Sony Xperia E C1604 Dual-SIM Unlocked Android Phone--U.S. Warranty (Black)

I got a few phones that didnt hold up past a week or two, with glitches right out of the box and that cost me more than this one! this thing is as functional as my Android tablet , the only thing missing (if you care) is a front cam. other than that, I love it, gets the job done and more. the dual SIM means I can leave US SIM card in the phone and just add the one from my international destination once i get there. very impressive considering the price tag. for anything else I still have my android tab.

When I received this phone, I had some trouble with connecting to wi-fi via the software download from the cell phone. I went through Sony customer service. They were very helpful but they wanted me to send the phone to their customer service for a 2 wk period. I sought additional help through my internet carrier and was quickly able to connect to the Wi-Fi. Since then the phone has worked fine and more than met my hopes and expectations for a cell phone without the high price of an Iphone. Its an excellent product which I would recommend.

It is an amazing cellphone, has a lot utilities and functions. it brings with so many useful apps like office suite, google+, music unlimited and others.The image is excellent. The only thing that didn't like much it is volume, the speaker is not powerful so it didn't sound loud like others brands, but it the other aspects it is a good equipment with an excellent price

I would give it a 3.5. The phone is nice looking. The battery doesn't run low much fast, it's ok to be the whole day playing music and whatsapping if fully charged in the morning. But sometimes it gets really slow. It's like it wouldn't be completely awake. I downloaded a thrash cleaner and it became sort of fast again. Even though, don't recommend to use a whole bunch of applications at once. The camera is not the best, nor the worst in good light conditions; avoid taking pictures in cloudy and dark days, they wont work well. Guess that heavy apps and games wouldn't run so fast. But as a whole, for 500 MB of RAM it does the work if it doesn't get overcharged.For the use I give it (calling, messagging, whatsapp, music and some directions) and what i payed for it, it fulfills my expectations.

If all you really want to do is talk/text and surf the internet occasionally, then this phone's perfect. Not to mention, it's dual SIM and the color is as nice as the price.Pros:* Nice color. Amazon doesn't show the color in it's best light. It really is a rose/bronze with silver undertones? I don't know how to explain it, but champagne is definitely the color to explain it. I just think that pics don't show it right.* Dual sim card* Very simple interface. Pull down menu allows you to quickly switch between cards, turn off/on SIM data traffic (i.e. internet via phone carrier), turn off/on WiFi, turn off/on bluetooth* Sound: Aside from normal volume control, there is a a menu item for X-loud which uses the internal speaker of the phone to make sounds louder. Let me tell you...with it off, the loudest setting is not that loud. But with it on...IT IS LOUD!!!!* Nice design. Feels good in the hand and not heavy. Does not need a cover. The screen is very resistant to fingerprints and scratches. I have a screen protector even though, and it is scratched already as well as a fingerprint magnet. That is within days, when I had the phone for a good month before putting on a screen protector and I never had any issues.* Internet while on my home WiFi network is great. (I usually only turn it on for a quick check on the internet or I keep it on so I can chat via an app I have downloaded)* Google Play store (already loaded is other Google apps as well Facebook extensions etc... I don't use these though)* Has a slot in back to hang a phone charm* Sound quality is really really good. What do you expect from Sony? (and I'm not talking about just phone calls, I mean any songs you load onto the phone)Cons:* It is a bit light weight. If you want something bulkier, this is not for you. The battery cover feels sturdy on, but off is a bit flimsy.* Graphics: You can tell the quality is not HD. It's more noticeable if you take a picture or if you are watching YouTube or some video. That's when you can really tell.* Keyboard: If you have chubby fingers or like typing vertically (like I do), you will OFTEN hit the wrong keys. If you aren't much of a texter, this won't matter.* The clock is a bit annoying. If I leave the clock on as my default while I'm not using it, when I go to use my phone, it will be the same time that it was when I left it. Only after "waking it up" will it change the time and I find that really annoying. Note that this is ONLY for the clock widget. The actual time that you see on your phone in the top corner is always running accordingly and correct.* Pics are ok. Like I said, this is not the best in graphics or resolution. There is only a back camera, but it has basic features and you can take a quick pic if you need.* Worst thing about the phone that I don't like: In bright light (i.e. out in Sunny California) you will have major issues seeing the screen. It is all dark and very very difficult to see. You will have to seek shade or wait until you are indoors to see it properly.* Dual SIM is Dual SIM standby. You can only use one SIM at a time. I don't have a problem with this, but if you are meaning to have 2 numbers running at the same time on a phone, this is NOT for you.* SD card can take up to 32 GB. This is mentioned in the cons as well because a lot of apps require to be put on the phone and will not save to the SD card. The internal memory is only about 2 GB I think. So, if you are an app person, this is also not for you. I only have a few apps (MagicJack, a gchat one and then whatever was pre-installed) so I don't have any issues.I think I might have forgotten some points, but overall I really like the phone. I bought it from Amazon when it went to $120 something. I use it for phone/text and occasional internet. No issues so far regarding those aspects. I do wish resolution was better and the camera as well...but for what's it's worth, it's good for a basic phone with internet capabilities.

5 stars, I get what I pay for, a reliable phone with plenty of extras.I don't want a pocket computer, so I have a pocket agenda, 2 phones, a gps and the music i like in the palm of my hand.What else could you need.Very nice phone, Bravo!

Not the best phone ever but it works the only error i noticed is that you have to switch sims (if you are using dual) every time you want to call from a different sim you need to set a default one but it's a nice and cheap cellphone btw nice ram & calibration ! :)

I use both SIMs - one for professional and one for friends. It's clumsy to inform the phone which SIM one wishes to call or send from. One has to go deep into "settings" to switch the "default" SIM. Further, incoming text messages to one SIM (phone number) get blended with the messages incoming to the other SIM (phone number). Voice mail is the worst. After one listens to voice mail from one SIM, the "message waiting" icon goes off, and one has to go change the default SIM, then check voice mail for the other SIM because there may be unheard messages there.Later: I have to be honest. I found a better way to switch the "default" SIM - Slide the main screen to the left and change it there. No solution for the voice mail or message problem though. This phone was put on the market in 2013, and once the alarm goes off - it cannot be silenced if one has it in one's pocket and touches the screen getting it out unless one totally shuts the phone off (holding on-off button for 6 seconds). One would think they would have fixed that by this time.

RAM is not enough. Phone memory is almost full by preloaded apps. Most apps even in Internal memory cannot be moved to SD card making its main purpose redundant. No User manual enclosed. Even the user manual available online does not have the model number E(Dual Sim) as it has been changed in web page help. Staff also not helpful and seem to lack knowledge to guide on many options of phone like "How to shift from Internal memory to SD Card ?" or which model is similar to my model ?It sold only for its brand name. People should buy after they study the back office help and User manual availability and its compatibility.

good but now a days it small screen to use
