Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo Review

(MT15a)     See other variants reviews Score: 55.1 / 100

Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo is a quite good Android cellphone launched many years ago, equipped with a 3.7 inches multi-touch screen, a powerful processor ticking at 1000 MHz, and two cameras, an 8.1 MP back side camera and a 0.3 MP front side camera.

This phone is a bit heavy comparing to other cellphones , with a weight of 4.44 ounces. This cellphone is quite thick compared to current cellphones, with a thickness of 0.51 inches.

Sony ships this cellphone with a great performance 1000 MHz processor, bundled in a Qualcomm Snapdragon S2 MSM8255 chip and 512 MB of RAM memory. To handle graphic rendering, it also counts with a 245 MHz Adreno 205 GPU. This phone has a 1 GB internal storage memory, a small quantity that may be adequate for basic users considering that this cellphone also has an SD memory card expansion slot to store photos and videos.

Sony designed this phone with a nice 3.7" screen, and a resolution of 854 x 480 , giving this phone a detailed graphical experience. This screen uses TFT capacitive technology, and can detect multi touch gestures.

This phone offers wifi connectivity (although it can't share it with other devices as a mobile hotspot) and the fastest 3G internet connection, supported by HSDPA, HSUPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. This cellphone uses a SIM card for GSM networks.

The Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo features two cameras, an 8.1 megapixels back side camera and a 0.3 MP front-facing camera. It is also able to shoot HD 1280x720 videos at 30 frames per second. In addition, the camera features a large number of great characteristics: auto-focus, flash, face detection shooting, digital image stabilization, geo tagging and smile detection shooting.

This phone comes with a medium capacity 1500 mAh Li-Ion battery, which is quite low for a thirsty device like this. Sony reports a 6.9 hours talk time and a 430 hs stand by time for this phone.

This device also includes a couple of useful features such as Bluetooth (allows communication with other devices, computers, and accessories) and GPS (Global Positioning System), and lots of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.

The Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo costs about $ 349, which is not cheap for this kind of device. In case will use this cellphone mainly for internet broswing and social networks, this cellphone is the right choice .
