Sony Xperia J review: Junior league

A trimmed-down version of the Bond phone or a remake of the Xperia Arc, the Sony Xperia J knows looks are important to reasonable spenders, too, and doesn't get carried away with the level of equipment. What it offers over a very similarly equipped...

Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE and dual-band UMTS support ; 7.2 Mbps HSDPA and 5.76 Mbps HSUPA ; 4.0" 16M-color TFT capacitive touchscreen of FWVGA resolution (480 x 854 pixels) at around 245 ppi ; Android OS v4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich ; 1 GHz Cortex-A5 CPU,...

Noticeable lag ; Non-hot-swappable microSD slot ; Image quality a bit of a letdown ; No hardware shutter key ; No DivX/XviD support ; Feeble loudspeaker

The styling of the company's flagship smartphone and a screen with more pixels than most people expect for the price give the Sony Xperia J a headstart over the competition. On the other hand, Sony had to make a lot of hard decisions to stay within...

Sony Xperia J Review

Sony has a good track record for delivering decent mid-range Android smartphones at very competitive price points, and the Xperia J is the latest handset to join the party. Its 4-inch display and beefy battery are among the features that make it stand...

Good display ; Relatively decent battery life ; Cheap

Performance is below par ; Horrible camera ; The lack of light sensor means you have to adjust the screen brightness manually ; Annoying physical buttons

Don't even bother, guys. We know that the Sony Xperia J seems like a worthy pick, especially since it carries a very reasonable price tag, but chances are you'll be disappointed by what you'll get in exchange. For a lower mid-range smartphone, the...

Sony Xperia J review

Less shaken and stirred than its bigger brother, the Xperia J is looking to tackle the lower end of the market.

Very laggy ; Poor camera ; Awful keyboard

Sony Xperia J review

Despite its uncanny resemblance to the high-end Xperia T, the Xperia J offers an underwhelming user experience and is outclassed by similarly priced Android handsets.

Appealing design ; Decent screen ; Impressive battery life

Sluggish performance ; Terrible camera ; Not much internal storage

At first glance it's devilishly hard to tell the Xperia T and the Xperia J apart, but the difference in raw specifications and overall user experience is as vast as the quality gap between GoldenEye and Die Another Day -- while the former is a relative...

Good screen ; Long battery life ; Stylish design

Sluggish performance ; Poor camera ; Jelly Bean update won’t arrive until next year

Sony Xperia J Review

The Sony Xperia J takes on the mid-range smartphone market head-on with its £200 pricepoint, but don't curb your expectations - £200 can get you quite a lot these days. What does the Xperia J bring to the table? A very stylish chassis for starters. Add...

Great screen ; Long lasting battery ; Beautiful design

Underpowered for price ; Stuttery user interface ; Camera exposure issues
