Sony Xperia M2.

ffm

Anyone have one of these? I'm considering getting one. I have an Xperia U for the last 2 & half years & it's just time to get another phone. I have to say, I have no complaints about my first Xperia so I would imagine the rest would be of a similar standard. The one I have now can be slow at times but after 2 & as half years, that's pretty good going.

Anyone have any reports on the M2?

Anyone?

My wife has one of these and it is an excellent phone. She was coming from a Galaxy S4, which drove her bananas with its lag and awful battery.
The M2 has a great battery, nice screen, decent camera, and very good build quality. SD card slot too. I'd highly recommend it to anyone.

Yeah, I was looking on youtube & it seems to get great reviews. One of the biggest things for me is that the battery life is excellent. I think I just may get one.

I though the screen was underwhelming otherwise its a nice device. There's a waterproof version as well.

Screen isn't up to the top panels out there if course but as a budget device I thought it was very very good. Big step up from a Xperia U too. Think its available for 130 euro or so now too so a really good price.

Yeah, I work with water so I'll go for the M2 Aqua. What exactly did you find underwhelming about the screen?

Thats probably fair enough a friend paid 220 a few months ago but at 130 you cant complain.

Had a blue shift, qHD resolution at 5" is quite low/pixelated but again for 130 euro phone it can be forgiven.

The Aqua is €180 & I still think that's a good enough price. I wouldn't be too critical about resolution & all the rest. Once it makes calls, texts, & is pretty sturdy, I'm happy enough. All the rest of the features will be something to keep me entertained when I'm bored. I reckon I'm gonna get one alright in the next couple of weeks.

The screen is not HD so you can't watch HD YouTube vids or anything. Its a pretty basic screen. Nice looking phone at 4.8" but wouldn't be a first choice for me. I guess the moto g would be my choice.

M2 is not getting lolllipop either.

Not having a HD screen wouldn't bother me in the slightest. I watch very few youtube videos on my phone.

What does "getting lolllipop" mean?? Auto correct??

Lollipop will be the next big update of Android operating system. Your phone will run fine as it in the future, wouldn't worry about it.

Oh, right. Yeah, like I said, I'm not that big into phones so it's fine. The fact I didn't even know what Lollipop was tells me that it won't make any difference whether my phone has it or not.
