Xperia M2 belongs to the stylistically top smartphones of the Xperia Z family. Runs on the Android operating system 4.4. The quad-core Snapdragon processor is responsible for the smooth operation of the system. 400 at frequency 1,2 GHz and 1 GB RAM. Adreno graphics system 305 will allow you to launch without any problems, even more advanced games.

Display resolution 540 x 960 pixels has a diagonal 4,8 inch. Image quality is not bad, but up to the leaders, such as Motorola Moto G – far.







Yeah, such times have come, that they are forced not to squander funds from their impoverished wallets. Especially, do not forget, that a stingy person, in pursuit of cheapness, will pay more than once. You also need to look at the reputation of smartphone manufacturers, and reviews about the specific model chosen.
Don't chase cheap smartphones. Now in China the number of smartphone manufacturers is increasing every year. The prices for such smartphones are quite low, and the stated characteristics are impressive. But when you buy such a smartphone, you don’t know, how long will it work. Therefore, it is better to overpay for a smartphone from a well-known brand.
I prefer the Nokia Lumia 735. Nokia has confidently gained popularity due to its reliability and durability. This model is also quite successful: nice screen, a fast processor and a large battery.
