightly different, but this is the only substantiated conclusion that can be done by photography. And white field:

Note good uniformity of brightness and color tone. Now at an angle of about 45 degrees to the plane and to the side of the screen:

It can be seen that the color tone of two smaller screens, including Sony Xperia C noticeably changed. Then white field:

The brightness at an angle in all screens has decreased (at least 4 times, based on the difference in excerpt), but in the case of Sony Xperia C drop in brightness than Nexus 7. The black field when the diagonal is deviated to the diagonal, heavily and acquires purple or red Purple shade. Photos below it is shown (the brightness of white areas in the perpendicular direction of the screens of the same!):

And at a different angle:

With perpendicular view, the uniform black field is medium, since there are several sections with high brightness of black:

Contrast (approximately in the center of the screen) is normal - about 730: 1. The gamma curve, built in 32 points, did not reveal in neither lights, nor in the shadows, and the indicator of the approximating power function is 2.14, which is close to the standard value of 2.2, while the real gamma curve deviates little from power dependence:

Color coverage is close to SRGB:

Apparently, the matrix light filters slightly mix the components to each other. Spectra confirm this:

As a result, visually colors have natural saturation. The balance of shades on the gray scale is good, since the color temperature is not much higher than the standard 6500 K, and the deviation from the spectrum of absolutely black body (ΔE) is less than 10, which is considered a good indicator for the consumer device. In this case, the color temperature and Δe change little from the shade to the shade, which has a positive effect on the visual assessment of the color balance. (Dark areas of the gray scale can not be considered, since there the balance of colors does not matter, and the measurement error of the color characteristics on the low brightness is large.)

The screen is characterized by a fairly high maximum brightness, but the comfort of using a clear day on the street remains in question, since the screen has weak anti-glare properties and the matrix matrix surface under the outer glass. In full dark, brightness can be reduced to a comfortable level, although in terms of energy saving the minimum brightness is still high. It is permissible to use and mode with automatic adjustment of brightness that works more or less adequately. The dignity of the screen should include the absence of flicker, close to SRGB coverage and good color balance. Further disadvantages: weak oleophobic coating, low stability of black to the rejection of the view from the perpendicular to the screen plane and the average uniformity of the black field. By combination of characteristics, the screen does not differ in high quality - the budget option on the IPS matrix.

Sound

In the sound of a smartphone medium. The speakers make enough clean, but not very loud sound, especially the sound in headphones. The regular audio player, called the Walkman tradition, is rich in settings and additional software improvements, such as a built-in equalizer with a mass of pre-installed values \u200b\u200b(you can also specify your own), CLEAR PHASE, XLOUD technologies or virtual surround sound. Managing Most Settings is available if the integrated Clearaudio + function is turned off, otherwise all settings are given to the exhaust machine. In this case, this is especially true, since when using a comprehensive package of improvements to Clearaudio +, the sound of external speaker becomes noticeably louder and rich. However, during a telephone conversation, the voice of a familiar interlocutor, the timbre and intonation always remain recognizable, the conversation is quite comfortable.

FM radio in the full configuration of the smartphone is available, and a voice recorder was found. Radio works only with connected headphones performing the role of antenna. The voice recorder does not know how to record the conversation with the line. You can not find it not in the list of installed applications, but in the so-called menu of small applications, which at any time can be called by pressing the edge right-screen button.

The main, rear camera is equipped with an EXMOR R. Module 8 megapixel module. By default, the camera removes in normal mode, in which the resolution is exhibited by 8 MP, the pictures are obtained by a resolution of 3264 × 2448.

Examples of photos with our comments are presented below.

	The sharpness on the foreground is not bad. On the wires noticeing Sharping.
	Not bad sharpness almost all plans and throughout the field frame.
	Tile merges already on the foreground.
	The sharpness even in the foreground is weak, the far falls even stronger.
	The boundaries of objects are strongly damaged by noise.
	The text worked well and is damaged only slightly.

The camera is almost all the budget parameters. Sharpness is very weak. The noises are strong enough, and although the noise is coping with them well, the details are damaged as a result of processing.

The camera takes off at fairly high high-sensitivity values, and the excerpts from 1/25 second and are already long for it. With good illumination, the camera sometimes succeeds for good pictures, but on 8 megapixel, they still do not pull: the blurred parts, frequent blur zones, the appearance of which is due to the lack of permission - all this is most likely the unsatisfactory quality of optics and its insufficient resolution.

Perhaps the camera is suitable for shooting documents. Probably, under certain conditions, you can get satisfactory results and from ordinary shooting, but it's not worth counting on it.

The camera is able to shoot videos to maximize the resolution of 1920 × 1080, it makes it without visible delays or artifacts in the image, several permissions are provided to the selection to a maximum of 1080p (LG G Pro Lite Dual - 720p). At the same time, during video recording, you can also take pictures of the photo, and both on the main module of the chamber and on the frontal one. Examples of test rollers are presented below (video: MPEG4 Video 1920 × 1080 30 K / s 20102 Kbps; Sound: AAC 48 kHz stereo 128 kbps).

• Roller №1 (29.6 MB, 1920 × 1080)
• Roller # 2 (25.0 MB, 1920 × 1080)

Telephone part and communication

Smartphone standard works in modern 2G GSM and 3G WCDMA networks; Support for fourth generation networks (LTE) No. The range of Wi-Fi 5 GHz is not supported, NFC technology support is also not. Standardly, you can organize a wireless point through Wi-Fi or Bluetooth channels, wi-Fi mode Direct. The navigation module supports GPS / A-GPS.

Hanging or spontaneous reboots / shutdowns during testing was not observed. When submission to the ear, the screen is blocked by the approximation sensor. The illumination sensor controls the screen brightness level in automatic mode. Traditional for Sony A longitudinal horizontal LED alert sensor about incoming events is provided at the bottom under the screen.

The screen is large, so the drawing of letters and numbers of virtual keyboards is quite comfortable for control. Layout and layout of the Standard keys: Switching languages \u200b\u200bhere is performed by pressing a special button, a separately dedicated top row with numbers is not there, it is necessary to switch the layouts. There is a possibility of an obscure letter to slip the finger on the screen from the button to the button.

SIM cards are supported here two, card form factor - MCRO-SIM. The physical implementation of working with two SIM cards is generally standard for this platform. The radio module is alone, so the active conversation can be only one, the second card becomes not available. In the settings, you can set priorities separately for calls and for default data transmission for certain SIM cards. It is only necessary to remember that in terms of data transmission slots are not equivalent: 3G can realize only one of the slots, the second is limited to GPRS / EDGE. By the way, it is easy to check: it is enough to free both slots and test one card from the slot slot. Sony Xperia C is supported by hot replacement, so the smartphone instantly displays the corresponding index: in the first slot "H" (HSPA), in the second, the same SIM card will show only "E" (EDGE). Thus, users who like savings to use two different tariffs for conversations and data transmission is best inserted into the first slot card for working with the Internet, and in the second - for voice communication.

Still in the menu additional settings automatic switching The priorities of the time cards, as well as a quick organization of forwarding from one card to another, which is convenient. But some users do not like what everything has already been automated here, so in the process of the conversation you will not be prompted to choose how it happens on other phones, from which cards to call: a voice connection is configured through a map number 1, then when dialing all Calls you will perform automatically from it.

OS and Software

Sony Xperia C is currently on the Google Android version 4.2.2 software platform. On top of the standard OS interface, the company has installed its own user interface, significantly modifying and complementing standard. The main distinguishing feature of the program menu is the wide possibilities for sorting, sampling and working with icons of installed applications. Here you can even set your own, arbitrary location, or sort several pre-installed methods. Supports the ability to create folders.

In terms of pre-installed applications in Sony Xperia with everything almost as well as the other contemporary Sony devices. A set of pre-installed programs in the smartphones of the Japanese company is not too much changing from the tube to the tube. Several online services, such as TrackId, movies, PlayNow, offer to choose, buy and immediately run music, movies and games. TimesCape collects information about the social activity of friends. There is a pre-installed file manager, a QR code scanner and a popular program for creating Evernote notes were also found. Sony always pre-install useful program For full backup and restore both settings and other data.

Performance

The Sony Xperia C hardware platform is based on a single-chip system (SOC) MediaTek MT6589. The central processor here has 4 Cortex-A7 kernels operating at a frequency of 1.2 GHz. Help In the processing of graphics, it has a PowerVR SGX 544 video processor. RAM in the device is provided 1 GB, internal memory Nominally 4 GB, and of them only about 1.2 GB of a free flash array in reality is available to the user, the rest is occupied by the system itself and pre-installed applications. Memory Cards Smartphone supports up to 32 GB (but our SanDisk Ultra MicroSD XC i check card is confidently recognized, it is displayed in screenshots). There is also the possibility of connecting to uSB port External devices (USB host, USB OTG) - flash drives, mice or keyboard, this is the next positive difference from the LG G Pro Lite Dual, who has no support for OTG.

To get an idea of \u200b\u200bthe performance of the platform of the test smartphone, we will carry out a standard set of tests.

All the results obtained by us when testing the smartphone in the most recent versions of popular benchmarks, we are conveniently reduced to the table. The table usually adds several other devices from various segments, also tested on similar recent versions Benchmarks (this is done only for visual assessment of the resulting dry numbers). Unfortunately, within the framework of one comparison, it is impossible to submit results from different versions of the benchmarks, so many decent and actual models remain "behind the scenes" - due to the fact that they at one time passed their "obstacles" on previous versions test programs.

According to the results of the data obtained during testing, the Sony Xperia C system with a quad-core processor, which is part of SOC MediaTek MT6589, has demonstrated an average performance, far from the most productive modern solutions, but also much higher than that of LG G Pro Lite Dual, based At an even more modest, MediaTek MT6577 dual-core platform.

Video playback

To test the "omnivities" when playing video (including support for various codecs, containers and special featuresFor example, subtitles) We used the most common formats that constitute the bulk of the content available on the content network. Note that for mobile devices it is important to have the support of hardware decoding of videos at the chip level, since to process modern options due to the processor nuclei are most often impossible. Also, it is not necessary to wait from the mobile device of decoding everything, since the leadership in flexibility belongs to PC, and no one is going to challenge it. All results are reduced to one tablet.

¹ Sound in MX Video Player was played only after switching to software decoding or mode Hardware +.; the regular player does not have such a setting

The MHL interface, like the Mobility Displayport, we did not find it in this smartphone, so I had to restrict ourselves to testing the image of the video files to the screen itself. To do this, we used a set of test files with one division by the frame with an arrow and a rectangle (see "Methods for testing the playback devices and displaying the video signal. Version 1 (for mobile devices)"). Screen shots with shutter speed in 1 C helped to determine the nature of the output of video files with various parameters: resolution ranged (1280 to 720 (720p) and 1920 per 1080 (1080p)) and frame rate (24, 25, 30, 50 and 60 frames / s ). In the tests, we used the MX Player video player in the hardware mode, since there were many artifacts in the hardware + mode. Test results are reduced to the table:

720 / 30p. oK not 720/25p. oK not 720/24p. oK not

Note: If in both columns Uniformity and Pass Green estimates are exhibited, it means that, most likely, when viewing the films of artifacts caused by uneven alternation and passage of frames, or will not be seen at all, or their number and notice will not affect the preservation of viewing. Red marks indicate possible problems associated with playing relevant files.

The intervals between frames (or frames) alternate a bit unevenly and in the case of files from 50 and 60 frame / with some part of the frames are always skipped. When playing video files with the aspect ratio of 16: 9, the image of the video file itself is output exactly along the border of the screen. The brightness range displayed on the screen corresponds to the advanced range (that is, the range is 0-255), while most video files are encoded in the videos video range 16-235, so the white color of such video files on the screen of this smartphone is displayed as light gray, and Black color - like dark gray, which clearly does not improve image quality.

Battery life

The capacity of the lithium-ion battery installed in Sony Xperia C is not the greatest, but quite worthy of modern standards value in 2390 mA · h. Accordingly, the results of testing the duration of the autonomous work of the device in the most common user scenarios were very good.

	Battery capacity	Reading mode	Video mode	3D game mode
Sony Xperia C.	2390 mA · h	18 h. 05 m.	12 h. 30 m.	8 h. 00 m.
LG G Pro Lite Dual	3140 mA · h	14 h. 15 m.	8 h. 40 m.	6 h. 50 m.

Uninterrupted reading in the FBReader program (with a standard, light theme) with a minimum comfortable level of brightness (the brightness was exhibited at 100 cd / m²) lasted until the battery was completely discharged, and when you continuously view video from YouTube in high quality (HQ) with the same brightness level through home network Wi-Fi apparatus lasted about 12.5 hours - excellent indicators. In 3D-games mode, the smartphone was enough for 8 hours.

Outcome

On the this moment The official value of Sony Xperia C is installed in our market within 12 thousand rubles. For the same or even a little big money is offered now and competing model LG G Pro Lite Dual. According to the results of acquaintance with these devices, it turned out that in many respects the Japanese model turned out to be objectively preferable to Korean, in which they saved almost all, right up to the intimate - inserted a completely outdated and weak SOC.

But if you do not attach to the most famous brands, now for a similar amount you can purchase a much more advanced device in all technical specifications, such as the flagship five-lovous Alcatel Ot IDOL X or Fly Luminor IQ453. For these same 12 thousand rubles, the user will receive not only more powerful and productive SOC, but also much better screens with full HD resolution.

pros:

It is impressive to call such an indicator, therefore, the ideal quality of the image can not be speech - small parts and fonts do not look quite smooth. An additional second-generation glass Schott provides good protection of the device from various external influences. The sensor is able to recognize simultaneously up to five touches, and its sensors respond quickly even on light clicks. The transition between applications, menu parameters, scaling and scrolling are performed smoothly and operatively.

Camera

The chamber for eight megapixels, located on the back side, can be called one of the main advantages of the Sony C2305 model. Overview It is quite extensive. At the same time, thanks to the use of an EXMOR RS sensitivity sensor, excellent image quality is ensured even with not the best light. The camera has a number of all kinds of settings and modes, which allows you to receive photos with amazing detail, brightness, color reproduction and clarity.

Autonomy

The Sony C2305 power is due to the battery of the built-in type, the capacity of which is 2390 mAh. Taking into account the modest screenshots, about which it was earlier, such a volume is more than enough. A vivid confirmation of this can be called the fact that even with intensive operation, the smartphone is discharged only after a day. Moreover, in the device there is a special energy-saving mode, when the activation of which everything is automatically disconnected unnecessary applicationsconsuming a lot of energy. This allows you to increase the operation time of the device in two or three times. In continuous conversation mode complete charge The battery is enough for about 10 hours, while waiting for 588 hours.

conclusions

Summing up, the main advantages and disadvantages of Sony C2305 should be called. The main advantages of the model experts include a stylish look, a unique design of the housing, a chamber for eight megapixels, processor and support for two SIM cards. As for the weak sides of the device, this is a slight resolution of the display and the frequent appearance of glare on the glossy surface under the condition of bright lighting.
