Sony Xperia sola Pro Reviews

The Sony Xperia sola is a routine exercise in midrange smartphone making but Sony won't do without those if they're to quickly get where they want to be. This isn't about HD screens, quad-core CPUs and umpteen megapixel cameras - the Xperia sola goes by the 80-20 rule. That is, it tries to deliver 80% of the functionality for 20% of the price (okay, it's more like 50% here, but that's how technology works). One of the corners Sony had to cut was Ice Cream Sandwich, which is expected sometime in the second quarter of 2012. On a second thought, ICS-powered devices are still hard to come by in this price range, so this probably isn't a major liability. Competition is hot right now and even some in-house battles will be unavoidable. If you can live without the microSD card slot and keep within the 8GB of internal storage, the Xperia U is almost an exact match. The U comes with the cool NXT design scheme to make up for the 0.2" smaller screen and costs less than the Xperia sola, which could be a decider.

After putting it through its paces, we can conclude that the Sony Xperia sola is a well-made Android smartphone. If you are looking for a decent mid-range offering that gets you a good amount of bang for the buck, do not hesitate to check it out! We would definitely recommend it over smartphones like the Samsung Galaxy Ace plus or the Motorola MOTOLUXE. Alternatively, we have the HTC One V marketed at a similar price point, and even though it does not have the performance advantage of a dual-core processor, it comes with a superior display and a slightly better camera.

The Sony Xperia sola is a low to mid-range Android phone that introduces a new feature called floating touch. It appears to have a unique design and comes with an NFC chip, but it has average specifications and will initially ship with an outdated version of Google's Android software.
