Sony Xperia E3 Single Sim Review

My experience using Xperia E3 Single Sim

Overall the device is good, feels good in hand and provides enough grip unlike some devices which are difficult to hold.

It came with Android 4.4.2 and i updated to Android 4.4.4. the Sony UI great and much better than any other skin in the market.

Camera is good, battery backup is very good, it easily lasts 2 days on average use. In settings it is showing RAM 880 MB, i think 144 is reserved by system, instead of 1 GB as written on specs.

but like many people said limited storage, it comes with 4 GB, out of which we get 1.7 GB, the preinstalled apps takes some space so technically we only get 1.2 GB, which is very low for todays standard. you can move apps to SD card BUT the app only partially moves to SD Card. i am a app developer myself and i moved one of my 15 MB app, of which about 5 MB was still on device, 10 MB on SD. so approx 30% of app still remain on device.

Another thing i noticed is that even if you have SD card installed, the app by default install to device first, then you have to go to setting to move it. my older Xperia Miro with 4.0 ICE never had this problem. not sure how long i will use this device :( may be 6 months.

i have also used windows phone 8.1 and once you put a SD card, apps by default install to SD (you can also choose) and you can move apps from/to SD Card. More than Sony, it is a android problem. Not sure if it will get fixed in 5.0 update. If this phone had 8GB of storage then it would have been the best in its price range.

Another issue I found is its GPS (while using it on train), it takes a lot of time to connect. The Device only GPS most of the time doesnt connect or takes a lot of time to connect. To use GPS only way is to switch to High accuracy mode which uses combination of Google location service, network data and GPS to determine location, but that confuses some data and not suitable if you prefer to use offline maps like HERE Maps.

i would have given 5 stars if it didnt had the low storage.

I would rate it 3 out of 5 stars.

Silver Foil Are NOT Vegetarian

Silver Foil Used in Sweets Are NOT Vegetarian

At the end of a meal, do you like to eat a pan, sweet, or perfumed sopari? And then if these things are decorated with silver foils, what more can we want? Many sweets also are decorated with silver foils.

The silver foils are not very expensive. They are sold by weight. Ordinarily, you can buy a packet of 160 foils for a price between Rs. 100 to 200. That is, approximately one rupee per foil. Not only the sweets, now a days it is also applied on fruits. Some Ayurvedic medicines also are wrapped in silver foils.

What do you think? - how are these silver foils made? Hold your breath.

They are made by hammering thin sheets of silver in middle of booklets made of a bull's intestines. In other words, after slaughtering a bull, quickly his intestines are removed, and sold to the manufacturers of foils. The skins made of old intestines are of no use. Even one-day-old intestines can not be used, because within a few hours they stiffen.

The foil manufacturer removes blood and stools from the intestines, and cuts them into pieces. Then he puts one piece over another, making a booklet out of it. At his home, or in the factory, he puts one silver (or gold) sheet in-between each page. Then he hammers it hard until those metal sheets turn into thin wafers.

The intestines of bulls are so strong, that even repeated hammering do not destroy them, or they do not let the foils move around inside. Because of the hammering, some tissues of the intestine mix with the foils. After that the foil manufacturer sells the bundle of foils to the sweets manufacturers. Some small foil manufacturers sell the foils to the temples.

This foil is not only dirty, it also is non-veg. Even the meat-eaters do not eat intestines. Use of these foils turn even sweets into non-veg food. A few years ago the Indian Airlines learned about this, and since then stopped using them on the sweets served in their planes.

Pan

By now, a pan-lover vegetarian person may have eaten equivalent of many miles of oxen intestines! For them, here is an another bad news - the Chuna that they apply on pan, also is not vegetarian! That is made from the shells of living insects. These insects are taken from the ocean, killed, and removed from the shell. Then the shells are softened in water, dried, and ground into white powder. When you put this Chuna in your mouth, you are participating in killing of many insects. This is no different from taking life of a goat or a pig. Everyone wants to live, no one likes the pain of death.

More
You can install any Windows version but i prefer Windows 2000 as its very lightweight. If you want to play games like Age of Empires it will work fine in it. If you want to play those old NFS II, III games then they might not work on Windows 2000 or XP, so you will need Windows 98/ME for that.

Enjoy!
