“Though the Xperia J may have a nice screen, good battery life and good sound, its processing performance and camera quality leave a lot to be desired. If you’re looking for a phone that can last a long time, then the Xperia J might be worth considering, but if you browse the Internet a lot, use heavy apps, or want to take pictures on the go, I recommend that you look the other way.”

“Don't even bother, guys. We know that the Sony Xperia J seems like a worthy pick, especially since it carries a very reasonable price tag, but chances are you'll be disappointed by what you'll get in exchange. For a lower mid-range smartphone, the device has a decent battery life and a good-looking display, but that's pretty much it. The sub-par performance is really the deal breaker in this case, so our advise is to start looking for an alternative.”

“The Xperia J from Sony is a great phone in Xperia series and will satisfy one with its features, technicalities and pre installed applications. This is a one of the good mid range smartphone of these days. But, few more advancements could have made it the best among others. Like its 512 MB RAM can be questionable to many and we also wonder why Sony is stick to 512 only. Atleast 756 MB RAM should be offered in their phones. Otherwise, this is a handsome phone for daily use.”

“The Sony Xperia J is good in the looks department, and has some strong points on the features front including a couple of neat widgets and good battery life. But it is seriously let down by very poor speed and jerky performance. The promised upgrade from Android 4.0 to 4.1 might solve the problem, but I’m not sure I’d be happy to take a punt on that.”

Hi cat. Download a file manager from the Play Store. With the file manager, you can create a new folder. Move your photos to the new folder. That new folder will appear as a new album when you view your gallery.
