Excellent phone but some items must be improved

Ga7AsTut has owned it for less than year before publishing this review

very good phone in small form factor
very responsive
nice camera but saved images have poor detail

its a shame that some things must be improved:
tiny loudspeaker hole is easy to block
poor screen brightness in outdoor
home button very hard to press
led alert indicator too small

Build quality 8/10 body can be stronger

Reception 6/10 sometimes it losses signal with no apparent reason o by simply covering one of it sides with my hand

Call quality 6/10 sometimes you can hear noises during a call

Internet 10/10

Multimedia 6/10 sound played by loudspeaker gets distorted and in noisy enviroments is hard to hear. loudspeaker hole is line shaped and its very common to block it with your hand or fingers and sound gets totally blocked

Camera 6/10

UI speed 10/10

Everyday usage 8/10

Text input 8/10

Display 7/10 screen is hard to read in outdoor enviroments

Battery 7/10 battery life can be stronger

Pros

• very reliable and stable phone
• dual camera

Cons

• home button very hard to press
• low brightness screen (in outdoors)
• line shaped loudspeaker hole easy to block
• bad quality camera files (compression?)
• led indicator too small, hard to see
• compass works erratically

BEST MOBILE IN THE 15k Budget

gowthambabu has owned it for less than month before publishing this review

I switched to android mainly for internet usage and for my budget this phone suited well...I've been using this mobile for past few days. The compact design make the phone easily slide into any pocket. Mainly I Like the Charger come USB thing. Its very comfortable. Sound quality when in loud speaker is good when compared to other SE mobiles. Message Inbox is nice. there is no individual folders for sent items,drafts,etc. conversational view is ok. but we cannot save a msg in a seperate folder..its disappointing.

Build quality 4/10 As usual SE never looks into build quality, so we've to be very carefull with the handling.

Reception 10/10 SO FAR SO GOOD

Call quality 9/10 LOUD & CLEAR

Internet 10/10 Both WIFI & 3G are FAST & BEST

Multimedia 10/10 Bravia seems good to me

Camera 8/10 Not bad. Camera quality is not good as promised by SE. But flash satisfies the quality

UI speed 7/10 1 ghz processor does its work while using apps. except startup of the phone..

Everyday usage 10/10 GOOD

Text input 7/10 using dictionary while typing msgs is difficult for me in SE. since this is my 1st SE mobile. But i'll soon learn to handle this.

Display 10/10 SE's unique feature is the display. Bravia makes the display crystal clear. With 0 brightness and in the sun light its visible for me.

Battery 8/10 With normal usage like making & receiving calls & msgs battery lasts for about 1 & half days for me. With WIFI & apps usage battery lasts for 7 hours for me. Not bad for an android phone

Pros

• COMPACT DESIGN
• QUALITY SCREEN
• UI especially shortcuts
• Flash Support in browser
• USB CHARGER
• Camera Flash

Cons

• Poor Build Quality
• Late Startup after switching on the phone
• Camera quality is not good as promised

The prodigal son returns

akshay.31890 has owned it for less than 3 months before publishing this review

I had always been a fan of ericson. Was sad when they went into abstinence a while back with average phones coming out. and then they start their second innings with the New range of smartphones.

The elder brother - xperia arc could rival the top smartphones and then the miniature versin xperia mini pro arrives...Sony eriscon has packed almost all of the arc's features into the mini pro. In the price bracket u cant get a 1ghz (samsung ace is 800mhz only) processor aong with a 512 mb and adngroid gingerbread anywhere. The touchscreen is fantastic! so are the usual widgets.

Though ppl may find the 3" screen weird, its perfect. Saves a lotta unnecessary traversing of ur thumb and also ur battery (compared to other smartphones)

the keyboard is PHENOMENAL. yes a tad hard, but thats the good thing. it feels solid. and the spacing is great. so is the layout of the keyboard in general. But ericson needs to illuminate it better!

The phone has actually performed faster than the Arc in many of its tests! the camera is average for a 5mp (compared to the galaxy ace). front camera is decent. Video recording promises more with hd, but falls a lil short.

gallery and music are usual high ericson standards! :) Battery lasts me about 1.5 days with careful usage. But thats ok. No smartphone gives u a battery life of more than 22 hrs on heavy usage.

Display is good, but is tiring in sunlight. and the phone manages excellant browsing speeds! flagship sony ericson.

Its a great phone for someone...

Its a great phone for someone looking for a mid-level droid. Especially as its sony ericson's return ticket to the top

Build quality 9/10 Feels VERY solid! yes a lil chunky, but atleast its different from the anorexc smartphones nowadays.

Reception 8/10 decent reception. could catch bars very fast.

Call quality 6/10 The one put down. u expect a phone to primarily let u talk. But the in call clarity is average. Improves a little with headphones though.

Internet 9/10 Thumbs up!

Multimedia 8/10 Plays many formats. But the clarity is typical erison! :) also helps to acess contents easily.

Camera 7/10 Leaves u wanting more when u consider a 5mp and the fact tht the makers have come out wit the cybershot series before.

UI speed 10/10 Bloody fast and interactive!! responds like a dream!

Everyday usage 9/10 features are great :) messaging is easy with on screen t9, onscreen keyboard (portraint as well as landscape), as well as qwerty slide out keyboard.

Text input 10/10 Nothing left to desire :) other manufacturers need to get lessons from ericson on thoughtful key placement in qwerty

Display 7/10 Sunlight visibility is a let down..but otherwise, Bravia does well.

Battery 5/10 Yes smartphones do have low battery life, but it could still be better inspite of a 1200mAh battery...i did manage 1.5 days with switching of bluetooth and wifi etc, and mainly turned off auto sync..

Pros

• Speed
• Durability
• Qwerty keyboard!
• Dual camera that supports video calling

Cons

• Battery (but can be worked around it)
• camera quality promises more than it delivers

Average phone

gcs94 has owned it for less than 3 months before publishing this review

I have this white xperia mini pro and the first thing i notice is that typing using the physical keyboard is quite hard as it is not clear in certain light condition due to the keyboard backlight. The picture produced by the camera does lack a lot of details. The sliding mechanism of the physical keyboard is a bit loose. (maybe it's just me) Other than that it is a very good phone for this price tag.
