In Beaumont Leys, a bleak housing estate north of New Parks, locals have been known to breakintohouses where refugees are settled and to steal their council-provided furniture or, as they see it, restore it to its rightful owners.
On its back, two strips of soft-touch plastic break the back into segments: a removable bit up top that houses the 3.5mm headphone jack, a micro-SIM, a vacant microSD slot (the phone comes with 16GB of internal storage) and a fixed piece at the bottom, above which you'll find the Xperia logo.
