The most under rated phone on the market.

The phone on paper doesnt jump out like its rivals such as the S3, but if you actually read in to what makes a great phone then this is easily the phone of the year in my opinion.
The phone design is very sexy. It reminds me of the old Xperia Arc but just a bit fatter. It disributes its weight really well over your hand for good balance. Its got a matt/rubber casing which adds to grip too. Id say its the sexiest phone on the makret yet at the same time has a practicality to its deisng so its not shallow.
Also you will be glad to know that it doesnt have an AMOLED screen. Unlike with the Samsung S3 which has very saturated and unnatural colours, as well as a common problem with screen burn. Sony have gone for using some of their products from their TV department and stuck in the Bravia Engine in their screen. Its subtle rather than flashy and smooths over photos and videos to make the experience a little more polished without trying to blow your brains out. It works great for grainy Youtube videos.
I would have liked to have seen Whitemagic in this phone but sadly it has been missed out. I had White Magic with my Xperia P and it was absolutely sensational!
The camera is incredible. Not only do you have the choice to go all the way up to 13 megapixels if you need it, but they have put in the Exmor R sensor which handles the extra noise very well. Its also supposed to be good for low light level photos but to be honest I notice little difference here.

Sony are famous for having good cameras and this phone is no exception. It has bundles of extra features. Sadly though I have noticed the focus in this camera to be a little slow. This undermines its instant photo taking sometimes, which is a shame, but if you want to use this camera properly (like it was intended) then you will want to take your time anyway...it will be worth it, trust me. The pictures are VERY sharp.
The phone only comes with 16gb of internal stroage. A lot of people have bad mouthed Sony for this but what they fail to realise is that in my local shop the phone is £150 cheaper than the Samsung S3. People who only use a small amount of information now dont have to pay for huge amounts of memory unless they want too. You can get a 64gb SD card on Amazon now for £40, thats 80gb and still £110 cheaper than tis rivals. Enough said.
This phone does have a lot of Sony software on it. Some people do not like it and some dont mind. I wasnt too keen on it when I first saw a lot of it on my phone but now I use Music Unlimited a lot. Its a cheap and fantastic service. Their music selection is incredible and you have access to all the music in the world (pretty much) at any time. Its great for parties and discovering new music.
They have added the new Playstation store which was MUCH better than I thought it was going to be. They have added everything from PS1 games to completely free games, and the software looks modern and polished. Remember, when you sync PHONE REVIEW CUT SHORT
