A very BAD choice

Phone owned for more than a year

Avery bad choice in its price range...
Please check the reviews(which are all true & dissapointing). With very few or no pros this mobile is packed with a no. of cons...
Some of them are:
1.Ultra slow processor. Irritates when operated at normal touching speeds. Becomes very slow after installing even very basic apps like whatsapp, viber, true caller and almost dies on installing any game. So all game lovers forget utilizing its motion sensors for playing games.
2.Horrible camera. The camera is unable to click clear pictures even during daylight and and the videos are obnoxious. Since the mobile does not have flash its camera is of no use at night.Features like zoom, hd recording, autofocus etc. are all absent. Overall the camera in this phone is useless.
3.Poor quality headphones. The headphones can only be used in sound proof surroundings.
4.Small screen size. This mobile is a bad choice at this price since mobiles with a larger screen size are easily available at the same price.
5.Aesthetically a big failiure! The lock/unlock button is very poorly designed with no ergonomic consideration. The first problem that one will face in this phone will be forcefully getting used to its hectic button.
6.Poor service. The biggest suffering of buying a sony phone was that it gives a very poor impression for repair and service. Instead of correcting the problem prevailing in the phone the technicians increase them for ex. they will by merely update the phone software for any kind of problem.

There are many other demerits of buying this phone but in short I would just say that "This Phone is a very BAD choice "

Poor service. The biggest suffering of buying a sony phone was that it gives a very poor impression for repair and service. Instead of correcting the problem prevailing in the phone the technicians increase them for ex. they will by merely update the phone software for any kind of problem. This is a big problem atleast in Gurgaon.

Okay

Phone owned for less than a year

First, the touchscreen is really bad and slow rensponsive. But, the phone is cheap and it is in your budget. The main problem is the Touchscreen!Touchscreen!Touchcreen!. Anyways, its good for playing games and for browsing. Also, the loudspeaker is very good!

Quite good for budget Android

Phone owned for less than 3 months

Typing is hard because of the small screen and the letter is quite near to each other too The internal memory is only 2.9 GB but ofcourse you can use a micro SD card up to 32 GB.Touchscreen sometimes doesn't response . Other than that , I love it

Touchscreen problem and poor warranty service by sony

Phone owned for less than a month

I have a xperia tipo whose touchscreen became faulty. I bought it on 21st september and gave it to the service center on 8th october nd never got the phone back till now(6th Nov). Whenever I ask them they say that the faulty part has to be replaced and it has not arrived yet. How long is it going to take they have no idea. What am I supposed to do now??? this is really frustrating... jst wasted my rs9500, poor poor sony service... if they cant provide proper after sales service then they should stop selling such products....

Read this thread before buying Tipo or U will regret.

Excellent phone

Phone owned for less than a month

Hello, it is really a nice phone than I expected, its competitors are not entry level smartphones but mid range phones, see its OS (Android 4.01), excellent sound qualily, good looking, good screen resolution (180 PPI). Many programes runs in it at a time well, the only problem I felt; it heats up when it works in slower networks like GPRS/EDGE though it works cool in wifi/3g networks. Sufficient internal memory and RAM & graphics but a average processor (800mhz) average camera for stills and movies if you don't expect a miracle from 3.2 mp camera. Any way it is the best option under Rs.10000/- Thank You.
