Sony Xperia M2 is a low-end model released at Sony's spring new product launch. The configuration is relatively low-end, but the appearance design is also good. It is the model launched by Sony in order to enrich its low-cost Sony mobile phones. Now let's experience how this mobile phone performs.
Basic configuration:
CPU: Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM8226 1.2GHz quad core processor. GPU： Adreno 305。
Screen: 4.8 inch TFT, 960 * 540 resolution.
Main camera: 8 million pixels, front camera: 2 million pixels.
RAM：1GB，ROM：8GB， The maximum support is 32GB TF card expansion.
Others: NFC, Bluetooth 4.0, 2300 mAh battery.
Let's take a look at the appearance of this machine: The Xperia M2 uses a 4.8 inch screen, which is not too big to hold in your hand. There is no problem with single hand operation.
On the top of the screen is the earpiece, under which is the Sony logo, and on the right is a 2 megapixel camera.
M2 also uses the design of virtual keys.
The top is a 3.5mm headphone connector.
On the right side are the Xperia style large power key, volume key and camera shutter.
There is a long dust plug above the power key. When opened, the slot of the dual SIM card is inside.
Close up of the shutter key. The shutter key protrudes very short, and the key press is also very short, but the two-stage shutter is still retained. Sony's technology level is really good.
On the left, USB interface and TF card slot.

In addition, the bottom design of M2 is unique. The outer layer is wrapped with a filter screen, and the speaker is also in the filter screen. The right side is the cell phone hanging hole.
The back is also a piece of plexiglass, the top is an 8 megapixel camera, and the right is a fill light and noise reduction microphone. Below the camera is the NFC, and there is a SONY sign in the center.

Although the Xperia M2 only uses the TN screen, the viewing angle is not very bad, but it is true that the brightness of the screen is also low, the permeability is also low, and in addition, it is not fully fitted. Compared with the IPS full fit screen of some high-end models, it will certainly be much worse.
However, the breathing lamp of Xperia M2 is very cool. When viewing the picture, it will automatically extract the most gorgeous color from the picture as the color of the bottom breathing lamp.
For example, if red is the most gorgeous color in this picture, red will be extracted as the color of the breath lamp.
On the system side, Xperia M2 also uses the operating system based on Android 4.3, and also uses the virtual key design. The drop down bar and other aspects of the design have Sony's style, which is different from the native Android design.
In addition, the design of the secondary menu is also retained, and the setting interface can be called up by drawing to the left on the first page, where you can unload the program and arrange the program.
The setting interface is basically based on native and adds its own design style. The major change is that there are independent connection options for Sony in the Xperia connection.
On the desktop, you can call up the desktop widget menu by shrinking your two fingers. Sony also has some very convenient widgets, such as the photo wall, music player, and photo shortcuts. There are also various photo application shortcuts in the photo shortcuts. It is very convenient to open some shooting methods.
In addition, there are several installed themes in the machine, but they are just changing some colors, and the changes are not significant.
The score of the entertainment rabbit is 17651, which is very low. After all, it is only a Snapdragon 400. From the 3D score on the right, we can see that the 3D performance is also weak.
SunSpider， The final score was very poor, up to 1324 ms (the higher the value, the worse).
VELLAMO， The running score was also average.
In terms of watching videos, Sony's own movie application also does a good job. After selecting different videos, the application interface will extract the main color of the video cover as the background color, and then extract a short segment from the video to preview at the top. The effect is very good.
Trailer of Killer 5, 1080P, MP4 format. Play smoothly.
The Big Bang Theory 1080P, in MKV format, plays smoothly.
In addition, when playing, the virtual key at the bottom will be automatically hidden, which will not hinder the viewing effect.
Iron Man 2 is 1080P, MOV format, and cannot be played by its own player. It can be played smoothly by downloading the soft decoding of a third-party player.
In terms of games, we have tested some large-scale games. Pacific Rim can run smoothly, but there is a problem with some maps, and there will be black shadows.
As for "Temple 2" and other small games, of course, they can run smoothly.
This was taken by Xiaobian downstairs of the company. Because Sony's machine metering cannot be linked with focusing, the shooting effect is not good in many cases.
This was shot by M2 with HDR effect enabled. Fortunately, the performance effect was quite good, which saved some dignity.
Normal mode shooting.
Turn on HDR shooting. After turning on HDR, the color representation will be much lighter, and of course, the shadow details will also be available.
Normal mode.
In HDR mode, the color is still slightly distorted.
Macro shooting.
Because the aperture of M2 is not very large, the background virtualization effect is not very obvious.
The white balance problem of M2 is also obvious. This picture is a bit inexplicably purple, and the gray road behind (refer to the above figure) has turned to lavender.
It can only be said that this machine is low-end configuration after all, and its performance in all aspects is not very satisfactory. However, in terms of price, it is rumored that this machine also needs a price of about 2400 to buy. Compared with the current Chinese market, there are too many choices at 2400. If it was not sold by Sony diehard or bundled operators, I'm afraid this machine would not be popular in the Chinese market.
