A terrible phone. The camera is awfull, it is sluggish and it feels chunky in your hand. Its only saving grace is a decent battery. Had the phone for 2 days and now taking it back and going back to my old xperia ray which is miles better in comparison. Avoid this phone at all costs.

this phone was slow and really unresponsive, and texting on it took forever. the battery % would be lost sometimes without turning it on, and after taking 20 photos said i couldn't take any more because there was no storage left.

Sony XPERIA J: not a great product

I have had the Sony xperia since March this year and would not recommend it to anybody really. Although the phone itself looks nice, has a decent sized screen and a good camera it does not make up for the fact i have had to send it off for repair twice since march.
Pros:
  • good camera
Cons:
  • temperamental
  • easy to break
  • not reliable

rubbish no way would i recommend it

Terrible phone, touch screen goes within weeks, very slow, poor quality, not a lot of data usage. The phone itself is 'sloppy', I've had mine around 6 months and I'm already in need of a new one. The phone is awful and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
Pros:
  • nothing
Cons:
  • everything

Sony Xperia J review Review

At first glance it's devilishly hard to tell the Xperia T and the Xperia J apart, but the difference in raw specifications and overall user experience is as vast as the quality gap between GoldenEye and Die Another Day -- while the former is a relative high point, the latter is something of an
Pros:
  • Appealing design
  • Decent screen
  • Impressive battery life
Cons:
  • Sluggish performance
  • Terrible camera
  • Not much internal storage

The Sony Xperia J brings the styling and software of Sony's top notch Xperia T phone downmarket. Like its Bond-backed bigger brother, it packs a curved plastic shell, but there's a smaller four-inch screen and a lower power 1GHz processor and five megapixel camera.
Pros:
  • There's a lot to be said for the Sony Xperia J's screen size - four inches, just like the iPhone 5
  • It's not humongous, as many flagship Android phone displays now are (The Samsung Galaxy Note 2 stretches a barely practical 5.5-inches across) - you can reach across it with one hand, and for many...
Cons:
  • While Apple, HTC and Nokia crack on with curvaceous, beautiful designs, Sony's smartphone hardware is starting to feel a little lacklustre
  • The smeary black plastic looks and feels cheap, and though arced at the back, the 9.2mm deep phone seems very chunky indeed.

Sadly, the Sony Xperia J's just not worth your time in late 2012: top notch phones that came out earlier this year, like the HTC One X and One S - and even last year's Samsung Galaxy S2 - are around the same price on contract, and much more powerful, and easy on the eye.
Pros:
  • There's a lot to be said for the Sony Xperia J's screen size - four inches, just like the iPhone 5
  • It's not humongous, as many flagship Android phone displays now are (The Samsung Galaxy Note 2 stretches a barely practical 5.5-inches across) - you can reach across it with one hand, and for many...

Sony Xperia J review

Sony's last few handsets have not impressed greatly. They've both been budget offerings, and very similar to each other. The Xperia miro is selling for around £160 while the Xperia tipo is around £120.
Pros:
  • Long battery life
  • Neat hardware design
  • Some handy widgets
Cons:
  • Sluggish
  • jerky performance
  • Poor camera
  • Short on memory

Sony Xperia J Review

Sony has a good track record for delivering decent mid-range Android smartphones at very competitive price points, and the Xperia J is the latest handset to join the party. Its 4-inch display and beefy battery are among the features that make it stand out, at least when comparing specs sheets with...
Pros:
  • Good display
  • Relatively decent battery life
  • Cheap
Cons:
  • Performance is below par
  • Horrible camera
  • The lack of light sensor means you have to adjust the screen brightness manually
  • Annoying physical buttons

Sony Xperia J Review: In Depth

The Sony Xperia J takes on the mid-range smartphone market head-on with its £200 pricepoint, but don't curb your expectations - £200 can get you quite a lot these days. What does the Xperia J bring to the table? A very stylish chassis for starters.
Pros:
  • Great screen
  • Long lasting battery
  • Beautiful design
Cons:
  • Underpowered for price
  • Stuttery user interface
  • Camera exposure issues
