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.
