A large selection of settings for voice calls, the possibility of noise reduction, in which case your voice will not drown out external noise. Opportunities to soften the interlocutor’s voice or slow down your speech.

Video instruction: Sony review Xperia C3: selfie background with a large screen.

Reviews: The disadvantages of the phone include a certain slipperiness of the phone associated with the slipperiness of the metal frame, but this does not cause severe discomfort and is easily eliminated with various cases. Some owners believe that the screen could be better, but this is just nitpicking. There are cases when a smartphone is immersed under water, it leaks liquid (with the plugs tightly closed) as a result of which it goes out of working condition, but such cases are rare. In general, apart from rare comments, the owners are satisfied with the device.
