Hands-on review: MWC 2014: Sony Xperia M2

For Omnibalance design Strong camera tech Against Expensive compared to Moto G Plastic, hollow-sounding chassis

The Sony Xperia M2 is the follow up to the popular mid-range handset that saw the company trying a number of different suffixes and hoping one stuck for those that don't want to spend a lot of money.

When you pick up the Xperia M2, you're instantly struck with that opinion. It's not a phone with a lot of style when compared to the likes of the Xperia Z2, but at the same time, it uses the same design language well.

The Omnibalance look (which mostly boils down to the unique power key) is in effect here, and does lend an element of premium packaging to proceedings, bringing a much better phone than the still-popular predecessor, the Xperia M.

The only reason that it doesn't feel overly premium in the hand is that it's a slightly chunkier beast, coming in at 8.6mm compared to the razor thin 6.4mm thickness of the Sony Xperia Z2 Tablet, for example.
