Xperia U vs Xperia Sola - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

Hey guys I just wanted to know which phone you think is better. From what I can tell, the key difference is the resolution (not much of a difference), the build and the memory. I'm not too bothered by the U's 4 GB of memory. Coming from an ace, I've survived on a 2 GB SD card with 150 MB of app storage and 200 MB ROM. Are there any other very important differences? If not I'm probably going to get the sola; it's S$50 cheaper here.

Go for the sola.
U get superior phone for less money

But the battery of sola is not removable. If you bootloop your sola you will think twice! But in other side, Xperia sola has SDCARD slot.
But Xperia U has sharper screen than Sola, and the illumination bar is cool!

OK thanks guys But how are they when comparing battery? I've read issues of the Xperia sola draining due to a linux bug.

Bootlaping is not a big issue pal if you wana switch off phone if stuck in bootlap all uve gotu do I press volume + n power button til 1 vibration
To reset battery continue pressing more till 15 sec and the phone vibrates 3 times and battery reset!!
My advice go for Sola

Both are same in terms of features but Sola has .2inch bigger screen and Micro sd card slot on other hand Xperia U has better looks, Front facing camera, sharper screen, colored strip and removable battery.

---

Go for U, if you don't need sd card slot

---

i got a sola for two reason:
1. sd slot: i used to have a lot of music on my phone so i need a sd
2. larger screen: sola is 3.7" and U 3.5"

---

If you've survived with 2 GB of in your SD, having 4 GB in the U will be better for you, plus you get 2 GB for apps. Good, spacious SD cards are expensive, so if you just put your old SD card in the Sola, you're not much better off. The size difference is negligible in my opinion, and I think the removable battery is a plus for the Xperia U. I'd pick the U.

One awesome thing the Sola has that the U doesn't: NFC!

2.Bigger Screen 0.2
3.Internel 8G+cardslot up to 32G
4.Nice body
5.Floating touch
6.Xperia sola is thiner
7.Light weight

I would go for Sola. It has got a bigger display, which is better for browsing and watching movies. Plus, you can expand your memory by a micro SD card slot. It also has a "Floating Touch", which is quite useless for me at the moment, but it is quite futureproof.

Xperia U might take the cake there. Two of my friends have it and after some use, here's my thoughts - if you need a good Sony phone with expandable memory, Sola is the choice but since you have already mentioned about not being bothered by U's memory, go for the U. Sharper screen, better battery, cool NXT design with colour changeable illumination bar and a nice 8 megapixel camera. Though by slimness, Sola is better but the U beats it overall for me. Identify your usage and take your pick

Definitely sola s better. But if u wanna cheaper phone get U. But lemme tell u External sd plays a major part n u may regret not getting sola

Xperia U camera is 5MP.

Xperia U is NXT series
NFC isn't really useful, I mean, someone steals your phone then you are going to loose all your money. Oh, wait, you need to enter a PIN -> I would rather swipe my card and enter my PIN.
Screen is bigger, but lower ppi on the Sola.
