With so many carriers, plans and promotions, we know that making a call to someone who has the same carrier as you can be cheap. But when it's for a different operator we know it will be salty for the 's pocket.
The alternative that many Brazilians followed was to have more than one cell phone, we commonly see people with 2 cell phones, and some even with 4 cell phones. Aware of this, manufacturers are increasingly investing in the launch of cell phones with the capacity to use 2 chips, since it has been a growing need in Brazil for a long time.
Announced in December 2012, the Xperia E dual comes to compete with some Android smartphones that already have this capability, such as the Galaxy S Duos (see here).
Layout and finish 3t6v1m
O Xperia E It feels very comfortable in almost any hand. Its dimensions are 113.5 x 61.8 x 11 mm, excellent for those who are not looking for a smartphone giant.
He has 115.7 grams, and considering its size, it's not a very light cell phone, but it's far from being heavy either, I'd say it's a good weight to have a good grip without bothering.
With an elegant and simplistic design, rectangular and black with silver edges, the Xperia E uses a common standard between smartphones, but with traits that show he has his own identity and is not trying to look like anyone else.
The back has a kind of rubberized plastic that gives a lot of grip and feeling of durability.
Removing the back cover wasn't simple at first, unlike all the devices I'd used. It requires you to press down with your fingers on the lower sides (unlike most that require you to pull the case out). I was only able to remove the cover thanks to the manual, but I can say that, although the first time is difficult, once learned it becomes very simple and easy. You don't need strength, just a way.
Operational system 1a5246
The device comes with Android Ice Cream Sandwich (4.0.4). When turning it on, an update message appeared, but because it is only 0,1 MB and I need a computer, I decided not to update. For the size it must be some Update minor bug fixes. I thought it was a shame they didn't update it by OTA (Over The Air), because it's simpler for the common .
O Launcher it's the same as the line Xperia. A novelty is the energy bar in the notification bar. I don't know if it's the first device in the line Xperia to bring this, but it was the first one I tested.
In summary, I like Sony's launcher because it's not that intrusive, it brings some useful widgets and it doesn't remove the default Android look so much.
There is also a feature called Smart connect, which I haven't been able to test much, but it seems to be interesting. From what I saw the idea is that the cell phone will act in a certain way when it is connected to battery, depending on the time. It's like a little piece of the Tasker program, which aims to automate some actions. He, for example, puts the smartphone silent when connecting the device to the charger overnight, and has some other settings.
Display 525kg
O Xperia E I have a modest screen, with only 3,5 inches and resolution of 320 × 480 pixels, which results in a density of 165ppi. The colors and brightness are good, but the screen is a little compromised by the resolution, leading us to say that this is not a strong point of the device. But I it's a Low-end, that is, a smartphone cheap and modest settings. So it's in line with your competitors.
speed and performance 4i236u
The processor is a Cortex-A5 de 1 GHz, which I think is fair for today's low-ends, and the GPU Adreno 200, together with 512 MB of RAM.
In practice it is very agile in system navigation and simple applications, in addition to running some very fun 3D games. Tested Minecraft, Toy Story Smash It e GTA Vice City and the fluidity level was very good, GTA VC was low FPS but still playable. surprising for a smartphone of that category.
Apps 15250
Applications pre-installed on the Xperia E dual did not displease me. In addition to the standard Android apps, useful apps like Twitter and Evernote are already installed, but the best thing is that they are not installed as system apps, so if you don't use them, just uninstall them.
App compatibility is also good. I didn't miss any popular apps and all tested apps are working perfectly.
video playback 3c1239
O Player native video is pretty limited, I tried running a .mkv video and it didn't work, but don't worry, the player Android's native is just like that. Therefore, there are several alternatives such as MXPlayer, BSPlayer and several others.
After ing the MXPlayer I ran the test again and it worked. I can't say it was very fluid, but I managed to watch it. ing once again that this device is doing things that few smartphones of the category perform.

Camera (Photos and Videos) 3v4gx
A back camera it has 3.15 SM with the resolution of 2048 × 1536 pixels and the video is VGA, it's not much, but it's expected. O smartphone I don't have a front camera. Let the photos speak for the camera, as in these cases data alone is not enough.
O Xperia E dual It also has an exclusive camera button, which we all know how much easier life, especially when we want to use the rear camera.
The footage is included in the video at the end of the article.
Storage 225u60
A internal memory is de 4 GB, but only 2 GB is accessible to the . Sony made that division that I don't particularly like, leaving 738 MB as Phone memory and 2,01 GB as total space. I particularly prefer when the memory is unified, but as they left an acceptable value for internal memory, future problems can be much smaller. There is still the possibility of using a microSD of up to 32 GB.
Battery Life 2ts55
A battery é Li-Ion with 1530 mAh. It performed well with my moderate usage between tests. Despite having a good amount of mAh for the size of the screen, it certainly won't do miracles.
In short, it's more of the same as other smartphones. If you use it heavily, it will probably need to be charged once a day.
GSMArena has a more in-depth test on the device's battery. (Here)

Conclusion 60664y
The market for dual chip is warming up, and that only comes to our benefit.
O Xperia E dual It is very stable, can run interesting games and can meet the needs of most s. It takes basic activities like reading emails, accessing social networks and still s 2 chips. Not to mention the affordability compared to its competitors.
I really liked the device, it seeks to be affordable and not a super smartphone. Although it has some limitations, it does what it sets out to do very well. If you are in need of a dual-chip and don't usually play heavier games and don't want to spend that much, it's more than recommended.
