Sony's handset range runs the gamut from the latest high flyer, the new £599 Xperia Z2, through to the middle of the range £239 Xperia SP via the £349 Xperia Z – with a few models in between. Sitting at the most affordable end of the spectrum, the £99 Xpe...

Speaker quality is poor, Sluggish performance, Short on storage...
Sony has tried to differentiate the Xperia E1 from the rest of the budget-level handsets by giving it a music major. I'm a big fan of the Walkman button, and the Walkman app, while not unique to this phone, is feature rich and a nice thing to have. The b...
