Sony Xperia sola Review

(MT27i) Score: 55.5 / 100

Sony Xperia sola is a nice Android phone released in 2012, equipped with a 5 MP back-facing camera, a 3.7 inches multi-touch capacitive screen and a fast 1000 megahertz Dual-Core processor. Let's take a deeper look at what this cellphone offers to us.

The Sony Xperia sola ships with a ST-Ericsson NovaThor U8500 system chip, which holds a powerful 1000 megahertz Dual-Core processor with 512 MB of RAM. A nice point of the Sony Xperia sola is its big 8 GB internal storage memory and a slot for external memory cards, enough to store hundreds of games and applications without running out of space.

The Sony Xperia sola is very thin and comfortable, with a thickness of just 0.39 inches. Sony offers this cellphone in black, red and white. It appears that Sony decided not to care much about the weight in this 3.77 ounces cellphone.

This phone has only a 5 MP back camera. It is capable of capturing videos up to 1280x720 (HD) at 30 fps. In addition, this cellphone's camera also features a couple of good characteristics: flash, auto-focus, smile detection shooting, face detection shooting and geo tagging.

The Sony Xperia sola has a very good 3.7-inches screen with a 854 x 480 resolution, which makes everything look very good. Its screen uses TFT capacitive technology, and is multi-touch enabled.

This phone uses a mid sized 1320 mAh battery that provides this phone a not very long battery life. According to Sony, this phone has a reported stand by time of 470 hs and a talk time of 6 hs.

This phone offers wifi capability (and it can be provided to other devices around, as a mobile hotspot) and the fastest 3G connectivity, over HSDPA, HSUPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. The Sony Xperia sola works with a SIM card for GSM connection.

This phone also includes a few interesting features as NFC, Bluetooth (allows communication with other phones, computers and accessories) and GPS Geolocation, and lots of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.

Sony is selling this cellphone for $ 149, which is not cheap for comparing with other similar cellphones. The Sony Xperia sola is a very good choice for you if you want a device mainly for internet broswing and social networks. When you buy this cellphone you will also get micro USB cable for charging, charger, stereo headset, and user documentation, synchronisation and file transfer and 2 SmartTags.
