Sony, however, states that this is not the case, and both numbers are available. This is achieved by a software trick: when the availability function of both numbers is activated, the smartphone itself sets up mutual forwarding on them due to unavailability and turns on the “Call Waiting” network service. That is, the call to the second SIM card is forwarded to the first as a “second line”.
The same “availability” can be configured on any dual-SIM phone, just do not forget that forwarding is a paid service, and those who use two SIM cards to save money will completely lose all benefits. And if, God forbid, you enable this “feature” in roaming, then you can sell your apartment: conditional forwarding in this case is paid at double roaming tariffs.
Display
This year, Sony finally got better with screens, and the T2 Ultra uses a high-quality IPS matrix without any flare on a black background and with excellent contrast; The brightness margin is also large - at least enough to make the picture legible under the spring sun. A film is glued to the screen at the factory, so as scratches appear, it can be simply replaced.
The inexpensive model only has a screen resolution of 1280x720 pixels. If you look more closely, individual pixels become visible; however, during everyday use at a normal distance from the eyes they are not visible, the fonts do not blur. However, although the resolution is sufficient, with such a diagonal it is already possible to distinguish an HD screen from Full HD.
The screen supports work with gloves: with such dimensions, you can even type text in them tolerably.
