Design and finishing 21wc
Talking about the beauty of Sony smartphones is common, both for those who are fans of the brand and for those who just appreciate the brand's design. The T2 Ultra Dual follows the unique design trend of Sony products, the OmniBalance. When holding the device for the first time, we have the impression that the model is a simpler variation of the Xperia Z Ultra.
The back of the device is made of glossy plastic, this finish is subject to many scratches and fingerprints. On the right side of gadgets, we have the slot for two micro SIM, volume button and power button.
The back has a 13 megapixel lens, an LED flash and some indications such as the field of NFC and the mono speaker. The device weighs 171 grams and is 0,73mm thick.

The 6-inch IPS LCD display features TRILUMINOS and Mobile BRAVIA Engine 2 technologies, which deliver a well-balanced level of contrast and color. The HD definition of 720×1280 pixels was not very comfortable in this screen size, being possible to see pixels and aliasing in the interface.
Unlike most devices with TFT screens, such as theX, the T2 Ultra's screen behaved very well when viewed at lower angles.
Interface and Software g5v3r
The device runs with Android 4.3 (Jelly Bean) and, according to Sony Mobile's website, version 4.4.3 should be released internationally in July. Sony's interface is the Xperia UI, formerly Timescape, with features and characteristics unchanged when compared to other devices in the Xperia line.
The icons are finished goods and have labels and inscriptions in smaller letters, which gives a feeling of sophistication when compared to other interfaces, such as LG's Optimus UI and Samsung's TouchWiz. Sony's proprietary applications are also present on the Xperia T2, such as Walkman, Album, Sony Select and Movies.
Hardware and Processing 1o4h1w
The processing set is not exemplary, but totally acceptable for the purpose of this device. We have a Qualcomm MSM8228 processor, quad-core 1,4GHz, with Adreno 305 graphics chip and 1GB of RAM. With these specifications, it was possible to run the game Sonic Dash (image below), check social networks and e-mail, in addition to streaming music, together with 7 other applications in multitasking.
While some apps may not open immediately, the highest level of stuttering, trailing, and crashing was observed in the interface animations and transitions themselves. Perhaps the Xperia UI requires a little more than 1GB of RAM, to run more smoothly.
Storage 225u60
At this point we have one of the biggest cons of the Xperia T2. Of its d 8GB, only 4GB is accessible. Although it is possible to expand the storage through an SD card (up to 32GB), the available space can compromise the experience when installing games.
It's not difficult to fill 1GB of that space with music cache and streaming data like Spotify, Deezer or Sony's own Music Unlimited. Along with the device, in addition to the package of apps from Google and Sony itself, demos of games such as Plants vs Zombie and Blitz are embedded, as well as secondary services that cannot be uninstalled by the .
Battery 554u5p
With a 3000mAH battery, it was possible to use the device for a day and a half, without heating. In standby mode, the gadget remained on for 4 days, still connected to wifi.
Camera 2xzk
With a 13MP rear camera and a 1,1MP front camera, the quality of the images obtained is satisfactory. With the help of the Exmor RS sensor, it is possible to capture images with good definition and white balance, even in low-light environments.
In the photo below, we have an example of a photo captured, in an environment lit only by a TV and a notebook. The image processing software in Sony cameras tends to increase the noise level of images.
Conclusion 60664y
The experience with the Xperia T2 is very good. The device fulfills the proposal to be ergonomic, elegant and contain unique features implemented by Sony. In its price range or even at lower values, it is not difficult to find devices with 16GB, which guarantees the more possibilities for storage, since the device does not come with an SD card.
