Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo is a quite good Android cellphone released back in the year 2011, featuring a 1 gigahertz processing unit, a 3.7" multi-touch screen, and two cameras, an 8.1 MP back facing camera and a 0.3 mega-pixels front side camera. We will get a better understanding of this cellphone's pros when we get into deeper details.

Sony sells this device with a fast processing unit running at 1000 MHz, included in a Qualcomm Snapdragon S2 MSM8255 system chip and 512 MB RAM memory. To help with graphic calculations, it also uses an Adreno 205 GPU speeding at 245 MHz. The Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo counts with a 1 GB internal memory, which might be enough for basic users considering it also has a slot for external memory cards to store pictures and videos.

It seems like Sony didn't care so much about the weight in this 4.44 ounces device. This cellphone is a little bit thick compared to nowadays devices, being as thick as 0.51".

Sony packed the Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo with a good looking 3.7" display, and a 854 x 480 resolution, providing this phone with a nice graphical experience. This display uses TFT capacitive technology, and can detect multi touch gestures.

This device features wi-fi connection (but it can't be provided to other devices around, as a mobile mobile hotspot) and the fastest 3G connectivity, supported by HSDPA, HSUPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. The Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo uses a SIM card for GSM networks.

The Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo has two cameras, an 8.1 MP back camera and a 0.3 MP front camera. This phone can also shoot videos up to 1280x720 (HD) at 30 frames per second. Additionally, the camera has many cool features like flash, digital image stabilization, auto-focus, face detection shooting, geo tagging and smile detection shooting.

This cellphone counts with a mid capacity 1500 mAh Li-Ion replaceable battery providing this device with a poor battery life. This cellphone has an aproximate 430 hours stand by time and a 6.9 hours talk time according to Sony.

This phone also comes with a couple of nice features like Bluetooth and GPS (Global Positioning System), and multiple sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.

This cellphone is really expensive considering it is priced 350 dollars, and many similar cellphones can be found for much less money. The Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo is a good choice if you want a social phone.
