A hero of his time. Sony Xperia T2 Ultra Dual review

Sony, however, states that this is not the case, and both numbers are available. This is achieved by a software trick: when the availability function of both numbers is activated, the smartphone itself sets up mutual forwarding on them due to unavailability and turns on the “Call Waiting” network service. That is, the call to the second SIM card is forwarded to the first as a “second line”.

The same “availability” can be configured on any dual-SIM phone, just do not forget that forwarding is a paid service, and those who use two SIM cards to save money will completely lose all benefits. And if, God forbid, you enable this “feature” in roaming, then you can sell your apartment: conditional forwarding in this case is paid at double roaming tariffs.

Display

This year, Sony finally got things right with screens, and the T2 Ultra uses good quality IPS matrix without any flare on a black background and with excellent contrast; The brightness margin is also large - at least enough to make the picture legible under the spring sun. A film is glued to the screen at the factory, so as scratches appear, it can be simply replaced.

The inexpensive model only has a screen resolution of 1280x720 pixels. If you look more closely, individual pixels become visible; however, with everyday use at a normal distance from the eye they are not visible, the fonts do not blur. However, although the resolution is sufficient, with such a diagonal it is already possible to distinguish an HD screen from Full HD.

The screen supports work with gloves: with such dimensions, you can even type text in them tolerably.

    Huge screen, the battery holds a charge for a long time (more than 16 hours in active use - calls, Internet, movies and music; standby mode more than 2 days)

    Large screen, thin body. Easy. Almost a flagship - received an update to Android 5. Quite adequate battery. It charges quickly, with Stamina mode turned on and normal use (few calls, chatting on Whatsapp, books, browser) it lasts for one and a half to two days. Navigation, of course, reduces the charge before your eyes.

    Large screen, not at all annoying to use as a phone with one hand, really holds the battery very well! In my mode of use - 1-2 hours of activity - games, reading, etc., 2-3 hours of calls - lasts up to 3 days!

    The excellent screen, despite the low resolution for such a diagonal, looks very decent under any conditions. I was surprised by the battery, it’s almost impossible to kill in a day. There are no complaints about the phone functions, talking is quite comfortable. Communication is also excellent, LTE reception is excellent, I don’t know about Wi-Fi, with the advent of Iota, there is simply no need for it))

    I was afraid that it was too big, but I got used to it quickly, and I consider this an even greater advantage. Solid, beautiful design, good in the hand.

    A large phone is difficult to carry in your pocket. You cannot delete native programs. Little memory.

    The camera was instantly scratched. I carried it without a cover, so it can be called a disadvantage with an interference, but it’s still unpleasant because before this Jiaju showed itself to be worthy in the same mode of operation.
    After six months, some stickers on the sides of the case fell off.

    This applies to all my 3 Sony phones - yellow spots appear on the screen over time. Unfortunately, after 7 months of use, a STAIN appeared on this device too! Now I’m thinking of giving up Sony altogether - I can’t see the screen with stains - it causes irritation, and this is not what you expect from an expensive phone!!!

    There are no particular disadvantages

    Not enough built-in memory, it will fill up no matter how you use it. And after the memory is completely full, the phone starts to slow down terribly, it’s almost impossible to use, full reset Does not help.
    The camera is bad, bad! Slow, pictures in slightly difficult conditions are disgusting.
