Ey goldenface, is it FWVGA or HD? You posted two resolutions.

Edit: It has HDR, btw.

Entry level device that still looks exquisite

I love that it has an LED strip similar to ZL, plus a shutter release button, I looks like the evolution of Xperia U to me

They have both in their press release, but it should be FWVGA.
239 € rrp in Germany for the M and 249 for the M dual. Specs are worse than on my Xperia P, really not too keen about this phone.

Overall specs somewhat yes, but Cortex-A9 and Snapdragon S4 at same frequency 1GHz, processing power maybe not.

The main disadvantage of this phone is the internal memory. Other than that it is a good choice for the price range.

That's a bit too high then. Base on its specs, should only be around 190 Euros.

Thats the RRP. Retail price should be significantly lower.

Is it really a 1GHz or 1.7GHz processor, because on the features page, I saw this:

T230 > W300 > W890 > W705 > Live > Xperia T > Xperia Z2a > Xperia X > Xperia XZ2

MSM8227 Krait 1GHz with Adreno 305 along with 4' FWVGA is nothing to write home about it.

According to the Sony Mobile website:

Display and design
4", 16 million colours, 854 x 480 pixels
Scratch-resistant
Capacitive touchscreen with on-screen QWERTY keyboard
16 million colours, 1280 x 720 pixels

Why are they listing 2 resolutions? We know the screen is 854x480 so what is the 1280x720 all about?
