another dual-sim to wait for the release, still i don’t see enough difference between xperia c.
difference between this and xperia c: 4g lte, decrease in battery (2390 mAh in xperia c while this one has 2300 mAh), 8GB internal storage, change a little bit in structure/design, reduce display screen by 4.8-inch.
does it support to preferred install location (internal storage / SD card)? if not then this is no good.
of course it should support, it only has 8GB (3GB for system / 5GB for user accessible).
yes, you can expand it by using microSD card, hey guys, which is the best chipset/cpu/gpu? Xperia C’s (MediaTek MT6589 + Quad-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A7 + PowerVR SGX 544MP) or this xperia M2 (Qualcomm MSM8926 Snapdragon 400 + Quad-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A7 + Adreno 305). Which is worth to have?
if you are into gaming, i would go for Xperia C and also if you not interested on LTE connectivity and NFC. Xperia C is also smooth and responsive within hours of usages.
