Virtual private networks (VPNs)

Use your device to connect to virtual private networks (VPNs), which allow you to access resources inside a secured local network from a public network. For example, VPN connections are commonly used by corporations and educational institutions for users who need to access intranets and other internal services when they are outside of the internal network, for example, when they are travelling.

VPN connections can be set up in many ways, depending on the network. Some networks may require you to transfer and install a security certificate on your device. For detailed information on how to set up a connection to your virtual private network, please contact the network administrator of your company or organisation.

The Sony D2302, commonly known as the Xperia M2, stands out as a robust entry in the mid-range smartphone market. Launched in 2014, it was designed to deliver a balanced combination of performance, features, and style at an affordable price point.

One of the defining characteristics of the Sony D2302 is its sleek design. The smartphone features a minimalist aesthetic with a glass front and a plastic back that is both simple yet elegant. The compact size makes it comfortable to hold and operate with one hand, appealing to those who prefer practical yet stylish devices.

The display is another highlight of the D2302. It boasts a 4.8-inch qHD TFT LCD screen with a resolution of 540 x 960 pixels. While this may not compete with high-end models, the display offers decent brightness and color reproduction, making it suitable for everyday tasks such as browsing and viewing multimedia content.

Under the hood, the Xperia M2 is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor, which is complemented by 1GB of RAM. This setup ensures that the device can run most applications smoothly, providing a satisfactory experience for users engaging in social media, web browsing, and casual gaming.

Photography enthusiasts will appreciate the 8MP rear camera, which brings several advanced features such as HDR and the ability to shoot 1080p video. The camera is supported by an LED flash, enabling users to capture memorable moments in various lighting conditions. The 0.3MP front-facing camera may not be as impressive, but it holds its own for video calls and selfies.

On the software side, the Xperia M2 runs on Android 4.3 Jelly Bean, with the promise of updates for newer iterations, ensuring a user-friendly experience.
