Eigentlich ein schönes Smartphone: tolles Design, flüssige Bedienung und schnelle Verbindungen. Doch angesichts des Preises muss auch ein gute Kamera zu erwarten sein – mindestens jedoch eine, die ausreichend gute Fotos knipst, und das schafft das M2 leider gar nicht. Alternative: Das Alcatel Idol 2 Mini S oder das Motorola Moto G LTE bieten ähnliche Leistung jedoch mit besserer Kamera.

The Sony Xperia M2 certainly looks like a premium smartphone, but carries a surprisingly mid-range price tag. With a more impressive camera and more storage, we'd be really impressed with the Xperia M2 for that price, but we think you can get more for your money elsewhere. It's worth investigating the cheaper Moto G, or if you've got a little extra budget the Google Nexus 5 is worth a look, as it has a lot going for it and is still under £300.

Well built and designed, and with great battery life, we can't be too harsh on the Xperia M. Performance an connectivity is good enough, but these days for this price we want better from the display and camera. Not a bad phone, but there are better rivals on the market.

First impressions of the Sony Xperia M2 are positive. Sony has managed to create a mid-range phone that maintains a premium feel. It's old Android and the camera has a low pixel count but you still get a quad core processor and a great battery....

It has a few screen limitations, but I expect the Sony Xperia M2 will sell well on the high street. It has much of the visual snazziness of Sony's more expensive phones while selling at a fraction of the price. However, if you're a bargain hunter and don't mind missing out on 4G, the Moto G offers a pretty alluring alternative.
