“More than a lot of devices on the market right now, the Sony Xperia E Dual is a good choice for someone who uses their device first and foremost as a phone, with other functionality running a distant second. Despite its low-end specs, the phone is quite capable, but there are many better choices if you only need a single SIM. That said, this is hands down one of the most affordable dual-SIM phones on the market, and that alone makes it worthy of a recommendation for the right person. The Xperia E Dual can be found for around $200 U.S. dollars contract-free, so it’s going to be very difficult to find another dual-SIM option at this price.”

“The Sony Xperia E dual was born to be used for voice calls. It offers outstanding call quality and can handle two SIM cards simultaneously, meaning that those who own it can take advantage of two carriers' deals, thus saving some cash along the way. Besides, its performance isn't too bad, so it can be a decent entry-level handset for users on a tight budget.”

“The Xperia E Dual is not the best handset that you can get in the budget segment but it is a solid offering nonetheless. Good build quality, long battery life and a reliable software build means that if the essentials are what you care for then this could be the handset of choice for you. Those who desire a higher level of performance or a great camera may want to look elsewhere.”

“If you are not too fond of the large screen Android smartphones, then you need to give Sony Xperia E dual a consideration. If not, then there are plenty of Android smartphones made by Indian smartphone makers that you can look at. Most Indian smartphone makers are now offering 1.2GHz quad-core smartphone in the market. The Karbonn S1 Titanium is a decent budget smartphone option. It offers a 4.5-inch screen phone, with a 1.2GHz quad-core processor, running Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. Some of the other smartphones that you can consider are Intex Aqua Wonder Quadcore and Xolo Q700. However, we haven't had a chance to review the phone yet, so we have no idea how they perform in the real world.”

To increase memory, simply use a microSD card on your phone. With regards to ram, it will require you to root the phone. I wouldn't suggest it as it may just result to your phone becoming unstable.
