Still using my old Xperia J in Sept 2024 BUT 3G cut off imminent. SP (Three Hutchinson) advised I must buy new 4/5G phone to continue using their network. True I can't much use internet on it; no longer acts like a smartphone! But still good for calls & SMS texts. Solid! Good old Sony! But industry needs us to keep buying new. Trying to find ways of transferring data off handset now. Boohoo!

I like this phone ... the battery is long lasting even though I have used it for 10 years ... but the RAM is very small .. only 512MB so when playing the game it will lag badly ... the game I installed is First Touch Soccer 2015. .. only a few games can be installed because the storage is very small just like the Ram ... the storage is 2GB ... but everything about the phone is still good

I've used this phone in the past, great device especially the music app. But it has the tendency of heating up to the level you won't dare to stick it on your cheek during phone call

Looking for a cheap Android with these exact specs: 1GHz Single-Core/Dual-Core processor with 512MB RAM. The reason is that I have tried both iOS and Windows Phone with a 1GHz processor and 512MB RAM (iPhone 4 and Lumia 520) and I have never tried Android with the same specs as these 2 phones. The Xperia J is a good option I think, any suggestions?

I had this phone since 2012 until 2013, I did not recommend it, it gave me a lot of problems. 4 months of use and it started to be really slowly.

I bought this phone back in 2012 to be my backup phone and it worked well..... as long as you don't install anything.
1. Phone is just too slow
2. The screen, started to act up 3 months in. It started to become unresponsive to touch in one part of the screen
3. The screen unresponsiveness became a very big issue after a few more days. almost the entire screen could not recognize touch/clicks
4. I contacted SONY support - what they told me will shock you!
5. They told me that if I bring the phone to the SONY service center, it will take 6-12 months to repair due to lack of parts needed to fix the phone
6. I ended up throwing the phone in the garbage in just 3 months.
This phone is basically a garbage SONY tried to sell for money. Because you know, SONY!

My J couldn´t even run any other app. Worst phone i´ve ever owned.

Absolutely terrible phone. Was the first smartphone I owned. I can't remember a single positve thing about this phone - actually, the battery was ok, but since the phone isn't capable of running literally any app without lagging, that's only an upside if you only use your phone as a phone.

I've been using this phone for 2 year(2013-2015) and I'm satisfied with it
the display is great...bold color and accuracy...it's bright...the ram is slow.. only runs 512gb ram at that time but I'm don't find any problems with it aside that I cant runs game pretty well on it (I don't really play game on mobiles that much though)...
aside from taking picture or multitasking, this phone is great when i use it to watch movies and listening to songs...since it only support 2g/3g i cant get my connection speed above 10mbps but wifi connection is great...
Bluetooth is great too, i can get it connected to my i mac and transferring files between these 2 machine is easy.. on the other hand the internal storage is small, so small that i kinda get annoyed and had to install micro sd card on it...
what striking me the most about this phone is the design. which is unique to me cuz i never seen any other company had create this kind of design...
i hope that they upgrade the phones though...make the display 5 inch(Bezel-less if possible), bigger ram, quad core chips, better camera mp, bigger storage, bigger battery, USB-C for charging.. keep the design though and NEVER ever remove the headphones jack :)
