Smartphone "Sony Sony T2": an overview, features and reviews

"Sony T2" - the next creation of the famous company. The smartphone, unlike most of the colleagues, got to the budget niche, which is indicated by the price tag. There is nothing special about the specifications, but support for two SIM cards and a good camera. Well, let's take a closer look at Sony's T2 Ultra features. The price of the device at the time of writing was 15,000 rubles.

Equipment

Well, to begin, of course, it is worth starting with the configuration of the device. Delivered "Sony T2 Ultra Dual" in a small box that is made of ordinary cardboard. It looks all inexpensive, comparable to what many Chinese companies demonstrate. The delivery set too you will not name generous:

• Smartphone.
• Manuals.
• USB cable.
• Charger.

To use this enough, but I would like to see a protective glass, so as not to buy it separately. And the headphones would not be in the way.

Design

"Sony T2" is made in the best traditions of the company. From the first glance you can fall in love with this inexpensive phablet. Besides the attractive appearance, the device is quite compact. It is easy to use one hand, fits in a small pocket or purse. The market is presented in the following color variations: black, white and purple. In general terms - a typical representative of Sony.

The case is made of plastic. The ends received a thin silver insert, which gives solidity to the device. On the right side of the "Sony T2 Ultra Dual" are the main controls: power button, volume rocker, and a separate key for the camera. Here, just above, there is an input 3.5 mm for headphones and a memory card tray. The lower and upper end is empty. On the left edge there is a slot for two SIM-cards. In the upper corner there is a microUSB port.

On the front side of the Sony Ixperia T2 Ultra Dual, everything is standard: a screen, a speaker, sensors, a front camera. To control the user, on-screen keys are available. On the lower part you can see the metal grille of the external speaker. The back cover of the Sony Ixperia T2 Ultra Dual is occupied by the camera's eye with an LED flash, an external speaker and several manufacturer's logos.

Did not adopt the model of older brothers protection from moisture. This hints immediately open port for charging. Before the flagship "Sony T2 Dual" is far, but in a budgetary niche, he feels confident.

Display

In this regard, the apparatus is a real giant. Installed a screen of 6 inches, which many will seem very large. Yes, in everyday work, it may not be very convenient, but watching movies and visiting the Internet pages on it is comfortable.

The display "Sony Ixperia T2 Dual" is based on the TFT-matrix, which is slightly inferior to the IPS. Resolution HD, that is 1280x720 pixels. In general, the screen is not bad, but you can find fault. White with a shade of yellow, sometimes lacking in brightness. Viewing angles are pretty good, but not perfect.

Cameras

The devices from Sony could always please the user with good quality photos. Nor was the exception of "Sony T2 Dual". The main Exmor RS module is 13 megapixels. There is an LED flash and autofocus. There are different effects for photo processing. The convenience of using the camera adds a separate control key. There are several shooting modes, even manual. Is able to recognize faces and zamylivat background.

The camera is decent, but it's far from flagship solutions. Pictures are obtained quite natural, rich and detailed. Under normal lighting behaves well. True, it can often be noticed that sharpness falls along the edges. With the tasks fully handles the automatic shooting mode, so you can not switch to manual. But at night the photos are very poor quality. The speed of focusing falls, the system tries to get rid of noise, but suffers from this detailing. The camera can record video, but only in HD quality. Rollers turn out good, but no more.

For the needs of the user there is also a front camera. It is installed more likely for usual video calls. The module is only 1.1 megapixels. The situation is slightly corrected by various modes and effects.

Performance

The hardware part of the smartphone is represented by typical components for the budget class. The "brain" is Qualcomm's 4-core processor MSM8228. Average in power, but supports work with LTE, which is its main advantage. All four cores of Cortex-A7 operate at a clock speed of 1.4 GHz. To the pluses of Qualcomm MSM8228 can be attributed and low power consumption, than the older models can not boast.

As a graphic adapter is the budgetary Adreno 305. In AnTuTu the device collects about 19000 points. For modern tasks, the CPU is at a glance, given the diagonal of the screen.

RAM in the smartphone is only 1 GB, which today is not enough for every user. Quite a lot takes the operating system and standard applications, for the needs of the owner is a meager amount. You can forget about good multitasking. Constantly it is necessary to clean out open programs and games. Sometimes you can notice a slight slowdown on the desktop, but this can be caused by a "curve" system. The amount of RAM is one of the essential shortcomings of the phabet.

Not pleased with the capacity of the internal drive - only 8 GB. Given the "appetite" of the operating system and modern programs, this is very small, even for the most undemanding users. Corrects the possibility of installing memory cards, but they will have to be purchased separately.

In general, the processor is sufficient for the stable work of the phabet (not the highest screen resolution affects). There is little internal memory, but memory cards are being saved. But with the operational can not be helped, you have to limit the use of some programs.

The system copes with the work on the web without problems. Motion pictures are played in high resolution, but the standard player does not support some formats. In this case, third-party players come to the rescue, which are available for free download.

Software

There is a phablet running the Android operating system. Originally released versions with Android 4.1, but received an upgrade to 5.1. At some points, the interface is different from other models due to the large screen. The icons were enlarged and the grid expanded. As a result, huge icons have turned out, which for some will be a plus, but for others - serious minuses.

Did not stay "Sony T2" without firmware. In this regard, everything is similar to what is available in other devices of the company. There is a set of themes that make the interface more convenient and attractive. There was no leftback even without the "chips". It is enough to make a double tap on the Home button so that the status bar appears . It is made for more comfortable use of the big screen. There is support for work in gloves, which can be assessed in the cold seasons.

In the rest, here is a typical Android interface with inclusions of branded "chips" Sony. To use it is convenient enough, and it does not get bored.

Autonomy

Fablet received a non-removable battery at 3000 mAh. Capacity is not the best on the market, but for a 6-inch unit is acceptable. The manufacturer said that the device can work up to 16 hours in standby mode, up to 11 hours of video playback. Melomanov was encouraged by the fact that the smartphone will be able to play music for more than 80 hours. Given the diagonal of the screen, these statements looked overpriced.

In fact, in terms of autonomy, "Sony T2" proved to be the best. About 10 hours of HD video playback at almost maximum brightness. In modern games, everything is not so rosy - hours 5-6. At medium loads, you can count on a full day without recharging. If you reduce the intensity of use, the smartphone will last several days.

Reviews

"Sony T2 Ultra", the price of which looks acceptable even today, just could not help attracting the attention of users. Reviews about the smartphone are usually positive, but some owners do not forget about the shortcomings. The main one is the amount of RAM. The lovers of Selfie remained unhappy with the front camera. To minor disadvantages, you can include the back panel, which is very quickly scratched.
