Over pricing seems to be the major disadvantage of this handset. In recent times all smartphones brought to market by Sony Mobile are over priced. Single core Snapdragon S1 chipset processor and 512 MB RAM does not sound impressive. Entertainment is the only segment to watch out for. Other features are common even in less priced smartphones.
Competitors of Sony Xperia J
You will find better combination in Micromax A110 Canvas 2 which is priced less but having larger 5 inch display. Samsung Galaxy S Duos is priced similar to Xperia J but it equips two sim cards instead of one. HTC Desire V is another competitor of the handset having dual sim capability and Beats Audio sound enhancement over xLOUD Audio. Therefore, you have plenty of alternatives.
