Least they upped the screen res this time. HVGA was criminal

it appears the external speaker can produce 100 dB.

It should have been
branded , the dedicated Walkman button is a great idea. I'm wondering if it has a Walkman branded media player like the 
phones had.

If only it had 1gb ram...
Posted by Bonovox
1 gig ram should be the minimum these days even though Google says 4.4 runs well on 512. Is this 100db speaker Sony's answer to Boom sound by HTC?? Does that mean more teenagers on buses playing their annoying music louder

Samsung should pay Sony to not make their low end devices look better than Samsung flagships...
It's low end. 512mb is what it gets.

seems like washed out viewing angles is a thing of the past for all sony devices, including E1, quite impressive for low end device: http://youtu.be/3qz65USRXio?t=2m33s

They should at least put FWVGA instead of WVGA screen.

Anyone know if the camera is auto-focus?

the best looking low end smartphone at the moment. i just wish they stop using that awful wallpaper. what's really great about that? it's ugly. it makes the display look inferior.
