The Sony Xperia J on Orange
- Android Ice Cream OS with upgrade to Jelly Bean available
- Rather handsome, stylish chassis
- Good specs; wallet-friendly price
- Sony's xLoud technology on board
What Sony are offering with the Xperia J is a very clever proposition indeed. Ranking firmly in the lower cost bracket, but with the stylish visual appeal of a higher end phone, the Orange Sony Xperia J is at the apex of the decent-specs-but-not-too-expensive pyramid. It's what you might call (and we do, thank you very much) 'affordable premium'.
At 9.2mm slim and with a beautifully curved profile and rubberised back, the J feels pretty sleek in your hand. It might not be the most powerful handset on the market but the 1.0GHz single-core processor ensures that most things you throw at it run smoothly, and unusually for a handset in this price range, it runs on Android's Ice Cream Sandwich OS. With one eye firmly fixed on the future, Sony have also promised for the Orange Xperia J a future upgrade to Jelly Bean OS, which means that you'll be keeping current for a long time to come.
Sony, being the entertainment giants they are, provide an intuitive and attractive method of managing all your tunes via their handy Walkman app, and with up to 32GB of storage courtesy of a microSD slot and Sony xLoud technology inbuilt into the Xperia J, there's really no excuse not to.
So that's what this phone's all about: considered design, solid specs and user-friendly entertainment. What are you waiting for?
