I wonder why Sony launched this phone? Especially at the MRP of Rs. 37,990(Approx $560) although you can buy it for around Rs. 32,000 – 34,000($500) in the market currently. But still, it’s like Sony sent a soldier from their cavalry to fight a war without any ammunition. In other words ‘dead on arrival’.
See the screenshot above? Every(Well, most of the time) i turn on my laptop that MSN homepage opens automatically in my default browser. Which is Google Chrome. Hell, even the browser itself opens automatically. And in chrome, i don’t even have that page set in open default or specific page at startup. I have chrome set at open new tabs page. Even that URL msn.com isn’t saved anywhere in my chrome. Microsoft stop hackin’ my laptop!
If Sony had updated the front camera of C4 they would have probably called it Xperia C5. But that wasn’t enough for them so they decided to give it an ‘ultra update’ and made the big screen even bigger. So now, instead of getting an incremental update you’ve now got an ultra version of the ‘missing link'(Xperia C5). Basically what Xperia C5 Ultra is, is it is Xperia C4 on steroids.
Benchmark performance of Sony Xperia C5 Ultra is just like Xperia C4 which is to be expected ’cause both the phones have the exact same chip-set. Mediatek 6752 is a pretty powerful chip-set but it isn’t powerful enough for 1080p displays you can read more about this in the gaming section below.
Now this isn’t an ‘everyone phone’ ’cause not everybody likes a screen this big. But to overcome that Sony tried its best to keep the phone as small as possible with respect to its as big as possible screen size. They certainly did a good job.
In case you were wondering where did Samsung Galaxy J7 vanish to? Well, look above there’s your answer. Good news is anyone who has pre-ordered it will get 1,000 Rupees off from the total amount as a goodwill gesture from Flipkart. Bad news is Flipkart has no idea when it will be released now.
It’s been a long time coming. First Lenovo phone that i wanted to buy was Lenovo Vibe X2. For some reason, didn’t buy it. Second Lenovo phone that i wanted to buy was Lenovo A7000, wasn’t able to buy it in time. I guess this is what they call ‘third time lucky’.
