Sony Xperia V review: Bond’s wetsuit

29 January 2013
It won’t be long before those full-HD five-inchers start stealing the show and the older Xperia generation should be preparing for life in their shadow. It doesn’t mean though that the Xperia V cannot hope for a good time. We don’t see why...

          I bought this phone the end of January 2014. Feels great to have a waterproof phone as this one, though I never try to put it under water. However, battery is the main biggest problem. If you are working outdoor, prepare for a power bank, or better, find another mobile phone.

                I only got these phone as replacement to my acro s because of motherboard failure. Good thing it is under warranty. After 9 months of using it. I still don't know if it is going to last for one year.

                        It's unbelievable they don't deliver bigger batteries as this is meant to be an energy-consuming LTE phone.
                        And a better screen readability in sunlight as this is meant to be used in outdoor areas. Or why else pay for IP57.
                        And it suffers from black artifacts at edges all over camera images - a typical problem for Sony Xperias of 2012/13.

                        So evry point where the phone could beat competition is blocked by Sony by reducing the necessary other means to do so:
                        LTE - no good with little battery
                        IP57 - no use with poor outdoor screen
                        12MP cam - no good with poor image algorithms or chips
