Xperia M in two versions

Sony Xperia M is, according to the manufacturer, the best thing Sony can offer in the field of communication and design. The launch took place in London today, and the smartphone in addition to standard options received support for NFC and a variety Xperia M dual.

Sony Xperia M and Sony Xperia M dual are to bring users much joy with ease of use NFC and contactless payments, cost-effective battery working in stamina mode, or the availability of the Sony Entertainment Network.

Moreover, smartphones allow viewing content on a larger screen in screen mirroring mode, allow music lovers to enjoy Clearaudio+, xLOUD and 3D Surround sound and photographers to take pictures with a 5 megapixel camera with a dedicated shutter key and HDR.

The latest Sony products run Android 4.1 Jelly Bean (Sony Xperia M) and 4.2 Jelly Bean (Xperia M dual). Their hearts are dual-core Qualcomm MSM8227 processors. 4 inch displays handle 480x854 pixels resolution and are covered with glass to protect against scratches.

As it turns out, probably it's not quite certain in what mode the SIM card will work in a variant that supports two cards. In the press release the manufacturer says about the need to choose between cards before calling or sending a message, suggesting dual standby. Each card can be individually tailored to the needs of a user - including ability to set the ringing tone for each card.

Both smartphone varieties will be available in worldwide sales in the 3rd quarter.

The support of two SIM cards is becoming a standard in the devices available on the European market. Major manufacturers a bit late, with considerable inertia, have understood that it will be difficult for them to compete with Chinese constructions without a step making their phones closer to consumer expectations, and dismissing the expectations of operators. I must admit that I was surprised by information about the diversity of Android versions in both smartphones. Technical specifications are almost identical - I cannot understand the reason why at the beginning buyers are discouraged from buying a smartphone version with one card.
