Comparisons Featuring Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo
Short Review
- The Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo features a compact design with dimensions of 116 x 57 x 13 mm and a weight of 126g, making it portable and easy to handle.
- Its 3.7-inch LED-backlit LCD display offers a resolution of 480 x 854 pixels, providing decent clarity at approximately 265 ppi.
- Performance is driven by a Qualcomm MSM8255 Snapdragon S2 chipset with a 1.0 GHz Scorpion CPU and Adreno 205 GPU, supported by 512MB of RAM, which is adequate for basic tasks.
- The rear camera boasts an 8 MP sensor with autofocus, capable of recording video at 720p@30fps, while the front lacks a selfie camera.
- The 1500mAh battery offers limited endurance, and there is no fast or wireless charging available.
- Running on Android 2.3.4 (Gingerbread), it can be upgraded to 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich), providing a basic user experience.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 2.1, and microUSB 2.0, but it lacks 5G and NFC support.
- The phone is available in Blue Gradient, Red, and Silver colors, adding a touch of personalization.
- Overall, the Xperia Neo is a straightforward device with essential features, suitable for users seeking simplicity.
- However, its specifications may feel dated compared to contemporary smartphones.
