Sony Ericsson Xperia pro review: Social Inc.

18 November 2011
Sony Ericsson can sit back and call it a job done. The last of the new Xperias is on the shelves and the impressive lineup gives them plenty of reasons to look forward to the holiday season. Quite a squad they have put together...

        s, 19 Nov 2011Exactly my thoughts. It should have been released early 201... moreYes, it would have been better if it wasn't delayed. However, you're talking nonsense about it not being on par. This pwns most other phones on the market. The only devices that beat it in any way in specs cost a ridiculous £450+.

        Apart from the creaky back cover, the design of this thing is awesome. You need to have the device in hand to appreciate it (photos don't do it justice, especially the photos of the ugly red version or photos of the black under an unnatural strong camera flash). I wouldn't want a bigger screen either as the device is nice and compact as it is.

            Now the design is outdated, screen is small and it's barely on par with lower mid-end smartphones if it wasn't for the qwerty keyboard and a really decent camera (gsmarena didn't make it clear enough in their review - it's one of the best cameras by now).
            But yeah, I suppose it would be better if they just cancelled this phone and came up with an updated one soon. I don't mean a dual core processor because nobody needs one - but a newer design and screen would do.

              What a delightful looking phone. We really do need a top of the range android device with a good qwerty on it.

              The Samsung Galaxy Glide for Europe please?

                  mad man, 19 Nov 2011hey this is ok but wheres my quad core when se go dual othe... moreMan, it's a phone. What are you going to need a quad core for? It's already quite smooth, and hopefully ICS will make web browsing even smoother.

                  Personally, I'd rather have cheaper phones as recently I think prices have gotten a little out of hand for the high-end.

                          Anonymous, 19 Nov 2011the physical QWERTY is a bitch. Adding too much weight. HTC... moreThere's your problem bro - you bought a metal HTC Desire Z. S.E.X. Pro is lighter than Desire Z because of plastic, and the first thing you notice about it when you see it in person is how much smaller, and more pocketable it is than you expect.

                          This also fits in the pocket easier than many touch-screen-only phones. I don't see the point in buying a large touch-screen only phone when you can have this which fits in the pocket easier and allows you to type faster and more precisely. I also really can't see why anyone would want a Neo when you can get a Pro for around the same price!

                                    almost all phone reviews say that the slider of the pro is not wobbly, what hapenned to the pro here in GSMArena?

                                        Quality+functionality= reality :) even though it may not have the latest features it just preforms the best its like the specs do no justice. Comfort with a good quality phone with no lags fantastic querty keyboard + a 3.7" screen with a compact dimension has ONE OF THE BEST resolution REAL vivid color (not bluish ones :) peace! ) function everything that a normal human needs are there and it provides the best of the basics and even more . . .
