Sony Xperia C3 Dual SIM Expert Review Summary
Expert Rating:
![Ketaki Bhojnagarwala]()
Verdict
There’s no doubt that selfies are very popular, but the need for a device that caters specifically to this feature doesn’t trump the other aspects users are looking for, namely, performance, battery life, and value for money. The C3 Dual scores well enough on all these fronts, but despite being an all-round device, is still a pricey proposition. Launched at a price of Rs 23,990, it`s much more expensive than other flagships like the Huawei Honor 6 (review). We won`t even mention the
Pros
- :Front camera takes a good selfie
- Large, bright display
- Excellent battery life
Cons
- Unwieldy for one-handed use
- Boring design
- Steep pricing

At first glance, the C3 Dual looks exactly like a smaller version of Xperia T2 Ultra Dual (review). The large bezels above and below the display are the same, as is the chrome detailing around the edges. The plastic back panel sports a matte finish though, unlike the T2 Ultra’s glossy veneer. The rather uninspiring Sony OmniBalance design continues as well, with no changes to the blocky, rectangular shape.

Large, responsive display

The Xperia C3 Dual’s 5.5-inch display sports a resolution of 1,280 x 720 pixels. Equating to a pixel density of 267ppi, the screen manages to be reasonably sharp, and is fine for reading text. It doesn’t get the X-Reality mobile engine or Super Vivid Mode seen on premium Sony handsets, but still displays a broad colour spectrum, with good viewing angles and brightness.

Say cheese!

We tend to focus more on the primary camera in our reviews, but since the Xperia C3 Dual is a selfie smartphone, we’re going to give the front snapper some extra attention. The 5-megapixel front shooter features a 25mm wide-angle lens, which makes it ideal for taking group selfies. To shoot in a wide-angle 16:9 aspect ratio, you’ll need to tone down the resolution to 3MP.

Software is nothing special

The Xperia C3 Dual runs Android 4.4.2 KitKat, layered with Sony’s custom UI. There’s nothing new or interesting to report, but we’ll take you through the basics.
