The Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo is a well-styled handset that could stand out to consumers who are trying to choose between the wealth of Android mobile phones currently on offer. Sony Ericsson has launched a number of smartphones recently, so can this device, which runs on Google's 2.3 Gingerbread version of Android, offer something sufficiently different?
When it comes to build quality, it is apparent as soon as you pick up the Sony Ericsson Xperia Neothat is really light, which makes it really pocket-friendly. Its curved body also helps it slide into the pocket; although it has a humped back that does make it look a tad on the chunky side. Despite this, it is comfortable to hold and it is apparent that build quality is good compared with some other mobile phones. The handset is available in a choice of hues including red, navy blue and silver.
Multimedia wise, there's a bonus in the shape of an HDMI port, which allows the user to plug the handset in to an HD TV if they have one and view any images or video on the big screen. This is great for sharing your holiday photos or pictures of a party or special occasion with family and friends. It's easier than gathering everyone around the 3.7in display of the Xperia Neo. Not that there's anything wrong with the touchscreen, which appears both clear and bright.
If you like taking images, you'll find a decent 8-megapixel camera onboard, complete with Flash. Sony says it has been devised especially to work well in poor light conditions. This is something that cameras on mobile devices generally don't manage too well, so this could be worth taking into consideration if you love taking pictures at parties, in the pub and so on.
As we mentioned before, the Xperia Neo is running the most recent Android OS - Gingerbread. Sony has skinned it with its own interface, which proves to be both intuitive and speedy. This is due in main to the 1GHz Snapdragon processor that can be found inside the chassis.
Sony's own touches included a folders option, which lets you easily organise apps. Far easier to use than Android's native capability, it is reminiscent of the Apple system in this effect. Just tap on an app and you can drag it wherever you like, put it in a folder and you can name it as you wish. It's a good way of keeping your home screen clear if you download a lot of apps.
The display also supports multi-touch, so you can pinch and zoom as you like. Pinch on a home screen for instance and the screen zooms out, allowing you to see all your home screens simultaneously. It makes navigating around the phone really simple.
In all, the Xperia Neo is a well-styled handset (although not everyone will like its design), which offers a good set of hardware along with a number of software alterations that might just give it the edge over the other Android phones on offer.
