Review after two days of heavy usage.
Im writing this review so that someone might find it useful.
I have been using ios since last three years and wanted to change to Android device but was confused about the device i should buy and my range was between 20-25k. The first thing i wanted in my device was good built quality and thus samsung and Motorola were never an option for me. Second thing which i wanted was a good display and thus my choices were limited to sony and htc.
So here are the good things about c4:
-Good built quality
-Good fornt cam but im not satisfied with the back cam.
-Very rich display and ui
-Very good customized layer on top of Android
-The device dosent heat as most of the other unibody devices do
-Decent battery backup
-Very nice headphones out put
Cons of the device:
-As said earlier, not good back camera this is really disappointing for me
-Bad audio output from the speaker
-Takes a lot to time to charge
-Too big to be honest. Even though the weight of the device is not too heavy but we could have done with a 5.2 inch display. This could have improved the battery life too
-Back panel of the mobile is fingertips porn and i dont like it.
Haven said all that the pros of the device are more than the cons for me and the fact that it supports dual sim and external card is a plus. So all in all its a good mid range device which is built to last for couple of years.

Ramesh , 26 Jul 2015I had recently one week back purchased Sony Xperia C4 dual everything OK but while calls recei... moreIs your screen have protection film which cover the front censor at top center next to speaker? I had the same issue on the first day i bought C4, then found out giving space for the censor and problem solved. Use the C4 film protection which have a hole at the censor. If not because of that, you need to request a Seller to change a new one for you then. C4 is good, strong RAM, smooth function, but Lollipop 5.0 currently is driving me crazy. Waiting for next upgrade to 5.1 in August.

many ppls r confused between htc desire 826 xperia c4 and m4 aqua.. for them i wud say plz just read the reviews and u will get a better picture... htc desire 826 is more problematic than m4 aqua. c4 is best among these 3 models, just its battery is a bit weak but not that much, if u r not a heavy user then it can last a full day, everything else is good in c4 (plz read gsm arena review). m4 aqua is a good phone but it has heating issue and camera is not very good (c4 camera is better than m4, both front n back).

OK time for an update of my review on the C4 after almost half a months use.
It indeed is a very charming device but I have noticed a few stutters here and there. No its not during gaming it's just random. Sometimes it tends to respond a bit sluggish. But the next moment it's pretty much running fine again. The biggest bump I have noticed in my experience with this phone is while using Skype. Although it's excellent on Skype video chat, sadly sometimes the app gets stuck particularly during the initial few minutes of the Skype call. After trying many things I'd conclude that the behavior is very random and it's hard to pin point weather it has something to do with the app or the UI dealing with the app or an app running in the background. The only thing that I've found for sure is that it mostly happens when you are rotating the phone, the camera gets stuck so much so that even if you force close Skype and try to access the native camera app it gives an error message that the camera is already in use or something like that. The only way to settle the situation is by restarting the phone. The behavior is pretty unpredictable as at one time it may get stuck right at the beginning while at the other no matter what you do it doesn't get stuck and you may do it a hundreds of time as I did in the process of checking the matter. I have already sent the auto generated error message, let's see if Skype or Sony would do something about it.

There is large majority that hasn't faced such an issue. I am however, going to update my view with the device after almost half a month use right after this message.

Trever, 25 Jul 2015"Phone idle" eats 76% of my phone's battery, is it normal?I don't think so. Because i am using my phone with data on for the whole day. The battery remains good. I think you have installed some apps that are frequently restarting find out and uninstall then it will be fine
