Everything that has Qualcomm is much better that this crap.
With Mediatek you can't expect unofficial nor even official updates.

Actually this device has everything. More expensive phones aren't "smarter", they have just, you know, more power.
Only internal storage sucks, 8 GB would be enough.
Lollipop?? Its kitkat

E4 is worse than E3 it only give us 0.1 ghz faster cpu for buying crappy mediatek cpu
only good thing in it was 8gb memory and lollypop. if i have to choice a phone i will choice E3 not E4 cuz it has Mediatek cpu.
Guys, say sayonara to lollipop
Well well well guys, we have now a new entry level flagship called Xperia E4 (E3 succesor) . I know that MediaTek chipset are crappy and low power proccesors when you compare it with Qualcomm, please dont get dissapointed or sad about our little E3 D22XX. We must focus on our devices in order to standing out among others.
So, at this point i have made a thinking about the situation: probably we´re not going to get a taste sweet of lollipop. Enjoy CM12! with our powerful E3 22XX
See the new rotten kid on the block

Hi guys, here´s a video from our russian friends showing us the Xperia E4 (isnt a unboxing) and looks very reliable and real. I think the guys are a little bit disappointed because is mediatek (i heard that when they talk)
As you can see even the Xperia E4 has android 4.4 kitkat inside, there´s no lollipop or material design around.
And here we have both devices, head to head, the fight between E3 and E4 in the official sony publicitary spots

It has just two things better in software side:
Grey statusbar and navbar in Sony apps (E3 is the only Xperia that has black navbar and statusbar in sony apps)
Z3 camera, it has improved speed and quality image

However, the phone will have preinstalled Android Kitkat 4.4.4. I find that it does not pay to change trains at him because of the stronger batteries or Ultra mode Stamina
Well, today we received another slap in the face: Xperia E4g LTE with dual Sim and single Sim support is going to be released in April 2015. E4g is just a little bit tiny lower compared with E4 gsm. theres Nothing of improvements because E4g remains with mediatek and Mali instead of Qualcomm and adreno.
In fact E4 and E4g are new low end devices from Sony. its obvious for everyone that economic crisis made Sony reduce quality in new low end devices. that risk chess movement may not keep the Faith in Sony old customers but can invite new users to enjoy the brand.
by the way, I think E3 is better than E4g and E4 because we have everything we need in a solid device(I mean NFC, LTE and good chip set). we dont need dual sim, we only need a better front facing camera and 4 GB more of internal memory, lollipop and that's it!!!.
an enhanced E3 would be a better idea
Root E4 Dual Sim (E2115)
Hello, i had unllock bootloader of this phone (model E2115), but i can not root it.
Does anyone know how ?
Thanks
I bought one yesterday on the local vendor and I can say right away, it's horrible. I can't believe Sony launched this crap as a mid level smartphone. I had a Mlais Mx28+ that was more "machine" than this E4.
At first impression the THICK design was what made me hate it right away.
137 x 74.6 x 10.5 mm (5.39 x 2.94 x 0.41 in).
When I've opened the back cover, surprise surprise, No removable Battery...
For a brand that stands out as a green loving enviromental group, this option makes us wonder... Who are you? Apple?
On the rest part it's all the same as the phone I had. But mine costed only €79...
Here's a thought. Ask what users want in a phone, compromise it the best you can and try not to think just about profit.
I'm going to turn this back.

Hello,
go to that site :
http://developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/
and select from the List "Sony Xperia E3" because E4 is not in the list, but is working. Follow the procedure step by step.
My advice is, DON'T Unlock your bootloader yet, because you will cannot update the firmware after that. Wait o few months to get some updates and then Unlock.
Although, there is a tool and a procedure to get back to a stock ROM and Relock the bootloader, but is not working for E4, because E4 is not fully supported yet.
Root xperia e4.
For root xperia e4 use kingo Root, it works with me.
so you guys are saying xperia E3 is a better phone than xperia e4?

hi , i have finally saved enough money to buy unlocked either xperia z or galaxy s4 , i have researched on gsm arena, cnet etc websites and all of them say the galaxy s4 has some good hardware and features and xperia z has awesome design but less features , i currently want the phone with the most developer support for custom roms and stuff , the problem is the galaxy s4's variant with quadcore is available here , can any person who has used both phones recommend which one is better ? no fanboyism please thanks :highfive:
I would take xperia z
Reasons
Snapdragon based... So sources are available and thus developer friendly..
Awesome looks
Water proof so u don't have to worry abt rains or toilets or tubs
Regarding s4 octa core...
Poor developer support... No sources... And belive me 8cores dun work SIMULTANEOUSLY
regarding quad core variant... A bit similar to xperia z ... And again snapdragon so MAY get good support...
My pick xperia z ...
http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/reviews/...galaxy-s4-vs-sony-xperia-z-comparison-review/ says the battery is same but users here claim s4 has more battery life ? , tbh it doesnt bother me much even if XZ has a bit less battery life i think i will go with the xperia z thanks for the quick reply anyway.
Xperia z ftw! Simply because Sony is way more supportive to developers than any other oem out there

I bought the Arc s as in my opinion its the most stylish phone and good specs for my needs.
I was going to upgrade to the Z but it does not have a removable battery.

The answer is clear: Moto G, 4G LTE version from 2013 or you can buy 2014 version but it doesnt have 4G for now. maybe later Motorola will release a 2014 4G LTE version of Moto G.
Quad core CPU, Android Lollipop 5.0 update granted for this year, HD display, 4.5" on 2013 and 5" on 2014 version plus stereo speakers on 2014, highly customizable with Moto shells with a lot of colors, great cameras on 2014 version, and it costs 179$ for 8GB and 199$ for 16gb plus SD slot on 4G version and 2014 version. What else do you need? :good:
thank you MarckozZ. but i prefer sony in 1st place.how about sony xperia ZR and xperia C3 ? which is better ?

Nice phones, but are they in your budget?
The Xperia Z is a really nice phone too, slightly better than the ZR, and almost the same price. Check that out too. Plus, now that the Nexus 6 has come, the prices of the Nexus 5 might have fallen, and that's an amazing phone as well.
If your budget is closer to the Moto G range, the best phones, in my opinion, are the Moto G (any version, really), Xperia E3, and the ASUS ZenFone 5. Not sure if any of these has LTE, though.
Also, in the range between these is the first-generation Moto X - also a pretty amazing phone.
thank you dude and you mean to say sony xperia Z out does ZR ??

Not sure if actually budget in the US, ($199 on a 2 year contract) check out the HTC desire eye. Don't go with sony unless you go with the equal of the Z range. I'm speaking from experience (Xperia Tipo, Xperia U, Xperia Jlo)
Otherwise, check out motorola or even an older Nexus will do.
If you would check nexus 5, check lg g2 - It's price is similiar, but better than n5 in some aspects. Xperia z is an older phone, but I guess it would do ok too, same goes for zr
If you want something cheaper, then there is a big choice in the mid-range - moto g lte as mentioned before, Lg f60, f70 and f90 should be a good choice too, also g3 s and g2 mini. Htc one mini 2, desire 816, maybe desire 610.
As for sony, there's xperia e3, c3.

I am looking to buy a new phone. The Galaxy S5 is the preferable option over the Xperia z3; they are both the same price. However, the Xperia z3 has 3gb of RAM compared to the S5's 2gb. How much real world performance does this translate to?

So what's the problem, mate?
The E3 has a fully grown up OS version. Probably will receive the 4.4 update, just like the dual-sim variant and it will be OK.
I don't understand all the hype surrounding the 5.0 version. Not even all the top-rangers from last year got the update.
They are still launching new models with Kit Kat on board.
Moving on from this point of view I've read a lot of threads regarding both official AND custom builds of 5.0 and in all these threads users are complaining about some serious memory management problems. Putting it clear the RAM management, at this moment, is worse on Lollipop than on Kit Kat. I have a friend with a LG G3, the version with 3GB RAM and after the update he also noticed that the memory management is worse.:laugh:
So my true and sincere advice is to be happy with a fully optimized OS version than unhappy with a buggy-first-cycle-of-life version of the same OS which you will probably use just the same I have a SGS4, the I9505 version with Snapdragon 600 CPU which is scheduled to receive Lollipop but I'm not in a hurry to install it. Both the I9500 (Exynos) and I9506 (Snapdragon 800) variants of the SGS4 received it already and everyone reports lots of bugs. I'm not saying that Sony is above or bellow Sammy, but the OS is the same so the problems will be the same. And if you wonder what am I doing on this thread let me just say that I bought my father an E3 as a gift So I'm keeping a close eye on it :cyclops:
So don't worry and enjoy the phone because it's a perfect mid-ranger! Cheers and all the best :highfive:
Perfect mid-ranger with only 4GB of internal storage (whilst E4 comes with double that storage at 2/3 of the price of E3 + better front camera)? At least lollilop would solve the internal storage issue to some extend.

I dont,t think if we have ram problem lollypop will be usefull at all.as he told 3gig,s of ram had problem.
Storage is not an issue i have 7gigs of games on my sd with 1 gig free internel storage.
E4 is reallly lost everything from e3 e4 has super small datacable for charging. Fully crap.it,s like sony just reduced quality to make a low price phone. Even micromax had better phone than e4. And yellowness in display is worse thing. Just grab e3 instead of e4.
I reallly love sony for build quality. Which it lost in e4.
Don,t know why but i really think of samsung like micromax and other,s.

Excuse me, but can you name at least 5 apps or games that worked on 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich and don't work anymore because of the OS update? And 4.0.4 is how old by now? I quote: "Release to manufacturing: October 19, 2011". Aham! That's like 4 years ago Think you going to keep the E3 for at least 4 years? In fact let me tell you that Xposed doesn't have a stable version on 5.0 yet. And that's a main reason for a lot of people not to upgrade to 5.0.

Every one have their own thinking Bro....all d best
So sad but is not the end!!
:crying: Guys, dont talk so fast!!!
Not necesarily we have bad luck.
Remember guys, there´s an AOSP development for mid and low range 2014 Xperia devices such as: E3, M2, T2 ultra, T3 and C3. That devices may receive lollipop through official or unofficial way after Z series.
I know you are going to say: AOSP is not a requirement for make a final and stable version. But, Why was the reason sony released an AOSP?
http://developer.sonymobile.com/kno...e/open-devices/list-of-devices-and-resources/
http://developer.sonymobile.com/201...ased-2014-xperia-devices-now-supported-video/
Even if is not lollipop for us, we can keep with kitkat, keeping on mind the highest KK stability compared with released 5.0.1 or 5.0.2 lollipop versions.
I know AOSP is bug filled, but some developers are working in that issues. Theres no CM12 stable version for Flamingo (E3) but @freexperia is working at least in LTE E3 devices.
Yesterday, Unofficial Xperia Blog reported some screenshots of Xperia C3 running something like lollipop in chinese market, but it may be fake
http://www.xperiablog.net/2015/03/0...enshots-emerge-could-it-be-landing-after-all/
And also, dont let intimidate by three or four tweets or android related blogs with the bad new. We should wait the official confirmation on Sony Xperia official blog.
BTW: if Sony really dont want update 2014 models and just update Z series and upcoming 2015 models, they will lose market quota. Sony is not good in the mobile market, forget the users and dont listen them can be a mistake for Kazuo Hirai´s company.
And here is the final comment: my next phone will be from motorola or another brand updateable, because Sony, LG, Samsung, Alcatel and others forgot low and mid range devices, thanks to the high fragmentation of the premise "Same but different"
People change its devices each two years, so, we never will get the latest version of android on any device, even if the device has infinite ram, processor and storage! Certainly the true is many people get/buy a low mid range instead a high and expensive flagship
We should support cyanogenmod or develop our android versions for stop programated obsolescence! Look, android versions rolling in the world: 2.3 4.0.X 4.1.X, 4.2.X 4.3.X 4.4X, 5.0.X. This is not fair for users!!! Android is doing bad, they should follow iOS example and keep updated even the legacy devices on all brands!!

screen work (no resume from sleep bug), but no wifi/baseband/camera
can it be possible?
Positive signs:
Well, I cannot assure nothing, but could be possible because Sony have an active AOSP development over 2014 Xperias (included E3). The thing here is we need to get official confirmation via blogs.sonymobile.com.
Negative signs:
Keep in mind that AOSP developing is not intended as a direct confirmation of lollipop. Is just for developers and bug chasers.
Positive signs:
For E3, there´s cm12 via free xperia team (FXP, stable and usable without camera) and an AOSP 5.0.2/5.1 filled of bugs to be not used daily (nothing works)
Currently, just mid range devices like Xperia C3 and T2 Ultra are going to taste lollipop officially (previously announced from Sony).
Negative signs:
For E1, E3, M2, M2 Aqua and T3 theres no official confirmation yet. I have serious doubts about E1 and E3 because sony consider them as low end or entry devices, and M2/ M2 Aqua and T3 are considered mid range devices.
Possitive signs:
In addition, E3, M2 and T3 are all hardware capable (1.2 Ghz+ of processor and 1 Gb RAM) to afford lollipop inside. Maybe even E1 can afford it, but i have my doubts due to hardware in it (just 512 Mb RAM).
Comparing our situation with Motorola, Moto E 2014 is closer to xperia E1/E3, Moto G 2013 is closer to Xperia E3 and XperiaM2/M2 aqua is compared to Moto G 2014. So, following that basis and thinking in the fact sony is the only company updating mid range devices at this time, so, in that basis is highly probable we can have lollipop (due to hardware capabilities).
Negative signs:
Now, if you think in Sony new devices, we are in danger to get obsolete. Look at 2015 mid range Xperias confirmed at this date: Xperia E4, E4g and M4 Aqua (maybe they ship with kitkat or lollipop). So, in order to motivate people to buy them, Sony can drop off their intentions to update the E3 and M2 references. You know, programated obsolescence. But theres a temporary relief: this new models are not fully dispersed around the world, and slow distribution can give time to sony guys to release official lollipop (and us) for give shape to cm12 in case of a negative answer from the japanese company.
Also, remember the false promess of sony to update Xperia SP, a 2013 mid range device that was hardware capable to get kitkat or even lolipop inside. That is an important background to keep in mind.
Now, Sony is working "very fast" in order to bring the new android experience for their devices. Soon or later, maybe we can taste lollipop. We should wait patiently until sony announces a good or a bad new for us.
In case sony confirm us positively, remember that D2002/2212 models update first, followed by LTE models (via ota, pc companion or via xperifirm-flashtool)
My final answer for you @Fliopp3rix is: theres uncertain. The answer is not "yes", is not "not", and is not "maybe"
