Okay guys, in this article i will show you how to add bravia engine 2 on sony xperia e1, it's little bit hard to do, so i guess this is an advance tutorial.

By default, sony xperia e1 does not have bravia engine inside it, probably because xperia e1 is an entry level budget oriented device.

Don't worry, we can add/install bravia engine on our xperia e1, but first let me explain little bit about bravia engine. What is bravia engine? what's the benefit?
