Sony Xperia U user reviews

Good: dual core, relatively cheap, easy to handle with one hand

Bad: the edgy corners are uncomfortable to handle

Comment: It is relatively cheap when you consider it's specs namely it is dual core. and I just upgraded it to ICS. as for the size it fits one hand fairly easily. for typing I use a gesture keyboard (slideit) and I find it pretty easy to type even for its narrow design. I could easily type single handed.

Good: snappy processor, mood light, decent camera, excellent screen, well built

Bad: still runs android 2.3 (as of 05/8), shutter key is fiddly, vertical typing is tough due to small screem

Comment: I've had this phone for about two months now, and I absolutely love it! The specs are impressive for a phone of this price, and the mood light adds personality and style, which is hard to come by in the midrange. The design is blocky and simple, but minimally elegant - mimicking it's bigger brother: the Xperia S.

The processor, a 1ghz dual core, is snappy enough for most: it'll handle Angry Birds and the like with gracious ease - though it will stutter on some more memory-hungry 3d games. Web browsing is slick and fluid, too.

The combination of Sony's NXT Launcher and Android mean the UI simply makes sense. It's probably the least garish and obtrusive of the launchers, though at present it does lack some of 4.0/ICS's bells and whistles (such as Face Unlock, for example).

The camera performs well all round, especially in low light, but to shoot in 16:9 widescreen, you have to put up with a measly 3mp of image quality. Video quality is also less than stellar: despite the 720p quality, audio (especially speech) is practically inaudible from distances greater than about 4m.

Despite these gripes, this phone represents incredible value for money - I didn't mention the incredible Bravia Engine Display, which ensures every tiny detail remains pin sharp onscreen. I highly recommend this phone.

9/10

Good: Everything, the price especially.

Bad: The camcorder.

Comment: Although the camcorder isn't wonderful... (it's awful) It's only costing me £7.50 a month with 250 minutes, 5000 texts and 500 mb of internet. Who gives? It's a wonderful phone! Seriously, if you want a good phone and your not planning on any particularly heavy use and aren't wanting to get 1st place at a mobile film festival or you just want a phone for it's pure purpose of being a phone then get it. Don't argue, it's great value, it has everything you could want in a phone apart from the things I've mentioned. My Mum loves it. :)
