Sony Xperia U review: Fun united

8 June 2012
The Xperia S has all the spotlight to itself in the NXT series, but history has taught us that Sony (and previously Sony Ericsson) can do wonders in the compact class. In two generations of minis and the Xperia ray, the Japanese have delivered packages that no one in the same price range can beat...

It will officially upgrade to Ice Cream Sandwich (4.0.4) in most regions. Sony have stated that Jelly Bean (4.1) will NOT be released for this model, although a generic version may be available through other channels if you unlock/root which will invalidate any warranty.

                            Had phone about 2 weeks now.

                            IMHO

                            Lovely Sony styling and build(i'm more the square type).

                            Excellent screen (even if a tad small) would suit younger eyes & smaller fingers/styli.

                            Smooth efficient operation overall...smart Sony UI.
                            Speaker (even with xLoud on) is average hence doesn't kill battery.
                            Sound thru my Denon AH-P372 headphones is good/v.good, while thru the supplied MH750s is good.

                            Rear Camera is good/reasonable (might have to play with settings to get best results, video is ok(a bit noisy, but it is only a phone).
                            Reception power on wifi & calls seems reasonable.
                            Battery life ok, i've purchased a spare.

                            As for storage memory, i've resisted filling it with music/videos, i've ordered a minature usbA/microusbB angled adapter and a minaturised microSD card reader...both purchased for approx total of £5.

                            So i'm hoping the memory issue will be solved, i think it is better than a concealed microSD as backing up regime is likely to be more rigorous, plus sharing the memory card is more straight forward.

                            All in all v.happy with my 1st smartphone.
                            A 'free' phone on £10/month contract(UK).

                            but that Experia Z....hmmmm
