Sony Xperia miro Review
0. phoneArena posted on 28 Sep 2012, 04:28
Let's say you are a young, socially active individual who is looking for a decent smartphone, but isn't quite ready to drop a boatload of cash on one. Well, the Sony Xperia miro, which we are reviewing today, is made just for you then. It is a low-end handset with a 3.5-inch screen, 5-megapixel camera, and a number of built-in social networking features. Add to all this the blessing of running Android 4.0 ICS out of the box, and we have a clear winner on our hands, don't we?...

so what do you expect for an entry level droid, PA?

Agreed... Just the screen resolution that's a letdown.

3.5inch, 1500mA battery and cheap price,... Uhm, seem promising.

I really don't think the camera is that great. It is not good with subjects that have shadows. They show up as totally dark blobs. And the bright objects in these photos are usually washed out. You can see examples in my HubPages article entitled Sony Xperia Miro Review by Randy M. Otherwise, I think the phone is great. I just carry it around to check emails and make phone calls.

Phone Arena you are wrong about the browser being laggy. I have been using this phone for days now & the browser actually loads pages very fast & scrolling is smooth I have no idea where you get that idea. This phone for the price is very good & what Sony has done with ICS has made it very smooth and fast for what it is compared to even the dual core Xperia U this phone seems smoother imo.

The browser is fine. I don't know what they are comparing it to, but I am quite happy with its speed. The voice-activated browser function is also flawless.

Currently £99 @ Carphone Warehouse UK. Well built,screen is nice clear & bright & the res does not make it that bad at all. Call clarity,battery life & signal excellent . Camera pics better than expected

Samsung Wave 3 is better than this phone. For same price range we get almost double the CPU speed. Screen is almost same (just 0.5 inch bigger). Resolution is better. And also if you love to record videos, it has 720p recording which miro doesn't have. Battery backup of wave 3 is also good.
The main fallout of wave 3 is that it has Bada operating system and if you like android better.
Here is detailed comparison of these two:

I've been eyeing on this product for a while and I must say it is a pretty decent mid-ranger smartphone! ONE OF THE BEST OF ITS RANGE AND CLASSIFICATION! Kudos to Sony! Perfect for a student like me who's always short on budget! I'm still saving, wanna buy this phone really sooon. Hope I will win Sony Mobile's promos on Facebook! LOL. :D

I Think It Is The Best Smartphone From Sony For Students Like Me As It Is Under Budget And Its Integrated Facebook App Is Really Good For Us And Its ILLUMINATION Light Is Also Fabulus I Will Reccomand Another Students to Have This Mobile Its Preety Good And Sleek.......

Would you be kind to tell me if this phone has the ability to listen to music and take photos in the same time?

This is my first android device and so far so good. my only concern is that, when im using the walkman is that, the volume it tends to slow down for some occasion then pumps up, which is a bit annoying and alters the walkman experience. anyone who is experiencing the same problem? plzz help...

I like the phone - economical, good reception, call quality and the browser works great. I have had it about 6 months. It's just a little hard on my old eyes. I look forward to getting a larger display phone in the future to help my eyes out a little.

I bought this product here in Philippines. I thought that camera is great, but upon having a first shot on rear camera in a dim light dining room, it got a poor quality image even with Led Flash. Ouch!.. Then upon testing the front camera, MY GOD!! The Front Camera captures VERY VERY Dark in a Well lighted room?... So what's this phone anyway?. I've spend almost big amount of money buying this low grade phone ( I was fooled ) and with these quality pictures that they are advertising they are all fake..f**k off Sony!.. And one thing the phone is just light/ not heavy to my curiosity, upon checking the BOX, is says... MADE IN CHINA... I wanna burst into disappointment....

Yes, the front camera isn't very good. Even for Skyping I found out. You need to be either outdoors or in a very well lit area. The back camera is ok, but it has a hard time with shadows. But, I still like the phone for a communication device. BTW, most devices are made in China these days, even the esteemed iPhone 5. If you bought this for the camera, you made a mistake. I always carry a good camera with me and don't depend on the phone so much for shots.

Sony Xperia Miro has a great looks. This phone runs on android os. It has better specification among all the sony phones in this proce range. But, it has low pixel density around 165ppi. I msut say Samsung Galaxy S duos is the better option over Xperia Miro. I have seen 91mobiles is offering the best price.
