Xperia Go

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

Smart, Sleek & Durable
Ups, downs and sudden showers. We’ve designed Xperia™ go to handle everything life dishes out. We gave it a scratch-resistant display, a battery-save mode for when you’re running late and made sure it had the highest water and dust resistance of any smartphone. As a final trick, we put all this toughness in an elegant costume. At just 9.8 mm, you’d never guess that slim Xperia™ go is a giant on durability.
Get the best out of your entertainment on the razor sharp 3.5” Reality Display with Mobile BRAVIA® Engine. Want to watch your favourite show live? Don’t like waiting for your top sites to load? The dual core 1 GHz processor means your Xperia™ Go moves as fast as you do. Browse, stream and download what you like in an instant.

good phone

sony xperia go is good phone for its body , processor and Smartphone with dust and water resistant Sony's first rugged handset since ditching Ericsson as its mobile phone partner, the Sony Xperia Go has taken a number of design hints from its fellow Android-filled, Xperia-branded siblings, lining up with an appealing aesthetic that detracts from the hard-wearing rugged nature of the svelte smartphone.
Despite being IP67 certified - meaning it is dust-proof and can be submerged up to 1m underwater for as long as 30 minutes without damage, the Sony Xperia Go is a slim, compact phone that lines up at a minimalist 9.8mm thick and 110g in weight, just 0.5mm thicker than the smartphone-defining Apple iPhone 4S and considerably lighter than a number of its similarly priced lower mid-market rivals such as the Samsung Galaxy Ace 2.

Build issues, poor earphone, and below par display

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

Brought it as the second phone for rugged use, but the mic suddenly became very faint and kicked out. The mic test confirms its working (very faintly) and then from the sony forum i found this is a common problem with the phone and is hardware and software related. The speakerphone is also not very loud.

The phone is nicely sized, and wider screen makes it an usable 3.5" (unlike the narrow format of the Xperia Ray) and though the resolution is lower than most other Xperia phones in this price range, 480x320 is workable.

However Sony's woes with their ICS update has made almost all their phones suffer, and shame on that.

Smartphone with dust and water resistant

Build quality 9/10 material is rugged and durable ,surely its not cheap,feels nice and comfortable in hand and its thin....9.8mm!!

Reception 9/10 at the beginning there was problem in reception ,but now after firmware up gradation its back on track

Call quality 10/10 Call quality is good

Internet 9/10 speed is nice and cool ,thanks to dual core processor ,loading of the flash contents is nice

Multimedia 10/10 Gallery and the music player is excellent ,xloud makes loud speaker sounds crisp and clear,3D surround sound,sensme are simply adorable!!

Camera 9/10 5mp cam is nice ,but lacks in picture quality compared to sola and xperia u ,but the 720p HD recording is awesome !!!!

UI speed 9/10 UI speed is fast and responsive to the touch,RAM is not 1GB ,but still its managable

Everyday usage 10/10 This is the phone for everyday usuage.Water,dust resistant IP 67 certified.So not at all a problem during rains or travelling in desert or whatever .

Text input 9/10 3.5 inch display is bit small in portrait mode in qwerty typing but in landscape there is no problem at all

Display 8/10 165 ppi is the only disadvantage of the phone ,which lacks in small font clarity in browser but the mobile BRAVIA ENGINE makes the movie experience exquisite.

Battery 10/10 1300mAh battery is good ,i used most of the time for browsing and checking mails and it came for one whole day,and the charging time is less as well...
