Sony tends to much around a bit too much on Android so -1 for them.
+1 for the other maker this round.
-> Have you seen models by BLU in your area? Since you are looking for a deal.

A little battle of the mid-range phones. I'm struggling to decide which to buy. I know the specs of the Huawei are off the charts but I've never actually worked with one. As for Sony, I've used a bunch of Sony smartphones and I am sure it has a great display and camera as the ones I've used. BUT I've encountered many RAM and processor issues with Sony. Anyway, here are links for the specs.
