Before the reign of Samsung and Apple, it was the era of Nokia and Sony mobile phones. Thought Nokia and Sony no longer have the number one rank in the mobile phone industry, it cannot be denied that these two brands are still giving a tough competition. Let us compare two smartphone devices – one from Nokia and one from Sony. This is to tell which among the two is better and whether Nokia and Sony phones are still worth the money.
The smartphone models that we will be comparing here are none other than the Nokia XL and the Sony Xperia E1. Both of these devices sit at similar price range. The Nokia XL is being sold at a price of $179.99 while the Sony Xperia E1 is available at a price of $149.99, which means it is $30 cheaper than the Nokia device.
When it comes to the dimensions of the devices, the Nokia XL is thinner yet heavier than the Sony Xperia E1. The Nokia device has a dimension of 5.57 x 3.06 x 0.43 inches. On the other hand, the Sony device has a dimension of 4.65 x 2.46 x 0.47 inches. The former weighs 6.07 oz while the latter only weighs 4.23 oz. For most people, it is better to have a thicker mobile phone than a heavier one. Therefore, the Sony Xperia E1 wins this area.
Regarding the camera, the Nokia XL can easily be hailed as the winner in this area. It has a 5MP rear camera. It also has a front camera and has the capability of video sharing. The Sony Xperia E1 only has a 3MP camera and does not offer a secondary camera. For those uses who are into taking a selfie, this device is not recommended.
When it comes to the battery of the two devices, the Nokia XL wins against Sony Xperia E1 again. The Nokia XL offers up to 16 hours of talking time. It also offers 30 days of stand-by time. The Sony Xperia E1 only offers up to 8 hours of talking time, which is just half the talking time offered by its opponent. It only has 20 days of stand-by time. If you want a device that you do not have to charge every now and then, it is clear that the Nokia XL is much better for you rather than the Sony Xperia E1.
