Sony Xperia E dual battery life test breakdown is here

Our review of Sony Xperia E dual is done, so we took our time to do a proper battery test. The results are ready for you to check out.

The Xperia E dual us running on a dated single-core chipset and comes with a 3.5-inch HVGA display, but features dual-SIM functionality with dual stand-by support. The smartphone draws its power from a 1530 mAh battery.

Our first test, as usual, is all about 3G talk time. The Xperia E dual lasted 6 hours and 42 minutes, which is about what you could expect from a battery of this capacity.

The final endurance rating of Xperia E dual is rather disappointing though. It will last you 30 hours if you use it for 1 hour of video playback, 1 hour of web browsing and 1 hour of 3G talk each day.

The reason for the relatively poor rating is the disappointing performance when the phone is left idle. Obviously having dual stand-by takes its toll on the relatively modest battery so if you are a heavier user you probably won’t go for more than a day on a charge with this one.
