Sony Xperia C4 Dual

Sony's latest phablet arrives at a market well saturated with large-screen midrange devices. Fighting for the front flash niche the company tried to explore with the Xperia C3, the C4 brings more powerful hardware and a better display to make this a much better rounded package. What's best about the Xperia C4 and, coincidentally, what's its major drawback, can both be found on page 3 of this review. It's hard to find fault with the 5.5-inch 1080p display - the panel boasts high brightness and contrast, and has great viewing angles. Scroll down to battery life and you'll see the Xperia C4 fail miserably and die after 5 and a half hours of video playback. The front camera produces rather disappointing images for its high-res sensor, but the front flash is there to save the day - many a club shots will turn out better with this one than with most flagships on the market. The primary camera does a good job, so long as you steer clear from the unreliable Superior Auto mode. The rest is pretty much all in its favor, though. Performance is towards the top for the class, the interface is Sony's familiar lightly modded XperiaUI, the proprietary apps nicely enhance the experience.
