Sony Xperia U review: Fun united
So, Sony know what they're doing in the midrange. The Xperia U is so comfortably ahead of similarly priced smartphones that it's one of the easiest to recommend.
And as if that's not enough, the Xperia U is perhaps the most affordable dual-core droid. It's the cheapest way to get a FWVGA display too, and the build and finish are worthy of a flagship. You wouldn't normally expect to get anything else on this kind of budget, but you are in for another surprise.read more →

- Quad-band GSM /GPRS/EDGE support
- 3.5" 16M-color capacitive touchscreen of Full WVGA resolution (854 x 480 pixels) with Sony Mobile BRAVIA engine
- Android OS v2.3.7 Gingerbread, planned Android 4.0 ICS update
- Dual-core 1 GHz Cortex-A9 CPU, 512 MB RAM, NovaThor U8500 chipset
- 5 MP autofocus camera with LED flash and geotagging, Multi Angle shot
- 720p video recording @ 30fps with continuous autofocus and stereo sound

Sony Xperia U review: a little slice of Android that punches above its weight
While the Xperia U might appear to be the next one down from the P, better battery life and general performance make this a worthy consideration if you have an eye for a smaller phone.
We admit that we've spent a lot of time talking about what this phone is not. So, now we'll sum up exactly what it is. The Sony Xperia U is a good phone, if you are looking for something a little smaller. It is perfectly capable for most daily-use situations.read more →

- Smooth performance

- Limited storage space
- Old Gingerbread OS
- Some minor software quirks
Sony's small Android smartphone offers a dual-core processor and plenty of charm
If you're not caught up in today's obsession with enormous display sizes, the Sony Xperia U is a great choice of smartphone.
It has all the speed, power and features of the larger Android phones that cost two or three times as much - your only compromise here is seeing it all through a smaller display.read more →

Sony Xperia U Review
Sony has cut a few corners to achieve the very affordable price of the Xperia U , like the lack of oleophobic coating and microSD slot, but these are still overshadowed by the cool design and the contemporary specs like a dual-core processor and screen with good pixel density. Where it really dropped the ball, however, is the camera module - we’ve seen better 5MP shooters in Sony handsets dating back to 2010, especially in the video capture department.read more →
- Very good specs and design for the price
- Two seconds sleep-to-snap camera mode
- Good call quality
- Strong and clear loudspeaker
- Transparent strip illuminates with different colors
- Subpar video quality
- No microSD slot
- Lack of oleophobic coating
