Short Review

  • The Sony Xperia sola features a compact design with dimensions of 116 x 59 x 9.9 mm and a weight of 107 grams, making it lightweight and portable.
  • It has a 3.7-inch LED-backlit LCD display with a resolution of 480 x 854 pixels, offering a pixel density of approximately 265 ppi.
  • Performance is driven by a dual-core 1.0 GHz Cortex-A9 processor and 512MB of RAM, which may struggle with multitasking.
  • The camera is a 5 MP rear unit capable of recording 720p video at 30fps, but lacks optical image stabilization and a front-facing camera.
  • The battery capacity is 1320 mAh, which is relatively modest and does not support fast or wireless charging.
  • The device runs on Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) but can be upgraded to 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich), providing basic functionality.
  • Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 3.0, and NFC support, but it does not support 5G.
  • The phone is available in black, white, and red colors, but lacks water resistance.
  • Overall, the Xperia sola offers basic features suitable for casual use but may not meet the demands of more intensive applications.
