Good: Amazing camera, Good design, Ice Cream Sandwich, Near Field Communication

Bad: Camera quality not as good in lowlight, a bit heavyweight, battery life needs to be improved

Comment: I bought this a phone about two weeks ago, and I haven't regretted it. The 4.3 inch screen is bright and vivid with natural colors and a very high PPI, higher than that of iPhone 5.

The camera is great, but in low light situations the camera manages to capture quite a lot of noise. But if you have to take portraits or macros in lowlight you won't be disappointed. Although there are apps like ProCapture "Camera and panorama" it increases camera clarity and reduces noise in many situation s in lowlight.

CNET's review is a bit outdated because this phone got the Ice Cream Sandwich update about a month ago and will hopefully get Jellybean in 2013. Battery life should be improved but it lasts a day, and because of lithium polymer technology it charges really fast.

So yeah I recommend it.

Good: Nice Design, Good CAMERA

Bad: YELLOW TINT SCREEN PROBLEM. 'Regional Warranty'? Not even European Warranty??

Comment: I have the 'yellow tint' problem with my Xperia Screen, which Sony acknowledged that was a problem observed on a number of devices and said to contact my local support that will fix the problem free of charge. However I bought my phone in my home country of Cyprus and just moved in the UK, so since Sony only provides 'Regional Warranty' I will most probably need to pay the charge myself to fix this problem! UNACCEPTABLE!!!

Good: High resolution screen, good camera,fast

Bad: battery

Comment: Over all it is a very nice android phone with a stunning high resolution display that I have ever seen in the phone market. The 1.5G dual core is fast enough to support the daily usage of the phone without any lag. No comment on large games since I haven't tried that out. The heat generated when used extensively is acceptable compared to the HTC One X. It also comes with a very good camera that produced sharp and high contrast photos though some of which may be not natural under certain conditions. It currently runs android 2.3 but it seems an upgrade to 4.0 is not far away. The only bad thing is just the battery. Overall, I like it and given another chance, I will still get it.
