Sony Xperia d2203 specifications. Sony Xperia E3 - Specifications

The cheapest device in the Sony Mobile family

Devices Sony Xperia E, as you know, belong to the Japanese company’s most modestly positioned line of mobile products, which has always included the cheapest Sony smartphones. Currently, two models of this family are presented in retail at the same time - Xperia E3 and E4. Since the new Xperia E4 is just beginning its journey to the market, the price of the updated model is naturally higher than its predecessor. Accordingly, at the moment the Xperia E3 can be called the cheapest smartphone from the current Sony lineup. Let's see what Sony has prepared for users who prefer to use entry-level mobile devices, and what the simplest level actually is modern smartphone this famous brand.

Equipment

The Sony Xperia E3 smartphone is sold in a box made of thin, unvarnished cardboard, typical for the entire line of budget devices, simple in quality and design, with only one compartment inside. The packaging, like its contents, does not pretend to be premium; everything here is simpler and more economical.

The accessory kit consists of a compact charger(5 V, 850 mA), connecting Micro-USB cable, as well as a small stack of paper documentation. This time they didn’t include a headset in the kit, but maybe that’s for the best - after all, it’s unlikely that they’ll give you at least some quality headphones for the budget model, so in any case you’d have to buy something decent.

Appearance and ease of use

The design of the Sony Xperia E3 is perhaps one of the strongest points of the Japanese budget model. The device looks modern, designed in a bright youth style, and at the same time it retains the features of the proprietary Omni concept, in which all Sony mobile devices without exception have been maintained over the past few years.

The smartphone still has the same shiny side frame that runs along the entire perimeter of the body, only here it is made not of real metal, but of plastic, painted with silver paint to look like metal. The back surface of the case, unlike higher-ranking models, is not made of glass, but of matte, slightly rough, but hard-to-touch plastic.

The corners along the side perimeter, according to the new trend adopted by Sony, are separated from the overall frame - now they are independent inserts made of a more elastic material designed to absorb impact energy when the device falls.

The familiar round aluminum power button has not disappeared anywhere - a signature touch given to all mobile devices without exception. last generations Sony. Another key, responsible for adjusting the volume, is made of plastic and is located here, nearby. The volume button, unlike the locking circle, practically does not protrude beyond the body, so finding it blindly is quite problematic. The key travel is very short, you can hardly feel it under your fingers, so you will have to get used to it - in this regard, the Sony Xperia E3 is not perfect.

In terms of size, the smartphone turned out to be quite small, especially compared to most modern mobile devices. It can be placed comfortably in your pocket; the device also fits comfortably in your hand, although the surfaces of the sides and sides are matte in appearance. back wall They turned out to be somehow too slippery to the touch - the smartphone often tries to slip out of your fingers. The weight of the device also turned out to be unexpectedly large for such a small-sized device; in the hand the smartphone feels like a weighty block.

The front body is completely covered protective glass, with characteristics reminiscent of Corning's Gorilla Glass. There are two symmetrical slits in the glass at the top and bottom, but their purposes are different. Unlike older models, there are no two stereo speakers - the lower grille serves only to accommodate a conversational microphone. There are also no buttons under the screen; the system and applications are controlled using virtual on-screen buttons, so the empty space at the bottom under the screen looks redundant and unreasonable.

In the upper part above the screen, in addition to the front camera eye and sensors, there is also such a useful element as led indicator notifications - a dot glowing in different colors notifies you of charging status and various incoming events. You can disable this functionality in the settings, and then the indicator will only display the battery charging status.

The back wall is absolutely flat, there are no bends on it. The main speaker grille is located on the rear side; there are no protrusions near the hole, so the sound is significantly muffled when the smartphone is lying on a hard surface with the screen facing up.

At the top of the back wall there is a main camera module next to a single-section LED flash that can work as a flashlight using a pre-installed program.

As for card slots, in this case there are two of them - one for a Micro-SIM format SIM card, and the second for a microSD memory card. Both slots are located under a removable back cover, but the battery cannot be found under the cover - it is tightly hidden inside the case and is inaccessible to the user. In nature, there is another modification of the Xperia E3 smartphone, which supports work with two SIM cards.

From the Xperia E3 body, such a constant element, which was present in all Sony Mobile products without exception in the past, as a strap mount, has also disappeared. It is unclear where Japanese schoolgirls will now attach their keychains. Perhaps this functionality was not in great demand, since they decided to remove it in the new season - and these mounts also disappeared from products of other families, up to the highest, flagship Xperia Z line. Perhaps this decision was dictated by the fact that due to polycarbonate The corners inserted into all four side corners of the case simply did not have room for fastening.

The universal Micro-USB connector, located on the left side, supports connecting additional devices and flash drives in OTG mode. The connectors are not covered with covers, since the device is not protected from water and dust. Support wireless charging also no.

As for the color design of smartphones, Sony continues to please in this regard: new device Available in four color options, from traditional white and black to bright lemon and copper shades. In this case, we can say with confidence that the white version of the Sony Xperia E3 turned out to be the most inconspicuous; all colored cases look much brighter and more expressive, even black. In addition, the white coating turns out to be the most easily soiled and less practical. However, if we avoid direct comparison, the white Sony Xperia E3 taken separately also looks quite attractive.

Screen

The Sony Xperia E3 smartphone is equipped with an IPS touch matrix with a small diagonal size by modern standards. The screen dimensions are 56x99 mm, the diagonal is 4.5 inches, but the resolution is only 854x480 pixels. This, of course, is not enough; the pixel density here is low: it is only 218 dots per inch.

The frame around the screen is very wide (as much as 7 mm on the sides), in this regard the smartphone looks the least attractive. The display does not occupy the maximum possible area of ​​the front panel; it even seems that the device got its screen from another, more miniature model. The width of the frame above and below the screen is also very large - 19 mm.

To adjust the brightness level, you can use automatic adjustment based on the ambient light sensor. Multi-touch technology here allows you to process 5 simultaneous touches. The smartphone also has a proximity sensor that blocks the screen when you bring the smartphone to your ear. Activating the screen by double tapping the glass, operating with gloves or wet fingers—the budget model from Sony didn’t get any of this from the developers.

A detailed examination using measuring instruments was carried out by the editor of the “Monitors” and “Projectors and TV” sections Alexey Kudryavtsev. Here is 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 that is scratch-resistant. Judging by the reflection of objects, the anti-glare properties of the screen are no worse than those of the Google Nexus 7 (2013) screen (hereinafter simply Nexus 7). For clarity, here is a photograph in which a white surface is reflected in the switched off screens (on the left - Nexus 7, on the right - Sony Xperia E3, then they can be distinguished by size):

The screen of the Sony Xperia E3 is slightly darker (brightness according to photographs is 79 versus 85 for the Nexus 7). The ghosting of reflected objects in the Sony Xperia E3 screen is very weak, this indicates that there is no air gap between the layers of the screen (more specifically, between the outer glass and the surface of the LCD matrix) (OGS - One Glass Solution type screen). Due to the smaller number of boundaries (glass/air type) with very different refractive indices, such screens look better in conditions of strong external illumination, but their repair in the case of cracked external glass is much more expensive, since the entire screen has to be replaced. The outer surface of the screen has a special oleophobic (grease-repellent) coating (notably lower in efficiency than the Nexus 7), so fingerprints are removed more easily and appear at a slightly lower speed than with regular glass.

With manual brightness control and when the white field was displayed in full screen, the maximum brightness value was about 530 cd/m², the minimum was 24 cd/m². The maximum brightness is very high, and, given the excellent anti-glare properties, readability even on a sunny day outdoors will be at a good level. In complete darkness, the brightness can be reduced to a comfortable value. There is automatic brightness adjustment based on the light sensor (it is located to the right of the logo on the front panel). IN automatic mode When external lighting conditions change, the screen brightness both increases and decreases. In complete darkness, the auto-brightness function reduces the brightness to 24 cd/m² (normal), in an office illuminated by artificial light (about 400 lux) it sets it to 280 cd/m² (it could have been lower), in a very bright environment (corresponds to lighting on a clear day outside room, but without direct sunlight - 20,000 lux or a little more) increases to 530 cd/m² (to the maximum - this is how it is needed). It turns out that the automatic adjustment function works more or less adequately. At any brightness level, there is virtually no backlight modulation, so there is no screen flickering.

This smartphone uses an IPS matrix. The microphotographs show a typical IPS subpixel structure:

For comparison, you can see the gallery of microphotographs of screens used in mobile technology.

The screen has good viewing angles without a significant color shift even with large deviations of the view from perpendicular to the screen and without inversion (except for the very darkest when the view is deviated along one diagonal) of shades. For comparison, here are photographs in which Sony screens Xperia E3 and Nexus 7 display the same images, while the screen brightness is initially set to approximately 200 cd/m² (across the white field across the entire screen), and the color balance on the camera is forced to switch to 6500 K. The white field is perpendicular to the screens:

Note the good uniformity of brightness and color tone of the white field. And a test picture:

Color reproduction is good and colors are rich on both screens. Now at an angle of approximately 45 degrees to the plane and to the side of the screen:

It can be seen that the colors have not changed very much on both screens, but the contrast on the Sony Xperia E3 has decreased to a greater extent due to greater black brightening and a significant decrease in brightness. And a white field:

The brightness of the screens at an angle decreased (by at least 5 times, based on the difference in shutter speed), but in the case of the Sony Xperia E3 the drop in brightness is noticeably greater. When deviated diagonally, the black field brightens greatly and acquires a violet or red-violet tint. The photographs below demonstrate this (the brightness of the white areas in the direction perpendicular to the plane of the screens is approximately the same!):

And from another angle:

When viewed from a perpendicular view, the uniformity of the black field is average, since along the edge in several places the black is slightly lightened, and the translucent front frame does not look very advantageous:

The contrast (approximately in the center of the screen) is normal - about 800:1. The black-white-black response time is 29 ms (14.5 ms on + 14.5 ms off). The transition between halftones of gray 25% and 75% (based on the numerical value of the color) and back takes a total of 45 ms. The gamma curve, constructed using 32 points with equal intervals based on the numerical value of the shade of gray, did not reveal any blockage in either the highlights or the shadows. The power function fit exponent is 2.48, which is higher than the standard value of 2.2, so the image is slightly darkened. In this case, the real gamma curve deviates little from the power-law dependence:

The color gamut is very close to sRGB:

The spectra show that the matrix filters moderately mix the components with each other:

As a result, visually the colors have a natural saturation. The balance of shades on the gray scale is acceptable, since the color temperature is not much higher than the standard 6500 K, although the deviation from the blackbody spectrum (ΔE) is more than 10, which is not considered a very good indicator even for a consumer device. However, color temperature and ΔE change little from hue to hue - this has a positive effect on the visual assessment of color balance. (The darkest areas of the gray scale can be ignored, since there is no color balance of great importance, and the error in measuring color characteristics at low brightness is large.)

This smartphone has the ability to adjust the color balance by adjusting the intensities of the three primary colors. That's what we tried to do, the result is data signed as Corr. in the graphs above.

As a result, we significantly reduced ΔE on white and brought the white point a little closer to 6500 K. However, at the same time, the spread of parameters increased, which is bad (apparently, the correction is carried out using a software “digital” method), and the brightness of the image also decreased significantly. The result is shown in the photo below:

Let's summarize. The screen has a high maximum brightness and has good anti-glare properties, so the device can be used outdoors without any problems, even on a sunny summer day. In complete darkness, the brightness can be reduced to a comfortable level. It is also possible to use a mode with automatic brightness adjustment, which works quite adequately. The advantages of the screen include the absence of flicker and air gaps in the layers of the screen, as well as a color gamut close to sRGB and an acceptable color balance. Among the significant disadvantages we will attribute low black stability to the deviation of the gaze from perpendicular to the screen plane. Nevertheless, taking into account the importance of characteristics for this particular class of devices, the quality of the screen can be considered high.

Sound

In terms of sound, the Xperia E3 smartphone is simple: there is only one speaker, the sound is not loud enough - you can’t hear low frequencies, there is no richness of colors either, the smartphone sounds cheap. In conversational dynamics, the voice of the interlocutor, the intonation and timbre of a familiar voice remain recognizable, the voices sound natural and natural.

To play music, the device uses its own proprietary player, traditionally called a Walkman, but in terms of sound quality, the Xperia E3 is far from a musical solution. As standard, in the settings you can use sound enhancement technologies Clear Phase, xLoud or virtual surround sound. Most settings are available if the complex ClearAudio+ function is disabled, otherwise sound control is carried out automatically.

An FM radio is traditionally included as standard, but a voice recorder is again not provided. The radio cannot record programs and will not work without connected external antenna headphones. Record using standard tools telephone conversations A smartphone can’t connect to a line either.

Camera

Sony Xperia E3 is equipped with two digital camera modules with a resolution of 5 and 0.3 megapixels. The front module is here just for show - the pictures taken with its help can only vaguely convey the details of the image, the quality is very low.

The main rear camera is equipped with a 5-megapixel module with f/2.4 aperture with Sony’s proprietary function of automatically recognizing shooting conditions and HDR mode for photos. The Auto Sensing function detects up to 36 types of conditions and automatically adjusts settings. This is the default mode for the camera and turns the HDR feature on or off depending on the conditions.

By default, the camera, standard for all Sony smartphones, shoots in automatic mode, in which all settings are left to the machine. To achieve maximum resolution, and also to be able to manually change the settings yourself, you need to set the camera to manual mode. True, our research experience shows that shooting with mobile cameras Sony is better just in automatic mode.

In addition to automatic and manual, the Sony Xperia E3 camera software has several more shooting modes familiar from previous Sony models, such as Timeshift burst or an augmented reality mode called AR effect, which makes it possible to combine pictures with animation. There is a Social live function that allows you to upload footage directly to social media. Using a special online service, you can download and add other modes.

The camera can shoot video at a maximum resolution of 1920×1080, but it doesn’t cope very well with it; the video quality is quite modest.

• Video No. 1 (38 MB, 1920×1080, 30 fps)
• Video No. 2 (24 MB, 1920×1080, 30 fps)

	The camera can handle macro photography, but you need to control the distance to the subject.
	The trees almost immediately merge into a mush, seasoned with noise.
	With a slight deterioration in lighting, problems with noise reduction and optics emerge.
	Some parts individually don't look too bad, but the overall image is unpleasant.
	Sometimes it seems that the lens is fogged up - the optics are so soapy. Although large signs are distinguishable.
	Looking at the wires, we can conclude that the problem is more in the optics than in noise and noise reduction. However, this is not so important when everything is bad.

It’s a little embarrassing to talk about this camera - first of all, it’s a shame for Sony. The camera is clearly trying very hard to get at least average quality pictures, but for this it lacks the tools that the manufacturer did not provide it with. As a result, it is doomed to drag out its existence with poor optics and a weak sensor. However, with very good lighting, it may be possible to shoot large text on it, since it shows some promise. However, soapy optics, a noisy sensor and harsh noise reduction are unlikely to allow it to shoot even well in not very good lighting, as the test images demonstrate. On a sunny day, the camera can handle large subjects.

Telephone and communications

The smartphone works as standard in modern 2G GSM and 3G WCDMA networks, and also supports networks used in Russia fourth generation(LTE Cat 4 with theoretical speeds up to 150 Mbps). With a SIM card from the domestic operator Megafon, the smartphone in practice confidently finds and works with the LTE network. It should be noted that another modification, which works with two SIM cards, does not support LTE, capabilities wireless transmission Its data is limited to 3G mode.

Additional network capabilities include support for NFC technology, but the device does not support the second Wi-Fi band (5 GHz). But the connection mode is implemented external devices To USB port(USB Host, USB OTG). The operation of the navigation module does not cause any particular complaints; both GPS and the domestic Glonass system are supported, and even satellites of the Chinese Beidou system (BDS) are registered.

There were no spontaneous reboots/shutdowns observed during testing, the interface works clearly and quickly, there are no delays or slowdowns. The phone application supports Smart Dial, that is, while dialing telephone number A search for contacts is also carried out immediately. There is also the ability to enter text in continuous writing (Swype). For obvious reasons, the ability to reduce virtual keys in size was not provided here.

OS and software

The operating system uses an outdated version of the Google Android 4.4.2 KitKat software platform, on top of which Sony's proprietary graphical user interface is traditionally installed. The interface is standard, well known from the manufacturer’s previous models; practically nothing has changed here; in this regard, Sony does not have such a big gap between top-end and budget models, like, for example, Samsung. All the familiar branded services and applications are in place, only a fun feature has been added to launch an application by shaking the smartphone. By default, if you hold down the power button and shake the device, the camera will turn on, but this function can be reassigned to any other program.

Performance

The Sony Xperia E3 hardware platform is based on the entry-level mobile platform Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 (MSM8926). The single-chip system installed in the smartphone has 4 ARM Cortex-A7 cores operating at a frequency of 1.2 GHz. Graphics processing here is carried out by far from the most powerful video accelerator Adreno 305. Volume random access memory is 1 GB. Supports microSD memory cards up to 32 GB, as well as connecting external devices to the USB port in OTG mode.

Initially, less than 1 GB (out of 4) of own memory is available for the user’s needs in the device, and this is perhaps one of the saddest moments in the description of this model. Installation locations additional programs There is a catastrophic shortage, not to mention games - there is simply nowhere to install them. It got to the point that after running one test, it was necessary to delete it from memory in order to be able to install the next benchmark. This is completely unacceptable; obviously, the developers from Sony forgot that the Android OS used in the smartphone does not support installing programs on a memory card. This annoying detail greatly limits the scope of application of the Sony Xperia E3 - a smartphone without applications, it is not a smartphone.

According to the testing results, the platform showed expectedly modest results, below the average value (~18K in AnTuTu), approximately at the level of another budget platform from MediaTek (MT6582) and significantly lower than even mid-level platforms (for example, MediaTek MT6592), not to mention the flagship level . The Adreno 305 video subsystem, however, showed itself to be even better than the same Mali-400MP installed in the competing MT6592. In terms of the performance level of the hardware platform, the Sony Xperia E3 smartphone cannot be classified as an average level; by today's standards, this level is rather entry-level. The device's capabilities are enough to perform basic tasks, but this is not a multimedia solution.

Testing in latest versions comprehensive tests AnTuTu and GeekBench 3:

For convenience, we have compiled all the results we obtained when testing the smartphone in the latest versions of popular benchmarks into tables. The table usually adds several other devices from different segments, also tested on similar latest versions of benchmarks (this is done only for a visual assessment of the obtained dry figures). Unfortunately, within the framework of one comparison it is impossible to present the results from different versions of benchmarks, so many worthy and relevant models remain “behind the scenes” - due to the fact that they once passed the “obstacle course” on previous versions test programs.

Testing the graphics subsystem in 3DMark game tests,GFXBenchmark, and Bonsai Benchmark:

When testing in 3DMark, the most powerful smartphones now have the ability to run the application in Unlimited mode, where the rendering resolution is fixed at 720p and VSync is disabled (which can cause the speed to rise above 60 fps).

Bonsai Benchmark	2468 (35 fps)	1250 (18 fps)	12096 (30 fps)	2112 (30 fps)	1290 (18 fps)

Browser cross-platform tests:

As for benchmarks for assessing the speed of the javascript engine, you should always make allowance for the fact that their results significantly depend on the browser in which they are launched, so the comparison can only be truly correct on the same OS and browsers, and this is possible during testing not always. For Android OS, we always try to use Google Chrome.

Playing video

To test the omnivorous nature of video playback (including support for various codecs, containers and special features, such as subtitles), we used the most common formats, which make up the bulk of the content available on the Internet. Note that for mobile devices It is important to have support for hardware video decoding at the chip level, since it is most often impossible to process modern options using processor cores alone. Also, you shouldn’t expect a mobile device to decode everything, since the leadership in flexibility belongs to the PC, and no one is going to challenge it. All results are summarized in a single table.

According to the testing results, the subject was not equipped with all the necessary decoders that are needed to fully play most of the most common multimedia files on the network. To successfully play them, you will have to resort to the help of a third-party player - for example, MX Player. True, it is also necessary to change the settings and install additional custom codecs, because now this player does not officially support the AC3 sound format.

Format	Container, video, sound	MX Video Player	Standard video player
DVDRip	AVI, XviD 720×400 2200 Kbps, MP3+AC3	plays normally	plays normally

¹ sound in MX Video Player was played only after installing an alternative custom audio codec; The standard player does not have this setting

Further testing of video playback was performed Alexey Kudryavtsev.

We did not find the MHL interface, like Mobility DisplayPort, in this smartphone, so we had to limit ourselves to testing the output of video files on the screen of the device itself. To do this, we used a set of test files with an arrow and a rectangle moving one division per frame (see “Method for testing video playback and display devices. Version 1 (for mobile devices) Red marks indicate possible problems associated with the playback of the corresponding files.

According to the criterion of frame output, the quality of playback of video files on the screen of the smartphone itself is good, since frames (or groups of frames) can (but are not required) be output with uniform alternation of intervals and without skipping frames. The exception is Full HD files with 60 fps, in which several frames are skipped. When playing video files with a resolution of 1920 by 1080 (1080p) on a smartphone screen, the image of the video file itself is displayed exactly along the border of the screen. The brightness range displayed on the screen corresponds to the standard range of 16-235 - all shade gradations are displayed in shadows and highlights - which is what is required for correct playback of typical video files.

Battery life

The non-removable battery installed in the Sony Xperia E3 has a capacity of 2330 mAh that is quite standard for a budget level. The hardware platform in the smartphone is modest, the screen is small and has no a high resolution— they are not too demanding in terms of energy resources. Accordingly, the duration battery life The device demonstrated a very decent performance. But here you should remember that hardware capabilities of this smartphone not enough to adequately handle demanding multimedia tasks. It is worth noting that the device has a proprietary Stamina energy saving mode, in which the smartphone can last even longer.

Continuous reading in the FBReader program (with a standard, light theme) at a minimum comfortable brightness level (brightness was set to 100 cd/m²) lasted until the battery was completely discharged for about 16.5 hours, and when continuously watching YouTube videos (360p) the same brightness level through home network The Wi-Fi device lasted 11 hours. In 3D gaming mode, the smartphone worked for more than 6 hours. Full charging time is 2 hours 15 minutes.

Bottom line

Sony approached the issue of creating a budget smartphone with complete straightforwardness. Having provided their youth device with bright colors and an attractive design, the developers left the hardware characteristics of the model at the level of the year before last, at best. The camera here is frankly weak, the internal memory is sorely lacking, and this is unforgivable. Screen, sound, network capabilities - all this is on entry level, but nothing more. The device can only boast of an attractive design with a level of production and assembly befitting a leader, as well as a high level of autonomy, but this is, rather, the “merit” of a low-power platform and a small screen of poor quality. At the same time, a smartphone costs about 10 thousand rubles in official retail, and one could even come to terms with this if it did not have such an outright failure with a lack of memory. In any case, for that kind of money, lesser-known brands are even now ready to provide products, albeit not by much, but still better level on technical equipment.

- The boat itself is nothing,
strength in the oar.

Compact smartphones have recently come in two types: the first, the most common, are budget and rather boring gadgets. The second option, unfortunately, is much less popular, is devices with “adult” technical filling, which cost a lot. One such gadget, for example, is Sony Xperia Z3 Compact. Our test subject today is something in between. It is not too boring: it has a more or less modern system-on-a-chip installed, there is support for LTE, and the device costs quite a reasonable amount of money - about ten thousand rubles. And this is according to current exchange rate!

⇡ Appearance and ergonomics

The smartphone is made in the new Sony style: it looks like its older brother - Xperia Z3. The E3 has similar body proportions, key layout and a similar corner radius. Perhaps the most noticeable external difference between the E3 and the Z3 is that the former is significantly smaller. It's really easy to use with one hand - your thumb can easily reach all four corners of the screen. The device does not weigh very much - 144 grams. The thickness of its case is also average - eight and a half millimeters.

As is customary with Sony, the E3 does not have any keys on the front panel. All buttons are touch sensitive and are located directly on the display. At the top of the panel there is a front-facing 0.3-megapixel camera lens.

At the corners of the Xperia E3 there are polycarbonate plastic linings - almost the same as those on its older sister Z3. The only difference is that where they are should absorb shock when the device falls, and here the corners do not extinguish anything and play a purely decorative role. The power and volume keys are on the right side. The button travel is short and distinct.

Sony Xperia E3 - left and top ends

At all ends there is a contrasting aluminum-look plastic insert, which adds charm to the device - and again, similarities with the Xperia Z3. Except that there is real aluminum, and here it is toy aluminum. The universal 3.5 mm audio jack is placed on the top end, and the Micro-USB interface is placed on the left side. The bottom end is empty.

The “back” of the device is made of matte plastic. Its surface is non-marking and rough - not like the Z3, but the device does not slip out of your hands during operation. At the top of the panel is the lens of the main five-megapixel camera along with a diode flash. At the bottom of the panel there is a slot for an external speaker.

The back cover, by the way, is removable. Under it there are connectors for installing microSD memory cards and Micro-SIM format SIM cards. However, users do not have access to the battery. If you need to replace the battery, you will have to take the device to a service center - or use a screwdriver.

In general, the device looks strict and quite nice. We have no comments about the assembly: during a week of testing, we did not find any suspicious play, the twisting and breaking test was passed without any incidents, and without a single attempt to creak the plastic from the smartphone. Sony Xperia E3 comes in white, black, lemon and brown colors.

⇡ Display

The Sony Xperia E3 has a 4.5-inch matrix with a frankly low resolution - 480 × 854 pixels. Its pixel density is moderate - 218 ppi. Of course, by modern standards this is quite a bit, but for a budget device it will do. Individual dots, of course, are visible even if you do not bring the device to your eyes, but during everyday use this does not interfere too much. The pixelation effect is noticeable only if you look closely at the screen, and then only on contrast transitions and small fonts. Movies and photographs look quite detailed.

The device uses an IPS matrix (in-plane switching technology). As you know, the quality of such matrices varies greatly, and in budget devices it often leaves much to be desired - manufacturers save money, but since installing TN in our time is already indecent, they try to find IPS cheaper. This is fortunately not the case with the Xperia E3. The viewing angles of the screen are quite wide: if you wish, you can watch a movie on the device together or, as an option, spy on how someone is playing. True, determining viewing angles (the angle at which the contrast does not drop below 10:1) is one thing, but real sensations are another. The contrast still noticeably decreases when the gaze deviates from the perpendicular, although the treasured 10:1, of course, remains under almost any angle.

The screen is quite responsive: it responds quickly and accurately to touches, and recognizes gestures without difficulty. Erroneous touches can occur due to the fact that the device has a small screen, but in practice their number during testing was minimal. The device can be used with loose gloves - it responds correctly to touch. The display supports up to five simultaneous clicks.

Despite the fact that the Xperia E3 is a budget device, its display is well made qualitatively. One Glass Solution (OGS) technology is used - there is no air gap between the matrix and the protective glass of the front panel.

The front panel is covered with a polarizing filter, which reduces unwanted glare and reflections. There is even a hint of an oleophobic coating; however, it could be more effective. In any case, the front panel glass is not associated with window glass - and this is already good.

The brightness reserve of the Sony Xperia E3 smartphone pleasantly surprised us: the maximum luminosity of the white field is 532 cd/m2. This is very high brightness - some flagship smartphones are not even close. Information on the screen remains readable even in direct sunlight, and there is absolutely no need to turn the brightness slider to maximum indoors. The minimum screen brightness was not too high, which is also very good - 24 candelas per square meter. Such wide brightness frames allow you to comfortably use the device both in the dark and under the sun.

The black field luminosity is moderate for such a high brightness - 0.53 candelas per square meter (in this case, less is better). Of course, at the maximum backlight level, the black color is a little blown out, but overall it looks quite deep. The screen contrast is high - 1004:1. Very good, really great.

The color temperature coincides with the reference value of 6500 K on almost all shades of gray - on average it is 6600 K. The Sony shell provides the ability to programmatically adjust the white balance, but we do not see any need to use it - the color temperature is set up perfectly.

Unfortunately, the screen is not calibrated without flaws. Both the gamma curve of shades of gray and the curves of color components - they all have a noticeable dip along almost the entire length. This means that almost all shades of primary colors look darker than they should. In practice, of course, this is not very noticeable until you compare the E3 with something more successfully tuned.

But the color gamut of the Xperia E3 display, on the contrary, almost completely coincides with the standard sRGB color gamut (98.3%) - this is very good. The colors on the smartphone display look true and realistic. Overall, the screen of the budget Xperia E3 is very good, even by “adult” standards. If only the resolution were higher, it would have no equal in its category.

⇡ Hardware and performance

In terms of performance, the smartphone has nothing particularly surprising - the Sony Xperia E3 has a rather old Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 system-on-chip modification MSM8926. It has been installed in mid-priced smartphones for quite some time; the platform already has a successor - the Snapdragon 410 MSM8916, but it did not make it to E3. Let us remind you that the “four hundredth” includes four ARM Cortex-A7 cores operating at a frequency of 1.2 GHz; The platform is made using a 28-nanometer technological process.

We have already studied this platform inside and out: you shouldn’t expect a high level of computing power from it, even despite the low screen resolution. However, it is thanks to the resolution that the smartphone is quite capable of working smoothly: it displays the system animation very smoothly and quickly switches between applications. The device copes with everyday tasks very well - after all, what else is required from a budget gadget?

In the general synthetic test AnTuTu Benchmark 5, the gadget scored exactly eighteen and a half thousand points. The result is quite acceptable - about the same as that of classmates and slightly more expensive devices. However, it is worth noting that flagship smartphones score 40-50 thousand points in this test, so don’t delude yourself .

The device has one gigabyte of RAM. The built-in flash memory is only four gigabytes, of which less than two are available to the user - in this case you cannot do without a memory card (you can install a microSD in the device). For example, almost immediately after installing our package of test applications and saving a couple of dozen photos, the smartphone began to complain about a lack of free memory. Not good.

The device copes very well with playing video in standard definition and running casual arcade games. The picture does not twitch, the number of frames per second practically does not fall below the treasured thirty FPS. In a simple gaming task Basemark 2 Taiji, the smartphone shows an average of 54 frames per second. The result is good, especially when compared with competitors.

The gadget does not give up even when running more resource-intensive applications, except that in 3D toys the image periodically jerks. Overall, however, the Xperia E3 performs surprisingly well in 3D applications.

The device quite confidently copes with most tasks that can be offered to a budget smartphone. You shouldn't ask for more from a device in this category. There is quite enough power here.

⇡ Contact

Two versions of the Sony Xperia E3 have been prepared for the European market: one can work with two SIM cards, the second can work in fourth-generation networks, but only with one SIM. A version with 4G support came to us for testing. In theory, it can receive data at speeds of up to 150 Mbit/s (LTE Cat. 4), but in practice it all depends on the mobile operator. We have no comments about the quality of signal reception. The volume reserve of the conversational speaker is decent, the interlocutors do not complain about poor audibility. Talking on the Xperia E3 is quite comfortable.

Kit wireless interfaces The smartphone has a standard one. The gadget supports Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and NFC. A radio module with GPS and GLONASS is responsible for navigation in the device. The device finds its location quite quickly - the smartphone can be used as a car navigator. Less than a minute after launching the profile test, the gadget was guided by ten satellites, and the navigation error radius was fourteen meters - quite decent.

⇡ Autonomous operation

In terms of battery life, everything is quite prosaic and simple: at high loads, the smartphone battery lasts for a working day, at moderate loads - for a day or even a little more. During testing, there was no situation where the smartphone was discharged before the end of the working day, although the device was used as the main means of communication. The device has an 8.85 Wh battery (2330 mAh, 3.8 V), which is sufficient to ensure long battery life.

Traditionally for Sony, the device has a proprietary STAMINA mode, which disables data transfer in standby mode. An energy saving option is also available when the battery charge is low, disabling a number of “gluttonous” functions. The smartphone can also turn Wi-Fi on/off depending on location and transfer data in the background in a queue. It’s worth delving into these parameters and customizing them to suit yourself - they help extend the life of the battery by an hour or two.

⇡ Camera

The camera set of the smartphone is very modest by modern standards. The front camera here, for example, is only 0.3 megapixels. It can only be used in good lighting. Even in an ordinary, more or less bright room, the picture becomes covered with artifacts and becomes almost unreadable. The main camera is five megapixel. It is equipped with an automatic focusing system and complemented by a diode flash.

Software

Smartphone running in operating room Android system 4.4.2 KitKat. A proprietary Sony shell is installed on top of it. The same as in the flagship Xperia Z3 and Z3 Compact - with all the options and features, without any restrictions. During the week of testing, we were once again convinced that, in our opinion, Sony has this moment one of the best skins for Android smartphones. Its beauty is not in the software bells and whistles, not in any options, but in the stability of operation. It is thanks to the well-debugged firmware that even a budget Sony gadget works very smoothly, without slowdowns or freezes. This is a rare quality for an inexpensive Android smartphone. Kit standard applications systems supplemented file manager, "reader" electronic documents, notes service and others useful programs. It is noteworthy that if necessary, free up a couple of megabytes disk space These applications can be removed - they are not built into the shell. In the case of the Xperia E3 with its four gigabytes of memory, this is very important.

⇡ Conclusion

It is simply impossible to talk about the Sony Xperia E3 without mentioning its price: its cost is its main trump card. If anyone has forgotten, let us remind you that we are talking about a device that costs ten thousand rubles (and in some online stores even less). Even before the price increase, this was a small amount for a decent smartphone from a first-category brand, but now this price can be considered almost a gift. What does the user get for this money?

AdvantagesSony Xperia E3:

• bright and contrasting display;
• support for fourth generation networks;
• perfectly optimized firmware with a rich set of applications.

FlawsSony Xperia E3:

• small amount of built-in flash memory;
• Both cameras on the device are frankly weak.

This time the lists of pros and cons were very short. The fact is that all the main components of the budget Xperia - hardware, battery, quality of body materials - are simply good. There are no frills or records, so we don’t list them as merits. However, for a smartphone in the lower price category, the Xperia E3 is at a very decent level. And if you are looking for a compact and inexpensive device that will work stably and have plus or minus all the current “smart” functions, then the Sony Xperia E3 can top the list of candidates for purchase. We wouldn't recommend it to anyone who likes to take pictures.

Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)

The SAR level refers to the amount of electromagnetic radiation absorbed by the human body while using a mobile device.

Head SAR level (EU) The SAR level indicates maximum amount electromagnetic radiation to which the human body is exposed when holding a mobile device next to the ear in a conversation position. In Europe the maximum permissible value SAR for mobile devices is limited to 2 W/kg per 10 grams of human tissue. This standard has been established by CENELEC in accordance with IEC standards, subject to the guidelines of ICNIRP 1998.	0.538 W/kg (Watt per kilogram)
Body SAR level (EU) The SAR level indicates the maximum amount of electromagnetic radiation to which the human body is exposed when holding a mobile device at hip level. The maximum permissible SAR value for mobile devices in Europe is 2 W/kg per 10 grams of human tissue. This standard has been established by the CENELEC Committee in compliance with the ICNIRP 1998 guidelines and IEC standards.	0.664 W/kg (Watt per kilogram)
Head SAR level (US) The SAR level indicates the maximum amount of electromagnetic radiation that the human body is exposed to when holding a mobile device near the ear. The maximum value used in the USA is 1.6 W/kg per 1 gram of human tissue. Mobile devices in the US are regulated by the CTIA, and the FCC conducts tests and sets their SAR values.	0.712 W/kg (Watt per kilogram)
Body SAR level (US) The SAR level indicates the maximum amount of electromagnetic radiation to which the human body is exposed when holding a mobile device at hip level. The highest permissible SAR value in the USA is 1.6 W/kg per 1 gram of human tissue. This value is set by the FCC, and the CTIA monitors mobile devices' compliance with this standard.	1.288 W/kg (Watt per kilogram)

If you are a student and carry a power bank with you, then you can take a used one, it will be faithful. What they say is that it holds the charge well, mb, but this is only the first year, and then... A friend has the same phone, a similar situation

This model undermined the trust in Sonya, at first it was normal, and then the troubles just started to piss me off. It cost about 9k, you could put 8 gigs of memory in there, well? If products from Sony at an overprice give such jokes, then expect no less funny jokes in older models.

I bought it for 7800 in the first store I came across instead of a dead Xperia Miro. The tasks were: android 4, mp-3 player, flashlight, long operating time on 30% charge, camera, A-GPS, and price within 5000). I couldn’t find it))) I could order Umi, but I had 10,000 rubles and 10 minutes before the store closed. What did you get: The screen is excellent. Performance - after Miro everything flies. The charge lasts 2 days or longer, which was a pleasant shock. At first, with the slightest pressure on the case in my pocket, the phone rebooted. As a result, I bent the SIM card holders and it became possible to “even drop them.” In 4 months it has never rebooted or frozen. The screen brightness in the “light sensor” mode does not change, it just jumps by 1/3 and that’s it. The camera has a very small viewing angle, is mediocre but does an excellent job of photographing A4 documents. It will also work for measuring rooms. The memory is initially full of default applications and you have to choose - either 2Gis or Sberbank online. Two won't fit anymore. An unpleasant surprise with GPS./GLONASS. Miro determined the location in 10 seconds, even while moving, and with an accuracy of less than a meter. Here the accuracy is 10-20 meters, the direction of movement is not determined at all. On the Google map, rushing around like crazy. A “quick” start takes about 2 minutes, but while driving you may not start at all until you stop. For Yandex navigator and 2GIS, this accuracy is suitable, but if you need to turn on the navigator on the road, this is a complete sham. Two SIM cards work reliably at the same time. With extra internet speed is minimal. Bottom line: I’m very pleased with the purchase; for THIS PRICE it turned out to be an excellent device. If the GPS worked normally, it would be ideal. I’m used to the gigantic size; I’m simply indispensable for my work. If you are satisfied with the characteristics, I definitely recommend it.

The device is about three years old, has seen a lot, there have been falls from a height of four meters onto a concrete floor, numerous falls from a meter height, an unceremonious attitude, the phone has a broken screen, the case is falling apart, the back cover is glued, but despite all this, it is still It works just like it came from the store, the phone is a hard worker, I think it will last for more than one year :)

Do not take it under any circumstances - for the 10-11 thousand rubles they are asking for it, you can take a normal Chinese one and not overpay for a dying brand. The phone can only be used as a simple dialer - otherwise its functionality is simply crap.

I would like to mention its exorbitant survivability - it fell into a puddle and lay in it for more than 30 seconds, after which it worked like it came from a factory. Fell from the 3rd floor - got scratched protective film and a microscopic piece of paint on the sound button, falling on the floor/tiles were produced in the nth number, but without any damage to the insides or a decline in performance. The phone is 3.5 years old; only a relatively worn-out battery and battle scars on the case can give away its age. If you want a phone that won’t shatter into pieces at the slightest touch, due to your sloppiness (hands from...), sit on social media. networks/watch videos, then this is a great option for your money. The main camera is enough to take average quality photos, but nothing more.

If you only need a phone for calls and rarely access the Internet, this is for you. For all other functions, it is not the best choice.

In general, I bought this phone almost a year ago, at first I read everything that was written here, I was a little upset, I thought that, like all phones, after a while everything would get worse, but this did not happen, after 10 months it is like new. Yes, there’s not enough memory, I just installed root through the regular KINGROOT application and deleted all the standard applications to hell, and installed applications I transfer to SD via App2sd. As a result, about 1GB of built-in free memory remains stable. I also disabled all unnecessary background applications, and opera. The memory is freer and the battery is even smaller. Flies like an airplane, doesn’t lose connection, in general, even after iPhone 5s? It works quite well with it.

I like it and appearance and the size of the phone itself. But the lack of memory is sometimes very noticeable. Although when I demolished unnecessary programs, everything fell into place. And productivity has increased and the ability to update applications. I like the build quality. There is no creaking or squeaking anywhere. Not long ago I thought about changing the device and realized that there is nothing sensible on the market now in this price category, according to the parameters that interest me. I don’t take into consideration all sorts of xiaomi and so on. Well, the camera is weak, although when I bought it, this parameter was not important to me. The battery is completely satisfactory. Enough for the day calmly and with reserve. For active conversations and correspondence, at least 2-3 hours of Internet per day, navigator and Wi-Fi. And by evening another 20% remains. If I turn all this off, I won’t be able to charge it consistently for two days. I don’t know about others, but mine gets very hot top part phone when using a navigator. Moreover, it gets so hot that if someone calls at that moment, it is impossible to bring the phone to your ear. Really hot. but otherwise a solid four
