harrison, 06 Jan 2014too bad, this handset is no longer available here in ph,...Whats worse is that the U has no successor, Xperia M has too small internal storage for apps. Can only hope the 4.3 update for M will allow for apps to be installed on SD card, like in Xperia C, but i doubt it.

Its not the number of apps but the type of apps, and how much advertizing they do by running in the background, or daemons installed. My daughter can install only 20 apps on her tablet or phone before bogging down, while i can easily have 50+ and same performance as when it was brand new.

        I have a friend who installed all the chat and free calls apps on her phone, Skype, Viber, Yahoo messenger, WeChat, Line, Kakaotalk, Watsapp, you name it. Of course her phone wasnt working well, barely working at all, all those apps run constantly in the background, you cant blame the phone for that.

        First rule for hanging/crashing phones is to uninstall antivirus and anti malware, and do not install from downloaded APKs. If you do then blame yourself for being less gifted, not the phone.

                This model of xperia u is going smoothly till 3-4 months with low installation of applications.
                But if u install more then 50 applications and if it is older then 6-7 it will go dead,means it will go hang repeatedly for sure until unless u format it periodically.
                i will give 2 rating out of 5.

                            I thought this phone was great (except that it didn't take an SD card) That was until one day it just decided not to charge for me, which means all my videos, pictures, contacts...everything is trapped inside it. I have only had the phone for a few months. I have been to 3 different places to see if my information can be recovered, but no luck. I really do not recommend this phone. Go for one that has external memory.

                                  The only problem in Xperia u is the external memory otherwise it is the best phone for low range androids phone

                                    I dont understand the complaints about battery, my Xperia U has the best battery of all smartphones i had, it can last 3 to 4 days on normal usage, and easily lasts a day of somewhat heavy usage.

                                    The problem is wifi, it drains enormous amounts of battery juice if wifi is kept on during standby and will just barely last the day, so i recommend to turn on Extended Standby Mode, or use the quicktoggle widget to turn off wifi manually for even more battery saving. If you are a 3G mobile internet user then Xperia U is an extremely good phone since the wifi drain issue will not bother you anyway plus HSDPA is usually faster than wifi, a win-win situation for this phone.

                                    My U is stable and reliable, no crash, and no hang except when using Chrome browser - i have to use the default Android browser to get smooth browsing.

                                    Very satisfied Xperia U user here, i came from a high end quadcore 1080p phone and was planning to get a new high end phone again soon but im so satisfied with the U that i may cancel my plans to buy Xperia Z1 Mini.

                                        it's handy and pocket sized.
                                        i'm satisfied with this phone...i surf the net,use apps...
                                        since i bought xperia u I don't use my laptop.
                                        but i have to say it has some disadvantages
                                        1.when u answer ur phone it takes some mil-seconds to respond.
                                        2.It has a small display for reading or surfing the net but the small size has positive point to do ur works in ur bed with one hand(seriously good point,u would never understand it unless u try it)
                                        3.it becomes laggy by the time u use it more and install more apps
                                        4.when u upgrade xperia u it gets lag.
                                        5.u have to charge it every half of the day if u work with it 4 hours(surfing the net with data turned on)
