      Still using this Mobile phone legend as on Dec-28-2024..
      Its been 11 years... purchased in Dec 2013 and the old machine refuse to go dead..
      Almost all android apps including whatsapp stopped working in it as its still running on Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean OS.
      Yet, this robust old timer going on and I am using it for calls, sms, notes, music, calendar, reminders, for taking photos, FM radio, Calculator, Alarms etc


      Not a single hardware issue till now apart from few software resets till 2018-19 times..

      Basically it became like an old nokia feature phone but with touch and camera.. I brought this for almost 20K INR back in those days.. used to have initial regrets at that time but now I feel proud of owning this Goliath of machine.

      I will keep this as secondary mobile even after I purchase another new phone and at this point I am sure it will remain working for another 2-3 years..

            Purchased this phone in December 2013 and its still working smooth as of now in Feb 2022. I Had some initial regrets because of no proper android updates. It was struck at android 4.2.2 even today. But boy oh boy, this phone is almost invincible to most kind of physical stress. Dropped countless times from my pocket, dropped down even from a running two wheeler, forgot and left in rain for almost 15 minutes and yet working like a charm. Yes the phone has many major issues from the begining like very less internal storage, no software updates, front VGA camera. But I got adjusted and got used to them. Right now I use my phone for phone calls, SMS, whatsapp, notes, alarm, listening to music (Xperia music player is the best no doubt in it, even after all these years it still produce crystal clear music provided with a quality earphones). The greatest feature of this phone is its 8MP camera still gives best photos even in 2022. I took many macroshots even it shot ants, grass flowers and even pimples on my face with some much quality and believe me picture quality is way better than redmi's 12 MP camera I did it in 2018). My phone rarely hangs I don't even remember the last time when it got hanged. in 2013-14 times I installed many games like asphalt, subway surfers, temple run etc and used it rigourously like a gaming mobile and as result it gets heated quickly. Later I realised this phone is meant only casual usage so from the last 5 years haven't installed and played any games.
            I rooted it after 1 year and uninstalled some bloatware and got even more space.
            I'm planning to use this untill December 2023 as it will become 10 years from its purchase date and let the mobile phone legend will rest after a decade usage.

                It's an awesome mobile..
                Still I'm using that legend....
                At 2013, it's really look amazing on its features, but now many of us mentioning that it's having some bad features... It clearly informs that, our usage has been increased...

                I'm willing Sony to provide such a fabulous mobiles...

                  Too few memory and too low android version. A wechat app could fill up almost all of it's memory.
                  I used to have 2 but died when updating them to 4.4 kitkat. The latest version of youtube that can run on 4.2.2 is older than the latest that can start properly. Kitkat is the last usable android version.
                  These are the 2 reasons that it is unusable.
