Sony Xperia go User Reviews

REALLY GOOD PHONE!!! IT WAS ON ICS WHEN I BOUGHT IT(4.0.4) AND I UPGRADED IT TO JELLYBEAN (4.1.2). REALLY SNAPPY, LOADS APPS REALLY QUICK, MOST GAMES PLAY WITHOUT ANY SIGN OF LAG(EXCEPT ONE). THE ONLY PROBLEM IS THAT AFTER THE UPDATE TO JB, I COULD MAKE OR ANSWER CALLS, BUT THE PROBLEM SEEMED TO FIX WHEN I FACTORY RESETED THE DEVICE. HAVENT TESTED HOW WATERPROOF THE PHONE IS, BECAUSE THE "DOOR" FOR THE USB CABLE HAS BROKEN(ANYONE LOOKING TO BUY IT, NOTE THAT THE DOORS FOR THE PORTS BREAK EASILY).THE BUILD QUALITY IS EXCELLENT, THE SCREEN AND THE OVERALL SIZE IS JUST RIGHT, FILLS YOUR HAND WITHOUT BEEING TOO BIG.OVERALL GREAT PHONE I WOULD RECOMMEND IT TO EVERYONE!

every thing is good & im pleased with my phone
suggest every one to buy this phone
1GHZ dual 5mp camera 110g 3.5"inches water resisntant dust proof call quality mobile bravia engine very slim
i lovvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvve my phone.X)

So, a lovely phone with lovely design though may lose it's headphone and USB cover quite easilly.

It has had two updates since I've had it, in almost three months so I have it like a new gadget quite often...

And hmh, I don't really have anything to write here anymore, used the rating boxes already...

Anyway, I'd suggest this phone if you're looking for a decent phone with affordable pricetag since it's movie quality is great at least in picture, sound ain't top notch though.
Umm... It has quite a lot memory as in media storage and it doesn't really lag that much most of the time though bringing up phone keyboard for calling... It just takes a lot to start up at times and I'm done, I messed up the review text part, sorry. :D

pros:
lightweight, WATERPROOF (IP67)

cons:
VERY LAGGY due to insufficient RAM(merely 512MB of RAM), UI not responding especially when you open many tabs in chrome browser
The screen is small (3.5 inches)

The Xperia Go is IP Code IP67-certified with water- and dust-proofing (up to 1 meter for 30 minutes)
no front camera..good video clarity with bravia engine..but the sound is low.
2.3.7 gb outstanding performance but update ics very slow and laggy..waiting for next update JB..

sony xperia go is good phone for its body , processor and Smartphone with dust and water resistant Sony's first rugged handset since ditching Ericsson as its mobile phone partner, the Sony Xperia Go has taken a number of design hints from its fellow Android-filled, Xperia-branded siblings, lining up with an appealing aesthetic that detracts from the hard-wearing rugged nature of the svelte smartphone.
Despite being IP67 certified - meaning it is dust-proof and can be submerged up to 1m underwater for as long as 30 minutes without damage, the Sony Xperia Go is a slim, compact phone that lines up at a minimalist 9.8mm thick and 110g in weight, just 0.5mm thicker than the smartphone-defining Apple iPhone 4S and considerably lighter than a number of its similarly priced lower mid-market rivals such as the Samsung Galaxy Ace 2.

Brought it as the second phone for rugged use, but the mic suddenly became very faint and kicked out. The mic test confirms its working (very faintly) and then from the sony forum i found this is a common problem with the phone and is hardware and software related. The speakerphone is also not very loud.

The phone is nicely sized, and wider screen makes it an usable 3.5" (unlike the narrow format of the Xperia Ray) and though the resolution is lower than most other Xperia phones in this price range, 480x320 is workable.

However Sony's woes with their ICS update has made almost all their phones suffer, and shame on that.
