The Sony Xperia J is another smartphone in the Japanese firm's new series of handsets which carry on the design ethos of the late Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc and Xperia Arc S.
Sony is pitching the Xperia J as a smartphone which offers "a stand-out screen size for consumers looking to combine great style with affordability".
We reckon Sony has got it right in terms of design, with the curved, rubberised back of the Xperia J fitting snugly into our hand, and the body feel solid and well built.
It looks very similar to its bigger brother, the Sony Xperia T, which sports the same design, however the Xperia J allows you to whip off the back cover, allowing you to access the full-sized SIM port, micro SD card slot and the huge 1,750mAh battery – which should keep you going all day long.
The Xperia J sports a 1GHz single-core processor, 512MB of RAM and a 4-inch, 480 x 854 TFT display, which sees it fit in between the Xperia P and Xperia U from Sony's NXT range.
The bright, clear 4-inch screen displays Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich well, with the Xperia UI slapped over the top, and text and images appear sharp and easy to see.
The Xperia J runs Ice Cream Sandwich smoothly and although it may not be as quick as the higher powered Xperia T, it is by no means a slouch, and we didn't encounter any unexpected lag or slow down.
To help you snap photos with the 5MP rear camera there's a single LED flash on the back of the Xperia J, and within the app you also get auto-focus, a handful of scene modes and exposure adjusments – all of which are easy to access and understand.
The auto-focus does take a little time to settle, and if you are quick on the shutter button there can be around a three second delay as the focus sorts itself out, meaning you won't be able to snap in quick succession.
