Comparisons Featuring Sony Ericsson Xperia neo V
Short Review
- The Sony Ericsson Xperia neo V features a compact design with dimensions of 116 x 57 x 13 mm and a weight of 126 grams, making it easy to handle.
- Its 3.7-inch LED-backlit LCD display offers a resolution of 480 x 854 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 265 ppi.
- Performance is powered by a Qualcomm MSM8255 Snapdragon S2 chipset with a 1.0 GHz Scorpion CPU and Adreno 205 GPU, complemented by 1GB of RAM.
- The 5 MP rear camera includes autofocus but lacks optical image stabilization, capable of recording video at 720p@30fps.
- The battery capacity is 1500 mAh, providing basic longevity without fast charging or wireless capabilities.
- Running on Android 2.3.4 (Gingerbread), it can be upgraded to 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich), offering a dated software experience.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 2.1, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The phone is available in White, Blue Gradient, and Silver colors, enhancing its aesthetic appeal.
- The absence of a stereo speaker is notable, though it includes a standard headphone jack.
- Overall, the Xperia neo V combines modest specifications with a user-friendly design.
