Xperia Sola
Phone owned for more than a year

Very slow phone. Sometimes apps don't work at all and i constantly have to restart the phone in order for it to work properly. The phone handles dropping pretty well and fits nicely in your hand but in almost every other area it's crap.

It was a good phone...
Phone owned for more than a year

When I bought it was a great phone. It was fast and responsive. After a few months it started to be laggy and slow and now it´s just a phone, not a smartphone. All new apps started to be slow in the middle of 2013 and the Android version is completely obsolete.
