I bought for my gf.. I tested everything and let her play..games like asphalt 8 play no problem for the xperia c, and data can move to real sd card which other phone can't do it.. Met probably due to mediatek processor?! Not sure.. Don't worry about the memory storage.. My gf mainly is just fb, line,whatsapp like that only.. And important is dual sim. I gave her 1 sub SIM card for unlimited data, so dual sim is main point.. Same size as xperia z, longer than my ZL a little bit, 0.6cm like that. Overall ok for her..

Put game to high graphics but it's still ok.. Not bad d.. Rm899 in market price everywhere I believe..

Recommend only if u really need dual sim. If not, add on few hundred to get ZL for best deal.. Better processor and 2gb ram.. Plus a lot of better..

haha.. for me, i still prefer high spec and gaming.. 2gb ram is my expectation.. 1gb ram no more.. but for a girl with phone call, sms, social online, xperia C no problem at all.. even short gaming based my experience i feel good.. but cant connect to ps3 dualshock controller as my XZL.

i like some gaming when im was free.. dualshock + gameklip is something special for me.. in future can connected to TV when i finish study and back to home..

now its looks like portable PSP. but many people will wonder why i do it like that.. what i can say here is everyone have their past and their preference.. my children life dont have this kind of things like kids right now.. i play stone and rubber only. now i got some ability, i wish to pay back to my parents and my own lifestyle.. i bought the phone which can support the features so just wish to fully utilise it only..

not really pro gamers that need buy PSP alone or PS3 with rm1k plus.. gaming just to fulfill some of the free time only..

lol, dont know market maa .. was looking looking then was introduced this, cheaper than desire 600 then didn't survey and bought lo ..

desired 600 using better quadcore by qualcomm snapdragon 4.. other than that.. other are almost same ady.. have touched before quite smooth.. but dunno after installed apps.. every phone is smooth enough before apps.. normal daily use i think no problem d.. dont think keep trying to push mid-end phone to play some high graphics games and complain late.. even top hardware also will have lag..

game developer keep update their artitechture as well.. force us feel the older model lag.. haiz

I've been looking around for a dual sim phone, more as a spare and for traveling overseas, and was looking at this model as well. There's actually two categories - one would be the "less popular" brands and the other would be the "popular brands".

For the less popular brands e.g. Lenovo, Huawei, Alcatel and Acer - I think for the amount of money for the Xperia C, you can get a flagship or close-to-flagship model already, sharper screen resolution, more RAM (in some cases, not all), sleeker design (e.g. the Alcatel One Touch Idol X) and also more internal storage and in some cases better camera (well, at the very least, higher megapixel count). For the quad-core entry models that match the specs of the Xperia C, the price for these models would be almost half, for example Lenovo A706 and Huawei G525, ha ha.

For the popular brands, the Xperia C would compete with the Galaxy Quattro and HTC Desire 600 base on price range, the Quattro is priced the same as the Xperia C, while Desire 600 costs RM200 more (Recommended Retail Price). The losing point for the Xperia C is the internal storage (a miserable 4GB) and the screen resolution (in terms of pixel density) loses out to the Desire 600 but tops the Galaxy Quattro. The Quattro also has the inferior camera of the bunch, 5MP.

So I'm still deciding between going for a dual sim phone in the "value for money" first category or the "popular brand peace of mind" second category, ha ha ha.

But if I do go for category two, then it would be Xperia C.

(Oh, I thought I share this, I got a salesperson to install Antutu benchmark on the Xperia C and the results were pretty decent. Tested the phone and it was pretty smooth, though there seems to be a tiny, slight lag when auto-rotating while playing a video...)

It's odd coz u no need worry about internal storage.. In xperia c, u got option to move data of games to real microsd..

For Samsung Quattro, grand and core, all very laggy from my friends and his dad.. But at least I found xperia c still smooth.. I think xperia c only target to consumer who need dual sim and big screen.. Nothing much to complaint since normal user for my gf..

About camera, don't give a f*** feel that can get output like dslr.. It's just normal quality that smartphone will do.. Is aw above got people complain about camera..

accompanied my friend to buy this phone few hours earlier.
not bad for rm885. quadcore (albeit using mtk), 1gb ram, massive battery, dualsim standby and 5 inch screen. came default with jb 4.2.2 summore.

only resolution is disappointing. 540x960 on 5 inch is just doh.gif  doh.gif  doh.gif

normal ppl wont look on the number itself.. and normal ppl wont actually realise and notice very significantly.. the screen is still looks good.. if not looks like "pixel" display as well..
