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)!

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.

It's a great phone, I like it I have galaxy s plus and neo and neo is faster in menu even though it has active programs in memory and camera is great the only down side is the screen it ain't as good as super amoled.

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
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..

The sola is a whole other device with the floating touch thing and not really in the same ballpark even as the S and the P.
It's got only a 5MP camera
1Ghz Dual Core
3.7"
512MB RAM
No secondary camera
Apparently from what i'm reading: No Bravia engine
It does have the Novathor u8500 chipset though?
Sola vs S specs: http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=4408&idPhone2=4369
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.
Thank you guys for the suggestions.

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 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.

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.
Anyone compared the music quality of Our Xperia Phones and Our good Old Walkman Phones ???
I have a [email protected] but many years ago I dropped it from a 2nd floor of my house. Since that day the cellphone can't even power on. I tried to flash it (error), charging all the night (nope) l, and I lost the 4gb m2 memory card haha, but the sound was very good with the hpm-85 headphones and amplifier (yes, that cable works like and amplifier).
Oooh, good old times...

Can't really remembered my old walkman.
But the sound quality on the tablet s is far better than Xperia S & Arc.
Probably it due to tegra vs snapdragon

The Quality of my XS is Amazing. The sound of my Tablet S is not so good

i think that the most important difference is on the headphones i have my xperia s on stock rom with walkman and a use it with my old walkman headphones the ones that came with my old w880 and i can say that the soud is the same great thing but with the stock sony headphones that came with my XS the soud is good but not as good as the walkmans one and yes sony is doig something about the volume my XS souds lower than my ex w880 but samen great sound

i love my xperia U a lot.....
never had any problem with it....
using cm11 on it..
just loved it(except for less memory)....
I bought Xperia U one and half year ago! It's a awesome device, considering his price.
Xperia P, good phone to daily use. Nice screen, good camera, good sound, clear voice connections. ****ty battery.
I own a Sola, Nice hardware, bad software.
Got myself a nexus 4.
I beginning to love my Xperia P thanks to the devs
The stock ROM was laggy, with a lot of bugs... Bad experience... Now I have CM11 and it works like a charm
Very fast, with good performance with almost good battery life. Of course, battery life depends of usage.
I loved my XSola but after it got 3 times repaired I don't want to have itanymore, just too much trubles. I sent it back
Really happy with my Sola even if the ICS update pretty much destroyed the battery-life, made the phone extremely laggy and lead me to look into all this rooting and custom-rom business. Currently enjoying a smooth experience with CM11 and battery life seems to be not too far off from the original stock-GB.
I'm either extremely lucky or my phone is abnormally durable because I have not yet bricked it despite fumbling around a lot trying to figure out how to install roms and flash kernel. Also, the phone has been subjected to pretty extreme conditions and gotten away unscathed; high temperatures, low temperatures, high humidity, shaking and rattling, all kinds of gases and fumes, strong electromagnetic fields and radiation.
Size is close to perfect and my only complaint is the low amount of ram which is becoming an issue with newer apps. I've been following the news about Xperia Z1 Compact's successor, but the price will probably be bit too much for my taste.
They could have bothered putting some more extra RAM, the battery is also a bit undersized but hardly as troubling (still gets through an average day fine). The screen size and quality is a big pro, so are lightbar notifications with the right software (talking about which, the power LED is extremely dim, did I get a bad phone or is it designed this way?)
Having paid like 120 € for my U, (but the same place was selling the Go -that actually has worse hardware- for 180!!) I think it was worth the price, on par with the year older Optimus One P500 a friend bought and got me interested in Android
Then again I'm biased by my first Android phone being an Ace 2, with a similiar architecture but 1- (potentially, given the right software) outperforming the U in almost every capability, 2- having switched after 4 years of iPhones and 3- nothing beats free products :laugh:
I like my P, it's good looking, durable (dropped it few times) and incredibly fast with CM 11. Battery capacity is small though but I can deal with that.
Previosly I had Xperia X10 Mini, oh boy that thing was a beast.
There's no phone in the world like Sony's.
They give best feature at cheap price.
Did you know that Steve Jobs was inspired by sony gadgets that he established APPLE

lool
Well, i got to say that Samsung's are the best , but Sony's phones are the most elegant ( also i think that the illumination bar is a great idea, the size of the xperia U is well "thinked" ...if i want a 4.5 inches , i'll buy a tablet)
Never the less, i got a locked bootloader , it's something i could'nt choose as i was buying it. That point is a shame !! :crying:
i've got an xperia u, a good year and a half old now
inconsistent battery life (sometimes i get 12 hours, sometimes i get 2 days both with medium use) and that stupid illumination bar (why nobody managed to create something that permanently shuts it off is beyond me) are the biggest cons
i like its build quality, size and design. for its price it was the best deal back then.
currently running a jb rom on it which is smoother than stock ics but functions like usb tethering and wifi hotspot don't work which is kind of a bummer. it's another pet peeve of mine, ten million buggy roms got released over the past 2 years and not one of them work perfectly.
