          I will describe this phone after one week of usage from perspective of normal user.
          This phone feels comfortable in hands and has very good design including bottom LED light so it is original and stands out from some models.
          Unfortunately this phone needs user knowledge of maintaining upgraded ICS as Sony made very bad decision of allowing upgrade to ICS. Keep in mind that phone works better on old version (GB) than on newer (ICS).ICS on U has big problem in keeping activities and handling simple apps even system ones like dialer or messenger.It becomes slow and reduces potential of A9 and it feels like 500Mhz rather than dual core 1GHZ. Solution for speeding up a phone is reducing processes and shutting activities with no animations in developer mode. Touch screen may seem a manufacturer faulty and user who think so, is right as phone struggles with registering touch in some places or you may have to tap twice or three times before phone responds however you can quickly get use to it and you will tap screen a bit harder. Screen display is stunning for this price range and I can give 8/10 stars for screen display which is supported by bravia engine(similar to development of Bravia in Sony TVs). I think battery is well enough to keep your phone on e.g. from 7 am to 9 pm. For people who uses phone very frequently it should me not much problem as weak batteries can be later replaced due to repracable battery. Camera is good but not for mass photo capture and I do not recomend using this camera for dark places even if LED flashlight is reduced.

          Generaly you can only have best use of that phone if you remove ICS stock (you need to flash recovery and root your device) and install stock Kitakat ROMs or Zperience ROMs otherwise you may get frustrated.
          Overall rank is 6.5/10

              Maintenance is the Key! install Clean Master, disable unused modules, press 1 Tap Boost before starting any heavy app / game, keep only limited amount of apps at a time meaning don't press 'Install' next to every colorful icon on Play Store, restart once a week...

Literally all I've tried had the same effect on incoming calls while playing music. Music stops, there's no ringing, I don't hear the caller when I answer but now, as I've removed all of these apps it's all gone and working fine.

                                It is a good phone, overall very nicely designed.
