Product overview

Xperia™ J – Big screen entertainment in a stylish

smartphone

Bring your friends, photos and films to the big screen. Watch everything on the large and bright 4.0”

display, or send it to your TV or Tablet. Xperia™ J is a stylish, social smartphone that tells you what’s on

with flashes, and plays what’s on in soul-shaking clarity.

Get the bigger picture

Watch the world, big and bright on the large 4.0” screen. Or watch your favourite films. Browse the

“Movies” app and see what’s on with movie art. Show time? Connect the Xperia™ J smartphone to your

TV or Tablet via Wi-Fi® and DLNA® and give people the bigger picture.

Stay social

So, what’s new? Xperia™ J’s smart illuminations give you a heads-up. The light notifies you of incoming

messages, Facebook updates and more – and makes it easy to stay in touch in style. Prefer to say it face-

to-face? Use the front-facing camera for a video chat.

For your listening pleasure

Found the right track? The “WALKMAN” app keeps you in touch with your music. Just plug in your

earphones and listen in soul-shaking clarity. Or connect to wireless speakers, crank it up with xLoud™

loudness enhancement and use your phone as the ultimate DJ deck.

Shoot it sharp

Catch that look of joy sharp with the 5 MP auto focus camera. Or shoot sharp action in video, then post

everything on Facebook with just a click. View every detail of your favourite photos and videos in the

“Album” app, and store your stills and videos on PlayMemories Online*, the easy, instant way to access

your content from any device.

* PlayMemories Online is not available in all markets.

Signature features

Sony Xperia™ J comes with a range of features as standard. Below is a summary of the key signature

features.

Xperia™ Timescape™

Communication made easy

The Timescape™ application manages all your communication with one person in one place. You can

effortlessly browse by category your Facebook™, Twitter™, email and text communications, as well as

view your photos. Now everything is all together and in chronological order, so you don't have to open

different applications to see what's going on.

Xperia™ infinite button

Everything you want – from everywhere

Tap the infinite button in the Timescape™ application and smart filter each category of communication by

person. For example, when viewing a text message from a friend in Timescape™, tap the infinite button to

view a list of all chat messages with that friend.

Xperia™ Local connectivity

More control over your media

Using Xperia™ Local connectivity, you can exercise more control over how media files get transferred and

stored. For example, you can select MTP mode to transfer files if you want to limit the risk of data corrup-

tion or select MSC mode if you want to have more control over the data storage.

Xperia™ Home screen application

The place you call Home

Customise your Home screen with widgets, shortcuts, folders, themes, wallpaper and other items.

Where’s best for you? Email top right? Music player bottom left? You decide. With four extensions to your

Home screen, you’ve got plenty of space to put things where you want. Just remember to flick left or right

to find them.
