Hey people please help me. I am planning to buy the NEO V. Is is a good buy? Is there any other phone that i should look at?
For the prize range its either Neo V or Ray,if you want the better and bigger screen go for Neo V
About the Neo V all I gotta say is its the best handset out there for 250-260 US$
Is a very goog phone in its price. A recommended buy.
Very good phone for the price. It feels very nice to hold along with hdmi port and 3D camera being very awesome. Im using a neo which has an 8mp camera. However neo v only has a 5mp camera. Boot time is ok and very fun to play with!

According to My Experience, you are gonna Love this Phone Like i do, In its price Class its the best available option for you to purchase. I am having one and i am very happy with My neo v. It does have a 5MP only, but Quality is not Bad as compared with others.
Recommended Buy In its class.
Best for that price range !
you wont regret !
i have SE Neo and it rox so this NEO V just has to be better i hope
No, Neo v is exactly equal than Neo, but with worst camera.
Neo V is the best choise now!
Very soon it'll get ICS.It's very fast and has a good battery.
Thanks for the replies guys...
got mine today.....i guess it is an upgrade from my old phone the htc legend
I don't know the price of neo v in your country, but
i bought neo v at 200€ and i'm really satisfied. Also, flush the emann rom and your telephone will boost up!
It will cost around 18k indian rupees. As of now I am satisfied with it. A good buy.

I've bought new NeoV for about 150€ and I'm happy.
There is no better smartphone for this price.
Totally agree. Best one in the price range. The camera could have been a little better, having said that I still say its a very good package. Any clue on the ics update. SE says mid april wat do u guys think.?

+1 to all replies. Got Neo, and comparing to Arc its not that different with a + for the front cam. Just a display size difference, but Neo's is enough already.

Hi all , I'm confused , whether buying this Xperia Neo or the Xperia Play...
Please help me of making the choices..
Before this i was a blackberry user...
If you want a phone mostly for gaming,get the Play,if you want a phone for multimedia (music,videos,camera) get the Neo.The only difference between them is the gamepad for Play,the screen dimension (4 inch Play vs 3,7 inch Neo),and the camera resolution (5 mp for Play vs 8 mp for neo (or 5 mp for Neo V)).PS:i have a Neo.

Ok, every gets to this now or later, the problem that is getting a new phone.
http://www.sfr.fr/mobile/offre-tele...38q2&pta=0037x2&typesmartphone=se-android&p=0
This is a filtered search of the phones i can get, these are the prices with a contract. My only criteria are: 1GHZ ArmV7 and a WVGA screen. And a not much about ICS (It would be nice) Im getting this in january so I may be able to build up up-to about 200 euros.
Two that look nice are the motorola defy (nice big screen, impress my mates)
or the Xperia ray which is ridiculously cheap for what it is. Im drooling over it knowing i could play all the games i never could, and it is getting ICS and will support chainfire. The downside is the fact the screen is only 3.3 inches, but it means it will have about 300 dpi !!
Thanks for any suggestions
At the moment I would go for the Defy,since from what i saw in it's forum has more roms.This my change however,more people will probably end up buying the ray since it will get ICS and it's cheap,increasing the number of roms.But,like i've said,it's not a sure thing.In the end,you should buy what you like more.
You could buy a Nexus S,240€ in italy or a Galaxy S,(around 220€). Both have ARMv7 processor,HDPI screen,but personally I prefer Nexus S (for NFC,official updates and frontal camera).
well, I would choose one of them - HTC Desire HD or SonyEricsson Xperia Neo.
SE - better camera, frontal camera, better battery.
HTC - a bit better performance, aluminium unibody, Sense UI.

He wants below 200 euro, Desire HD is above his budget and there is no Xperia Neo there.
Btw, get the Xperia ray, since it gets ICS later on.

Sorry, I didn't read carefully.. :/
so yeah, I agree you, Xperia Ray is the best choice.
Thanks to every one here, I've decided to get the Ray. My O1 would have been thrown out the window if it weren't for you guys. If i had the time to press thanks on every thread, i would.

should you buy the xperia neo v now?
I mean its almost 1 yr old...
single core processor.....
lcd display...(not even slcd)
the only thing still makingme think about buying it is its good resolution and android 4.0 update,and maybe the camera.
currently im stuck between this and the samsung galaxy R
the galaxy R is awesome,but its kinda big and it has poor resolution for that size of screen.
so what do u think :?????
I reccomend you to buy Neo.
This is good phone.

Only you can decide. Whatever we say is irrelevant because we all have completely different SUBJECTIVE views.
Do your own research and go play with some. Then decide.
Depends what you want... Maybe wait till April for next Sony Xperia phones
If you want to but this phone because you are impressed by 8Mp cam then you are i recommend you to look for other alternative.Neo cam is not even as good as 3MP cam !
But apart from this every thing is perfect and UserInterface is terrific! Less lag but more battery consumption(but this is not a big problem when compared with camera one)!

Baloney.
Yes the cam isn't quite as good as other 8MP cams on more expensive phones and it's not quite as good as a dedicated point and shoot 6MP cam either (since that has a much bigger sensor and often hardware zoom) but it's still a fair bit better than your average 5MP phone cam.
As to the original question yes I definitely still think this phone is worth buying providing you can't afford the other stronger 8MP phones like the Motorola Droid RAZR or the HTC Sensation or the SGS2 or even the iPhone 4S. It never was flagship material but it's a stunning mid-range phone.
And if you are asking Neo V over the original then you're an idiot since the Neo V offers NOTHING new AND has a worse cam. (unlike Arc S VS Arc where the S has 400 extra Mhz)
I had the same choice of Neo VS Samsung Galaxy R and I don't regret my choice of going with the Neo one bit.
The only phone I would consider over it from SE would be the Pro since a hardware keyboard might be nice to have.
Edit: As I read your question again it seems you're actually asking NeoV VS Galaxy R not Neo VS Galaxy R....so then I'd definitely rather have the Galaxy R (though it's unlikely to get Icecream Sandwhich officially) since the original Neo's 8MP cam is taken out of the equation.
My preferences if you ignore ICS would go something like this : Flagship expensive phones > Xperia Pro > Neo> Desire S > Galaxy R > mini pro > Ray > PLAY> Neo V > all ther rest.

Hmmmm..........I said what i have felt ..Cam is not that good to be honest!
And compression leads to the downfall ..For now i think there is no solution for this problem !
The neo has a tiny sensor with 8million pixels.. I don't expect too much but comparing it to images from the iphone 4 and Samsung galaxy S2 it definitely holds its own.
I spent a lot of time playing with the Galaxy S2 while deciding on what to buy and I chose the Neo over it and the Arc... I think it's still way ahead of the game. (and cant be beat for the price)
But in the end its your choice, go with the phone that has all the features and design that suits your needs.

Totally agree with both of you guys.As for a 5mp camera phone Neo V do good enough.But no point comparing a camera phone to a camera and starts whining that camera phones quality is bad.Anyway only thing that I don't like about Neo V's camera is that some times it captures less details comparing to phones like Neo.But that I can live with
Hey all,
I own a HTC Wildfire,which is one of the weakest androids on the market.
A year has passed since I bought it,and I'm looking for an ICS phone,which is mid-range.
Basically,I need the phone for Skype,What's Up and Viber.
Wouldn't mind if I could play with some nice games.(Angry Birds is barely playable on my HTC,since it has no GPU)
Is the Neo V a good replacement,or should I look for other devices?
When will it get the ICS update?
I live in Israel,and the price here is quite good for the Neo V.(about 425$)
As I understand,the Neo V has the same CPU and GPU as the HTC Sensation.
I've read an Israeli review on the Neo V,which was summarized as an OK phone,but claimed Sony had missed the train,as it has its flaws.
What do you think,as users?
How long does the battery last?
Thanks,
Yohai.

Neo V is a good phone an the ICS comes late march begin of april,
i love this phone i want no other, but search around in general and you will find information
good luck with it
425$ is too much for Neo V,
I got it about 270$ and yes, its a good phone
Its a good phone!
It's a nice phone, though not exactly cutting edge. Quite an improvement on my previous ZTE Blade, but not noticeably better than the Desire that I've been playing with recently.
I got mine on a very cheap contract so I wasn't bothered about it being brilliant. It depends how much you can get it for.
As has been mentioned, we're getting official ICS in a couple of months or so. I think you'll find that a lot of the similar handsets will already be able to run ICS in some form. Have a look at the available roms in the relevant sections on here.
I have neo which is the same thing. it's great and with a little bit of software modding its perfect.
Neo V is the best of mine
Yeah, neo V is good.. but if ur budget is more enough, then go for arc S or pro..
I wonder if it is a good idea to wait for Xperia P than to buy huge Xperia S.
Used Galaxy Ace for over 7 months and now I sold it. Thought to buy an S2 but I just hate that shape. No more samsung!!!
Always wanted to get my hands on Xperia Arc but many other good phones are out there now in the market. Like HTC Sensation XE, Galaxy S2, etc. People will laugh if I buy an arc now. But still arc is taking over my mind because its cost is very low now compared to other phones.
I already have 630$ in my amazon.com account (as gift card balance), but I have to add some $ 80 to it to buy Xperia S and ship it to India.
I prefer Xperia P over Xperia S coz:
Smaller in size (just 4.5mm width difference but I think it matters)
8MP is enough for me
HD screen is not a must (540X960 pixels is fine)
I don't want a HD front Camera (I don't want a front camera at all for another one or two years).
But S is better over P because of 32GB storage, 1.5GHz. Well at least I have to say myself that P costs less.
What I want to do now is buy an arc, use it for 4 or 5 months, then sell it and buy the Xperia P. By the end of april sure P will be released. And after another 2 months its price will also be reduced much, like all sony phones does.
What say, friends? Now should I buy Xperia S or Arc?
The S supports USB OTG as well, it's in another thread
it's your money, I like the S because of the speed, camera, size, and looks.
Ultimately it's what you think about the two, the P has the looks, but the rest isn't doing it for me

IMO it will be stupid to buy a Arc now only to sell it again in a few months. But that just me. If you have S2 now you have big screen. And after my experince once you got a big screen you never go back. Same with televisions. And besides the arc has nearly the same size screen as the S. So i don't see your logic? Games and pictures and video is so much better on a high resolution big screen. And if you wait for the P alot other mobiles will be released by then, and then you can't decide again.
Your argument about front faced camera, well i don't realy undestand it. I doubt i'll ever use my front faced camera other than taking pictures of my self. So nobody says you have to use it and you barley notice it on the S.
Buy the S. It's a great phone just like the Arc was. The Arc was also the flagship and the followers was Neo, Pro and play. The Sony Xperia S is also the flagship the U and P are just limited editions followers.
Buy the flagship.

Face unlock in ice cream sandwich only works with front facing camera.
So you think the Xperia S is too big but you are thinking of an S II?
I like handsets that i can operate with 1 hand. Its the main reason i walked away from the Galaxy Nexus Prime.
I had the X10 and the Xperia S is 5-10mm taller and a couple of mm wider.
I have no problem driving this animal with 1 hand.
Sony's policy (until now it seems) was to release a flagship model 2010 was the X10, 2011 was the Arc and this year is the 'S' until August anyway. Then they released a mid and lower range handset.
I know that if i got the lesser models i would always wishing i got the flagship instead.
Just my personal feelings and obviously you do as you please.
Just don't make a decision on what you think.
Get down to a mobile phone shop and get your choices in your hands. Your choice would be at least then justified and not on guess work.

I posted some early impression of the Xperia S HERE with some pics of Xperia S against arc.
- If you had any screen bigger than 4.0, Xperia P will be small
- Dual Core 1GHz should be enough but 1.5GHz could help you with some apps later
-There are differences between the two and Xperia S tops it out. I felt in love with Xperia P aluminum unibody and the fact doesn't have flaps for USB connection but once I got the Xperia S I forgot all of those fact.
Xperia S is good built quality phone to the extends that Xperia ARC feels like a little toy in front of it. Flap doesn't bother me at all and made the whole phone experience even better (as far as look)
You could always buy the Xperia S and then sell it whenever you want.
Good luck mate,

Flaps don't bother me also, when I'm thinking about using them.
What really bothers me is that, because the Xperia S has these flaps, this probably means that the Smart Dock Acessory that's available for both Xperia P and Xperia Ion does not work or is not supposed to work on Xperia S, which is supposed to be the company's flagship...

Yeah i'm slightly confused that Sony haven't made a dock for the S either. What with Ubuntu coming to Android this would have been an awesome accessory. Come home from work, dock the phone in and fire up a full fledged OS and carry on with work on a bigger screen. Obviously we can still do this with the HDMI out and the USB but seems a missed oppertunity.
i read somewhere that xperia s would work with livedock.. which is a lot better deal considering it won't go irrelevant once u upgrade your phone..

It's got only a 5MP camera

512MB RAM
No secondary camera
Apparently from what i'm reading: No Bravia engine
It does have the Novathor u8500 chipset though?

Sola vs P specs: http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=4408&idPhone2=4436
I think it's just meant to be a sort of a flagship floating touch phone with that being the main focus.
S is the mobile at the moment.
I have ordered it already and may get it in my hands by tomorrow.

Hello!
What's up? *insert ceiling joke here*
I'm going to tell you a funny story.
In January, I ordered the Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S but it took so long to arrive and I fell in love with the SXS, so I cancelled!
I was sure to get the SXS but then I saw the P and asked myself 'do I really need a high-end model? As long as it has 1Gb ram it's cool for me. Right?' I got no answer.
The SXP looks very appealing... Not only for the dock, but for it's built and size...and in red is just stunning
I'm getting tired of waiting...and being confuse. I really want to try android... So many cool stuff to do.
I want to hear your opinions.

Dude.. Its not at all funny. It completely makes sense.
Frankly I felt the same thing as you. Arc S is a great phone and I always wanted to get it in my hands. But when SXS and SXP were announced I felt it is worth waiting for them.
Also I felt like 'Do I really need a high-end mobile?' (just like you felt). That is why I opened this thread.
SXP is a good one but its not yet launched.
Now if you can't wait to get an android mobile and if you can afford to buy a high end mobile then it is completely worth buying an SXS. Previously I used 'Galaxy Ace' and now am having a great time after getting the SXS. The mobile is simply amazing.
Also do check 'HTC One X'. It is also a high end model and it comes with ICS. But personally I love Sony. Also One X is longer and wider compared to SXS. Hence I went for SXS.

Lol in this case it's dudette.
I checked out the HTC One X and the One S but, HTC fans please forgive, it's not as beautiful as the SXS. Sony adds that mojo that makes you fall in love. Plus, I know SenseUI is pretty and has lots of tweaks however Sony's simplicity is pure win.
I'm going to wait a bit for the P, to hear about it from people who use it daily. Then I'll decide which to buy. I have to choose wisely, I'll be with one of them for 2 years

Hey! If you are going to wait for P to launch then there is nothing big to decide. Like I said previously, if you can afford to buy a high end mobile then SXS would be ideal option to choose. If you feel like high end mobile is not necessary then surely SXP would be the one for you. The point is both are quality mobiles in their range.
Even after the launch of P you cannot get proper opinions comparing them. Both come under different range. I am sure both users will say S is good (its sony's flagship afterall, isn't it?). Like I said, it all comes down to whether you can afford for it or not.
And it would be silly if you buy the S after the release of P because you like S more. I mean the wait would be meaningless, right?
Keep reading the reviews of SXS. I am sure you are doing it now. Also what do you feel about SGSIII?
I would say that the Xperia P is the smallest brother to Xperia S.
I was also thinking about Xperia P, but I wanted a little bit bigger screen, but with bigger screen, it means bigger phone. It's not very comfy to control the Xperia S with only one hand. I'm a teenager so I don't have big man hands.
And Xperia P was not available in my country at that time, and I desperatly needed a phone, so there was no other choice then Xperia S.
But I think I get used to this big Xperia S phone. It would be even more perfect if it wasn't that tall (tricky to control the phone with only the thumb over the big area of screen).
But if I went for the Xperia P, it would be like my old Xperia X10, with 1GHz processor, 8MP and same screen size, so upgrading wouldnt be that big of a deal, so I just went for something good when I already was buying a new phone in 2012!
Good luck chosing your phone!
Hey fellow Xperia S owners / Sony Android phone owners.
Last Friday night I lost my beloved Xperia S, and I'm still suffering.. I know the Sony Xperia S is not perfect by any means but I loved mine. I loved the looks with the transparent antenna strip, I loved the HDMI connection separate from the USB connection (Charging while Viewing Netflix for ex.) and even though I had a small show of yellow tint issue, it was not something that bothered me at all. I also loved the fact that is not a common phone (I'm yet to find someone else in person with one). Last but not least I had also familiarized with the phone, it's firmwares, ICS running fine finally, and this xda-developers Xperia S Forum of course.
So right now I'm stuck with the Phone I was given for free from my Carrier, an LG Optimus L5 (crappy phone), even though it has ICS, it's so inferior that it only makes me miss my Xperia S even more
Ok so I need to get me a new phone, and I can say I rather have another Sony phone, so I see that there are already a few models that are coming out soon: Xperia T (Flagship, Skinny Design) and Xperia V(Love the Water-resistant aspect, but Lacks on Front Camera Resolution) , but Like I've said before I really loved the Transparent Antenna Strip, and loved having the Illumination Bar App which would Blink Fast for a Missed Call, or Slow for a new SMS; So I'm also aware of the existence of the Sony Xperia SL (Overclocked CPU to 1.7Ghz compared to the 1.5Ghz on the Xperia S but still an S3 vs The S4 on the newer models T and V), but I can't find any reviews or benchmarks of the Xperia SL making it even harder for me to decide.
So that is the situation, I would like to know what other fellow XDA members would do in my case and/or what are the recommendations.
Sony Xperia T
Sony Xperia V
Sony Xperia SL
Sony Xperia S
Other ?
How do you lost it? I can't see someone losing a phone lol. But that doesn't matter. I'd pick up the Xperia T
"I got my values. So you can keep yours, OK?"
He probably misplaced it and cannot for the life of him recall where he might have left it. I've done that with an MP3 player or two.
I'd get another S. If the V becomes available by the time you make your decision (and it's reasonably priced), consider the V.
I don't even want think about it but I got really f*cked up in party @ a club on Friday and I sat on a couch and had the phone on my lap and I guess I just dropped it on the floor when I leaned to the side to throw up :banghead: .. so there you go, that's what happened :thumbdown:
I would like to know if the CPU running at 1.7GHz on the Xperia SL helps on making the ICS OS smoother without hiccups and makes the phone more responsive, and also if the speed bump drains the battery a lot faster than the Xperia S. But I can't find any info on it

On, I see. That's bad... I really don't know... I guess the performance will be slightly better, but dunno about battery

Motorola Razr HD: good and solid design, big battery, skin close to stock Android.
Nokia Lumia 920: beautiful unique design, good camera, cool new technologies (IMO most are gimmick but you may think differently), good screen.
iPhone5: beautiful beautiful beautiful and classy design (I really cant get enough of how pretty it is), good screen, good camera.
Honestly if I had the money I'd buy all of them
you know what i would go for the xperia T. having SL is like and S with overclocked cpu, nevermind the transparent strip, go fot the T its an S4 krait .
Xperia SL in silver...prettiest one among the bunch
Xperia T
I would go for the Xperia T or TX if you have to upgrade soon. The device looks very solid, and Sony has learned from the S.
If the V is available to you and the price is right, that's my second pick.
If I lost my Xperia, I would get a galaxy s (the original one) root and flash jb, change the battery, my wife has that now, easy 2 days with daily use (she uses it for work). Would be a good backup for when ur looking for another phone cheap as well, if u lose phones a lot has a nice screen and light

In the future, unless you're loaded and can afford to buy a new phone every few months, install something like Cerberus anti-theft on it. You have a high chance of finding it.

I suggest Xperia SL... But if you want a waterproofed version of the Xperia S + extended memory... Get Xperia Acro S.... I tried 64GB micro SD on my Acro S and it still works like a charm... With root. Haha 32gb external memory cap under sony acro s is FULSE!
Sent from my LT26w (Xperia Acro S ~ rooted best of both worlds along side SO-03D)
when i would care about price/performance ratio it would be again the xperia s ...
when i don't care about that and i'd like a high end device it would be the xperia v
I would probably buy a P if I lost mine

get the T, end of the story really.
Depends on your demand of usage. Though i'll get the new Xperia T. Bond is the game lol nah seriously! it beats S3 n HTC on some serious level plus i have my faith on the new gen snapdragon chipsets & surely the battery can always be tweaked! my Xperia S runs for about 16-17hrs with normal usage so Mr.T can run longer or even perform better and definitely faster! Else, i will wait for the announced S4 PRO LG optimus G (Quads+2150mAh battery) but then again, i never actually liked the way LG looks. Xperia is the beauty with brain
or u could ship the TX from China , It dosent have that illumination bar but the XPERIA LOGO GLOWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHITE
like ur s
Consider HOX tegra variant mate, i flash it with Renovate rom and never look back.

Or you can wait for the new nexus line...

Something dirt cheap if you are going to keep losing them
