Features, Performance, and Reviews for the Sony Xperia E4 8GB

The camera function of Sony Xperia E4 8GB

The performance of the "Sony Xperia E4 8GB"'s main camera is rather low with only 5.0MP pixels. If you take a lot of pictures, then you'll likely be dissatisfied with what this camera has to offer.

The "Sony Xperia E4 8GB" comes equipped with a 2.0MP pixel front-facing camera, which is very low resolution. If you aren't particular about your videos or photos, it might be fine, but otherwise, we recommend a smartphone at least one tier higher.

The battery performance of Sony Xperia E4 8GB

The "Sony Xperia E4 8GB"'s battery capacity is 2300.0mAh, a standard level for these types of phones. Compared to other smartphones, the "Sony Xperia E4 8GB" has a standard battery life. It should not be a problem for normal use. However, if you spend a lot of time online or playing games, you may find the battery life a bit dissatisfying.

Sony Xperia E4 8GB 's size

The "Sony Xperia E4 8GB" is 74.6mm wide, 137.0mm tall, and 10.5mm thick. I can just barely use it with one hand, so it may feel big to some people. In the case of the "Sony Xperia E4 8GB", it weighs about 144.0g. The weight is such that it's hardly noticeable even when using one-handed. However, some people may find it tiring to use for long periods.

In giving an overall rating to the "Sony Xperia E4 8GB", while it may be slightly difficult to hold, it shouldn't be much of a problem when considering its general strengths and weaknesses.

Sony Xperia E4 8GB 's screen

The "Sony Xperia E4 8GB" has a 5.0inch screen. The iPhone X has a big screen, which very likely won't ever trouble you. Just be aware that it's not a very good size for writing long blocks of text.

The screen quality of the "Sony Xperia E4 8GB" is such that images and videos can occasionally be somewhat blurry. For general usage however, it's largely not a problem.

The CPU performance of Sony Xperia E4 8GB

The processing power of the "Sony Xperia E4 8GB" is comparatively low at 1.3GHz×4(4.0-cores). You'll most likely notice its lack of power when running games or playing videos. However, you shouldn't have any problems making calls, browsing the internet or using apps like Twitter or Instagram.

The "Sony Xperia E4 8GB" only has 1.0GB of RAM, which is fairly low. The RAM is regularly insufficient, so operation gets unstable and jerky even when using apps that are not resource intensive.

In rating the "Sony Xperia E4 8GB"'s overall operational speed, it ranks at the low end of smartphones. It will lag and feel sluggish even during normal use. In most cases, users will feel the performance to be lacking.

Sony Xperia E4 8GB 's storage capacity

The "Sony Xperia E4 8GB" has 8.0GB of data storage. This is fine if you mainly use email or social media sites, but if you plan to take photos and videos or play games, you should buy an upgrade.

Since the "Sony Xperia E4 8GB" is compatible with SD cards, you'll be able to easily expand your storage capacity; you won't need to worry about how much internal space it has.

Overall assessment of Sony Xperia E4 8GB

The "Sony Xperia E4 8GB"'s performance level is that of a budget smartphone. It's a bit too weak to use as a main smartphone, so if possible you should consider something slightly more powerful.
