Sony’s Xperia models have always been synonymous with top-end smartphones and slightly unaffordable for a segment of people. Due to this, Sony has now decided to launch an affordable model, the Xperia M. (In fact, the M may actually stand for Mid-Range!) It is available in both single and dual sim versions at the reasonable price of 13000 INR.
Some of the key features being offered by this device are:
DESIGN
Sony Xperia M is a handy device having dimensions of 124 x 62 x 9.3 mm and weighs 124 g. Although the design is similar to the other Xperia models, it highlights an aluminium power button on the right along with a volume rocker and a camera key.
The headphone jack is present at the top and the bottom part is left empty without any elements. From the back, one gets a soft rubberized feel containing a primary camera and speaker mesh. It is available in black, white, yellow and purple colors.

DISPLAY
Sony Xperia M boasts of a 4 inch touchscreen having a resolution of 854 x 480 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of 245 ppi.
HARDWARE
This device runs on a dual core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 plus processor at 1.2 GHz. It is also backed with a 1 GB RAM which is responsible for the smooth performance in running apps or multitasking. It has a memory of 4 GB which seems like a disappointment, but fortunately, it is expandable to up to 32 GB using a microSD card.
It also contains a removable battery of 1700mAh which is equipped with the STAMINA mode for increased and optimized battery usage.
In connectivity purposes, the device contains 2G/3G support, Bluetooth 3.0 and its most prominent feature yet – the Near Field Communication (NFC). An NFC trademark forum, the ‘N Mark Antenna’ is present at the back of the phone and is used conveniently to pair Xperia M to other devices such as wireless headsets and even to televisions to share photos, videos and music.
This can be done through a single tap, without the cumbersome use of wires and cables. You can now play music on your Xperia M device through NFC speakers simply by tapping the NFC antenna to the speaker and streaming live music. A feature called “Throw”, which is integrated into the device beforehand enables the smartphone to find the best possible way to connect to another device wirelessly.
Sony Xperia M now becomes the first middle-range smartphone containing the NFC function – something which was characteristic only to the premium smartphone uptil now.
