Sony Xperia E1 - User Reviews

  • hehehe me too xDDD

  • I had this phone and it definitely didn't have a glass screen

  • i use it 5 years:) still working:):):) no regrets!

  • You do not understand such a simple thing. Old hadrware is more resistant to damage and work longer than the newest shining crap.

  • Not a bad little phone, I bought one at Cash Generator in Halifax for £9.99p (Secondhand of course) but at that price, I'm not complaining. It came with the box and charger, full working order and not a scratch on it. For the price I paid it was a bargain. Full working order.

  • Hahahaha. So why you buy this model?

  • You know this is a 4 year old phone, right?

  • Great value? What??? You can get something way better for the money.

  • Well, considering that for just 100€ more you can get a Lenovo with an IPS 1080p screen and 3GB of RAM along with many other features which does 1080p60 YouTube flawlessly, it is crap.

  • Dude, it barely even handles Facebook, unless you use Lite, and even YouTube is questionable. Are you running Android 4.2? Mine had 4.4.2 and it had RAM issues almost from the beginning. I did drop it accidentally once from 5m on concrete tho, it was mostly intact but maybe this further crippled an already weak performance. I am also a teen and liked it for maybe a year or so. Since this year I've hated it more and more. When typing something the keyboard would close by itself due to low RAM every once in a while. Don't root it tho, I've bricked mine after some time passed...even my Galaxy mini 2 which suffered water damage had no further issues. It's a craphone, and really only good if you install Android 3.x or older. The only good thing about it at this point of time is that it is quite tough. It can survive a nice amount of abuse. And scratch resistent glass? That's BS, it is plastic, and mine has quite a few scratches. And it didn't even crack from a 5m drop on concrete, though it wasn't screen first.

  • Sir can you help me.how to find terminal battery connector in Sony E1

  • Ive had this phone for nearly a month and ive had no issues and im a teenager but i dont need £700 phones to make me happy this one has all of the features to make me happy and i dont know why any body has left bad reviews about a budget phone but its enough and i dont take selfies i dont need fancy features all i need is facebook and youtube with a exellent battery so i cant complain at anythin all of those people that hate this phone went from £500 - £700 phones to a £40 - £80 phone but the best of the budget phone oh and very durable so another plus

  • I think it must be problem with the network even I do face it sometimes

  • I bought this phone and it was the worst thing I did don't really use it that much full battery next day battery dead what do I do

  • So buy a better phone like IPhone 7/ S7/ XZ/ ONE PLUS 3T or else

  • yeah man you are correct. that LED at the bottom is so cool, I also recommend this as a good budget phone through my 2 years of experience

  • Hey Mr.Malayasiyan Xperia Fan do you know the real meaning of "FAN" .if you don't know please refer the dictionary. You can't expect the performance of Xperia XZ or Xperia Z5 from Xperia E1. It's just a budget phone,it is only made to do the basic things of a mobile phone.If you need the best performance you can buy an IPhone 7,XZ, S7 or one plus 3T. I also using this phone for 2 years it impressed me and it made me a Sony fan.I

  • If Stock ROM is lagging, phone is not stable you should look at XDA: It even has a WIP Cyanogenmod 11 which is already faster than Stock ROM...

  • So... you bought the phone without looking at its specs or any review about it. If you're a heavy user, this is not your phone, THIS IS A BUDGET PHONE, don't expect to have Snapdragon 2000 or 41mp camera or 1TB RAM. Look at its price dude, it's supposed to be a budget phone.

  • u really should read the review of this phone first before buying it. sony already said that this phone is a low range smartphone. what r u expecting from it ? it suits the price for rm 299. u just need to be careful with the memory and do not let it reach 85% full. otherwise the phone will start to lag and u might not be able to start it up. as for the camera, u just need to tweak it manually using the iso option. u'll see the difference. bcos it only have a 3mp camera u can't expect too much from it. i've been using the phone for 3 years now, and if u r really sengkek (poor) but in need of smartphone i suggest this one for u.

  • come on man. this is the cheapest phone sony can give us. what do u expect from this low-range phone ?

  • This Phone is The WORST Phone Ive Ever Used! Cons Really Bad Camera No Secondary Camera (Front Facing) Really Slow Its The New Equevelant to The Old BRICK NOKIA It Has No Compatibility with todays apps Laggs Even On Lock Screen Keeps Glitching Out With The Calls Pros Good Sound Walkman Key I really Hate This Phone!!! 1 Camera And ITs REALLLY Bad 3 MP???? and no selfie?! Its Like You Dont Want Teenagers To Buy Your Shit Phone

  • I would like to knw how much does this phone cost

  • seems a good phone,i bought this as a replacement for nokia. i am a happy bunny as i realy think i made a good decision ,as such i will advance a stage further at christmas and get a newer model.

  • Well..yeah! its nice 'n good phone, I expected 2 sim slots but, it has unfortunately only one of it! sounds a bit funny to me but its okay I just need one sim for my use..another feature that could have been added was a front camera for selfies. You can buy the phone if you are not a hardcore gamer like me..I own a ps4 and a pc for gaming, when I took a break from gaming I thought to switch to mobiles for a while and what I held in my hands was this phone, phew! it hanged.. it has really low ram compared to it's operating system. Some pros and cons are- pros *Superb sound quality whether be it speaker or headset *Good looks and branding *Some feature can surprise you totally *Walkman key *Sound improvement while on a call(it reduces background disturbance and raises your voice pitch and quality that's really a useful feature) *Battery life good of compared to its price *Has two LED light indicators (one in a dot and another a bar that looks cool) *Battery stamina system works *Runs on 4.4.2 os CONS *Slow internet *Hangs a bit(telling from other comments b'cause I never experienced it) *Small size(can be a pro for small handers) *Awkward button placements *Slow internet that's it..as a conclusion I would say it a good phone to buy.

  • SONY XPERIA E1 worst mobile in my life .....really hate this version....totally waste of money...ear speaker fall in few months...2 time service within 6 months after purchasing....suggest not to buy such mobile...REALLY WORST...

  • Invest few more dollars and buy something faster

  • i hate this phone is a total trash don't buy it it's slow it's total hanging even you are texting whatsapp challenging your patience camera sucks and never focus that well front cam? dual core is even worse than the galaxy s2 which is dual core and that's why its only rm299

  • LOVE your comment I have it for 6 months

  • You cleared the cache?

  • Games won't open in my phone

  • super

  • Why my play store doesnt download dream league soccer

  • The phone auto updates applications when updates are available. It can be disabled in the Play Store if I remember correctly. The apps that can't be removed are known as "system" apps and therefor cannot be removed normally (can be removed after rooting but I wouldn't recommend that if you don't know what rooting is becasue removing these system apps could cause major stability issues as they are built into the phone's opertaing system.) A comparison would be like Windows' Internet Explorer in that it's built in and can't be removed but can cause issues if it is.

  • I have a problem with my SD card, its 8G, but everytime i download something, it full. I REALY DONT UNDERSTAND. Please someone HELP!!

  • Why does this phone downloads and install apps by itself,, and when I try to uninstall them,,,it says I can't because they are built in apps

  • The Great phone sony. no hang's good stuff, good for 3MP camera and do not hang except for running games

  • Has the worst battery ever, battery life very short

  • You phone is ok I like it

  • Had the Xperia E1 for less than 10 months and I wish it was never created.

  • after the upgrade of operating system, terrible things happen. messaging app does not work. i tried to delete all the messages but the phone restarted. cant even send nor receive messages. memory is always full. on the flip side, can view hd movies up to 3 - 4 GB files, no problem with the sound quality. internet is slow, but can be managed. the phone is good for call but will try to reset the phone in order me to text. note on the buyers - do not buy this phone if your intention is for gaming.

  • Amazing phone. Perfect size for people with small hands. This is my last month with the phone before I upgrade and it's still in perfect working condition. I think the only problem is the slow internet but other than that it's brilliant.

  • Had this phone for more than a year. It's overall very impressive based on the price. Recently the touchscreen died. Not sure if this is a quality phone or not..

  • Had this phone for two years now. Still working great. Not the fastest and not the best camera but overall great value for money!

  • Please install an sd card and install an app called Es explorer to manage the apps on the phone's internal memory. Hope this helps you

  • it's superb phone. soo superb contents..

  • My phone is giving problem, it cuts the calls, don't notify me of messages, do you think it will be better after upgrading it to kit kat?

  • WatchingIis kitkit

  • lost most of my Apps,can't reload them,keeps on saying installing but doesnt get there

  • At loudspeaker test team says score " Very Good " but the table score is " Average " Which one it's true?!

  • i had this phone for less than a year and its giving problems it does not wanna go on it says all apps has stopped...what do i do...it reboot all the time and all apps is updated

  • I am sick and tired of this phone, had it for last 12 months, so slow ,slow and slow videos get frozen games get frozen very negative experience problems with wi fi

  • I've had this phone more than 1 year now.. Using this phone only to replace my broken iPod.. And so far the phone works great! The sound is good, the battery stands long enough (6 days-9 days), it fits into my pocket.. Overall I am satisfied this little phone..

  • Had this phone for over 12 months rubbish worst phone i have had very slow.

  • Lil fone is great for medium users...cool basic features n even better after updating to KitKit online

  • Sometimes this phone does not notify when a message is received. I have to go to the messaging app and check it manually. :( :(

  • Can anyone tell me how to on forward a received message?

  • after filling batrey new full charged in 3 minutes use for fuel or open the facebook already lost power batrey 2 % from 100 % especially if full of fuel or facebook 30 minutes 30-40 % batrey reduced its solutions provide master .. thank you very much

  • Probably the worst phone I have ever owned, it was good for the first month or so, but then started to go downhill. It wont allow me to answer calls, read/send messages,or turn on the phone without a lot of hassle, it"s overall very bad, and a waste of money, I've had this phone for 8 months and I am getting a new one this week because I'm so frustrated. I've resorted to using my iPod, only using my phone when I have to and using my friends phones if I can since I cannot do anything with it. Must say though I find the battery life to be quite good.

  • Can someone tell me how i turn on the mobile data in this Phone?

  • I have had this phone for about a year now, and it isn't good. When i first got it, it was really good, but after having it for a year, i can only have 2-3 apps installed, the phone wont tell me when someone texted me (I have to go onto the messaging app to see if someone texted me) and its really laggy in general. I wouldn't recommend this phone.

  • The phone is too slow even after trying to reset, its bad choise

  • Ok so the phone is a bit slow compared to,my samsung galaxy which was like a bomb . It seems to respond a bit slow anywayz it is a entry level phone but internet connection is good but cpu a bit unresponsive samsung has the advantage when it comes to,phones of the same price ... Had it for 3 and a half months now .

  • i have this Phone 4 month and No problem, the sound of music is very good, but video not good.

  • My power button the phone has some play on it would of prefered it to be more firmer has anyone else xperienced this? Kind regards John

  • not the best phone

  • JST a waste .

  • First of all it's a good phone. According to the prices it's really really economical. But the storage, camera quality,GPS those are the problems. And sometimes it gets stuck.

  • I have had the phone for a few months, no ring tone or incoming call display only missed call alert after

  • I used to have a Xperia E1, still better than any of the Samsungs. The memory is the only problem, but I have a 32SD card, it's fine. Idk y u people hate it so much.

  • the worst phone i own. Slow BAD GPS receiver

  • nope i won't

  • A bit slow at first,but awesome phone! Its a must have.

  • It should run comfortably. Might lag due to low RAM.

  • Can this run clash of clan perfect

  • good phone no hanging problem. but little bit network problem.

  • I must say, I bought this one, the Xperia e1, at 70 euros. And can do anything that I ask him to do, AND BELIEVE ME, ITS NOT EASY THINGS... The problem is the 2gb of memory... It's the only problem... Despite that, it's an awesome phone, and I can't understand why you say that this phone is a piece of s#it and you want to buy rather a f###in Xiaomi... SONY RULES! By the way, it's not slow...

  • I have using this phone from more than six months. It is few slow but does not a big matter. There are no issues about build quality or permofmance. It plays games flawlessly. According to price its a best phone for middle range user not heavy user.

  • The phone storage is awful. It keeps saying insufficient storage when I want to download something. So I restored the phone. But even after I restored it I downloaded only one thing. Which wa two MB. Then when I wanted o download another thing it said insufficient space. I don't know what I've done wrong

  • At the begining i hated this phone. i was started worrying about the phone's performance, but now after uninstalling all the google apps installed on this phones rom except play store ans play services. in developer option i ve set the animation nd transition off, now my phone works well as i expected. sony always different.

  • for the price, the best in the market..no doubt about that...if you are bit smarter you can cope with it.. you cant expect a what is called stunning from this... and if you clean cache and msc's it"ll be fine

  • how can i fix an experia e1 that is lagging?

  • Extremely slow and lousy phone...yeah cheap one, but TOO SLOW!!! Do not buy thin piece of sh@#&t, people... Battery is almost dead for the beginning. Better go for Xiaomi 1. I regret that I waste my money for it.

  • It does not support OTG, has very low RAM memory, apps open very slowly. I have only 2 apps on it that i use in the Gym. An exercise app and a timer, still very slow phone. after the app is opened works great. It is just an MP3 player with phone capabilities. Very good mp3 and video player, i use it with Bluetooth headphones. Plastic is very high quality, elastic and scratch resistant. I throw it on the floor every day and still does not have big scratches on it, did not brake, etc. Camera is very low quality. Otherwise i've been using it since January 2015.

  • Why Sony e1 support not usb otg?

  • Can this run games without any lag after kitkat update pls tell me thank you

  • without secondary camera the phone of today's appeal nothing.

  • Sony e1 support usb otg?

  • Sony e1 d2005 support usb otg?

  • Well..the gaming performance is quite fair in this phone..i even played Chaos Rings 3 on my E1 and it's fairly good..

  • Nfs no limits work on this mobile. But slightly laggy.but playable.

  • My text alert stopped working and everything turned on correctly

  • The touch started working again.

  • it wont turn on

  • phone disconnects from wifi.....that is so annoying!!!!!

  • cant turn off alarm

  • i love it,i love it,i lovr it

  • After using this phone for 14 months.today the touch of this phone seem to not work at all.what should i do about it? This is the 1st problem i got on this mobile.

  • i've own this phone for almost a year already.. it's aint that bad.. of course the internal memory, RAM and camera are kinda sucks.. its also quite laggy when using the 4.3 jellybean OS but those problem were resolved after upgrading it to 4.4.. if you guys want to use this phone for daily usage such as calling, text messaging and listening to music.. i highly recommend this phone for you.. but if you want to use it for gaming.. it isnt really suitable.. so dont complain about it being laggy when you play games.. overall its quite a good phone..

  • This is the cheapest smartphone that Sony produces, why do you even consider gaming on it? I have it for a few months, the only problem I have with the device is that it has only 4 GB of internal storage which means you can have only a bare minimum of applications and then an annoying "85% of your internal storage is full" appears.

  • Can please any one tell that weather i can connect this phone with sony smartband SWR10??

  • does anyone read this phone specs before buying it? everyone knows that 512mb RAM is not so good in gaming... /GG

  • Sony e1

  • i love this sony because i enjoy the music capabilities...but the memory sucks....to phone and listen to music fine but to use it for a gaming device...gaming device ...come on !!!....get yourself a play station!!!.....note this is called a cellphone ....you call and your receive calls.....its a low end phone ...I'm just dissappointed in this sony as the gamer guy is...hope for the best ...they must shelf this phone asap

  • After updating this slow device the following problems are happened- 1. you will get only 15-30 mb free ram 2. most of basic Internet browsers doesn't work properly such as uc browser 3. auto restart 4. games will run at slowest speed 5. after installing so many applications it gets heated within minutes of use. so think 10 times before buy

  • By buying this slow and useless device is the BIGGEST MISTAKE OF MY LIFE !!!!!!!! :( SO please listen to me if you are a gaming freak like me then don't buy this mobile. Save your hardly earned money........

  • Via update center..or using flashtool..

  • how to upgrade E1 to kitkat version? thk

  • i like this phone its so good and one of my best after iphone7

  • Any other desire for a free phone with a service plan?

  • Disable all that apps!

  • it,s not a good phone due to the fact that no user manual are supplied,continues network cover problems.been cheap don,t mean bad service.

  • Very bad phone. Small internal memory, when I got new sms sometimes i got notification an sound alert, and sometimes not. A lot of times I see new sms only when I open inbox. Messages on viber allways late. I know it is cheap phone, but for that money it's very poor. To bad for Sony, my favourite brand. After few sony phones, I think i must find new brand :/

  • i have this phone for about 3 weeks and i desire to upgrade it to kitkat. anyone please tell me how? and please let me know the advantage and disadvantage of upgrading to kitkat version. thanks

  • Good phone..for its class and price. I updated it to 4.4.2 and almost no lag.

  • Sony xperia e1 is a better smart phone and great worked but planed upgrade kitket 4.4.2 nice.....

  • Does surport whatsapp and viber in sony xpria E1

  • Good phone for its price.. IT YOU BRAINWASH IT !!! Seriously, sony have added a lot of useless apps who makes the phone slooooww. after deleting all that useless apps, it's a good phone but don't expect an Xperia Z series.. This phone DO NOT support bluetooth HID device, so if you want to connect a bluetooth keyboard or a mouse, choose another phone.However it supports a lot of other bluetooth options, like file transfert, bluetooth handset, etc...

  • I bought this phone on decembre and it's quite good. I got one single problem with it, but because of me. I couldn't use it for 2 month because it got bugs... The only bad thing i can found abot it is that it doesn't have a secondary camera. Good phone!

  • please help me to connect my phone into internet i have it in my home..im using sony experia e1..thank u in advance..

  • the phone has some great picture and music quality compared to other brands. It's also durable. It just lags a lot and then restarts. It has only 2GB of internal memory. When you install an app, it takes out on the internal memory. External memory will only be for pictures and videos, nothing else. It just seemed that the amount of internal memory is only for your built-in apps. Can't install apps as much as I wanted to. Memory too small.

  • I bought my Xperia E1 in Nov 2014 and I have to admit that I've encountered quite some trouble with it. It freezes a lot, had a problem with the earpiece, now the headset jack is troublesome because whether I play the radio or mp3, the sound output in my headphones comes out distorted. I don't recommend this model to anybody. Whoever decides otherwise has been warned.

  • I bought this phone half year ago. So far all features are working on it well. It has small memory and lags when I quit a bigger application, but that's only for few moment. It doesn't have flash aswell. Good phone for the price.

  • Very good battery life, no bugs, no lags, nice screen, bad camera, cheap plastics, overall: good phone for that money

  • Really slow bad phone that is why I buy another phone...

  • its a good phone but the problem of slowness and unresponsive touch. wy is that so

  • wow i have been using sony e1 for 11 months. still no problems .i am puzzled why everyone has a problem i don't? the phone doesn't even lag.

  • Much better than this comments..Its little slow but overall not a bad phone.

  • its a kind of bad phone which I have used

  • This is the single worst phone I have ever owned and my first mobile phone was made by Bosch. It is of zero use at all times and even simply making a phone call is too much for it to handle. Avoid it AT ALL COSTS.

  • I going to buy this phone on Monday. I hope do not regret it based on the comments I have just read.

  • ash guyz tht phone;nyc easy to carry but whn it comes to social network its boring really bt its a nyc phone.

  • This phone is a total crap.lags all the time even when makes a call.first 2 or 3months it worked great.after that it turn off by itself.i dont complain about performance and hardware.but this phone is not durable.i have used sony live with walkman before and it was a great phone although it is old and outdated.

  • tryin to download facebook on my e1 and it says incompatible update,any help pls

  • I've had the e1 for over 3 montgs and love it. I only hsve to chatge the phone 1 to 2 times a week. Camera is not the best but otherwise happy with the phone.

  • I am ardent fan of Sony - my current and olf TV, digital camera are all of Sony make. I bought this Xperia E1 about a year back. And this product embarasses me in public. I use only simple apps - taxi book, email and Facebook (occassionally). The problem is suddenly music starts to get played. It is actually very embarassing in public/office when some loud music comes from your phone. Felt very bad about this. The worst part is Walkman could not be un-installed. So now I have no songs/media files in my phone :(

  • Hi There, You can do a factory reset by using CWM for your phone type, just google it how to install and how to use it. Please remember that once you reset your phone it will go back to factory settings and you'll loose your personal data.

  • hi guys what is the difference between 4.3 jellybean vs 4.4 kitkat. in Xperia e1 single. sim. please. reply me

  • hi guys does the e1 experia come in different internal memory cause the one that l have have got 2 gig internal memory

  • good afternoon everybody,,,i really need some help i have a sony xperia D2005,OK THE PROBLEM IS i put a code patron and i forget the code so i would love to what can i do to cance the code or to reset it,i really tired whit it,,

  • I have been using e1 for 9 months still no battery life problem.i get 2 days battery life in normal usage.can you internet for 5 hours with 100%. There should be some fault on your mobile.

  • Actually Samsung is inferior.all Samsung such as j1,s duos 3,core 2 are inferior to Sony e1.

  • You need to recalibrate the battery probably.

  • I love the E1 I had it a few months now and it's great the battery is great the sound is amazing 100 decibels and the keyboard us great the camera is awesome and the Walkman button is great and the apps are all great it's amazing you should buy it because it's the best phone for your budget

  • I have been using this phone for last 10 days the phone is good but now this time my phone creating a problem like battery some time shown 94% within a minute shown 64% then come 89% what's a problem in my phone guys

  • what about the games are the sharp in 3d or hd

  • Worst phone slow freezes battery capacity bad sensitive ANY Samsung superior

  • thanks for suggestion..

  • Yes ofcoures

  • This phone is crappppp! It frequently freezes and when ever you charge it up it looses it again in a second. Piece of dog crap also has a shocking camera and when you turn it on and off it takes a bloody age, how can you give a good rating next time I am buying an iPhone 4s way better and doesn't freeze all the bloody times It is a waste of good breth and metal

  • Thanks friend for helping us

  • it should be original, usually some space is needed for the operating system

  • U guys are stupid phone is great camera 8/10 music(speakers) 10/10 gasmes 8/10 storage maybe low but for cheap phone that is good because with that gpu and gpu wtf u want u can run hd games. but e1 with root he is like rocket so dont shit to much

  • experia e1 crap.. battery life does not last, have the phone for 5 months and its been giving me problems since the 3rd week, phone switches off and on on its own, but the battery is the ultimate, charge it off for a full 7 8 hours, yet, when switched on the 100 % only lasts 6 hours, have battery apps downloaded but doesnt help and now is not charging the battery at all.

  • Hi friends please reply. Me can I get duplicate phone bcz it is show total space 2gb nd available 1.5gb it is original phone or not

  • Is it waterproof and dustproof?

  • nice one

  • I have a question. Cant i use skype? If theres no front cam, the other party can't see me. Im finding hard to see my face.:((

  • yes

  • can i install bbm on this fone if i buy it

  • Perfect phone..Super speed, and sensitivity is high..The LED lighting feature is very handsome..Little heat in longer use...

  • I think it is a great phone, but how can i root it? I run android 4.4.2 kitkat, model d2005.

  • towelroot

  • i want to purchase E1 because i like xperia e1.

  • This phone is an excellent phone. I've been using for 9 months still no major problems.battery life is 2days and minor lags only. I recommend this phone over all Samsung phones till core prime. Because this phone has better performance than galaxy core 2,s duous 3 ,galaxy j1. People really don't know this. Even can play asphalt 8 without lags. I don't think new e4 is an upgrade interms of gpu performance. E1 gpu adreno 305 destroys Mali mp2 easily.

  • how to root this phone?

  • Yes you can,was you root this device.and you using aplication link2sd.sofar my xperia have free storage up to 700MB,and you can up the performa using grenify and Overclock CPU :).Ram free in my phone is up to 100MB thats amazing,Im like using Iphone,hhaha

  • I'm using this phone for almost 8 months now, and in the last few months it started to show some malfunctions. The one that's most annoying is that everytime I shut the phone off, the icons on the primary screen (the ones that I downloaded, not the factory included ones) are appearing missing. I am suppoused to create shortcut for them every single time, when i turn on my phone. Does any of you encoutered this problem, and do you have a suggestion on how to fix it? thank you in advance :)

  • An absolute piece of crap . Frequent screen freezes , unintentional calls to message garbage automatic downloads you can't stop . Run away this phone is garbage

  • Yes, you can use it for skype, it works but I dont know about Viber 'cause I don't use it.

  • You can enhance with x'loud in setting E1 mean Entertainment Call. sound and music quality is rich and privacy Don't troll babe

  • You can check it out in sony xperia Care app! For awsome battery life. You should buy xperia M2 or e3 or z2 or coming xperia M4 AQUA which are IPS display tech

  • Does the back camera support for skype or viber video calls?

  • Please make a new update, I want to change my fonts.

  • Hi I find if not wanting to use the internet I turn mobile data off then return it on when I need to get online.

  • Help good people, I just bought this phone and it's taking (consuming) all my airtime and data bundles, I don't knoow what to do now. If it's some kinda setting could somebody please explain it to me. You can even email me, [email protected]

  • ringtone very slow

  • To anyone who wants to remove their lockscreen or just get back to swipe, set your lockscreen to pattern and lock your phone, when you go to unlock it enter it incorrectly 5 times and the forgot option will appear, press forgot and sign in to your Google acct and you'll be taken to the security settings. None and Swipe will still be greyed out but just press back and it'll automatically set it as swipe, job done.

  • Reset your phone setting,

  • Guys i have set a pattern on my sony xperia e1 and now i can't change back to swipe unlocking how can i change it it says that i should go i administrator,trusted cerdanils or in... Pls replay as fast as u can i need to change it

  • Does it support MicroSD HC memory card?

  • can anyone tell me how to save and print sms messages please

  • It does have 4gb of storage, the system memory takes up half of that though. This is typical of most mid-range smartphones, not false advertising.

  • good going with this phone, its about 6 months with this phone nd dear i m xtrmly satisfied with the performance

  • Yeah, the 512 MB of RAM us just embarrasing. Thank you very much for your reply.

  • How do I get screen size photos please

  • Yes, performance improves on Kitkat upgrade. But I don't like it's RAM (only 512MB)... lol

  • y is it that when i put my wi-fi of it keeps switching back on?

  • Yeah I know that but I am asking about the performances of this phone with those two android versions. Is ot better with Jelly Bean or with KitKat (is it smoother, faster etc. with KitKat) ?

  • ...

  • Yes this phone gets the upgrade to 4.4.2

  • Hey fuys! Can someone tell me how does this phone work on Android 4.4.2 Kitkat? I'm going to get this one and I am planning to upgrade it so I want to know how it works. (I can't decide should I upgrade it or just leave it on 4.3 Jelly Bean). Please give me an advice! :)

  • who want to buy sony mobile they can better prefer for sony xperia e3 or xperia ultra or other1 is micromax canvas fun it was great wch was launched 2013..xperia e1 is nt a gud choice

  • Thank you very much for your details

  • you right, I had the same problem it feel like I had been false advertise

  • if you have a data package try downloading internet settings ie: settings/ xperia / download settings internet/mms

  • i bought one but it cant connect to Mobile internet

  • Thank you Sony, if you only added more RAM to the E1 it would have been top notch but alas you butchered it...

  • How do i pair my USB device with other phones I've been struggling?

  • How do i pair my USB device with other phones I've been struggling?

  • could we play hayday on Sony Xperia E1

  • I have used E1 for the last 6 months; there were several problems I encountered:bad touch screen, lag whatever I do, freezing when surfing internet, quite often I get sms warnings 5-10 minutes later, missed the sony logo only after one month. Even if it is cheap you get quite bad quality for money

  • i just bought this hp and i like about them is ,it had great sound and when we watch video or youtube eventhough we close the casin ,it still keep playing not like other hp. so it very enjoyable because we can still hear the sound

  • Does it has a BIS?

  • I am using sony xperia e1 from last 4-5 months and having very good experiance with it. the most important is in the lowest price I got free sony MDR headphons worth Rs1300 and the quality of headphons are just awesome.Phone has one touch music. I have upgraded to kitkat which also works perfect.camera quality is good.only the thing is you must install limited apps as it having limited ram 512mb otherwise phone will get hang. overall phone is awesome at lowest price.

  • can you install viber and skype in this phone sony xperia e1

  • I have a new phone and for what I am using it is good so far. Only thing I don`t like is that I can`t see the time when message is delivered only that small thick that is delivered. That is pretty important for me. Do you know are there any apps or programs for that phone to fix my problem ?? Thank you

  • yes you can install bbm

  • Miss phone

  • all i can say after less than 1 months use....bad walkman sound, battery easily drains, always sticks etc etc...it is indeed a budget phone of sony...disappointed better asus zenfone5 lite ay almost the same price level!...going to sell/swap this phone!!!!

  • Can you download BBM on this phone?

  • no..as you can see without root the mobile itself tends to be very slow can't play hd games without root. the are many tweaks to follow to play hd games or just to make the phone super smooth.

  • can we play games without rooting the device?

  • Hi guys, believe it or not.i hv played nfs most wanted, batman dark knight rises,modern combat 3 and hitman go without any lag.i know you all are thinking i might be fooling or i played with lags.but believe me,without any lag.even i also didnt believe that i can play all these heavy games. So the secret is....i rooted my phone. Then installes link2ss to move installation files to sd card, and also as the internal memory is low i used folder mount to fool the mobile to think sd card as internal storage to play games having huge data folder. But without root you can't do anything. Also i freezed mant apps which continuously runs in background. Though it haa 512 mb ram ,with some tweak we can easily make the phone superfast. You can check it has a good adreno 302 graphics and sanpdragon chipset. So for all instrunctions or video tutorial just email me [email protected]

  • Yeah, turn ur phone where the back camera is, put a mirror infront of it and there ya go

  • factory reset it...i did it !

  • factory reset it...i did it !

  • the sound quality of my asus zenfone5 lite is much better than xperia e1 as i have both of them compared their sound...its walkman is not that good

  • i thought i am the only one facing this problem...really cant install facebook on the new upgrade....so the resort i thought is factory reset it...and there u go facebook is back...really stupid update! just upgrade ur walkman.

  • ...only if you upgrade ur phone to kitkat version....but my facebook acct was lost and cant install it from playstore

  • How can I Aaps and games moved phone memory to Sd card pls suggest me frnds

  • can I do selfies with the phone?

  • HD recording..?

  • just bought this phone today...and i immediately got notice that its got an upgrade from jelly bean to kitkat version....and viola my xperia e1 is now kitkat....one thing i noticed its display loooks more good now...downloaded apps(games, antutu, webster etc) can now be transferred from internal storage to sd card! great upgrade...still trying to feel my sony xperia e1 and with drop price now of 5,500php...

  • i just bought a sony xperia e1 today...received an upgrade of kitkat and its walkman(now more clearer, deeper booster and enhanced sound)...now lets see what kitkat can do to this toy-like phone...i think its one of the best android on this price category(php 5,000-6,000)second only to asus zenfone 5 lite(which i also owned).

  • hahaha .... i think you can play it all, time to loadiing games was 1 week

  • Is a good phone but it is slow sometime, and the keyboard is slow to respond, you should have added a a flash light, any way well done Sony

  • Does We can play games like modern combat4, asphalt 8, iorn man 3 & other good games ?????? with no any lags?????

  • Yes, it uses slim SIM card if that's what you are asking

  • Bought this phone and love it! It might be a bit slow sometimes and the screen could have been slightly larger but for the money (£50) its a bargain. Recommend if you want a functional smartphone, without overspending for the brand.

  • no it is slightly larger than other lowend mobiles.but it is an excellent mobile

  • is this phone ultra slim?

  • I'm going to buy this phone because of it's style,features,quality,design and it's low price.I hope that it works perfectly for me and god willing,it does!

  • Sony xperia e1 is an excellent mobile . 1.It could play even high end games like asphalt 8. 2.It fell from my hand couple of times so far nothing happened. 3.The camera looks better than 5mp Samsung most of the time.i am puzzled 4.screen quality is good.and maybe excellent due sonys interface 5.512mb ram is no problem.actually sony e1 functions faster than xperia m,L. 6.i love the design it looks great.hope sony produced the same mobile which is 2mm thinner and 4.3 inch screen. 7.call quality is good. Cons. 1.12mm thick.slightly thick. 2.minor software bugs.which can be fixed. 3.sometimes call quality is bad when outdoors.maybe switching off active noise cancellation might help. 4.hope it had led flash. This is a great mobile. I really recommend this Mobile over variety of lowend mobiles by samsung,htc This phone is better than samsung s duous 3,Nokia lumia 530,nokia x. If you can spend extra moto e would be much better.

  • You can solve the problem of no Facebook. Factory reset your mobile

  • gentlemen, I'm going to buy the sony experia E1, that is a good cell phone, please someone can tell me??????????????????????????

  • Same here, a lot of bugs and software problems, even with the latest updates.

  • Stupid update! Why cant i download facebook on play store?.it says incompatible update always when i try to download it.Is anybody there can help me? Thanks for your help.

  • So, i bought this phone not long ago and i don't regret it at all. It's cheap and amazingly hard to break it. I recommend it for people who drop phones accidently in water or on hard floor. Well, i didn't dropped my phone accidently on the tiles, as a matter of fact in the middle of the argument with my girlfriend about me playing games on my new mobile phone, i tried to brake it by throwing it on the floor with all the strenght i had in me - it survived the impact, not a scratch... everything worked fine except the external speaker, it sounded as broken. Few days ago filled my bath with hot water (was preparing for a bath) and accidently my phone slipped into the bathtub full of water :D i removed the battery, dried it with a hair dryer for 15 minutes, insterted the battery, swithched my "dust free, brand new looking" phone on - everything works perfectly including the external speaker which sounded before as broken :D so i have it as new since and don't regret a bit i bought it instead of iPhone 5 (i have doubts iPhone would have survived the same as my Sony Xperia E1) :)

  • . .is the sound quality of this phone using headset good?

  • well, I am planning to buy this phone, I like the mark and the model, please someone can give an opinion.

  • a comment and a question. its a nice phone from sony, but no flash and front camera. Can this phone perform a photoshot ?

  • This phone is having a smart performance.it supports many a good games.decent camera but in zoom mode not so.nice music system,good battery life.the only thing which disheartens me is its Ram.naturally it shall become slow if do multitasks.overall it is indeed a good buy.

  • I have this phone .. the phone is great i like the software of this.. great options from sony .. i love walkman music .. the internet options is great .. only thing who is a little bad is his cammera, the phone is bad on night capicture .. everything other is very very well packed in one thing ..

  • nice phone, but no front camera, & no flash, & low device memory 2gb. I purchased this phone about 3month....

  • Well, I got him one and he enjoyed it so far. I upgraded the phone to Kitkat and it works really well.

  • My wife and I have had these phones for approx. 6 months. All OK, we just use them as phones - voice & text. All OK, we do like them but have now started to experience voice calls drop out after a few seconds (on mine. Did not matter where I was or where the call originated, wifi is on. Returned to O2 shop, first of all they said there would be a charge - straightened them out on warranty issues, so they have sent it away to Sony. Now my wife has started to experience the same thing. One of the assistants in O2 shop said there have been previous incidents like this. Has anyone else experienced this?

  • its a good phone, powerful on performance not much to expect from camera and screen durability, cause it what u get from what u pay whoever sony cameras are way btter than any brand.. it a great phone for new android users

  • Earphone problem doesn't solved 4 times given to service station. Don't buy sony phones due service is very bad

  • Can we make video cal through skype in this mobile? Need your reply soon. Thanks

  • I would not get this phone again, because they don't give directions on how to use anything, which makes it very difficult, plus it does not hold battery life for long.

  • Lumia 530

  • This is a inexpensive SONY phone do not expect to perform as a Z3.keep it simple and it will do the job.

  • I bought soni xperia e1 6 month ago but no I m facing battery problem like it Battery discharge very quickly some times it shows 80% battery then 46% then after 2 min 55% what the hell

  • Ashok, buy a micro SD card (up to 32 GB) and put it in your phone. You can store photos, videos and music on the card (not sure about apps--don't think so). You've got a 4 GB phone. The Android operating system uses 2 GB which means you've got 2 GB for your own use. If you need to install lots of apps, consider selling your phone and buying something with more space (like the Moto G). But, obviously, more space = more expensive.

  • jeez.. i'm reading some of the questions posted and some of the questions i find it stupid. the phone has 4gb internal memory and i read a lot of whining that it's not so now i got a question.. where do you think the jealy bean os file is stored? hmm? any ideas? it rakes upto 2gb for that os file alone so do the math. and about the phone heating up, it's pretty natural, most probably some of you guys are using it for games and some of you are installing high end games w/c needs high end specs and this phone is just at middle class lvl, ram won't even suffice that's why phone crashes and restarts. think about what your phone has before you start blurting out nonesense. read the manual and proper way of using your phone. for gamers out there, might as well buy a console or a high end phone coz this phone is not suited for you user types

  • yes

  • I buyed 4 month ago Retailer told internal memory is 4 GB,in Net internal memory also show 4 GB internal memory but in my phone there is only 2 GB internal memory how can this problem solv?

  • So why are you asking US this for?

  • this phone has many drawbacks, 1)It restarts very often, 2)Call does not get disconnected easily, 3)Touch is so sensitive, that while answering the call, the call rejects option gets poped up, and if by mistake, any option is selected in it, it sends an automatic sms to the caller, and this is very annoying, and there is no setting to remove this option, 3)camera clarity is also not good. 3 of out cousins have bought the same phone, and all of us struggling with the same issue, my sincere advise is, guys please dont buy sony xperia phones, coz many people are faceing many other issues with this fone, like heating of the fone aswell

  • That awkward moment when you are correcting someone & you also make a mistake. Snob! (-_-)

  • How to set What'up and face book in this phone??? How to shut down running applications???

  • No, this phone has no front camera. And yes, you can access Facebook with it.

  • now it just restarts by itself...

  • Special need

  • is there a front camera this phone? and can you access facebook and such on this phone?

  • My phone restart automatically. Plz ans me guys. I also set stamina mode.

  • I bought the phone in September, October it asked for update using my computer, I have been doing this for the past 3 weeks, no success, now its chows my airtime like nobody's business. not happy at all with this handset,

  • my network randomly switches itself off at times is any1 else experiencin dis prob...and who cn solv it?

  • Tell me about what are the process of upgrade my phone with kitkat

  • is that support otg?

  • i love this phone , and this phone loves me too

  • i bought my phone in may month and im still happy with my phone ,,sound is too loud even if you listing the song,first i have the problem of a battery that was going quit but i play around with my phone and i take off all my application besides the data usage.

  • so...it's not better in every aspect then lol

  • i bought a sony experia E1 in May this year and it worked wonders but now i am having a problem with its battery it doesnt want to charge. I went to vodacom outlets to ask if they are having batteries for this phone, the answer I got is no. I want to know where can I get the battery for the phone

  • How about the sound in sony Experia E1

  • Sony e1 is better than samsung core 2 in every aspect. Of course core 2 is 4.5 inch and not chubby. Core 2 has only one sensor while sony e1 has many sensors. Anutu benchmark for sony e1 is also higher. I get 13000+

  • no such call quality problem for me. have you turned on active noice cancellation and clear audio +.

  • Maybe it's because of low signal so inteferences is the cause of that disorted voices on the other side of the line.

  • Voice Quality is so bad. On our side of the line, voices in the earpiece sound loud enough and clear, in their natural tonality. On the other end, however, our callers report hearing very distorted voices so that often times it�s hard to discern what the caller says. This is especially true if the person on the other end of the line has volume up to the maximum. Luckily, when you tone down volume a few levels, you can get rid of most of the distortions, and while clarity is not perfect, at those quieter volume levels, you can at least understand what the person says. Side noise seems to get filtered slightly, and while it�s audible, it does not get in the way of conversation.

  • Same thing happened to me what did you do about it??

  • only sim slot diffrence between e1 and e1 dual and nothing.

  • That depends on what do you need single sim or dual sim phone?So you have to findout ffor yourself.Based on your needs.

  • which is better e1 or e1 dual and how is battery backup.

  • Tried once and Sony PC Companion keep returning me back Android 4.4.2 Kitkat instead of Android 4.3 JB.Is there any other way to reinstall back good old Android 4.3 JB?

  • Try with Sony PC Companion to repair the firmware

  • Does anybody knows to tell me how to downgrade it from the Android 4.4.2 to the stable Android 4.3 JellyBean?I have two problems with this model since I have update it to the Android 4.4.2 one is battery is very quickly discharging even when it is pluged to the charger and second and most critical is the Dual Core CPU second CPU every time when I restart it is constantly inactive disabled and I have more and more difficulties to activate it.Please halp me to solve thouse problems with CPU Cores and battery.

  • No but good video quality according to price

  • Hi guys i have bought the phone, I like it very much thanks for everyone who helped me There is an problem that the phone backup is not good, Even with data and wifi switched off, the battery shows 46% from 100% within 8hrs with no usage, Other time it is even worst for every 10 minutes it dropping 2 points I bought the mobile from Flipkart

  • Does Sony Xperia E1 D2005 can work and read and write with Micro SDXC memory cards?

  • Don't download VLC Media Player because it's very buggy you better go to the MX Player.MXlazer is the best video plazer for Android.

  • Yes u can download vlc on google store

  • Is someone else except me have oh his own Sony Xperia E1 D2005 after update to the Stock Kitkat have 406 MB free RAM and taken only 8 MB of 423 MB RAM.I have.

  • Thanks, Please tell me does this phone support all video formate

  • No it doesn't

  • Not all apps can be moved only few ones. Most of the games can be moved but also note that even though you move apps to your SD card your internal storage still consumes some of its storage space for that app.

  • I have purchased this phone months ago and what I can really say about this phone is though it is not a very great phone it is ok for this small price. I can't find any other phone with all these features at a such a low price. Positive things about this phone 1. Great Display: Though under sunlight you cannot see anything clearly the display is awesome indoors. The screen size is simply big and all photos, videos and other graphics are clearly visible even from the sides. 2. Great sound: The sound is loud and clear and you can really feel the music at your heart. I can't believe that you can even get headphones FREE with it. 3. Great User interface: if you are new to this phone you may have difficulties during your initial use but later you automatically get used to it. It has got a querty keyboard which is very easy to type when you auto-rotate the screen. 3. Very good Web browsing experience You can download firefox and get full length webpages in seconds. Reading online contents is also great. You can also play YouTube videos and download them using tubemate application. You can also very easily connect this phone to your computer without any CD because the software to be installed on your pc is pre stored in your phone. By just enabling the USB tethering option in your phone and selecting install software on your phone you can easily surf Internet on your computer using 3G by just enabling the LAN icon on your computer which gets created in your network connections windows. 4. Battery: Right now my battery gives me a very good backup even with music, videos etc but if you use the Internet for long the battery seems to drain by 2 or 3 percent slowly which is not a big problem as you can still browse the Internet for even more then two hours with a fully charged battery. 5. Sensitive touch: Touch is not a problem at all. Ways better than my old Samsung phone. 6. Speed: Doesn't seem to be too slow even though it's RAM is just 512mb. Speed is not a big problem. 7. Everything is possible like downloading and installing "adobe reader" to view pdf files. To view ms word, excel, ppt files you can download an application named "docs to go". Internet settings can easily be installed and configured. 8. This phone never hangs after an upgrade to Android 4.4.2 Other outstanding features: Auto-brightness, 2GB internal storage for games and applications, identifying any songs name by simply recording using track ID application. 3MP camera, high speed 3G, GPS. Negative sides: Many a times incoming calls are auto-rejected with message because of pocket frictions but you don't have to worry you just need to install an app called as "Tiny call confirm" which will lock your phone during an incoming call and hopefully you can unlock it and drag the slider right to receive the call. Minor speed problems: If you want to auto rotate your screen there is a delay of around 2-3 seconds. A delay of 3-4 seconds while making a phone call from home screen shortcut.

  • Yes, apps can be moved to the SD card on the KitKat update

  • very cheap

  • Can apps be moved to SD card after KiKkat Update Please some one please confirm

  • the slowest phone in the world

  • No.

  • Do this step work??i upgraded my android to 4.4.2...but the facebook application doesn't get install...

  • I connected the phone to recharge the battery and when the battery was loaded (green light on) nothing happened no connection no signs on the phone it looked like if everything from the programming of the phone was gone! i even don't have any contacts any more on my sim card. it's horrible and will never never again buy Sonny. the phone is 2 months old and i have to wait 3 weeks before i get my phone back from Sonny!

  • Can anyone in these comments actually speak enlgish?

  • Quality camera indeed, quality sound but the headset volume is very low, it must be upgraded

  • does the phone have a front camera?

  • Great phone everything will be working to this device...Facebook work...battery performance better than jellybeans 4.3

  • got this phone 3 days ago and I'm quite happy with it. Really nice phone for this price range.... but RAM is 512 MB, camera is 3 MP only. what do you expect in this price range? :-) I'm happy because I 'm a music lover and it suits me, sound quality is awesome :-)

  • Yes it's ear phones sounds is low but clear bass is superb I think it has to upgrade

  • It's a good smartphone at its price. It can be rooted and done many things. MORE over there is no FACEBOOK application PROBLEM of USAGE OR INSTALLATION. You can even play GTA 3, GTA VICE CITY, REAL STEEL, ASPHALT 7, ETC., It's my suggestion to circle. Its ram is low thats it.................

  • Sony xpeeria E1 music volume is high but only the music put also can hear the people sing and hear drums very perfectly.

  • Sony Xperia E1 is a good phone but upgrade it to the newest software and uses less ram and you can play higher qality games and battry also holds long.when you put the phone on it going to take long but it is good and I would do it and also the software also upgrades the camera so you will have a better taking pictures or videos.

  • WP OS is verrrry bad. i had L520 before X-E1 just like you. The phone was good itself but the windowsPhone OS... a rubbish!

  • it's like Xperia S many Xperia's phone have this problem with ear speaker during call. Sony engineers are better hearing than us :))

  • Avoid 4.4.2 update as battery is bad on this update - even the same on Xperia Z with 4.4.2! Moto E is a better choice than this better camera, better battery, bigger screen with higher resolution and not washed out like Xperia E1! All E1 is - is a glorified Xperia Tipo! 512mb ram just doesn't cut it. Moto E has same chipset and graphics with 1gb ram and it's cheaper and better built than this. Also moto e is very likely to get Android L. Sony will leave you with buggy 4.4.2 update!

  • in this phone facebook run or not .im ready to buy it .reply fast

  • my handset sound is very low. what is the problem. new mobile, ring tone sound is ok , but speaking time hearing sound is very low, how can improve the souund

  • Facebook cannot be installed in Xperia E1 after updated to 4.4

  • Facebook cannot install, lots of bugs after upgrading Xperia E1 4.3 - 4.4, have you ever tried to Reset the factory setting of your E1?, resetting you phone's factory after an upgrade is the best way to clean the bugs. Method for fixing bugs and facebook problem for Xperia E1: Backup you phones' s Data, Files and Application via Built in Back up & restore application> go to settings>Backup & reset> (click) Factor data reset> (check) Erase Internal (optional)> and Click [Reset phone] wait... a moment and your phone will restart, after the phone starts again.. you will see the Facebook application, fresh and Clean E1 without any bugs. try it..

  • How is the music experience do the phone have illumination light

  • its good for an average user.. dont install the apps like clean master.. it only do harm after 2 months i dont face any probls..

  • if you change the os in kitkat it means that you can play more games but what is tge best phone sony xperia e1 or gionee p3 thanks

  • hey guys can play minecraft pe in this phone without being root this phone and transfer it into sd card pls. reply in my comment thank you.

  • hey can you download hardcore games in this and can transfer games to sd card i'm planning to buy this phone thanks.

  • It is a great phone for the price. I get antutu benchmark of 13330 geek bench 3 of 300 all Better than galaxy core2,s duous 2,sony m and l,and near to galaxy core lte.i agree that after kitlat update performance was enhanced.but battery life suxs now.only about 3 hours of Internet browsing. Used to be better in jellybean.

  • There is software update for this phone it's 4.4.2 I have it and it's great, please fix the specification :)

  • This thing is really s l o w...... Even after all the updates, im seriously thinking about going back to Nokia Lumia 520.....

  • so do i i really love it it looks cool and really isnt a very espensive phone besides my moms buying it for me so im really looking forward to getting it

  • hi.after i update kitkat 4.4.2 on my sony e1 dual mobile.it gets slow and my battery capacity also reduce.so,how can i uninstall the update.is there any ways to uninstall.

  • good phone, when i was purchased it was cameup with 4.3 jelly bean,now it was upgraded tp kitkat 4.4.2 battery backup is quite bad than compare to 4.3 jb,and facebook not supporting. and remaining is good

  • Yes you can buy it. Its a nice phone for daily basic use like messaging, Internet browsing, music listening, but this is not good for gaming. The restart problem has been fixed after kitkat update 4.4.2 though if you can wait then also look at the xperia e3 which is hitting the market in few weeks

  • Yes it works

  • I would say get the phone for your granddaughter.. I've had it for a month now, and I'm quite happy with it. Although for me it's just a stand in phone. My Nokia Lumia stopped working so I got this phone until I can afford something better... but there are 2 problems that I've been having with the E1. 1. After downloading a few apps, I notice that the phone lags a bit. 2. Sometimes the phone restarts itself. It's a great little phone for a first time Android user, and if your granddaughter is forgiving, then she won't mind those 2 problems I mentioned.

  • My granddaughter wants a smartphone for her birthday and this phone is not very expensive. i can afford it. Is it worth it? she is off to boarding school next year so we don't want hassles

  • From day one Xperia E1 single sim is giving problems. The voice is shrill and you can't recognize who is speaking. Camera auto focus doesn't work. The phone can start automatically and play music. The phone switches off erratically. Service centre people egoistic. They say leave phone for 15 days and then come. But if you don't leave, we will not get the parts needed to repair it. Customer care says it is the Sony policy. In the past, Lenovo first changed the phone with new and later refunded money and Samsung repaired it without leaving the phone for weeks. Now you know why Sony is loosing market.

  • guys,does gps works in xperia e1 after kitkat update

  • LOL!!!Epic Question Ever!!

  • just a quick question, does blackberry messenger work on this phone?

  • This phone is good when we update to kit kat os frndz.....

  • It's just the nickname for a version of Android OS.

  • i dont understand what does kit kat means , i read this word in many comments

  • i had just bought one form minchen , i don t know how to adjust it to work in cairo, is it good or i wasted my money in a complicated cell phone, and not that much good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • This phone is good or not?I really want to buy it.

  • please i will like to know honestly from those using this phone if is able to contain 2 to 3 apps at the same time meaning does it have large internal memory and if the sound system and video is as good as they say it is and if possible can u take a selfie with it and if the battery is long lasting and no complications like other android phones

  • New update confirmed at ptcrb for xperia e1 android kitkat 4.4.4

  • After KitKat update the phone runs crear!!! Not lag at all and no restarts, seems raster than 4.3 vversion.

  • osm

  • i love this phone but it's complecating

  • I found a way to get fb app working on kitkat. 1.I uninstalled fb app first on jellybean 2.then updated to kitkat 3.I factory reset my phone(remember all apps and personal data would be removed) 4.fb app was there after reset This worked for me I updated to kitkat wanting to end phone heating while on 3g.i dont know whether others have this.my problem was not solved but kitkat is a gud update really stable.i did have phone restarts on kitkat too But actually kitkat update is worth.

  • the xamera of this phn is not so much good, donot have auto focus

  • The phone work very well for him price. After android 4.4 update the phone doesnt restart.

  • Everything is fine in kitkat update!! but we cannot move apps to sd more than 2gb!!...eventhough if ua sdcard is having capcity of 8/32/64/128gb!and 512mb ram isn't enough!!

  • after upgrading 2 kitkat can it support move 2 sd? coz sony says they enable this app in kitkat.plz ans? coz i really want 2 buy this phn.

  • there is no such problems...u can update to kit kat...mine is now kit kat

  • i bought this phone before 3 months it is ver still working very good and fast

  • If it had all of it, it would be at least twice as expensive.

  • plz dont waste your money..i am using this one & it's a most third class phone..restart automatically,power key not work properly,sound is not good, ram only 512mb so it's hang sometime.

  • how can i solve the issue of fb being deleted on kitkat and unable to be reinstalled.

  • This phone is so cute. But the main disadvantages are 1. The body must be thinner. 2. Ram must be 1 gb. 3. The memory must be at least 16 gb. 4. The screen must be better. 5. The body may be metal..

  • This phone is has kitkat version so apps like Facebook and Whatsapp are already pre-installed. As of the airtime problem.. I've never encountered that problem. Just make sure you turn off mobile data to prevent unwanted airtime reduction, or just purchase bundled data.

  • Hi everyone I am planning on buying this Sony xperia E1 next week now i will like to know if there are any difficulties that i will come across...is it easy to download whatsapp and facebook,is my airtime wont be finished without doing anything because most of the people who are using touch screen phone are having that same poblem ...plz helpppp

  • Great little phone.. the problem I have with it, is that it lags after I've installed some apps.

  • when upgrade to android 4.42(kitkat) facebook cant be updated

  • Hi frnds,please help me, if we install kitkat 4.4 then can effect to internal memory?,because this phone has less memory can we lost some internal memory. Please suggest me frnds asap.

  • Best phone in this range! :-D Just bought it through snapdeal and update it to android 4.4.2 and its working marvellously very smooth and fast! Its camera is just a little bit bad but what you can ask in such a price range. B-). So guys who are looking forward to buy this phone go for it. :-)

  • Just plug the phone into your computer.. you should get an update for KitKat... I didn't even know KitKat was available for this phone.

  • i use this phone about 1 month, amazing phone.. beautiful design... great perform esspecially when i was upgrade it to kitkat... great.... never find a problm anymore..love this,...

  • Ok so it's been almost 2 months since I got my E1 and I'm pretty happy with it. JB had this random reboots and it was annoying. Now KK really fixes the issue and reboots are gone (99% gone). Performance is smooth and for the price its not half bad. Mine came with bloatware from my carrier but thanks to xperiablog and XDA I was able to install a debranded UK version of KK update and its great. I might stick with this phone for a while, until the next Moto E (Moto E+1 ??) comes out (if the price is right).

  • Nothing to do but wait until a patch gets released, its a bug from Sony. Some guy in a forum told me there is a new patch rolling out on "Sony PC Companion" app that fixes this issue but I'm not sure about that.

  • Learn to use your phone. Disable Mobile Data but you wont get any update from any app (no whatsapp, no facebook, etc) unless you are connected to a WiFi AP (with internet access). If you can't afford to be not connected on the street then get a data plan from your phone carrier and enable Mobile Data. PD: You can also install AutoSync from play store, it allows you to auto-disable sync when not connected to WiFi.

  • You can search on XDA forums, there is a thread about this phone and how to upgrade it. You'll need a couple of tools and be caution when doing it. 1) Follow this link to learn how to get your own 4.4.2 update for your device. D2005 is the only with 4.4.2 update so far but its compatible with D2004. 2) Follow this other guide to flash the FTF update created to your Xperia E1. The guide uses the Z2 as example but it can be used with E1.

  • i'm planning to buy sony xperia e1..after reading all reviws i'm worried to buy this phone.... can anyone guide me how to install kitkat 4.4.2 os in this phone

  • Plz help me!!! Xperia e1 automatically shut down!!! Why???

  • hello everyone does updating to kitkat solve the heating while on mobile broadband. any other issues except the fb app going missing.

  • hello everyone does updating to kitkat solve the phone heating while on mobile broadband. any other issues except the fb app going missing

  • Same issue here.. Any update or remedy?

  • Hi. Have just installed this update on my Mum�s phone. But the update automatically deleted the Facebook app & when we try to reinstall the FB app from Google Play, the phone responds with message of �incompatible application�. Is anyone else having this issue ? HELP ME PLZZZZZZZ!

  • I had that same problem when I first got the phone.. I loaded airtime, and it just chewed airtime without doing anything on the phone.. my sisters fiancee told me to load a data bundle on the phone instead of airtime, and yes, a data bundle works much better. But you can load airtime on the phone with the data bundle, and the airtime won't get used.. what would also help is, if you go to 'Settings', select 'Data usage', and switch off the 'Mobile data' - although if you do that, you won't get any Facebook updates.

  • I've using it from two month and i've upgrade it to kitkat....from 2 mnth there no ussue with dis phone,,,,no hang pblm,,no restart prblm,,,the phone is is more faster after upgrading to kitkat,,,,this ph is bttr than other samsung or nokia device...i just luv my phone,,,"SONY ,MAKE BEHILIVE" make me behilive on company

  • After go to kitkat,Xloud does not work on my E1 anymore. On/off Xloud has same volume.Does anybody have this problem ?

  • f u incountr that problm restartng becos of poor memory ram

  • Facebook app is missing after i update the phone to kitkat and when i try to install the facebook app from playstore it can't be install again.I try to install the app from another source but it still doesent work.What should i do?

  • so frustrated with this now,first phone was running KITKAT as is the second phone so both are up to date,and SONY insist i update the phone via COMPANION PC,getting annoyed with them now

  • i also have the same problem. it shuts down twice or three times a week and re starts automatically and its a bit bothering

  • Like other says it rebooting a lot. Also it has not got kikat and might not get it. also earspeaker is very low even on highest vol. and draining battery fast

  • same as mine

  • After getting Kitkat on my Xperia E1, I finally got this device rooted using towelroot! Already installed Xposed Modules and changed some of the software components like the navbar softkeys and added CRT animation effects when turning off the screen. Feels like my Nexus 5 shrunk into 4 inches! :)

  • on my second xperia e1 within 2 weeks and they both have the same fault,phone randomly shuts down then restarts again without me touching anything,anyone else have the same problem or a quick fix,SONY don't seem to be bothered with the problem/fault and wont accept it has a problem

  • My Facebook application disappeared when I upgraded my android,why was. It

  • Ah I see. No problem. :)

  • Restarting problem solved with kit kat update...

  • Well Stan he's got a 3.2 inch right now so this is a upgrade to 4" Thanks for the info too

  • Yes it use normal sized SIM. The call quality is near excellent. It's an ok phone. But if it;s your dad shouldn't you get a phone with bigger screen? Just wondering.

  • sometimes its restating itself. why?

  • Can you please help me with my Sony Xperia e1 I have it for two months and I just con't log in to my wifi at work are anywere ells please I need help. It takes all my data my email is [email protected] please send anything that can help me make my phone rite please

  • Call quality is good (mind you, my experience is limited to central and eastern Europe - results may vary in other parts of the world). The SIM type used is mini-SIM (I have no idea what you consider normal :)).

  • Did you find anything on this?

  • Were were is kitkat were were. Come on givit to us now

  • Is the E1 normal size sim? How's the call quality? Might get 1 for my dad! I'm rocking the Sony Xperia SP

  • Facebook is not working after update.

  • Yes it is. But it's not stereo.

  • is this phone loud?

  • yes

  • I think that it doesnt have roms because phone is good, Xperia U was slow and because of that a lot of custom roms have been made for it.

  • i upgraded via pc companion

  • I think India got it first but there is a ftf with 4.4.2 update from Russia, it has in fact many languages support (Spanish, English, German, etc). You must use it with Flashtool and not Sony Companion.

  • Weird. How did you updaded your phone? Sony Companion or Flashtool? I updated 2 days ago and I didn't noticed this, the swipe option was enabled by default and I always use pattern to lock it but I see what you say... weird but not an issue for me.

  • Are your contact sync with your google account? Have you configured groups? perhaps you don't know how to show the right group where all your contacts are. I've been using this phone for a month and I've never had such a trouble with my contacts.

  • hey, i have a problem with setting up my lock screen after kitkat update 4.4.2. under settings>security>lock screen options for "none" and "swipe" were grayed out therefore, i can't select any of those it just says "disabled by administrator, encryption, or credential storage" does anyone suffer the same problem? pls help me, i tried reinstalling my firmware, and hard reseting my device but the same problem persists

  • Through my laptop. Install sony pc companion in your laptop then connect your e1 smartphone via cable data. It will detect your new firmware automatically. Update take me about 2 hours. Good luck. Iam from indonesia.

  • It's upgrade-able to 4.4.2 :)

  • how did you download kitkat update?????????????? is it through wifi or broadband ?

  • guys update your phone to kitkat!!! i also updated mine just today using pc companion and i must say it got better performance than jellybean.

  • I update to kitkat this day. Suddenly battery endurance become better, smooth, no lag, memory avalaible rise from 70mb in 4.3 to 110mb in 4.4.2. Thx sony. I update through pc companion. A must update to experia e1 user.

  • I bought this phone as a backup, my daily driver is a Nexus 5. I'm just disappointed that this phone have no exploits yet in terms of software(no custom roms...) But this morning I did an update to Sony's official Android 4.4.2 Kitkat and I gotta say touches, swipes, and animation transitions seems to have become alot smoother and responsive comapred to 4.3

  • Last night I updated my e1 Feeling better Kitkat is more snappier

  • Kitkat 4.4.2 for Xperia e1&e1 dual started to rolled out according to Xperia blog website

  • Download jetaudio from app store sound is double

  • I lost contact list twice within 2 months. it is in the memory of phone but not displayed on the contact list. The service center have no answer except software problem. The China phone which I use before this seem to be better than this.

  • No

  • you can do all what your saying you cant and it has 4gb of internal data on E1

  • is sony e1 can use for playing clash of clan? please answer

  • How is it possible that a company like Sony goes out and inform on their support site that kitkat will be redy in july. Then all know that we well past july and their info still tell us user update in july. Is everybody on vaccation?or what?

  • no

  • You can conect a gamepad on xperia e1?

  • Xperia m

  • both are worst try a better phone motorola is best both e1 and m has ;ow internal memory and u cannot instal apps to sd card and cannot tranfer data to sd card

  • worst phone at its class the phone sucks the sony is worst phone maker this phones kitkat update has no information till now hate sony dont buy this one worst performance if you open your camera it will take atleast 10 secs to open and when you click an image it freezes and only when you rewmove your battery only its work

  • sony xperia E1 and sony xperia M,which one is better?

  • Can anyone give some review about the performance of this device after the kitkat upgrade??is the phone get better or worst?

  • Sorry no kitkat until aug or sep this sucks

  • No kitkat for us hopefully end of this year to this low end device

  • Its not a bad phone at all, I've used it for 3 weeks now and its all I was expecting, good performance for a high-low-end phone (there are slower phones for the same price in my country that's why the high-low-end) I guess it all ends with from what phone you come from. I had a ZTE V793 which is very outdated and the E1 fullfils my needs.

  • Bought. Yesterday as a secondary phone for office calls and texting If you are a low to medium user who don't need camera It's a best phone Gives good battery backup and good music.

  • KitKat roll out shortly

  • Were is the kitkat update what is holdning it. Im tired of wating

  • One of my friend got this problem too, but he asked the guy at the service center and they fixed it for him. Maybe you should check at your service center?

  • Recently bought the Xperia E1. Everything went well until the message popped up my internal memory was full. I have downloaded nor recorded any music or video's and have almost no pictures. I have about 8 applications. And there's no way to move them to the SD card. Can you believe this? Hopefully the update will be here soon. This is a major flaw in this phone of you ask me..

  • Oh the complaints will keep coming... Because some people are ignorant...

  • finally someone who spoke out ! bow down to you mate ! amazing comment ! that would shut peoples mouth

  • Finally, kitkat for E1 certified and we should be getting it.

  • when will xperia e1 ( single sim ) get kitkat update ?

  • when is the kitkat update rolling out?

  • is this water resistant??

  • is this water resistant??

  • 4days to go lets see if we get kitkat

  • Actually E1 is a low end phone. And sony's best of its class. Midrangers are m2 and others. I guess this phone is great for a low end category. People are just so stupid to expect a high end performance on this phone. But in reality. This phone's great and maybe trully the best on its class.

  • I like your comment.we all know that this is SONY'S mid range phone,be wise people!

  • How do you get bbm on this phn and how you set this e1 up cause this my first tym I'm using a sony

  • very low device memory

  • GUYS! PLS STOP COMPLAINING ABOUT LAGS, HANG and WHATEVER CAUSES THAT MAKE THIS PHONE INFERIOR, of COURSE it is, YOUR PREFERENCES FOR A SMARTPHONE IS WHAT YOU EXPECT ON A HIGH END SMARTPHONES LIKE Z1, GALXY 5, G3, IPHONEs etc. IF YOU FIND ANY DIFFERENCE IN PERFORMANCE, then BUY HIGH END SMARTPHONES and STOP COMPLAINING ABOUT LoW END PHONES, that's all your monies worth that's why it is cheap. Can't you understand that? those who SAY they experienced HANGING and whatsover, THEY DON"T USE THE PHONE PROPERLY, seriously, Manufacturers dont make defective products. maybe others are just trolls. I have bought several phones and none of them hangs or had any major issues, it's the users fault not to use the phone properly or pretty ignorant about it's uses and specs so they expect more than what it really has. I guess you guys wont buy china phones, of course, you think they are inferior, why? because they are cheap. THIS PHONE'S Cheap so it makes no sense to complaint.

  • Can someone say me if this phone is goog or bad? i want buy a new phone.

  • WOW just got myself this phone, very impressed i must say.

  • Samsung wont give service. Sony is quick in service. Im suffering after buying a samsung core. Three service in three months. They cant repair and they wont replace. stupid people with pathetic service

  • go to sound setting...you'll find x-loud option..that will increase sound of internal speaker and for earphone as well

  • Must read Good sony design No restart problem with me Little hanging while typing Music is not extraa loud if i compare to any noraml Qmob (pakistan loacal mob comapny) phones like E450 A50 etc. So plz dont buy for music purpose. Orignal handsfree is very low but when i intall jetaudio its double the volume.

  • U should install jetaudio and get double volume in handsfree than orignal stupid Walkman app. Beleive me

  • dont waste ur money on dis phone ,mine is just 1 month old nd m facing hell of a problem.if u want andriod go for samsung.it wuld be best .

  • best moto e.

  • Been using this phone for a couple of weeks.Had some minor glitches in the beginning but all taken care of and is running fine.Love it! Better than samsung at this price range..........

  • I love everythng abw Sony even though there a problems with my Xperia V LTE I dnt care,nothing is Perfect so I am not to judge down but good big up Sony

  • I still didn't update the firmware. installed apps using apks. installed nq launcher- great no restart issues. but little heating up. great phone for such a price. change brightness to make ui look better. loved the phone. if you have restart issues factory reset.it worked for me

  • I do not recommend wasting money on this phone, from the beginning my SONY XPERIA E1 was restarted only at least 1 time per day. After placing new sd and encrypt it apart from most followed is reiniciarce I started to hang (stop, stop working while the touch) for small moments. If some other did not have that problem as you have good luck friend.

  • even though they were built as native apps?

  • Really very bad mobile Please friends don't waste u r money I have faced many issues 1-Restart 2-Heating 3-file not move in sd card 4-Hanging Many more problems Sony I hate....

  • download the app ASTRO FILE MANAGER from play store than copy any file from SD card 0 & past SD card 1..u can transfer all apps games from phn memory to SD card.

  • xperia E1 is a music phone (3D)but his walkman sound is very low even clear audio option is on..i am too much upset..pls give me suggestion how can i increase sound..

  • except few minor bugs that any phone is facing, it works better than other expensive phones. So far, I've done anything I wanted with this phone and no problem.

  • Its is realy bad phone. I purchase this phone on 30/06/2014 just before 4 -5 days this phone start hanging restart auto switch off again restart.I realy fell badly to purchase this phone

  • Just get it, its perfect for first phone, and performance is a lot better than many others, it uses android kit kat, and sound quality is really good if you like watching videos or playing games, display is pretty good too, so nothing to worry about. Any phone can be bad or good, if something is wrong when you buy it go back to the store and make them fix or replace it with a good one!!!

  • Itz a worst phone.... Dont buy this phone... It often restarts and hanging....

  • This is also a bad phone . I purchased it befor one week It had restart complaint and bad conneutiviy, signel fluctuations. Really I disappointed with this.

  • this mob is really gud product, if u love sony and ur budget is under 8000/-then u must try this one, and there is no risk. no need to mention sony's best feature(walkman,cleariyy etc), main thing is battery and user interface. xperia e1 has battery of 1700 mah and its quite good. display is far beter than other products in the same range.camera is 3 mp and i is very good, recording is also fine., walkaman is jst awesome,if u buy from local store u will get additional headfones of 1400/-. and that sounds good bcaz its actual price in market is 7600/-,:-)

  • I am going to buy this phone in two weeks time and then at Christmas I will buy the Sony Xperia M2, hopefully they will have upgraded both of them Android 4.4.x KitKat by then

  • Moto e

  • really i disapointed with internet signal from this phone and i've compared with my sony ericsson j108i cedar...and the winner is..:Cedar..i allways love j108i Cedar.But what i get from e1 is sucks!especially on internet...any help?

  • Hey Chirac! Sorry, but I'm not an expert. But instead I suggest you to inform yourself about the offers and prices and then make your own decision. Good luck!

  • It's better you buy the Motorola Moto G.... the best affordable smartphone around

  • Hi Please advise if this is a good phone to get

  • great phone for starters.

  • I am buying smartphone for first time in my life , should i really go for it ?

  • Untill few days ago, I wished to go back to my old Blackberry (powerful and stable OS) but an update on Xperia E1 seems that has fixed a lot of bugs including restarting side. Maybe it's too soon to say something very positive about it but now it works fine ...Recommend to anyone to give a try making an update ...it worth it. If you can't do it with Sony PC Companion (that's my case) go to Sony Update Service. Still hope that this phone could be really amazing....besides, I'm looking forward to the next version planned on July as far as I've heard about.

  • those who having restart problem please register their complain in service centre or on this no. its a toll free no 180030002800 so that know that this is a big issue and do some thing about it i am saying it because when i called in service centre today i told them that my and all other xperia E1 facing restarting problem they told me that their is no such issue with e1 if you have any kind of problem then repair your software by pc companion or go to service centre to do so so pls register your complain on the above no so that they can notice the problem and fix it

  • any one having restarting problem visited to service centre for the fix and what they replied on it?

  • I have been using for 3 days.no lags no problems.anyway did u update ure firmware. i didn't do that.

  • Soon in July. May vary in each location

  • hang,restared,heat faster...that's all what i've got from this phone.

  • This is not support upgrade to android KitKat 4.4.2

  • I have it for 3 weeks and except it's restarting itself sometimes, I'm pretty pleased. Some issues could happen to any phone no matter if it's Samsung, Apple or other brand. For this phone there are some apps that are very usefull.You can find them on Google Play. Although, as the case may be, perhaps the best solution is to get it to the service.On the other hand, come on guys, how many of all those "magic" features that other phones have them are you using per day.Nowadays, it's not worth it to stay focused on a single phone on a digital era always in progress....any new entry phone becomes an old phone thanks to the next huge "brand". Finally, if you've got this phone it's OK if not it's OK, too. Enjoy life guys!

  • Should I buy this or moto e?

  • sony is a brand but this product is cheapest in compare with all branded Mobile pls Don't buy...

  • When will E1 update to 4.4.2 kitkat?

  • Try and see yourself

  • This is the most slippy phone i have owned! Get a gel case when u buy this phone or u will drop it!! Does anyone know why the purple pulse light comes on when i go onto photo album or walkman player? Can it be turned off? I know the option to turn of pulse notifaction but there is no option to turn it off for some apps

  • no restart issue for me. great phone so far no lags.touch little dragging sort unlike galaxy s4 .

  • It's in the number dialer

  • where is the call log ?

  • I have purchased this phone last month and what I can really say about this phone is that its really GREAT GREAT GREAT at such a low price. I can't find any other phone with all these features. It is not any entry level phone or basic phone but it is the final phone. Positive things about this phone 1. Great Display: Though under sunlight you cannot see anything clearly the display is awesome indoors. The screen size is big and all photos, videos and other graphics are clearly visible even from the sides. 2. Great sound: The sound is loud and clear and you can really feel the music at your heart. I can't believe that you can even get headphones FREE with it. 3. Great User interface: if you are new to this phone you may have difficulties during your initial use but later you automatically get used to it. It has got a querty keyboard which is very easy to type when you auto-rotate the screen. 3. Very good Web browsing experience You can download firefox and get full length webpages in seconds. Reading online contents is also great. You can also play YouTube videos and download them using tubemate application. you can also very easily connect this phone to your computer without any CD because the software to be installed on your pc is pre stored in your phone. By just enabling the USB tethering option and selecting install software on your phone you can easily surf Internet on your computer using 3G by just enabling the LAN icon which gets created in your network connections windows. 4. Battery: Right now my battery gives me a very good backup even with music, videos etc but if you use the Internet for long the battery seems to drain by 2 or 3 percent slowly which is not a big problem as you can still browse the Internet for even more then half an hour with a fully charged battery. Sensitive touch: Touch should not have a problem at all. Ways better than my old Samsung phone. Speed: Doesn't seem to be too slow even though it's ram is just 512mb. Speed is not a problem at all. Only auto rotation of the screen takes a little time just around 3-4 secs. Negative sides: The phone sometimes hangs for which you need to remove your battery and place it back. It hangs only sometimes and is not a big problem as this problem is only after a long use or is very rarely Also note when you use this phone for the first time the back cover is very hard to remove but just after 1 week frequent removals it becomes easy to remove. overall the phone features I found were more than expected. The cost of this phone should be more in my opinion with these awesome features like auto brightness, 3mp camera etc. I bought this phone (single sim) just for Rs. 8000. Dual simply costs Rs. 9000 at my store with free headphones.

  • for a mid range phone that combine performance with decent level it takes pretty good pictures!

  • Contact your phone operator

  • If you wanted phone with great camera for good photos, then why you bought Xperia E1? For the money this phone is great.

  • can you give me specific details on how to solve the internet configuration problem in this phone

  • can i download bbm on E1?

  • Purchased from The Source in Ontario, Canada. I've had the Xperia E1 for one day so far, but feel like I've had enough time with it already to comment. Starting with pros I have to say the UI is excellent, it makes the phone feel far more polished and superior to other budget phones like Huawei and Alcatel. Performance while navigating the UI is very pleasant, and the phone packs enough performance to play some bigger 3D titles. While the plastic body looks and feels cheap it also feels rugged in a certain way, like you don't need to put it in a case at all. Contrary to listed specs the screen is actually PLASTIC, while some would consider this a con I would say it's a good thing, since it's marketed as a music phone one would expect people to take this to the gym, running, cycling etc. A plastic screen is much less likely to crack during rough activities than a glass one. Still you will want to put a screen protector on it ASAP, because scratches will only degrade the screens image quality even further! For some negatives, I'd have to criticize the screen quality, I haven't seen a phone screen this bad in many years. Despite the dpi, text and images are rougher than you'd expect, blurry and grainy. Colors are washed out and viewing angles are terrible. The camera comes next on the list. I KNEW when I bought the phone it was only 3mp, but with today's technology that's no excuse for it to perform so poorly. The shutter lag is so bad, two people I tried to photograph said "cheese", then walked completely out of frame before the picture snapped! Details are so lacking that photographs taken in perfect conditions look like smeared oil paintings. It's sad because $99 phones had better cameras than this 4 years ago. Sony should be ashamed! The cheaper Desire C, Huawei Y530 and Lumia 520 all have superior cameras. My final complaint will be the LAG. Actually, during most functions the phone performed rather well. The UI is smooth as butter and gaming performance is excellent. There are some strange lags however, such as when unlocking the phone, opening the camera app, switching from an app to mms and back, and worst of all the web browser performance. Most of these lags were show stoppers, requiring me to wait several minutes until the phone "caught" up and behaved normally. The web browser is the worst because there are many web pages that just cannot load no matter what. The android browser will crash to the launcher and Chrome will give a low memory warning and fail to complete the operation (I was posting an ad on kijiji to sell my E1, lol). Many will say that it's because of the phone's low spec, you get what you pay for blah, blah...but if I didn't have a Huawei Y530 sitting beside the E1 right now with identical chipset that exhibited none of these lags I would agree with you. Plus when you consider that the Huawei has a much better IPS display, scratch resistant glass screen, 5Mp camera of MUCH better quality that shoots 720p AND a front facing camera, a more premium body construction AND is $20 cheaper...well...I think I'll be justified bringing this phone back tomorrow for an exchange. Thanks for putting up with an extremely long post. In actuality I really want to like this phone, it has a lot of style and spunk going for it. But my kids start summer vacation next week and I'm saddened to think of how many priceless memories will be lost on this devices poor camera. I have a hardware upgrade coming up next month, so I may actually keep the device as a "beater" music device when I'm mountain biking, and to let my kids use it as a tablet-like device for playing android games. Still, nothing will send a better message to companies like Sony that consumers will not accept this garbage, than mountains of returned devices from dissatisfied customers. Please learn from my experience, I hope it helps you make the best choice!

  • Very good phone.. just bought it a week ago and looks very good the options above notification panel can be adjusted.. just a problem of restarting. it restarts automatically once a day. give it 4 out of 5

  • i have the phone for 2 weeks,i have problem with internet signal...any solution?

  • Yes

  • Great value phone. Exellent media player. Bought this for my 15yr old son and he loves it. Easy to use fast. Just had to make sure to set up the correct MMS/Internet details for the operator. Details for how to do it are on the Sonymobile.com website. Just remember this is not a high end phone but a value phone. Compared to others in this price range this is excellent. Though will not compare against an Z1/Z2 or S4/S5 or iPhone, but you can get 4 of these for the same price..

  • faced the same problems even more ....restarting itself for instance . As for your complains..I've drained my brain trying to make a lot of adjustements between network mode and sound options and finally got a good sound . It's unexpected from such brand like Sony ...but overall it's not a bad phone ....I'm still testing it hoping that finally it can satisfy my own needs

  • Tell abt features & restarting prblm so i didnt buy it

  • You can use up to 10 fingers for this phone actually. The video recording is 720p HD and you can play heavy games such as dead trigger, need for speed and other without any lag. This phone is worth the money

  • This phone is bull shit.I buy it yesterday and the speaker doesent work.Dont buy it!

  • fow which phone should I go? Xperia E1 or the Liquid Z4???

  • good fone 4 that price . Using frm one month.no hanging problem.

Also i put it on charge last night woke up it wouldnt switch on so i took battery out n put it back it , to find it does work yet it only had 53% battery . what aload of crap this phone is !!! DO NOT GET THIS PHONE

  • update the mobile with latest software

  • for restarting pblm go to Sony service centre and register complain see what they have to say

  • i m using xperia e1...bt internel memory 2 gp...why..?

  • restarting pblm is not because of software or ram the reason is its battery is slightly loss so when ever phone take a jerk it get restart to over come this u can put a small piece of paper to tight and it will do the magic it is a temporary solution let see what sony going to do about this design fault expect this the over all performance is petty good camera performance is batter than many other 5mp cam in this range

  • Turn off all vibrations. And include all 3rd party apps on exceptions on "stamina mode" Seems to work for me... more than 2 days without restarting itself. Gud luck

  • nice phone, sure would go for it.. the cam isn't everything! oh and its affordable

  • hi, such a worst phone xperia e1, daily 6 to 10 times restarting itself, cannot find any solution, insufficient RAM, sometime xperia keyboard not responding.. my suggestion "DO NOT BUY THIS CRAP "

  • dude,it is 2014 and much good phones are available at same price,second thing check sony website specs,what are they offering and what are they give.

  • i want to get the phone in this week so somebody tell me how about this phone such the camera,audio/video player,battery and any else...thanks

  • i want to get the phone in this week so somebody tell me how about this phone such the camera,audio/video player,battery and any else...thanks

  • its just a crap with only 2gb internal memory (not 4gb)

  • Well yes of course Lumia 520 far better than E1 .... if it didn't have any mysterious "other storage" memory issue.

  • Beautiful phone. I would have gone for it, if it is 5 MP with flash.

  • Beautiful phone. If it is a 5MP with flash, I would definitely gone for this.

  • Nokia lumia 520 is far far batter then e1 as for 520 is more frist and not in lagdroid ..

  • To move the music,photos,videos and other files from internal storage to your sd card just go to the settings>storage>then go to the bottom, click transfer files to sd card. With the battery, you might want to install some 3rd party battery saver apps that can help you managing your running apps. If you're still not satisfied go to the settings again >power management and select the stamina mode. Most of the tweaks are on the settings, enjoy tweaking.

  • guys, this is my 1st smartphone, can u tell me how to move apps/songs/photos to sd card from phone storage also i think something's wrong with the battery. I put my phone in my pocket with 75% battery left, and 10 min later it was 72%. I dont think that 1700 mah batteries are suppossed to give such performance

  • I got this phone almost a month ago but its quite decent for me with its price to be honest. It has a good sound output as expected, the display is nice and as well as the camera (actually doing good for 3mp). The most interesting with this is the battery. The stamina mode is just awesome and just install those free 3rd party battery saver to make it superb. Yes I had some lagging and auto restarting issue on this phone before but after I updated the latest firmware and apps on settings I occassionally experienced those. What I can advise is don't do multi tasking especially if you're doing internet/game stuff because it's not designed for that. And please always consider the price before you complain about the product. Remember this, you can always buy the greatest phone in the world, just make sure you got the money and the willingness to spend for it.

  • @hey that's not true, I have an Xperia V LT25i and I have most of my apps in the SDcard

  • best phone in range batter then samsung

  • you cant move apps to sd card in any sony mobile but other files you can

  • so far its good,,,ram yeah a bid disapointing ,,but its fast stylish and love to have it

  • Does anyone knows how to root Xperia E1 single or any idea bout moving apps to sd card, i couldnt see any option to move apps in sd card, please help me out..

  • I think you need to push the volume down buttton and power button together..or find on the nortification bar. What do you think about RAM,camera,CPU clock speed? I think it is a little weak,isn't? It will be great if it has a front camera.

  • Yeah,I agree it and also like it. But I'm a little disappointed about resolution,about RAM,and camera. And by the way,I'm from Myanmar.Do you know Myanmar.

  • Yeah,I also want to know about it. It got 100 db and I think it is great. But if you want to know about e1 speaker..search on recombo.com.

  • Yeah,I agree it and also like it. But I'm a little disappointed about resolution,about RAM,and camera. And by the way,I'm from Myanmar.Do you know Myanmar.

  • Hey,I don't think so... It is a nice one... It's cute and the music specs are great

  • this xperia e1 is gorilla display or it want to put screengard to protecting the screen

  • Please help me! I learned here how to solve my problem of restarting that my E1 had by aplying a piece of paper betwen the battery and the back cover but now i need another help.I want to turn off the option of ending a call with sending a message because the phone does on its own and it makes me trouble especially at works!!!!!thanks a lot to the one who gives me an advice!!!!by the way it can't be turned off from sending.

  • i bought it for rs 7000($120) it is the best music in this range also you will get mx-z110 headset worth rs 1390($20) for free. if you want more space for games, download ppsspp app

  • i bought sony xperia E1 just 2 weeks earlier n this is really the worst fone i have bought ever i was flat on its looks n bought it but really its shitttt after 5-6 days of buying it fone got restarting automatically after every 2-3 hours or may be after 1/2 hour i went to sony center they updated n repaired fone n told it will b ok but till now the problem is there n it is geting increased many more problems are also arising i suggest u not 2 buy this fone

  • It is a really good phone, though restart is a problem, but that exists in mostly all android phones, and the new firmware update has improved the performance a lot, great music, great bass in headphones, i really enjoy..it feels like sony, if u run heavy memory games then you may face memory block for a while as it has 512 mb ram, and it is common and applicable to all android phones, restart can get rid of memory block(freeze). on the point of overall perfoarmance, it is very durable and good phone. I am using it past a month and i am fuly satisfied.

  • 512mb ram?? no thanks!!!

  • Upgradable Kirkat now ? Pl any one tell me

  • Upgradable Kirkat now ? Pl any one tell me

  • I have a Sony Xperia SP and you can't remove the battery in that. I have had it for a year and have had no issues, if the phone crashes, there is a reset button located under the back panel. I would pick the Sony as Sony's don't feel cheap in the hand and the way they write over Android looks a lot cleaner than Motorola's. Plus the UI is clear and easy to use, I'm recommending this phone to one of my relatives. I also think the E1 is better designed than the Motorola which looks a bit old fashioned and cheap to me. Hope I helped.

  • Its really a nice phone go for it u will love it

  • Plz guys suggest- Moto e or xperia e1 I m a bit wary of non removable batteries, otherwise it was Moto e for sure. also r there any cons of non removable batteries? Thank u.

  • After 2 weeks of using E1,i noticed 1 or 2 dead pixels.Anyone else got the same problem?

  • dude this xperia e1 is not a high-end phone.... its only a mid-range phone.... use your brain dude not your mouth...

  • is it true that sony e1 is "always" restarting ?? please help me, i'm gonna buy this phone, but somepeople talk that this phone has that problem, i'm confused, please someone help me

  • I want to know if the Xperia e1 speaker is more louder than sony live with walkman or not?

  • Can any one tell me, there is any upgrade for improving sound quality, and how to get screen shots in this gadget? Help me plz....!

  • Most of the people I think are liar this phone has no issues at all it never restarts and its performance is good though its a mid range phone and it has 3.5 MP camera so dont expect it gives u result of 20MP i dont know why u complain. you are paying for a mid range set and u want it to be high end phone lolz if u got money go buy Z2 and enjoy ur life and stop complaining spend money or else shutup...

  • Does sony resolve all the issue ( restarting and hanging and increase the sound quality) and release updated software ?

  • please do not buy this phone. 1.Horrible viewing angle.(colors changes even u move phone in 5 degree) 2.Very bad performance at this price(reason is 512 MB ram)--422 MB user available. 3.poor camera (3 MP),No front facing camera. 4.Phone restart aromatically.(lot of user facing this problem) 5.As sony promises, it is a music phone.But sound quality is not good(Vocal sound is not clear in headset) Bass is impressive. it have 100 db speaker,it is really good for music,but when u watch movie vocal sound is very low and background music is too high. 6.no extra ordinary point to buy this phone,but sony have very good support system. 7.Only if you want to listen music with loud speaker then you can buy this phone.

  • Can anyone tell me how i capture screen shoots in my sony xperia E1

  • Brother u should buy s5 s5 is avialable in market at price of 100$ 7400 rupees all features are avialable Dust proof Water proof Best camera big screen better battery life fastest processor good gpu also and only in 7400 rupees

  • nokia lumia is also gud phne it has gud cmera lens & display clarity is also gud & has gud sound...battry life is also gud the main disadvantage of this phne is it does nt hve file manager in the phne & in the store also and does nt show any files & it does nt shws any video files and does nt hve equiliser & it lacks in applictions & it does nt hve mny fnctions lke xperia E1.....

  • Sony xperia E1 is gud phone with gud sound...it has gud battry life....it cmes with 3 mp cmera & it has gud clarity....4.3 android jelly bean...it has mny functions lke xperia M...ovral gud phne...

  • E1 is not good phone but lumia 525 is best better than sony E1 bcz lumia never stuck and very speed windows 8.1 very attractice and i am also adicted to nokia lumia

  • we have same problem man

  • I have the same problem, my E1 crashes on a daily basis. I've read somewhere that it's due to the RAM. I only have it for a week now, and it had crashed at least 20 times. I tried with factory reset, but it still crashes, even to some basic apps that come pre-installed with the phone, like the walkman, the camera, bluetooth and wifi, pretty much everything. I'm taking it back at the store tomorrow, to see if it can be serviced. The OS update also didn't help at all

  • I think nokia 525 Is doing better at this price range

  • Restarting issue with me was caused due to battery being loosely held. Try and put a small piece of paper so as to adjust your battery to be tight. This solved the issue for me. No restarts from past three days. And below someone said, latest OS update has fixed the issue. Nah! Message to Sony Mobiles :- Make your battery size in such a way that it is held nicely and tightly in its place.

  • i used this phone for a 4 weeks, and my phone restart automatically 1-2 times everyday after i update the firmware into latest update, can anyone help me to fix it? (i'm sorry for my bad english)

  • The random restarts are OS bugs, fixed in the last update. Other than that the phone is acting normally overall, the lag is due to the bloatware and it's not present all the time ( I got no lag at all ). Rooting it or waiting for the july KitKat update will fix the lag.Plus, having AOSP on, there will be plenty of custom roms available for it so there's no reason to complain.

  • Sony E1 is one of the worst and most crappy android phone...Try a cheap but decent low range android phone like Samsung Win or LG L70 for example and you will change your mind. And if you have more money, Grand 2 is great. I prefer Android over Nokia because you can find apps everywhere on the web.

  • This is a genuine review of the phone. I've been using this phone for the past 2 weeks. 1. Phone is laggy at times. 2. It restarts automatically atleast 2 times a day. Somewhere I read battery is loosely held, so perhaps that's causing it. 3. Sound is not that good as they boast. Its really not clear. 4. Phone is compact but looks cheap. 5. Camera is not to the mark. I've been a Windows phone user for a long time. Decided to give Android a shot as my friends used to say, how Android is cooler and smarter than Windows phone. My Android phone review. 1. Device gets heated fast. 2. Laggy. 3. Not at all stable. 4. Overall a pandora's box of problems. Honestly, Windows is by far the best mobile phone OS out there. Stable and less resource hungry. If you're thinking to buy this phone, consider giving a shot at lumia 525 or 520.

  • Very disappointed...laggy, bad screen, speakers has no bass, camera terrible...Why Sony (or Samsung) cannot make a decent music phone with high specs, good screen and loud dual stereo speakers ? Expensive external speakers are selling well, so there must be a market for an expensive music phone...HTC M8 does not appeal to me, maybe LG G3 and its 1W speaker will be worth buying. Using now Mega 6.3, and its speaker is very loud and clear

  • no xperia e is not dust or water proof.

  • No it isn't water proof so don't go putting it in water.

  • is the sony e1 water and dust prooof? anyone please tell me

  • We'll have the KitKat update rolling out on July

  • Hi to everyone. I have some questions. I am trying to decide between a Sony Xperia E1 and a LG L70. Which one would you all say is better? Also is there anyway to be able to move the apps to a microSD card on Jelly bean 4.3? Thank you very much for your assistance.

  • auto restart somtime Xperia e1 plzzz help me

  • My xperia e1 has lasted for 2 days,while playing music and games.

  • I bought a sony phone. Never again. Constant WiFi problems, Sony not bothering to give even one update to fix it. The so-called customer care service rubbish too- 2 WEEKS of waiting for a reply that basically told me to install this random software on my computer. Afterwards there were loads of follow up emails trying to get me to create a Sony account, which I already had. I'm still stuck with the phone, not being able to afford a new one for a good few months yet. Sony never has released any phones with specs that match other budget competitors. If anyone is looking for a good phone, look at the more affordable moto g

  • guys i bought this phone very recent. after every call,and updates a tune starts ringing..i want to stop that.plz anyone help me

  • same housing WITH 1 gig RAM, i would v bought it. Now i dont. AND I DONT BUY ANY OTHER SONY WITH 1 GIG. so the 512 gig tactic to persuade you to more expensive models doesnt work with me. I hate this market thinking enginering. CRIPPLING PHONES!! Where is a decent mid range 4 inch android good design phone with at least 1 gig?? cant find it dammit !! :) :) : )

  • Hello! Xperia E1 is a nice phone for me except 2 things :one is that it hangs quite often but what is worse is that the volume in calls turned very low after one week of using.I have to say that i wiped the phone and the screen with a wet cloth every day.If you give me an advice thanks a lot....

  • Which flash tool, name plz

  • The best speaker and audio :) But RAM is too small . Just 512MB :(

  • I have same problem but since flashing my device manualy with flashtool and latest firmware . i solved the problem :)

  • Never expected from a brand like Sony can manufacture this kind of phone, poor design, plasticky built, in this price range there are many better handsets from Nokia & Samsung.

  • The price is too high in my country..equal as 200 dollars ! But the strange thing is ,that even Galaxy s duos 2 is cheaper..its only 170 dollars + better features..actually much better.So,I Decided why should i go for e1?Instead,I Can have the better one in lower price.yea,I'll buy the s duos 2.

  • wrost phone from sony last 18 th april i buyed this phone on the 1 st day it restrated 3 times when i go to service center they said me that its an sofware complaint they sofware the phone and give me back and again the phone got restarted many times and iam totaly unsatisfied with the handset

  • The information given above is absolutely wrong and deceiving. The battery will not stay more than 30 to 38hrs in stand by mode. If you use internet and music, it gets out of battery with in 3 hours. It has no front camera and its photo is not sharp. Thus, it is bad phone. People, please, do not buy such phone. Sony must compensate me for such defected product! Shame on it!

  • Don't buy it ..u'll get fed up with its hanging problem .it gets switched off automatically minimum thrice a day :P :D

  • This phone doesnt have front camera. So will skype work on this mobile ?? Can we install and chat on skype on this phone ??

  • You're welcome, buddy! :)

  • this is the best phone ever

  • Thanks for your suggest and for given lot of information about E1 and also about KitKat OS Once again thank you :-)

  • Humm, Xperia C isn't a good choice because almost devices that have Mediatek Inside are stuck in 4.2, it already replaced by Xperia T2 Ultra Dual. Xperia M could be a good choice and it's get 4.3 update but not 4.4. And the processor isn't oudated yet and it has Adreno 305 GPU inside like one on the Xperia M2 and T2 Ultra. Happy Shopping, buddy!

  • Xperia M better than C plz wait for M2

  • SE LIVE WALKMAN and xperia C resolution not good

  • Hey, I just read the opinion of "Anonymous" below, He/She said LWW Sound is better both in quality and volume, so looks like I must say bye bye Xperia E1. I also looking for Xperia C, but I also like M. So maybe my next phone is between this two.

  • Thanks, for correcting, Btw Better Xperia c or M?

  • Since you're not use camera frequently, I think it's okay. And It's not Laggy-Buggy-Heavy Toucwiz UI that slow down the phone even with 1.5 GB RAM, but light Xperia UI is very smooth even with only 512MB RAM, Sony really optimized it. I think it can run Asphalt 8 smoothly, Nokia X can play Asphalt 8 too. Up to you, I can't force you buy it. But I think no else come close with this phone in its class.

  • Hey 2gb only userable Try xperia c

  • I had the phone for 2 days...Really good performance for its money....but in the sound departement its a little bit desapointing...(for the things that Sony was saying). My 2 1/2 years old WT19i has better speakers both in quality and volume.

  • Actually, if u asking I'm gonna buy or not I'm totally confuse, here's the reason: About camera, no flash and front (my LWW has). Even I'm not really often using camera but sometimes I need that. About multi touch only up to 2 fingers (my LWW is up to 4 fingers) this will be a problem when playing emulator game (Like PPSSPP,MyBoy,etc) 4 gb internal memory is good, but if only 512 MB RAM... :-( What I very like is from this phone is: 4 inch display, high pixel density, Dedicated walkman key, walkman player with rich feature,(I think more rich than my brother Xperia Tx), and 100 db sound (Actually I don't really know how loud that is, but user's said it's very loud). Should I buy E1, or go with another sony phone, or I should be more "extremely" patience to wait sony Improve this E1?

  • To be honest i was sceptic about this phone.When i bought it i realised that it runs smootly no lags or what so ever .Gaming its good no hickups in high graphics game.Definitly the best low budget andorid phone on the market.And yea the speaker is very loud :D.

  • To be honest i was scepit about this phone.Whem i bought it i realised that i run smootly no lags or wahat so ever .Gaming its good no hickups in high graphics game.Definitly the best low budget andorid phone on the market.

  • I think sony update 4.4 kitkat its support 720p

  • Superb smartphone best in its class

  • Yes, it doesn't support HD video rec. Probably, there was a mistake on Sony Mobile blog which says "support 720p vid. rec."

  • LOL. Live With Walkman was really outdated device, but It's loud, though. Unfortunately, it's hard to find in local market. Maybe, Xperia E1 will be a good choice for secondary phones. Anyway, are you going to buy Xperia E1?

  • Well it's kinda difficult to find super loud speaker phonee..., my SE live with walkman has great speaker(stereo speaker) , but it's very outdate (OS,processor,etc) and even walkman player only has xloud enhancement. No edit music info, no manual equalizer, no bass enhancer. But if u do some root with that phone and install this modified firmware: ? t=2162275 ,u will get more louder sound and bass boost preset equalizer. (U can also check the spec on this gsm arena.) Another option is this Xperia e1 coz, Some users said Xperia e1 has a great speaker. Actually I don't really recommended to go with my phone (live with walkman), but if u said for second phone, maybe it will be some consideration.

  • i currently used Xperia E1 dual. there are no option for 720p video recording there only 640p video recording possible

  • Wht def 302 & 305

  • By antutu the xperia e1 have adreno 305 gpu not 302.

  • I currently used Xperia Z1 Compact which I bought 2 days ago. My Z1 Compact Walkman player can download Album Art too. Audio quality is loud and clear but not too loud compared with my previous phone, SGS4. And now, I'm looking for super loud smartphones that will be my second phones? Any idea?

  • Thanks for guide it give me more knowledge. Hey bro may I know what phone did u use now? Is it from sony brand? My device now is SE live with walkman(LWW). Speaker is really awesome, and since I used this phone, I like phone with great(loud and clear) speaker and I only like Sony coz the walkman player (What I like about walkman is clear bass,xloud and uniquely it can download artist photo, I think only walkman(From 2012 Xperia and above) can do that). Clear bass really good even when using stock headset, I test it with my brother Xperia Tx and my dad Xperia J, speaker is loud but but not loud as my LWW. So may I know what device u use now? Maybe will be my consideration for my next phone.

  • This is a music phone not any other thing , thus 512 MB RAM is enough. The speed & power of the phone in any area is very well and unbeatable (cpu , GPU , ram , internal memory, ...) , not only on paper but in action !!!

  • it maybe caused by Z2 limited stock issue. According to BTekt video review, Z2 audio quality to be on par with HTC M8, but beat the HTC M7 and SGS5. So, I think it beat Xperia E1.

  • What this means in practice is that, forexample, you will not be able to use a third-party file manager app to copy files onto your SD card over a network. Another example is that you currently cannot use the TomTom app to download your maps to the SD card if you are on KitKat. Only first party apps are able to write to the SD card, which is why the File Commander app will still work on Xperia handsets running KitKat. Third-party developers can get round the issue by creating a dedicated private folder on the SD card which the app can write to. A problem with going down this route though is that all data written to these private folders will be deleted as soon as the app is uninstalled.

  • My county is Indonesia, I'm sorry bro, there's no clarity news when will it comes to my country, Also I didn't check the shop yet, some of my friend said it not come to Indonesia yet (maybe only some cities already sell it). Anyway I heard this Xperia z2 has stereo speaker? Will the sound beat E1? Oh 1 more thing, write data on SD card what is it mean? KitKat didn't allowed it, is it a big problem? Guide me please....

  • Anyway, Where do you live? Does have Xperia Z2 release in your country? Here, Hong Kong Xperia Z2 get delayed untill June. Did Xperia Z2 get delay too in your contry? Thanks.

  • Never hear about that before, maybe I should try it out by myself. Yeah, Xperia UI is the lightest, fastest, and prettiest UI. Touchwiz is nothing. Beware, 4.4 Kitkat didn't allow some apps to write data on Micro SD due to Google SD Restriction, it need root to allow apps write data on SD card.

  • Also if I don't wrong we can check it by tapping *#*#7378423#*#* When it says bootloader unlocked allowed: YES that means we can root and unlocking the bootloader. I don't interesting to install custom rom on this device coz it already has high os (jelly bean) and beautiful UI, all want to do is installing Titanium back up. No BE... Ok no problem.

  • Can anyone tell me is the vibration alert strong or weak when I put in my pants pocket?

  • What about earphone & head phones sound . . What about bass . If not good which earphones is best reply please

  • Upgrade in OS version, Processor, Display and Audio but Downgrade in Camera and Xperia E1 is waterproof-less.

  • Almost every smartphones is root-able, so I think Xperia E1 is root-able and support custom ROM or you can install Root Checker to make sure XE1 support Root. Yes, you can install Titanium Backup and restore your data on it. Unfortunately, Xperia E1 doesn't have BME2 or even Triluminos and X-Reality.

  • would moving from Sony Experia Go to a E1 be considered an upgrade or a downgrade?

  • Very very poor earpiece volume... Not audible outside/outdoor

  • Oooh, so it's like that... Hey, how do I know this phone is root-able or not? One very important thing about rooting (for me) is so I can install Titanium back up app. It can back up app+data(and saved game) cool app :-) One more thing, does this phone has Bravia Engine? Coz Sony album and movie app without BE seems to be not cool :-(

  • Yes, it does have Clear Phase along with Clear Audio+. Yes, if you turn on CP and CA+ on, it will sacrifice the loudness to produce more clean and clear audio quality than usual but not that quite, though. Clear Audio will filter the Noise and Clear Phase will reduce sound distortion.

  • Really hope it has an IPS screen rather than Some floppy screen resolution

  • Finally a 4" version of xperia E, good phone but i wish the screen resolution could have been much better.

  • Hi, friends i want to ask something, this phone has clear phase feature right? Does that clear phase feature will sacrifice sound volume when we enable it? (I mean sound will reduce when we enable it) please correct me if I am wrong. Can somebody also explain me the different between clear audio and clear phase ? Thank You.

  • Xperia E1 was really superb low-end device. It has clear and loud audio quality and in several benchmark test, it managed to beat Xperia M, Xperia L, Xperia Z, SGS4 Mini, and Oppo Find 5 (take a look at Xperia E1 Benchmark Result)

  • Xperia E1 was really superb low-end device. It has clear and loud audio quality and in several benchmark test, it managed to beat Xperia M, Xperia L, Xperia Z, SGS4 Mini, and Oppo Find 5 (look at Xperia E1's benchmark result).

  • thanks..but i hv decided to buy e1..:)

  • its available for 7400INR..i will buy it in few days.. :)

  • I am planning to get Sony xperia E1 can you anyone tell is this a right choice

  • Moto G Could Be much better option in terms of Price n Specs.(1GB Ram/720P Video/5MP Camera/Snapdragon 400)

  • I don't understand why people just go drooling over mediatek chipset devices? I used a Micromax Canvas 2(Dual Core+512 MB RAM). My brother's Xperia E(1GHZ Single Core+ 512 MB RAM) was smoother and faster than mine in many aspects. So when guys you see a phone having a snapdragon processor please stop commenting if you prefer mediatek devices. They provide very poor battery backup. In fact the new Broadcom Chipsets Are better than mediatek when it comes to battery life. Phones using Mediatek chipsets lag like hell. I've seen quad cores lagging worse than my Galaxy Music Duos. Whats the point of using a quad-core if it does not give you the quad-core experience? Just to make it clear. Please dont compare Mediatek with Qualcomm just on the basis of specifications, Its not worth it.

  • how about htc desire x?

  • It does support 720p videos.

  • You see sir Sony does not have too many unwanted bloatware. Also, Jellybean 4.3, Kitkat 4.4, Have been pre customised for cellphones having lesser memory. You can find devices running 4.3 with just 256megs of RAM. Anybody planning to buy this device can blindly go for it. Unless you want a better camera in that case go for Lumia 520 which comes in the same price bracket(7k-8K INR). I have ordered this device and am waiting delivery.

  • thats all function you mention just useless, meanwhile with that price we get superb procie,

  • Moto G

  • Yeah, I think so. Cyber-Shot already implemented by Sony in Xperia Z series, excluded Z Ultra. The one thing I miss from Sony is Greenheart phone like Naite, Aspen, etc.

  • no nfc,no dlna,no second camera no..... in one word it's very low

  • I want to buy one sony xperia e1 but peoples says we cant move Apps to SD card is that true? Pls answer me somebody i will buy one for 3 days!!!

  • Is this this phone has NFC??

  • Yes its handle becoze its sony not nokia , samsung

  • only 512 mb of ram ?? how can this phone handle android 4.3 ?

  • I agree with u, no matter it will be a low-end, mid-range, or high-end I still want sony bring back their walkman phone. Maybe Sony should bring back cyber-shot phone too.

  • this mobile pe 1280+720 resolution video support karta hai i want buy to this Mobile.....

  • yeah...i hv used 2 samsung mobiles...so dis time i l buy sony.

  • screen size 4.5 memory 8gb ram 1gb 1.2 ghz quad core snapdragon 400 adreno 305 or above walkman app with same quality in headphones camera 5mp slimmer than 9mm black front kitkat out of the box with guaranteed update...and the phone is perfect for me...nothing more nothing less.

  • They should put Sony S-Master surround sound chip on Xperia E2 then make it have 4.3" qHD, 1 gigs RAM, 5mpix or 8mpix with flash, 1.4GHz Snapdragon 410, and 2000Mah battery. And E2 will no longer low-end devices, it will be a midranger.

  • Sorry, just kidding. Other option, Nokia X, and tons of samsung low-end devices which i can't mention one by one. But no ones come close to Xperia E1 on Music and Processor.

  • Sony should release Xperia e2 this year immediately with flash+front camera, 1 gb ram, and 4 multi touch. Please sony, Keep improving Xperia walkman phone! Make low-end, mid-range, and high-end walkman phone just like when u with Ericsson. Many people (including me) miss u'r walkman phone.

  • i mean within my budget which is 200 usd

  • Samsung galaxy trend 2

  • thickness at 9.5mm? I know you can buy Xperia Z1 Compact ;-)

  • i want to buy it but it is12 mm thick..thats a deal breaker..but i can still buy it if price drops to 7500..current price is 8000..n do you guys know any other thinner phone(8 to 9.5mm) with superb audio quality..i guess there is none..reviews of 310 are negative..l70 is not that good..l90 n m2 are costly..x is cheaper but not a music phone..lumia 630 i will keep an eye on it but not expecting much from this device..so i will have to bear this fat mobile cuz no other music phones are there..i will buy black or purple so that it doesnt appear that fat...n yeah..lumia 630 is tempting as it is only 9.2mm and looks good(to me) and wll also be priced around 11.5k...n then i will wait for a price drop..so e1 is the final decision.

  • Did you know? All devices that use Mediatek chipset were stuck on JB 4.2. And Anyway Xperia E1 officially confirmed by Sony that E1 will receive 4.4 KK update later.

  • Zte blade q is using mediatek chipset and xperia e1 qualcomm chipset, which is more reliable,the only advantage is more RAM. One important thing is after sales service

  • Yep, E1 is not good enough. I advice everyone go for ZTE Blade Q, best budget phone on the market, cost just a very little more than E1 and will give you faster dualcore, MAIL400 GPU, 1GB RAM and IPS display. Unbeatable.

  • eco frienly phone

  • Soni xperia e1 is dest phon

  • very good phone, music too good and no hanging problem after update..best phone in sony

  • why only 512 ram? otherwise I like the concept.

  • I'm not sure with your opinion and I'm not sure you have it. You might be just Troll around the forum. And I've saw several Xperia E1 hands-on video on youtube and E1 run kitkat perfectly no lag.

  • Thanks for guide bro.... :-)

  • use titanium - menu - bulk operations - backup user programs and DATA. then buy this phone, root it, install TB, insert same SD card, and then either make a bulk reasore all user soft with data (not recommended), or select apps you want to restore (the game). Or just navigate to the game's backup in the list of software and press the restore button in it.

  • For the price you get much better quality 5 " local brand phones...even if it is a chinese phone. E1 is total waste of money.Terribly slow .

  • I want to buy this phone but firstly I have some question to ask: My phone now is Sony Ericsson live with walkman (Rooted) and I already installed Titanium Back Up, My question how to back up my saved game? I play "Silver Nornir" game and I want to back up my saved data using titanium back up, but how to do it? Also when I buy E1 someday, how to restore my game+the saved game data? Do I have to root the Xperia E1 then install Titanium back up again to restore the game + saved game data? Please help!

  • 2 newest comments was nonsense (might be paid hater)! Next time, post a makesense comment guys!

  • Hi guys, recently i bought Xperia E1 .there are the plus and minuses... PLus++++ ......... -good speaker - light weight - User friendly GUI interface.. - Support All regional Language - Superb Bass quality music Minus------ ........... - sony told E1 is dual active support..but its Dual standby only... - No Light sensor...so not comfortable to view when day time..it means you manually adjust screen brightness everytime.. - Hanging/restart problems verdict ........ DONT BUY ....FIND BETTER OTHER PHONES....THIS MOBILE NOT RECOMMEND APP USERS,GAME USERS,BUSINESS USERS AND EVEN MUSIC LOVERS ALSO...DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY...

  • The experia e is the worst phone ever. Don't even take one for nothing. Constantly freezing and crashing with no memory. You have to uninstall apps to update them. It won't allow you store to memory card. Worst phone ever

  • its very unuseful phone and options are very crazy.this phone is hanged automatically and starts again.this not suitable this price

  • I want to buy this phone but firstly I have some question to ask: My phone now is Sony Ericsson live with walkman (Rooted) and I already installed Titanium Back Up, My question how to back up my saved game? I play "Silver Nornir" game and I want to back up my saved data using titanium back up, but how to do it? Also when I buy E1 someday, how to restore my game+the saved game? Hope someone can help me.

  • Are you stupid? 512MB RAM (100MB used out of the box) Read The White Paper, dude. That's why, it's just have 422MB RAM. Same as 2 GB RAM on Z1 (200 MB used out of the box) 1.82 GB Reamainig RAM.

  • Are you guys crazy or what? Comparing Xperia E1 to phones that cost twice or thrice as much? Compare it to S Duos 2 like phones. Or the Nokia X.

  • I just buy xperia E1(single sim) and hv bad experience. Music: Music quality is good in speaker but average in headset. I have test with [ipod original headset] with nokia express music 5310,ipod,philips gogear and xperia e1. xperia e1 got low score.Bass and trable have good quality but not able to produce original vocal sounds. Xperia claims have 3d surround sound,but [3d surround sound] option only available for loud speaker not for headset. what is use of [3d surround sound] option for mono speaker? screen resolution is 480x744, 0 x 056 resolution is use for back,home and task button, so for playing game xperia use only 480 x 744 resolution. for watching videos it will use full resolution 480x800. very poor viewing angle.creates problem for motion gaming. camera and battery perform better than expectation.but no 720p video recording. Gaming: CPU-Z show 422 MB total ram.big problem for gaming. temple run,subway surfer run smoothly only if there is no other background task. gta-3,dead trigger also run smoothly. Call Quality:quality is good,but volume is low. conclusion :there is no extraordinary point to perches this phone.

  • Have tried it. Feels very cheap in hand, very slow, screen too small, camera terrible and even speaker sound is not that loud. My Mega 6.3 is louder. Can't find anything good about that phone...don't buy it.

  • XE1 didn't include on PSMC devices list. Check this PSMC devices list:

  • but look at this photo the 4th icon its psm

  • Unfortunately, E1 doesn't support PSM Certified. No, it just support multitouch up to 2 fingers. Check this link for more info about E1 specs: www.xperiablog.net/specifications/2014-xperias/x­peria-e1/

  • this device supports psm (playstation mobile) right? So the multi touch is up to 4 fingers? And does it have led light notifications? Thanks

  • Already lanched in india price 9400/- INR

  • I want to know when is this phone will be release ==

  • U should ask this question in xperia e1 dual page. coz this phone is not released yet.

  • Hi users of E1, coz I didn't have one of these yet, can u tell me u'r experience about music quality in this phone? Both in speaker and headset. (does it produce enough bass in headset?) Waiting for u guy's answer Thanks.

  • U'r question has been answered by this guy below @humming mob are U interesting with lww? :-)

  • This phone is rubbish. Specs are rubbish, screen is rubbish, speaker is rubbish. only buy this phone if you want a rubbish phone

  • Sony ericsson Live With Walkman(LWW)

  • Which phone is LWW?

  • I am planning to buy Sony Xperia E1. Tell me about the performance is it worth to get this mobile..

  • I am planning to buy Sony Xperia E1. Tell me about the performance is it worth to get this mobile..

  • this site is not for english test.and i bet you dnt know any other language than english.

  • Oh god the English on this site is worse than the performance of this phone!! -_- and cmon guys.. music centric phone.. 512 MB ram is enough to give you high quality music.. and this phone has adreno 302 and 1.2 GHz dual core processor is good enough for playing high quality games like Dead Trigger 2 and Asphalt 8 without lag..

  • do anyone have this device?what games have you played.plz share

  • White colour is looked awesome and cool. So, White is better choice.

  • White colour is looked awesome and cool. So, White is better choice.

  • white phone or white phone with black bezels.which one looks more classy.

  • What about e 1 sound ? I think sony e 1 like k508i sound because k508 great music

  • This phone speaker deign like sony ericsson k508i great sound

  • Wo wo wo i just saw this e1 on market this evening and i forgot to see the price...im quite excited to hear the sound:-)1 thing i think sony should make this phone like the se lww,i think they should add flash light and music strip light and front cam to make this phone the best music phone.even my old se lww got all these features.one thing im hoping is sony should make LwW2 with stereo speakers with 100db each speaker then i will grab it.

  • I Thinks it would be, here's the reason: It has 100db sound more louder than lww Rich walkman feature (such clear bass, clear phase, clear audio,etc)LWW walkman app doesn't have any sound enchantment except xLOUD. The bad thing is E1 doesn't have stereo speaker like LWW. I'm LWW users. Are u?

  • Sony confirm Xperia E1, Xperia M2, and Xperia T2 Ultra will get 4.4 KitKat update soon

  • rocking

  • Are the speakers better than LWW?

  • Hi. I can't open my widgets anymore. Anyone knows why?

  • You're welcome :-D. Come back later if you want to ask something!

  • @Humming mob and Freakymous Thank you very much for both of u kindness, All of my questions have u guys answer... U guys gave me more knowledge about sony phone especially E1... Once again thank U very much :-)

  • I used ZL stock headset. Those man @hummingmob already explained your question :-)

  • But below mention headsets are CTIA. So you can buy CTIA to OMTP converting cable from ebay or somewhere else.

  • OMTP & CTIA, these are two type earphone.In SE Xperia phone, they are using OMTP and SONY Xperia, they are using CTIA, that means their pin configuration at the jack is different. hence earphone MH410c(Xperia j)which is CTIA type that is not suitable for your LWW. My personal preference is use the MH-EX300AP(CTIA),this earphone coming along with xperia Z, which is not that much loud output but clarity is good. Other option you can choose MDR-EX110AP, this one also good.

  • not too pricey ..but when i compare it to e1 then i dont find its worth(for me).

  • yeah thanks...i wll buy one of these two.

  • Talking about headset, may I know what headset do u use now? I'm planning to buy sony headset but I'm afraid it will not compatible for my Sony Ericsson (SE) device coz even if I buy E1 I still want to keep my SE live with walkman. I once borrow my dad Xperia J stock headset and plug in to my SE live with walkman and it said "Accessory not supported". Same things happen when I used my brother Xperia Tx stock headset. But the weird is my Dad Xperia J stock headset work fine with my SE w200i.

  • I think xperia M is more suitable for you. coz it has 1 GB RAM, camera 5 MP can handle 720p. An above average speaker volume and nice to listen with earphone.Its cost in India is around 12,000INR ($196)or(141euro)

  • Yeah, Xperia M2 is just too pricey for a mid-range smartphone. Xperia E1's quality was loud and clear.

  • I'm totally a cheater :-D. LOL. Yeah, that's make the game too easy to finish. Plastic for the Earth is Samsung motto. ROFL. Samsung was good on multitasking. And another features just marketing strategy (Gimmick). You know, Sony Digital Noise Cancelling Headset inluded on Xperia Z2 Box, anyway. Cool, huh? :-)

  • thanks...m2 is double the price of e1..i wont spend that much money just for the camera..moreover a screensize of 4.8 is a bit big for me...i dn trust motorola music quality so i think am gonna stick to decision of buying e1.

  • Hehe far right... I don't use cheat when playing, I don't like using cheat, it make the game feels too easy and not challenging anymore. I don't like Samsung coz design is not cool and make me bored quickly and the entertainment feature is too limited. Also no enhancers feature (like sony xloud,bravia, etc.) Anyway, I heard Xperia z2 has stereo speaker. Let see if the sound can match with my live with walkman or maybe E1.

  • Android 4.0 ICS, Android 4.1 JB, Android 4.2 JB and Android 4.3 JB aren't support Adobe Flash but you can install it, though.

  • You can go with Xperia M2: 4.8inch qHD display Android 4.3 JB Quad-core 1.2 GHz SD400 Cortex-A7 Adreno 305 1GB RAM 8 Mpix Exmor RS with FHD video recording and Sony Smart Social Camera 2300 MAh battery.

  • I got it, it located on SEA (South East Asia) O_o and very far from here. Really? How can we play same game but different version!? :-D. Yeah, you still can install GBA emulator, though. Anyway, I always use action replay cheat codes. Do you use a cheat too? Samsung low-end to mid-range smartphones are crap and cheap-looking phones, but Samsung Hi-end smartphones are great. And I planned to replace my old ZL with Galaxy S5 or Xperia Z2 (I'm Still confuse, anyway).

  • does dis fone support flash in browser...n does anyone know better(best) headphones for dis set n their price.

  • My requirement is Watch HD movie (720p) and great sound quality throughout headset. pleas let me know about sound quality of this phone through bundled headset.

  • does dis fone support flash in browser...n does anyone know better(best) headphones for dis set n their price.

  • You can go for Sony Xperia M

  • hello guys...i want to buy a low end or mid range phone..e1is my first choice but just want to be sure..the phone should serve these purposes... Looks n feel Music(in headphones only) Camera(video recording as well) Games(cricket,tennis,golf only these three) So is my choice perfect...or should i go for motto g or any other phone you guys want to suggest.thanks in advance.. :-)

  • Ya bro very far Germany-Indonesia, try look on the map :-) Well If u say so, I guess I must say bye bye psp emulator if I buy this phone but that's not a big problem, I still can install my boy app (an gba emulator) on e1 and it will definitely running smoothly. Hey u know what, I play pokemon too Haha :-) but different version: leaf Green, fire red, emerald, and ruby. I'm not interested with m or m2, coz since I have Sony Ericsson live with walkman I only like phone with great speaker, but I only like sony coz rich of entertainment feature not like S*msung.LOL.

  • Indonesia is very far from Germany, isn't it? :-). I think you'll need more RAM at least 1GB RAM to play heavy game such as NFS MW, Dead Trigger, RRC 3, and Asphalt 8: Airborne and you need more advance GPU such as Adreno 305 or higher if you want lag-free experience (no matter if you play a game use emulator). Xperia E1 support up to 2 multitouch. Yeah PSP emulator need at least 4 multitouch. I used DRastic NDS emulator to play Pokemon HG and it need 4 multitouch to activate several Action Replay cheat codes. And Xperia M and Xperia M2 support up to 4 multitouch.

  • Xperia E1 vs. Nokia X Android 4.3 vs. Android 4.1 Google apps vs. Nokia apps 1.2Ghz Cortex A7 vs. 1Ghz Cortex A5 Adreno 302 vs. Adreno 203 1750mAh battery vs. 1500mAh battery 12mm thick vs. 10mm thick Pricier vs. Cheaper There isn't much differences between these two. If you like louder speaker, then choose Xperia E1. If you like cheaper price tag, then choose Nokia X. If I were to choose between these two, I'd choose Xperia E1 simply because of the presence of Google apps. But if you are on a tight budget, then Nokia X is for you. Maybe you can install Google apps afterwards? XDA? The reason why I love Android is customization.

  • The problem is I'm not in Europe I'm in Asia my country Indonesia. And it suppose to be launch today. Anyway bro, I forgot asking about gaming, actually I don't very like games in playstore, I like installing emulator and download the game for that emulator rather than games in playstore. U know PPSSPP emulator in playstore right? I Once install that emulator to my device Sony Ericsson live with walkman and playing "Need For Speed" game but it's laggy? Do u think all PPSSPP game will running smoothly in Xperia e1? Also How many multi touch in e1? Coz I think need at least 4 multi touch for running emulator gamer (coz some game sometime asking to press multiple key at the same time to perform something) FYI, my SE live with walkman spec: Android OS: v2.3 upgradable to v4.0 (I'M now using gb 2.3.4 with moded firmware) Chipset: Qualcomm MSM8255 Snapdragon CPU: 1 GHz Scorpion GPU: Adreno 205

  • I have read Nokia X user opinion forum and one of the guy there said he can play Asphalt 8 Airborne on Nokia X with only 512mb RAM and dual-core Cortex A5. So I think Xperia E1 with better processor (1.2 Ghz Cortex A7) could handle Real Racing 3 with no problem. :-)

  • If you're looking for the Music phone this is the right choice. Even with only 512mb RAM, Android 4.3 can run smooth and quick thanks to light and fast Xperia UI. And I think Sony will give this phone 4.4 KitKat update 3-5 month later. If you're looking for WP skinned phone with no GMS (Google Mobile Services) go with Nokia X. And with 512mb RAM it can run Android 4.1 smooth and quick too thanks to Fastlane UI but NO GOOGLE PLAY STORE.

  • Thanks. But not just this phone but all of Sony Smartphones. That's why I'm still use my ZL today although it's getting old. Feel free to ask everything you want. But I think Xperia E1 already out in the rest of Europe, included my country Germany. What are you waitin' for? Take your buck and get this one!!!

  • Can we play real racing 3 on this phone?

  • If u are music maniac and searching phone for music, then xperia e1 is good choice. If u looking for camera this phone definitely not recommended. If u looking for perfomance then buy high end one (Xperia Z, Z ultra, etc.) So, buy phone depending on what do u need.

  • Haha :-) I keep asking u coz I see u have a wide knowledge about this phone and u active posting something in this phone. Anyway thanks for info, waiting this phone come to my country.

  • should i buy xperia E1 or i ll go with any other option.. plz help mee out

  • GSMarena is right one. Xperia E1 Dual doesn't have Front Cam and Flash. Yes, It does. Dual Sim phone Consume more battery. Battery STAMINA Mode saves you wasted battery drain. It recognises when you�re not using your display and automatically turns off the functions you don�t need, while keeping the notifications you want. As soon as you press the power button to wake up your screen, everything is up and running again.

  • I think you should pay me as your advisor. Just Kidding ;-D, Feel free to ask everything to me.

  • Xperia E1 Dual doesn't have flash or front cam. So, GSMarena is the right one. Yes, it does. Dual Sim will consume a lot of battery. Battery STAMINA Mode saves you wasted battery drain. It recognises when you�re not using your display and automatically turns off the functions you don�t need, while keeping the notifications you want. As soon as you press the power button to wake up your screen, everything is up and running again.

  • Hey bro, do u know what is the different between single sim and dual? Yes I know dual sim is more expensive :-) I mean, in sony site, it said e1 with dual sim has front camera+flash and some people said the information in sony site is wrong also in this site (gsm arena) it said it's not have front+flash camera so which one is true??? Actually I don't like dual sim phone, but if the e1 dual sim has this feature, then why not? Also does dual sim consumption more battery life? Oh anyway, what is sony stamina feature? Hehe :-) Sorry bro, for asking too much question :-)

  • This phone isn't bad at all, to get one thing out. However, I have a massive gripe with the fact that the screen is 4 inches. What the hell? Sony, understand that if people want to buy a 4 inch phone, they won't buy this phone with bare specs. I think a ~3.5 insanely cheap phone with the intent to sweep the masses like old school nokias did, a 4 inch phone that is quite good(exactly like what the xperia m was), EXACTLY 4.3 inch Z2...3...4 Compact(really important, seeing your trend you really want to enlarge compact devices), patch the way through, ~5 inch flagship and some tablets. That is, if I was given the plan for smartphones.

  • I will suggest go for Lg L5 ii both phones have same but Lg L5 ii have 5mp camera and flash.

  • Dont be a fool man,.its a fact.

  • sony xperia e1 both single and dual sim varient is now available on flipkart for rs.8990 & 9750 (dual sim)

  • I don't know, But I think the sound get louder if we turn on the Xloud only. You can't skip track use volume button. Furthermore, maybe we'll know after GSMArena have review the Xperia E1. Walkman button located at the top right of the phone. :-)

  • It will be available in April 11 or 12 2014

  • It will be available in April 11 or 12 2014

  • please tell me when will this phone comes to pakistan

  • I like Sony, but LG F3 is better (only have no radio).

  • Anyone knew when this will be available in europe?

  • It's that true? Where do you live in philippines I'm also in Philippines

  • sony claims it as best smartphone in its class which is true according to me anyway it can record 720p video and the multitouch is up to 10 fingers plus 50 gb cloud storage and 81 hours of music playback time. it is launched today in my country - philippines for 6590 or 146 dollars

  • Does the sound is still loud even if xloud is not-active? Also does xloud give extremely increasing sound? (Not like other xperia brand, xloud only give a little increasing volume). How about skip track via long press volume? And 1 more thing, I still can't find walkman logo and dedicated walkman button :-(

  • I've saw several Xperia E1 hands-on video which demoed Xperia E1's Walkman Player. the sound quality was loud and clear seems like very promising to Music Maniac and Walkman Lover. :-) and about shake control sometime it fails maybe due to pre-production unit. And I think it's better than Nokia X.

  • I've saw several Xperia E1 hands-on video and the sound quality was loud and clear seems like very promising to Music Maniac and Walkman Lover. :-) and about shake control sometime it fails maybe due to pre-production unit.

  • Lol. You said Xperia E1 doesn't have flash!! Do you think Lumia 525 have flash!? TrolLol.

  • Ok let me give it straight to u: Low ram (512 mb): who needs high ram for music anyway. Low internal storage: this is a low end phone so a thing like that can be forgiven. Worst camera and no flash: This is walkman phone, if u complain about walkman that have worst camera, then why u didn't complain about cyber-shot that have low music quality U want buy another brand it's all up to u, but then u will never get the great WALKMAN app. So don't be disappointing if u buy another brand.

  • Ya I think u right, I expecting high bass portion but not too boomy, just like old mega bass. I hope also speaker can be better than my sony Ericsson live with walkman(more loud and more clear). Oh anyway, thanks for price list :-)

  • Low internal memory, only 512 mb ram, no flash for camera. Better options Nokia Lumia 525 (or) S duos 2 (or) Lg L5 ii.

  • I think it's depend to Sony Xperia E1 sound quality. Xperia E1 available to buy through Sony Store on the rest of Europe. In the UK, the Xperia E1 priced at £159. Then, in France priced at �139, in Sweden priced at 2,399 SK, in Spain priced at �199, in Netherlands priced at �149, in Italy priced at �119, and �117 in Germany.

  • I think it's depend to Sony Xperia E1 sound quality. I think for now Xperia E1 only available for Europe through Sony Store. For Asia it will launch later. In the UK, the Xperia E1 priced at £159. Then, in France priced at �139, in Sweden priced at 2,399 SK, in Spain priced at �199, in Netherlands priced at �149, in Italy priced at �119, and �117 in Germany.

  • Its depends upon the sound quality of xperia E1. Usually Sony provide, MH410c(Xperia J headset) for low end mobile phone.

  • Thanks for info... Ok back to e1, what about if we change the stock headset with clear bass headset, does the sound can match with MEGA BASS? I also have old w200i with mega bass supported, I try listening with HPM 64 + XPERIA J headset wow it soo awsome. Oh also If I don't wrong, Xperia E1 now launch in Worldwide, but I don't know if already available in all country.
