sige mag LTE ka sa xperia C mo… mas malakas itong hamak sa xperia C, 17-20k ang antutu ng M2, 8gb internal storage, classy design hanggang sa likod, 8 megapixel camera… xperia SP katapat nito.

sa gaming mas OK ang xperia SP dahil sa adreno 320, ang m2 ay naka adreno 305 lang. pero sa batt life at general performance lamang ang M2 dahil sa snapdragon 400 quad core na mas batt efficient. lamang pa ang M2 sa SP sa design dahil mukha syang Z series so mataas ang wow factor.

if you come from old sony budget series like the miro/tipo/e/neo etc this is a great upgrade. this is like xperia Z mini for budget conscious mid range phone users

Why isn’t the M2 in stores yet? Based on this article it’s supposed to be out end of April.

The Sony Xperia M2 is a solid, if unspectacular, phone that ticks the boxes and brings enough of the Japanese brand’s tech to make it feel wanted. However, it’s unlikely to be number one on any prospective buyer’s wishlist.
