1. 3G native video call without 3rd party apps.
2. Update kernel version to 3.0
3. 5MP 16:9 resolution not 3MP & 2MP 16:9 resolution for Xperia™ neo V
4. Mega bass Equalizer and manual Equalizer.
5. Noise reduction in Video mode of camera
6. New lock Screen
7. Improved battery lifetime
8. face unlock feature for xperia series which have front camera
9. smart dialing
10.CRT animation
11.The song change by press and hold volume up/down while it was locked
12.Better RAM management as we have 512 MB ram but it only shows near about 320 MB nearly
13.Voice recording App
14.Two way call recording app (G502 has that feature in phone itself)
15.file manager app.
i put these info here because not all the peeps are know this.

That's what someone's saying SE should do (in the comments of the article), not what's actually coming. So basically misinformation.

hahaha we should see mate
AFAIK, kernel will not be updated.
1,2,3,5,7,8 would be great And a good music player.The one in SE roms is crap tbh.
KalleD (SE engineer) already confirmed here @ XDA that the kernel won't be updated.
The rest are probably just rumours, besides we've all seen the alpha and most if not all of those things weren't there either.

CM9 has face unlock but the camera's don't work...
number 8 means camera on at (almost) all times = battery drain. i would look for a way to kill this facility IF it was real.
that list looks more like a wishlist than a feature update, i doubt we will see it.

Camera is on as much times as you unlock your phone. All "cool" and "fancy" features are most likely battery drain. You wont get anything "for free".
And yes most likely you will have option to disable it.

Visidon app lock plus got the same feature and still beta,yet works ok on Neo V.Sometimes kinda annoying tho,specially at night without any light.So if Sony add this feature I too really hope they will add a Off face unlock option somewhere in settings.
Anyway completely off-topic,but wonder if Sony will give out the 2.3.7 update for 2011 xperia series before ICS release.

2.3.7 is impossible at them moment
That would be like giving us Vista SP2/3 after the release of the Windows 7 source code
Stupid example ^ But kinda proves my point
What a nice talk here ^^, and indeed the camera doesnt work sometime because its a alpha a.k.a. Beta, but its would be nice if it work on 4.0. And no battery drain i think because they say: better battery life, but we shall see
i hope will stable nearly , cant wait ics on my x10i

Hey there people!
Im a massive music fan, a massive android fan and a Xperia X10 user.
But soon my contract on the phone is to come to an end and i would like to know whats the best phone for music e.g Battery life quality etc.
I have used the HTC sensation XE and also experienced the Xperia S sound enhancer but i cant decide on next device
mainly looking at Xperias but could you lot give me advice on next device?
Thanks in advance!
Xperia S is great in music , i use a Live With Walkman WT19i
Double Speaker Sound So Sweeet
but if you can get a Xperia S I Would Recommend it

Hey Guys - trying to decide which one to choose from - Can get them basically at the same price ...
I have tried playing around with both - main points to look at - speed and camera.
The XLWW is definitively faster - but the images taken at artifical light - seemed more yellowish (should've been white) + there was more noise and less detail. The Wildfire S on the other hand made better low-light photos but was a bit sluggish as compared to the much nicer interface the XLWW had ?
Another point is : HD video on XLWW vs 640/480 on the Wildfire S
Oh and I am really keen on the Wildfire S design (not that the XLWW is that bad but the WIldfire is better).
Which one is the better one at the end - what is your opinion ?
I would go for the XLWW. 50% of my opinion 'cause I'm a Sony Fan.

I've used them both and I also recommend the XLWW, it's just better than the Wildfire.

Thanks - I think the wt19i is better myself - it's just that the camera issue is kinda important to me and the little test I made in the shop didn't convince me to take it ... I know it's a low-end phone - but still 5mp is supposed to make decent images at least.
I have had short experiences with both phones. And I would choose Sony Xperia LWW over HTC Wildfire S any day because.. its..
Newer (October, 2011 vs May, 2011).
Will soon get ICS (and this is a big one for me).
Lot more processing power (1GHz vs 600 Mhz) - this will matter a lot if you plan on keeping the phone for a while.. there is so much in the Play Store and you would want to install a lot of apps.. the more processing power, the merrier.
Music is really loud - although yes it distorts at high volumes but its awesome.. especially when watching youtube videos with friends in high noise areas).
Got a front-facing camera. I am an avid Skype user so it was a must for me.
Regarding Camera.. yes, Wildfire S is definitely better with stills.. but i would say it's a little compromise over LWW's ICS love and greater processing power. And moreover, LWW can shoot 720p videos..!
All said.. i still love to hold Wildfire S over LWW. But verdict - Sony Xperia Live With Walkman.
Hit Thanks button if I helped.
My vote for "Sony Live With Walkman", there are several reasons.
1Ghz processor
512 RAM
Start ICS 4 update this week onwards.

No, i don't think so. Xperia Neo V had some picture quality issues too with GB and it hasn't changed with ICS.
But, you can always post-process images to remove that yellowish tint.

the yellowish tint is easily removed - I would be more concerned in the loss of detail made some test photos at a shop today - compared to the wildfire s - the lww had significantly low detail when image is zoomed ...
otherwise all the rest seems much better - but I am hoping his could somehow be a software issue

Yeah indeed, its a software issue coz it overcompress images but I am not sure if there's a fix for that yet.. maybe some senior member could shed some light on that (anyone listening?), have you tried googling it..?
But even if you decide not to go for LWW, Wildfire S is still a big NO, the processor is really dated. What other phones have you considered..? Is Xperia Neo V (there is a bit price drop with the launch of Sony Xperia Sola) and HTC One V within your price range..?

actually had a look at the Neo V and the picture quality of the camera was pretty much the same - which lead me to the conclusion that the problem might be coz of the software... or a crappy camera matrix.
anyways - the lww works really like a beast with the regular rom that it comes with I was looking at it in the shop and was impressed - let alone with a custom rom - just maybe waiting on a fix for the overcompressed image - wasn't there going to be a less compressed version of the image coming with the ics ? (as a setting ?)

No official word from Sony about the setting, just street rumors, which got proved wrong with Neo V, so hopes are low for LWW too. Yeah, u r right about the stock rom - m a big time timescape user - looks beautiful, works cool.

I truly hope this gets fixed - I see the same problem with Neo, Neo V, LWW, ARC - pretty much most of the late 2011 phones have this issue ... so until a fix is released I will be pretty much holding off.
And you won't have to wait for long.. coz ICS coming to LWW soon starting in a couple days as per the official Sony blog. Start asking around on ICS related threads.

.. and man i just realized its the android 4.0.4..! The ICS update on Neo V I was talking about earlier was 4.0.3. This time, both LWW and Neo V will get 4.0.4. And some guys here at XDA saying we will get a new kernel too.
So hopes are high again for a fix for the camera.

I would go definitelly for Xperia. HTC is compared to Xperia waaay slower. I had both of them in had, so I can tell.
Dear Xperia U users ... did you find your speaker volume is very low ???? It barely noticable in crowd. The demo XPERIA U demo video said it has Crisp and Loud Sound. But mine is the other way around.
And XLoud feature just make the sound worse. It didn't loud at all (OK it made it louder, but the sound is terrible, like there's crackling sound). Even my previous Nexus S still louder than this.
I really sad

If you need a louder speaker for music, you could try Poweramp player. It has an equaliser preset for the phone speaker which makes it a lot louder!
Maybe it helps!

i gifted xperia u to my sister and its first impression disappointed me..
it f***ing has the same crackling problem, i trashed sony mobiles people hard for this on facebook and everywhere possible...
i talked to sony customer service on this, the rep himself said i am also using the same phone i can understand your situation lol !! can u believe it?!
i asked if i can get a call back from sony for telling that yes they'll improve the speaker volume or not? via futher software updates as that's what's left a chance genuinely, though he said he cannot commint but will mention the same ..
i got a call yesterday even from senior manager of sony, he said to get your phone once updated from a service centre they have a different firmware, i said i even updated it n even repaired it.. he said no they still have a different firmware by which the volume will get high but he didn't commited for the crackling problem then though he said it should also get fine.....
i havn't given my phone as i don't beleive it..... i want to keep it clean and just in 5 days i give it in a service centre no way... so i am counting on its future updates that it gets fine then....
i totally accept xloud makes its sound alot worse like a china phone playing music loud.... i would have understood if it was really loud but in the end its not even loud then why stuttering or crackling?! bullsh*t man !!
I compare it's sound with Xperia P by playing the stock mp3, the P clearly louder than U (and Sola too, it's just as low as U).
Maybe XU is just another failed / defective Sony crap just like X10 Mini Pro / Zylo ...
I managed to live with 4GB storage ... but this is just ... FUUUUUU Sony !!!!!!!!
Maybe the reason is because they still used SE logo instead of SONY on the back cover ...

My God you are so *****in right man, even in its earphone accessory in box, on its tag its written sony ericsson!! wtfffff?!?!
its accessories all has sony ericsson written on it and somewhere its logo like on the back of xperia u, xperia s, xperia p, etc . This means what i believe is sony is first helping sony ericsson to sell of its already created models just adding sony written with few features of sony in it mayb..... as its sony now . Then real sony models totally being sony will start selling off . I may not be totally correct but i am not wrong on many points aswell !
All this hate ??? I can live with that volume happily atleast it has a dualcore processor and a good collection of stock roms... well if you're really looking for a high volume phone then buy a china mobile... to be honest you can't hear anything when you'll be in crowd even if you have xperia x8 right? so be thankful what you have.
So, guys, I've been right. I bought Xperia Go and I got defected device. I've got full compensation and service man told me not to buy Go again or any other Sony smartphone because of lot of defected devices and bad software. What do you think, Go owners? I like Go, because it has small, 3.5 inch display, it's water proof (I want device for sport), but I'm thinking right now about Samsung Galaxy Ace 2, because of Jelly Bean and same price point.
You will get jelly bean for few weeks anyway for Go.
Apple or samsung fanboy.
Sony doesnt have bugs or many defect devices

Yeah, but my defected Xperia Go without working GSM module (airplane mode), from factory reset, screen always off - 22 hours and dead. Sony says Up to 460 h (3G). I was 22 h without 3G. So in this case it wasn't my fault. Or Sony can say bull**** in their site? Or phone stores give you full compensation without any reason?
Auto sync on?
Bluetooth, wifi, GPS?
All that things can be negative on battery life

It is true that sony phones have problems pretty often. I had a placment in a cellphone store once and trhey also confirmed that, people who buy Sony often need to get their phones fixed after a few month and maybe multiply times. I had an Xperia Play before, it had one radio brick, two times bloken flexcable and one motherboard defect... But i have to admit i didnt have problems with my sola yet even though i have it for 6 month already. Other then that Sony is not doing a very good job with their stock roms. I mean, i love the UI, its the best in my opinion, way better then touchwizz, but the performence and memory managment is not very good. Especially when it comes to older or low price devices. That was also the case with ICS on Xperia 11 devices, its terreble laggy while other S2 phones run it smooth.
I'm pleased with my Go <3

If i had an Xperia Go and i was there in the store where you being to ask something or explanation about the phone and he told that stuff what he told to you, i was wooping his ass for sure because he is just a samsung/apple fanboy and dont know anything about Sony if he talk like that because Sony Xperia Phones are very good in performence and quality

Guys sony is the best.....
460h is stand by time not wen using. Understand that first
My tipo is rooted and has pretty long battery life than any other smart phone even wen used.....
Sony creates the best roms....
Want jelly bean??? Try cm10 or other ports

Xperia Go will receive Jelly Bean 4.1. The blatant lie in your comment shows how incorrigible you are.
Ive been using tipo for 2 months now. Its quite rigid, accidentally dropped it to the floor a few times, still tough, loud audio. It sure beats my brothers galaxy5 and galaxy y in battery usage. I can get up to 26h with brightness as low as it can, gaming? About 1 1/2 hour of online nfs mw on 3g, it drops to 75%. Heh, I guess most entry-level android phone cant even last more than 12hours. Its obvious with y and g5, ive run typical test on those two. Long life battery on under rm500 phones? You wont get it with samsung.
Now using:
Sony Xperia tipo ST21i
stock 4.0.4
11.0.A.4.22
(rooted, locked bootloader)
Current problem:
Cant get past installing flash drivers in xp.
