Especially good for dual SIM usage in non-European countries

The unit is used exclusively as a secondary device for Iphone in non-European countries traveling. Background: avoid astronomical roaming costs by using a local SIM with simultaneous accessibility of European number.

For this you need a Quad Band Dual SIM phone. Quadband to make it work on all networks. Unfortunately, many dual SIM smartphones have indeed Quadband, but only on the slow GSM frequency. In the UMTS frequency many devices have only dual-band functionality means it can happen that it is precisely in the target country only the slow GSM frequency is supported. DUAL SIM with LTE I have not found the way.

Premises also: max. about 200 euros.

So if you want to make sure that he can make fast data transfers abroad in any case, is the right place with the Xperia M dual. It even penta-band UMTS. Therefore eliminated the alternatives Acer Liquid E2 (otherwise liked better, slightly larger to me), Wiko Darkmoon and Huawei G700 (is too big) ultimately made.

Further advantages:
- Battery replaceable
- Good size and easy
- Value good for the price
- LED Benachrichtungsleuchte
- SD memory expansion up to 32 GB possible
- 24 month warranty Sony

There are also en few drawbacks:
- The resolution could be higher, but at 200 Euros which is probably ok
- A shift from apps on the SD card is not possible with standard tools or, for example AppToSD. Who wants this must either trust here have admin rights to intervene (I was too complicated), or with the 4 MB internal memory (of which only 2 MB free) content. Photos and music can be, after all, easily store on the SD.
- The permissions of apps are androittypisch very broad and can not be as comfortable as the iPhone or restrict eg some Huaweigeräten / Manage

Practical tip:
Who wants to have and so signaled incoming messages for SMS, Whatsapp, Viber, phone similar to the iPhone with a small number on the app icon (Notifyer), can be achieved with the free app XPERIA install unread. This works very well (just install, then it works), but assumes that you installed the XPERIA home laucher launcher retains as standard.
Who wants to use a different launcher (eg Nova Launcher), the APP Notifyer unread count may use. The device is more complicated (each symbol has to be created as a widget individually)
