be seen in phones like Galaxy S3. With NFC you can share data very fast by

this price group ($209). Galaxy S Duos 2 also missing this feature.

mode can help to reduce battery drain by closing connectivity features when
phone is idle. So xperia M dual has a good battery backup than galaxy s duos 2.

Dual comes out to be a winner. The previous version Galaxy S Duos has a very
bad performance, it hangs a lot as experienced by its users. You can check the
problems faced by S duos users in comments sections on this post. So if you
previously had Galaxy S Duos then you definitely don’t want to buy Galaxy S
Duos 2 with slight upgrades just to lure you and make you fool. Only the price

expensive than Galaxy S duos 2. If you do not have the price issue then opt for
Sony Xperia M dual with good specifications and great performance.

Sir,
ReplyDeleteThankyou for your suggestion. But pls tel me that sony xperia m dual have wi fi direct or not? Pls reply at my email id hemantk015@gmail.com
Yes xperia m dual has wi-fi direct and is DLNA certified.
DeleteI need an android phone just for, whatsapp, bbm, facebook, gmail downloading torrents on the go and must have good GPS obviously with google maps and it seems S duos 2 is having GPS (31 Sat) and Glonass (24 sat) thus providing a better navigation, but may not be present in the xperia M. Can you please specify me the battery life on using GPS on S duos 2. And will buying s duos 2 for these specific apps and some internet usage be fruitful? Cz I'm an iPad user (wifi only so no dedicatd GPS) and so I don't need much apps for my phone.
ReplyDeleteAfter reading your requirements I would suggest you to buy sony xperia M dual because it has everything that you mentioned in your question above except the GLONASS.
DeleteWell a-GPS support is also very good for gps navigation purposes. My phone doesn't have GLONASS but I always use gps navigation via GMAPS and the navigation is very correct. With a-GPS I always reach at right places.
Now if you use GPS service much whole day on any android phone then battery won't give good results, because you are using GPS and data network at the same time. There is a way to save battery while You are using GPS. Follow the steps.
1. firstly get full directions on GMAPS.
2. now after getting the directions I look for straight roads. Suppose if I have to 5 kms straight on a road then during this journey I turn off the gps and data network.
3. after covering 4 kms I again enable gps and data network and check 'My Location' in Gmaps to check whether I am following the blue line or not.
This trick saves battery very much.
