Sony Ericsson Xperia neo V review: Five to go

19 December 2011
Do we cancel the show if the star is not available? This one must've crossed some minds over at Sony Ericsson when the Xperia Neo had to be discontinued. But no, they didn't cancel it. The crew was told to take five instead while they skimmed ...

        I got my Galaxy Ace replaced with SE Neo V one week before.I purchased it only bcz high user rating on FK bt now i realised i did a mistake. SE Neo V has bundel of problems
        1.The handset has problem of overheating if u play games. I played "Cut the rope" for 30 minutes n my handset was so hot to hold comfertably in my hands.
        2. Its OS is far behind than those of Samsung Ace.For example if u r browsing on samsung n u tap on web adderess bar u get "WWW" n ".COM" on keypad button but in Neo u hv 2 type it with normal keypad.
        3. In samsung if u open contact list u can dial the number by just swiping the contant across from right to left n compose the sms by doing it reverse in SE u dont hv such facility.
        4.U can make contact group in samsung bt not in SE

        5.Battery is another issue.SE does not hv normal Li-on battery it has Li Po battery which is less energy efficient, less durable and more prone to blast (if it is overchrged or not charged with proper charger- Consult wiki)
        6.Its 5 MP camera does not perform up to expectation.
        7.Its overpriced if u see its feature n performance.
        8.It has many pre installed apps which has no use n u can not unistale them.
        Good things
        1.It has better display than Ace.
        2.It gives faster browsing speed than Ace.
        ce.3.It has better pocetabilty than Ace.
        If u want purchase Sony hand set in this range.Xperia-U is wiser choice.Xperia -Sola does not offer value of money.Now I am missing my Galaxy Ace.
