Its a great phone with great specs...
it has two shortcomings:
1. Non expandable memory! (though there is otg support)
2. Pathetic sony ics software!
Rest is good...brilliant phone except those 2 drawbacks!

Pros:
Low price dual core phone
multicolor light bar
front cam
ICS
5 MP main shooter
Mali 400 GPU
Bravia Engine
Cons:
Avg. pic quality
Only 4 gb user accessible memory
Not upgradeable to official Jelly bean
No external memory card support
3.5" screen but looks kinda small 'cause of 16:9 aspect ratio
Thats all i can think right now.
If you can live with ICS then instead of U go for Sola-great phone but if you crave for JB then go for P.

Here's a HEADS UP
Sony will release a 16k INR priced budget phone with a 4 inch display (FWVGA) and Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean in the next 2 months, wait for it and BUY IT! Better than any 2012 phone
This phone will pack a Dual Core Krait and 1 GB of RAM as well.

I think sony is trying to be neck to neck with samsung having grand duos around the corner.

YUP better get the indian nexus!
For info: this phone is selling around 28/min

Great bang for the buck, bought mine for 170 euros brand new last year. Lack of storage is not an issue for me, the only thing i wish it had is a bit more RAM (380MB is a tad small, at least real 512MB would be fine)

TERRIBLE touch screen quality
a lot of people like me had to get it repaired because the touch screen missed some letters etc.
really disappointed, I didn't expect such a low-quality component on a sony device.
I am waiting for my phone to come back from the repair center

---

great low cost phone. beautiful.

Really good phone _for_it's_price_! I mean every game I tried on it is smooth-semi smooth. To be honest on Gingerbread, the games performs much better than on ICS. Not just because there are more RAM available on GB, but I think the ICS driver for the GPU is a littlebit off, and it presents much slower/laggier gaming experience.
Not to meniton Camera... Ah, yes. So on ICS there is only MONO audio recording while recording video, and on GB the stereo is quite good! It's even got surround, if you watch the videos with headphones on, you will be surprised that you can easily know where is the sound coming (binaural recording, someone?).
To be honest I think Sony not made qiute a good job with ICS. So for me this phone is better with GB.
The manufacturing quality is good, really good. If you not get the cap off the phhone, it will never get lousy. Screen quality is awesome too.
Sony showed me that they have really good designers. OK, it's my own opinion, but I prefer sony design over any other brand's.
So far I love this phone, and the LED bar is just the tip of the iceberg

The phone specifications are definitely great however I was quite disappointed after ICS update, it took them so long to release it and it simply looks ugly for me. I rooted it, disabled a lot of programs so I get ~125 MB free ram and now using Holo launcher with stock lockscreen. Very nice bang for the buck.

Source? And how is that better than any 2012 phone? The Xperia S, Ion, Acro S, V, T are all better

---

All I know this laggiest phone I ever had even on GB settings lag and games perform way worse than they did on Live with Walkman.

---

Best phone for GB.

---

if you can tweak it a little and get rid of all the useless apps that sony gives in it, its quite a beast! at least for the money you pay for it! There are some great light custom ics or gb roms for it, works great whith those.

---

Mine runs better on ICS..I didn't tweak even a bit. Its close to jelly bean for me.
I m using generic .54 build by pipi..
Awesome phone and love the media apps!
Just a little tip guys, Enable FORCE 2D ACCELERATION in dev settings and your phone will fly.

---

When I bought it, I was thinking it will get nice ICS, and later good JB update. Now Im disappointed - ICS is laggy as hell, camera quality and speed is poor, game performance is low, even with ~150 free ram there are trouble with some games. Old GB is wayyyyy better.
I make mistake and didnt check bluetooth before buing - its only 2.1 and theres no way connecting phone to elm327 car adapter.
I regret selling my GalaxyS...
